The introduction of machinery in connec-
ton with the industries of the Japanese is
SO recent that at present it is very difficult
to form even a remote idea of the effects
of it's application SO far, and much less as
TO what they will be in years to come. be-
cause there has not yet arisen sufficient
competition among the Japanese them
selves to prove whether they have the abil-
ity to apply it successfully in sufficiently
large undertakings as to make II perma-
nently profitable.
A Double Competition.
The time, however. is fast approaching.
IL it is not already at hand, when the test
will begin, for the cotton and silk mills of
Osaka and Kiyoto are nearing struggle
which is likely to severely test their pow
ers of Endurance. The fall in the price Of
cotton and the large increase in the num-
Der Of these mills is bringing about a COM
petition which must have very trying re-
suits for all Of them because, being SO far
away from. America and India-the two
great cotton supplying countries, their
cheaper raw material has scarcely arrived
before the cheaper manufactured yarns

Such lgures as the above are enough to
make the most staid people feel elated
and especially proud and self-opinionated
race like the japanese: for it will he seen
that the trade Of the last five years was

an" especially d proud ana -opinlonated
race like the japanese: for it will he seen
that the trade Of the last five years was
more than double that of the first ten Mon
toned in the above list.
Exports and Imports.
1t also shows that the exports, which are
exclusive OF packing charges, commission
and freight, are very little less than the
imports. which often include some of these
Items. Besides in the imports there are in
cluded 4S25,S55 yen for caunons 2057 2g5
yen for muskets and 1910. 400 yen for car
tr!Gges making a total of IL SD, SO yen for
arms and munitions of war And this does
not represent one-fifth of the imports for
those purposes which are included in the
above mentioned figures, because machn-
cry, implements lead and other raw ma
terals, which have been used in the coun-
try for the manufacture of arms and NUM-
items of war-the value of which must be
very considerable-are mixed up with those
imported for the general use of the people.
If all these items could be separated and
deducted from the total of the imports, il
would be seen that the foreign trade of the
country during the last twenty-five years
has been nearly half a hundred millions of
yen in favor of the Japanese. If this
NOR ey had been spent In furthering the
trades and industries of the country and its
natural resources, instead of being used for
military eXtension-the wisdom of which
is now doubted by some of Japans most
SDlt SldltSu.eAi- Vi lllS tOuliily
would not be in the deplorable condition
they now are.
Growth of Her Industries.
But, in order the better to understand
the growth of the principal industries of
Japan during the last twenty-five years,
the study of the following list of general
exports will prove advantageous, because
it indicates not only the increase gener-
ally, but shows up conspicuously those in
austrieS which appear to be the most
suited to the majority of the people.
1 have taken only the years 1872, 1882
and 1896, because they show the increase
during those PERIODS; for it would entail
very considerable labor to give the ship
ments of all the years comprising those
periods, and v ould be of little extra value.

The Rustlers in: Limbo.

Howard Smith, the rustler who
some two weeks ago maketed a
bunch of cattle at Sioux City Belong
ing to Col. L. p. Stone of Dead wood
has been brought back to the latter
town and will probably get a good
term in the pen for his offense.
This Smith is not the notorious
"Hank" Smith, the king of cattle
rustlers, but is a young man who
was in the employ of Col. Stone at
his ranch near St. Onge up to a few
weeks prior to this occurrence. At
the time he marketed the stolen cat
tie Smith gave his name of Finch.
Smiths pal, one Peter Carberry,
was captured at Stewart, Neb., and
is thought to be at the bottom of the
whole deal. Carberry was brought
back also and is now in jail at Dead
wood. Both men will no doubt 20
over the road as sufficient evidence
has been obtained TO secure con-
viction.
