to China;now suddealy with the rapid
decline OF silver, this trade has been
deraDged, owing to the consequent
change in the rate Of foreign exchange
for China. For although China has
lately declared her purpose TO estab-
lish the gold standard in the near
future, she is still silver using cOun.
try, and therefore as soon as the gold
price of silver falls, the valve of
Chinese money in Japan declines.
Thus, during the months Of Septem-
Der and October, the silver tael of
China has fallen from 81 to -; and in
consequence of this. the japanese
cotton manufacturers could not eX-
port their products to China and their
goods are still heaped up in Osaka.
But this correspondent maintains
that Japan's trade with gold standard
countries has improved since the in.
PRODUCTION of the gold standard.
1t is all matter Of international
interest, and particularly in its bear
ings on the cotton industry. The
same charge respecting the effects Of
the fall of silver on the export trade
in cotton goods from gold to silver
countries is made by the depressed
Lancashire manufacturers in Eng.
land, and our own cotton industry
must be adversely affected from the
same causes, though to a much less
degree, since OureXport trade is COM
paratively slight Meantime the
japanese III in try haYe been disap-
pointed in the chief purpose for which
the gold standard was set up-namely,
so TO Improve the public credit and
cause an appreciation IN the value OF
public securities, as to invite on in
flow of foreign capital and public
loans for increased armament and
other objects in keeping with the new
ambitions Of the empire. These aims
have been engulfed in the severe in
dustrial reaction which is now swee D.
ing over the country.

APPOINTMENTS BY THE SENATE

Considerable is being said in the
newspapers OF the remarkable record
President Mckinley has made in the
confirmation OF his appointments 10
Office. 1t appears that, out OF three
thousand appointments made by him,
only one has failed confirmation
in the senate. 1t strikes us that
there is nothing remarkable about this
rec0rd:- IL is easily accounted for. Mr..
KcKinley is inclined TO permit the
individual senators TO name the ap-
pointees for places in the first instance,
and 1t isquite natural that they should
be confirmed by the senate. The SEN
atorial bosses are simply approving
collectively their own, individual
nominations for Office. The right to
appoint for Office under the consti-
tuition IS given TO the president, and
IL is trust that he ought TO exercise
personally, with care aud dellberation.
As IL is not possible for the president
to know much ABOUT the fitness and
quail itications of applicants for office,
IL is proper that he should advise with
persons whose knowledge of them
will enable hun to perform this duty
rightly; hence, it is quite proper that
he should consult with the senators,
and give due weight and consideration
TO their suggestions, but lie should
not allow them to determine the ap-
pOintments, or regard such sugges-
lions other than advisory. There
are often other sources Of information,
less interested, especially when strong
objections are being urged against the
capablllty and integrity Of the ap-
pointee, which ought to be consulted.
The senators might feel obliged to
recommend men for responsible po.
sitiOns for support rendered in the past,
or desired in the future, who are
without qualifications or business
morals. We distrust the principle
that allows the senators so much in
lluence in the appointment, and be.
lieve its free operation detrimental
TO the public service.
