GoLDBUGS IN JAPAN.
Newspaper Objects to Silver Reserve
In Jananese Bank.

Seattle, Aug. 42.-The Jill, Japanese
newspaper, a late copy of which has
been received here, does not approve
the action of the Bank of Japan IN
adding a large amount of silver to the
reserve fund. It says the bank has,
at the request of the government,
added 5000, 600 yen worth of silver bull
lion to its hard money reserve, and
issued the same amount to convertible
notes. lending them to the government
The bank has now in its possession
gold reserve amounting to 63,OOO,0O0
yen. The bank. having added to this
5000. 600 yen, is now able to increase
the issue of convertible notes. This,
says a contemporary, will tend to
raise the price of commodities and in
crease the excess Of imports. On the
contrary, it~will weaken the basis of
the convertible note system. The
holding of a reserve, says the paper,
in silver by central bank is inlmlcal
to it's interests. Such plan must be
abolished
