This phenomenal increase In our ex-
poftati0ns 90 the orient. and especially
20 Japan. is the more surprising because
of recent information from Japan which
that country have been greatly de-
creased under iis new tariff which Is
mildly protective The total imports
of Japan 90 the year 1899 were 22OSst,-
C1g yen. against 211. j02. l5l yen In the
preceding year the value OF the yen
being 1850. Thus 10 Is seen that while
Japan Is decreasing her general imports,
she continues 10 rapidly increase her
imports from the United States.
The remarkable growth Of our eN-
ports 10 the Orient. however only be-
comes fully apparent when the figures
OF the present exports are compared
with those Of q few years ago. For
instance, our exports 10 Japan in the
fiscal year 1898 were but S3,ls54s4, ana
I'm 1893 they were SlI26i,6SS, and seem
likely 90 be- $4,000 900 In the fiscal year
1909. To China, our exports OF 1888
were Sc 900 49, and In the present fiscal
year will be IN round terms 3l5,0o0Oo
To Hongkong our exports during the
period have doubled being NZ6.0o2 IN
1893. and promise TO be over tbOO0OOO IN
I'm the present fiscal year. To Austral-
asia the exports of 1893 were SlsZlZ-s'
and promise 20 De fully 100000 In the
present fiscal year To Aslatlc Russia
the exports of 1893 were less than a
quarter OF a million dollars. hut VIII
reach fully 3260000O In The fiscal year
about 90 end.
Even more remarkable, however IS
the growth iu our exports 10 the Ha-
wailan and Philippine islands. To the
Hawaiian Islands the exports OF 1898
were 81 1927. 56s. in 1899, 1896, 40, and In
the fiscal year 1900 promise TO be fully

SAVINGS BANKS IN SALOONS.
by the Russian GOvernment-Wiu
De Watched with Interest.

The Russian government is encour-
aged by the rapid increase in the num-
Der of savings bank depositors and
followed the opening of many new
offices or branches of savings banks,
to attempt still further to stimulate
the practice of making provision for
i'll health or old age, and preventing
the dissipation or waste of surplus
earnings. To this end it is proposed,
among other things, to open savings
bank agencies in connection with all
government establishments for the
sale of intoxicating liquors. That is
certainly a novelty, and it moves a
prominent financial and commercial
paper in this country to remark that
the suggestion of such savings banks
seems to SAVIOR of irony.
But need it be considered absurd or
ironical to advocate the opening of
places for savings in connection with
drinking saloons or liquor stores? Is
that not just where they are most re-
quired? Would not more men refrain
AloAh SPNhuihS IhCll LIOhCD Iol ollOIlS
drink if they found in sight, where
they went for that purpose, bank
for savings, making its appeal to
prudence and reason?
Of course, on the other hand, there
would be the danger that if mans
bank deposits were at hand when he
was in drinking place he might with
draw his savings to squander them
for liquor. That would be most un-
fortunate, but is it reasonable to sup
pose that the tendency in that direc-
tion would be half as strong as the
opposite and salutary influence to-
ward prudence and sobriety?
The question is at least an open one,
and if the Russian government shall
try the experiment, on a large scale,
the test will be of the utmost inter-
est to temperance workers all over
the world. If anything effective can
be done to check the use of strong
drink and the waste of money in sal
oons by multiplying places for receiv-
ing savings deposits the fact ought to
be known as soon and as widely as
possible.-Clcveland Leader
