while gold coin has decreased over ss4,-

movement is shown in the addition of
1900. 900 silver dollars, Sc, 800. 900 in silver
certificates and over s5.20O.0oO in sub
sidiary silver to the amount in circula-
ton. The increase in the whole money
circulation for the year was 1926 900.
the aggregate on May being $685.
5254s3
On an estimated population of 10000
coo this would be s27.47 per capita. On
the treasury estimate Of population, IT,
$4,000, the per capita is s265S. an in
crease OF $1.09 over the same date last
year. That these figures are only ap-
proximate, after ALL is shown by the fact
that the estimate of the amount Of gold
In the country is not reliable, and the
experts are now engaged in hunting for
an apparent discrepancy of s40000O.ooo
between the theoretical and the appar-
emily actual total gold in use.
People Of the fiatist order who cannot
see beyond the ends of their noses will
point to the increased per capita circula-
ton and shout that here is the explana-
ton of prosperity. They need to be re-
minded that effects usually follow
causes instead of preceding them. The
increase in the volume Of the nations
circulation has come through the de-
mands made by renewed business activ-
ity and the wise legislation of the Re-
publican party. The banking law now
permits national banks to follow to
moderate extent the demand for more
money. 1t also enables bills to be put
out In localities where there Is temper
airy need. as for moving the crops. and
retired when the emergency passes.
The tremendous expansion of our
trade, both domestic and foreign, called
for larger amount of the medium Of
exchange. This has been provided in
natural way, in response to a natural
demand, instead of having an arbitrary
political addition Of deprecated silver
or worthless notes, which is the Demo-
cratic plan. The larger per capita rep
resents the effect Of larger business
transactions, and 1t has come in con-
junction with a more absolute assur-
ance OF national credit, of the parity Of
all our forms Of money and the stable
value Of the dollar. Not the least of
the titles of the Republican party to the
confidence and support Of the people is
written in the record OF these currency
changes.

Injustice to Seattle.

We reproduce from the Seattle Trade
Register OF May 20 the following state
ment Of customs business for the Puget
sound district. The figures carry their
absurdity on their face. We are accus-
toned to reports that reflect injustice
upon this city; but when the imports
OF Seattle are given as In excess of only
the three smallest ports in the district,
when even Port Townsend is made to
foreign trade credited to 1t, then the alb
surdty is so patent that nobody in the
least familiar with the facts can be de-
ceived Here is the precious statement:

the hours of labor and improve the con-
ditions Of the coal miners generally
would be particularly favorable to the
Southern negroes and to that extent
against the interests of their white en-
ployers. The negro laborers Of the
South are not a political factor. Their
votes are not counted even when cast.
There is no political capital to be made
out Of legislation in their interest, while
there Is certain political disfavor for
any Southern member Of congress
whose vote Is recorded for any PROPOSE
ton to improve the material condition
Of the Southern negroes at the expense
Of their white employers. When the Ia
Dor question thus assumes a concrete
form in proposed actual legislation. the
political voice Of the South Is raised
promptly against the proposition. And
this will always be the case, so long as
the negro vote is suppressed and the
labor question and the negro question
are inseparably connected in that sec
ton of the country.
The Republican party does not pose
on this or on any other question. II
legislates. To II, and TO 1t alone. can
labor look for the making OF federal
statutes in its interest, in the future as
in the past.

in bond or for export, are imports
and should be so given in all totals
Those totals can be distributed later
among their several classifcations.
The gist of the matter is this: that
our imports of dutiable merchandise at
this port last month were certainly sew
eral times as great as the sum mention
ed in this report: that the comparison
is, therefore, utterly unjust. untrue and
odious, as a glance at the column of ex-
ports would show; that the brunt of this
Injustice falls on Seattle. and the ex-
tent of her commerce is concealed and
misrepresented. And our total imports
last month. under the proper and Of
fetal meaning of that term. were ser-
eral times as great as the amount cred
tied in these figures to the entire Puget
sound district. Both absolutely, as to
amount. and relatively, as to COMPARE
son with other cities, Seattle is dis
eliminated against. We call the atten-
ton of the proper authorities to this
grave blunder. by no means the first of
the sort that has occurred. and ask its
correction.

The natural monopoly of the Nome
trade enjoyed by Seattle has not been
pleasing to other Coast cities. Some Of
them have gratified their envy by pub
fishing statements that many of the
vessels leaving this port for the north
were unseaworthy overcrowded and in
sufficiently provided with life-saving ap-
paratus. The statement OF capt Bry-
ant. of the United States marine board,
which appears in our local columns this
morning, should set this SANDER at rest
Every vessel leaving Seattle has been
inspected carefully and has complied
with the prescribed regulations. 1t Is
occasion for no small congratulation
that a traffic so unparalleled has been
cared for with all due regard for public
comfort and safety.

ived. Here is the precious statement:
On this report the Trade Register
comments edltorialy as follows:

comments editorially as follows:
In our issue of April 81 we gave the
March customs business for the Sound
district and noted the marked discrepancy
in exports from Seattle and Tacoma.
In this weeks issue we give the April
report for the district. which seems 10 be
just as much astray. The Import cargo
Of the steamship RioMn Maru, on April
h. comprised Y 800 packages amounted
to something Ike $500 10. the S12 bales OF
silk alone being worth S2lS.950 As the
total for the ten ports credited with i'm
ports last month is only sl74 709 the gov
eminent must be putting out some Won
derfully complied statistics
As Seattle collects about half the
duties Of the entire customs district. It
is all the more singular that these errors
should be 50 persistent and that they
should be made to tell against this city.
As We have said. no one on the spot Is
deceived by such figures or pays the
least attention 10 them. But they are
reprinted joyously by the enemies OF Sc
attic and circulated in the East TO show
how small is the volume OF our foreign
business on THIS Coast Then the in
justice OF such records becomes real and
serious
We have not been able thus far to
ascertain what is the true amount OF
imports and exports at Seattle. owing
TO the abundant red tape which pre-
vents the giving OF such Information 10
the public. We have. however. made
some inquiries among importers and
other business men. with the result Of
proving conclusively that the duties
alone paid on imports al this point last
month were not far from twice the
amount Of the 5000 with which We are
credited as the total value of the I'm
ports themselves. And this take
OF dutiable merchandise alone. Goods

Only a Fake.

1t is always easier to lie about your
successful competitor than 1t is to ex-
plain why you cannot hold your own
with him. The principle is so old and
threadbare that the Tacoma Ledger
ought really to get up something better
as a reason why that town has failed
to get any portion of the Alaska trade.
1t published yesterday long article. In
Guiding price tables that were not veri-
fled by any authority and alleged state
ments that were not reinforced by the
names of those supposed to have made
them, all going to show that the price of
Quitting staples is from 20 to % per
cent. less in Tacoma than in Seattle.
All lying is foolish, but this is particu-
on its face.
There could not be, as there is not,
any such difference in markets so near
together. OF course, where business is
done on an immense scale, as it is by
the mercantile houses OF Seattle, they
can afford to do better in prices than
in one-horse town where large profits
must be made from small sales But
the difference in favor of Seattle is not
only in prices. though it's advantage, in
that respect is real, but also in the CON-
pleteness of the markets, the ample sup
plies from which the purchaser selects
and the knowledge OF our merchants
of what the trade requires. Substan-
TALLY all supplies for the Alaska trade
are bought here because it Is the best
place to buy and the universal port of
departure for Nome
That the Tacoma Ledger should not
like this Is natural enough, though as
foolish as if New Bedford were to COM
plain because her trade does not equal
that of New York. That 1t should not
tell the truth about it is lamentable and
also silly, since it merely advertises to
all the world commercial failure and in
significance. The Post-Intelligencer has
dealt already with the falsehood re-
ferred to. The price lists OF merchants
in the two cities may be examined by
anyone who thinks it worth while.
Thousands of shrewd men did so before
buying, and then made their purchases
in Seattle. They found this market
vastly superior in prices, in qualities and
in assortment. A manufactured news
paper table. with not a particle Of evil
dence. behind it. Is not worth anybody's
serious attention and will be treated
accordingly. 1t Is an old gag.
