TRADE GAINING IN JAPAN.

Imports into Japan from the United
| States for the first time exceed those
from the United Kingdom. In the six
months ending with June, 1853, the inn
| ports into Japan from tie United
! States were 24,950, 493 yen, against 49,
| SO3, 656 from the United Kingdom. This
is the first annual or semi-snnual pc
Rod in which the imports from the
United States into Japan have ex-
ceeded those of the United Kingdom.
In 1891 the imports into Japan from the
United States were less than two mil
lion yen, against more than sixteen
millions from the United Kingdom; in
1901, from the United States little less
than seven million yen, against twenty
millions from the United Kingdom; in
1900, siXty-two million yer from the
United States, against seyeDty-one mil
lions from the United Kingdom; in 1901
and 1902, following the Increase In
the Japanese tariff, the total imports
into that country showed a consider
able reduction, and as a consequence
the imports from the United States in
1902 were but 4S652,S24 yen, against
so, 1854 ,029 yen from the United King
dom. In the six months ending with
June, 1903, the imports from the United
States were 24.95O, 49O yen, against 49,
SO3, 654 yen from the United Kingdom.
In 1881 the United State, furnished
less than six per cent of the imports
into Japan and the United Kingdom
furnished over fifty-two per cent. In
1902 the Uniteu States furnished 17.9
per cent of the total imports and the
United Kingdom 1875 per cent, while in
the six months ending with June, 1908,
the United States supplied 10 per cent
of the imports into japan and the
United Kingdom 14.3 per cent.
One cause of the reduction in imports
from the United States into Japan
since 1900 is the fact that that country
is in recent years buying more largely
of her raw cotton from India. The
total value of imports into Japan from
India has grown from less than eight
million yen in 1892 to forty-nine million
yen in 1902. and in the six months end
ing with June, 1908, was 3a69O,954 yen.
The importations of ginnedl cotton into
Japan from the United States amount
ed in 1900 to 1,112,sS4 piculs and in 1902
to 49, 500 piculs, while from India the
imports of ginned cotton in 1900 were
7S9,O73 piculs and in 1902, 1,76S,1s9
piculs. The " Tue of imports of raw
cotton from the United States in 1900
was twenty-seven million yen and in
1902 nineteen million yen, while that
from India was, in 1900. seventeen mil
lion yen, and in 1902, thiry-nine mil
lion yen.
This partial transfer of the cotton
trade of Japan from the United States
to India accounts for the fact that the
percentage which the United States
supplied Of the total imports of Japan
in 1902 and the first half of 1908 was
less than in 1900. in which year we
supplied 21.96 per cent OF the total
imports of Japan.

EXIT WALKING DELEGATE.

The walking delegate Sam. Parks,
enthusiastically thrust forward by the
local organ of treacherous Republicans
as the conqueror of the conservative
union leader, Buchanan, by whom in
fact he was ANONYMOUSLY defeated at
Kansas City, has gone back to Sing
Sing for thirty months with the pros
pect also of serving out his former
sentence.
The last instance of his successive
extortions was less productive than
some of the others, but equally inter-
esting. Parks fined the Tiffany Studio
Company five hundred dollars. The
treasurer, Schmidt asked him whether
or no the money would so to the labor
union, and received the answer: 1T
goes to Parks" But" Schmidt re-
piled, 1.-The union men will kick" The
retort was prompt and decisive: Il
have got those - muZZled, and, II
one OF them objects, we will fine him
fifty dollars and he can't get another
job in the city"
The money was paid and, the next
morning. the strikers resumed work.
These facts were all sworn to at the
trial of Parks, and We're only tritiing
instance of a system of extortion from
employers and of peculation from the
unions that he had impudently prac-
tised for years.
The intelligent and industrious wage
earners who have been thus abused
welcome revelations and convictions
that have broken the power OF the
walking delegates They propose to
control recognized unions, which will
be limited to useful ends, pursued by
lawful and honest methods, and in
fluential newspapers are prognosticat-
ing a restoration of harmony between
capital and labor that will not be long
deferred.

which broke out at Panama a fortnight
later. A famous editor once described
successful journalism as the art OF
knowing where hell would break out
next and having a reporter on the

this principle in mind when he put a

A CORRECTION.

In a recent issue of the Advertiser,

of the Advertiser that the malfeasance
charged did not occur until Mr.. Phil

1t is a matter OF doubt whether the
Elkins referred to in cablegram from
Philadelphia as having died is the
Senator or the local railroad man OF
that name. The cable message read
"Elkins dead" 1t was assumed that
the only Elkins in the country whose
eminence was such as to justify his
mention in cablegram without mi
tials, was the one meant. But recent
coast files stated that a Philadelphia

street railways was critically i'll. Very
likely he is the man who died.

NATIONAL IMMIGRATION.

| Inere are those VINO take u SdHBulne
view of the immigration problem as 1t
has been changed by the influx OF Rus
sian Poles, Hungarlans and Italian
lazzaroni. Recalling the days when
the entrance of Irish peasantry caused
grave misgivings to the Anglo Saxon
Americans and inspired the Know
Nothing movement-a phase of immi-
grafton which is now regarded as a
boon to the country-they urge that, In
the long run, we shall feel grateful
for the latest Corners. Their concrete
proposition Is that the Poles, Hun
garians and Italians will eventually
take the hue Of their surroundings and
that, in the second and third genera
tions, their racial strain will disappear
and they will have become of the
American type.
But when the Irish phase of the story
is looked into there is little about it
which serves for an example of what
may be expected of Latins and Slavs.
The Irish came, knowing English
speech and English ways. They spread
over the country doing day labor, TAX
ing UP land when the time came and
sending their children into the democ-
racy of the public schools. Especially
in the country villages they became, in
the course of the second generation,
Americans in feeling, custom and
accent. Their young men were quite
likely to marry the daughters Of
American farmers and the Irish serv-
ing girl and the Yankee farm hand
became mates. In the cities the young
work and learned ways which, whether
the girls afterward married in their
own race or another made them mothers
Of boys to whom America was all in
all. During the seventy years which
have elapsed since the first rush of
Irish came we have absorbed millions
Of them into the American body polite
and they are as ready as any other cit
izens to fight and die for their coun-
try.
But how about the low-browed. fur
tive, dark-skinned offscourings of
1ecadent races that are swarming in
now? They know neither English
speech nor ways and are not willing
TO learn them. They do not spread
over the country but form colonies in
great cities which are but the slums
If Prague and Warsaw and Naples
translated to another land. They in
.ermarry as the Jews do: their chill
lren speak no English and are among
he ones who hide away from schools.
0f America they know nothing except |

Woman suffrage does not exist in
Hawaii but the power of women at the
polls and in political campaigns is re-
markable. The manifestation is con-
fined, however to women of native
blood. They are eager politicians,
some of them even going on the stump,
and all of them exercise a peculiar in
f1uence upon their husbands, brothers
and male friends. So 1t is not trivial
circumstance that Mrs. WllcoN-a more
potent politician in many ways than
was her late husband-proposes TO or
ganize the Hawaiian women into a
Home Rule reinforcement which shall
move en- masse. If she succeeds In
doing this Mrs. Wilcox will be a power

BENEFICIAL TO MINING.

The letting out of the water in
the industrials and the publicity
given in the INSCRIPTIONS work OF
the heavy weight financial robbers
responsible for the criminal in
flation of values can only be re-
garded as beneficial in mining in
vestments.
The old cry of "wild cat'' in
connection with mining stocks is
not used SO much now. There are
some wild ones yet, but not nearly
SO many. Even the rankest wild
cat mining stocks in comparison
are tame when we read some of the
industrial frauds. Investors who
turned from mining stocks to in
dustrials have had their fill and
they are coming back again, sad
der but wiser people.
1t is gratifying that they are
wiser. Their blind avarice which
caused their losses in the indus
trials was also the cause Of giving
mining a bad name. Men gambl-
ing their money in tinselled GER
tifcates, with no knowledge of the
value these certificates represented,
and had only themselves to blame
for their losses. The demand
was responsible for the supply in
fake mining stock, the same as in
fake industrials.
There is plenty of available cap
ital for investment. 1t will, how
ever, be invested cautiously and
intelligently. So much the better
for mining. Mining offers splendid
opportunities for profitable invest
ment. The more the possibilities
are investigated the more evident
ia this fact. The clean element in
mining courts this investigation.
Intelligent investors are wanted.
The greater the intelligence dis
played the more money will be in
vested in the ground and not in
the pockets of the unscrupulously
inclined,-Ex.

Help the Farmer.

The great benefits derived by
the farmer from electric lines run
ming near their homes is greatly
under estimated by many and some
are even Indifferent as to the con-
struction of such roads because
they do not realize their impor-
lance. An eastern news paper in
speaking Of the effect of trolley
lines upon agricultural districts
truthfully says:
News from many different sec
tions of the localities served gives
interesting information as to the eff
feet upon prices and buyers of land
of the extension of trolley lines
through neighborhoods. Only
few years ago the first question
asked by buyer was, "Is your
land near pike road?" At present
the purchaser is apt to ask, GLOW
far is your place from an interurban
road?' or "How many street car
lines are there in your township"
Formerly from five to twenty-five
dollars an acre was added to the
price of farm if located on good
pike road; now fully that much
and often more is put on farm
which is passed or intersected by
a trolley line. The reason is OBJ
vious. With the pike farmers
were obliged to haul their own
produce to town or to the station
and their team often had to be
taken out of the field when theil
services there was worth 81 or more
day. Oftentimes the loads were
small, not more than a half ton
but being perishable goods it hae
to be taken just then, although thu
time of the team and the farmer
was worth more in the field. Will
the electric line passing his farm
the farmer can ship his produc'
five, ten, or twenty miles for fiv'
cents a hundred, and keep the team
busy. Added to this convenience
for himself and family in gettin,
away from home, the ride to thu
town or the station being made il
one-fourth the time it formerly re
quired to drive. These considera
tions are weighty ones with TIN
man hunting a farm or a home
and are causing brokers to lool
carefully at the trolley location o
farms before they list them.
