HOW IT WORKS.
An illustration of how the foreign
manufacturers are favored by the pres
ent tariff luw la furnished by a slate
ment of the United States consul at
Bradford, England, showing tlie value of
dec.ared exports irom tnat consular uls
trlet to the United States during tne
month of May, 1694 and 15. The Brad

cf tne statement It Is suown I. .at the'rt
was an enormous Increase In the exports
of worsted coatings, stuff goods, woolen
and cotton goods, worsted, mohair nnd
rn.lt ya.ns and other articles whicn coma
Into direct competition with American
manufacturers. VVhilo the trade of this
one manufacturing district In Bng.ainl
wlcn tne United Stutes has increased WW
per cent in a single year, that of some
other districts has undoubtedly grown to
liedhy, If not quite, as great an extent,
and this Is the way tho Democratic tariff
rolicy works for the benefit of the manu
facturers of our greatest commercial
ilval. No wonder the London board of
trade extended to Mr. Wilson the ex
traordinary compliment of a banquet at
which the Democratic policy was ,auded
and the hope earnestly expressed that
that party would long continue In con
trol or tne government. It will be re
membered that on that occasion Air. Wll
son advised his entertainers to look out
for their markets, because under the
new tariff the American manufacturer
was going to make an effort to capture
them, but this warning did not disturb
the equanimity of the shrewd British
business men there assembled, who well
knew what the Democratic policy meant
for them. As yet the American munu
fncturer has not captured any foreign
market nor Is there any proBpegt of his
doing so, but the British manufacturers
are realising all the advantages the)
hoped for from the new tariff. Tho Brad
ford statistics furnish an Instructive ob
ject lesson for those who are Interested
In the we.'fare of American Industries and
American labor.
The commercial Importance of Japan,
now that she is becoming to be more
wldoly rocognised than before, is likely
to become overestimated In some uJitr
ters, while In others the tendency will
be to underrate It. The statistics of
Japanese trade, 'however, furnish a sur
prising record of advance, and one which
will not be easily discounted oven
among the moat prosperous nations. From
18S1 to ISM her output of textiles In
creased from $5,000,000 to J35.000.000, or
sevenfold In six years. Tito export.! of
Japanese products seven years sgo
amounted to about JSj.Wj.ooo, but In XK
this had increased to $75,000,000. or 40
per cent. The activity In si.k manufac
ture has been sharply felt for some time
by European manufacturers. These facts
are Interesting n themselves, and they
are eapeolally valuable as a basis on
which to form a definite conception of
Japanese commerclul probabilities.
The committee on sound money of the
New York Hanker' association put the
issue very forcibly in their report, that
the banker of the state of New York,
"being Indebted to the people to tho ex
tent of $0,000.000 In the form of deposits
and $193,000,000 In the form of capita,
and surplus, declare ourselves In favor
of honest money," and. of "a currency
good and stable, based on the highest
standard known to the sisterhood of na
tions." It Is curious how many people
seem to think that sound money i In
the interest of th 1i,U iriflsll-n
somehow In the Interest of "the people."
The hunk w hich are supposed to repre
sent the "creditor class," are the debtors
of their dopositcrs. Actually, a bank 1
an association of depositors for mutual
accommodation, the money ot thoie who
have more than they need being loaned
cut to those who have less. The stock
holders, wrno furnish the capital for car
rying on the business are paid by the
profits; but so far as tho corporation Is
distinct from the body of depositors, it
Is largely their debtor. Thus tho effe; -.
of "cheap money" wou'.d be to enable
the bank? to pay their depositors in a
depreciated currency and divide the bal
ance among the stockholders. Host of
the gold In the counrty, except that In
the United States treasury, is held by the
banks as a reserve lor the protection
of their depositors. If they could pay
their depositors in silver they could
afford to retire from business on the
profits. And they would have to retire,
because nobody woufd ever again trust
a bank that did such a . thing. And
nobody would trust a nation that pro
posed that debts contracted on a basis
of one hundred cents to the dollar should
be paid in dollars of fifty cents.
Another striking proot ..: business Im
provement Is to bo seen In the reports
of the postal service. During the quarter
ending with July, the receipts of the
twenty largest post offices rose to J6.794,-
000, a gain of MO,000, or more than 7 per
cent, and in the next ten cities In point
of receipts there was a gain of $50,000.
Such figures Imply activity in trade and
a general feeling of encouragement.
During July the traffic passing through
the Sault Ste. Msrie canal was 2,477,000
tons, an Increase of 157,000 tons over that
of the corresponding month of last year.
tne tonnage for six months Is 50 per
cent more than that of the Suez Canal
for twelve months. This shows the ex
tont and Importance of the commerce of
tho great lakes, which Is constantly In
creasing.
ino Importation of shoddy has In
creased over 1CO0 per cent in the last
seven months. A full explanation of what
this b.ioddy Is and what becomes of It

i'ne new state bank is .expected to con

it la to uccomp.i. h this regulation by
a blnip.e, careful and provident discount
po.lcy, and Its powers are limited. The
circulation privilege will be surrendered
jy tno cuntonul tuid .lolnt-stock bunks to
me state bui.k. A large part of Its busl
.itss will consist in redlscountlug the
bl.ls recelvab.e of tho other banks. In
this way tho latter will at all times
be able to secure a supply of paper
.iioney, Issued by the state bank, to
jurry on their business.
This system nilis'ht prove vuluable In
ine United tSates. It would Imply the
creation of a iurge central bank with
tho privilege of Usulng all the notes of
the country. Its business would be con-
ned to supplying currency to a.i the
other banks, upon tho presentation or
oills recelvublo for discount. The charge
.'or the rediscount would be nominal, not
sufficient to- raise the rate of interest
.tjupreclably and yet u'lTording a fair
profit upon the Issue of tno circulation.
The ory of monopoly would no doubt be
raised against such a system, but it
vvould nevertheless be ono having great
advantages. A state or national bank
requiring currency could, by depositing
tot.'ls receivable secure what was nects
sary to carry on Its business, tho aggro

estrlcted to a safe promo o-. l'i its

THE BENEFITS OF HARD TIlIIiB,
Mr. Edward Atkinson In the September
Forum.
The benefit of the recent hard times
has been to expose the iniquity of many
undertakings of the second and third
class. Whether the warning will last be
yond a few years Is doubtful. In each
generation will be found a body of men
of a plausible and to some extent able
type whose moral sense is obtuse, and
who have no sense of wrong In promot
ing these speculative patent bubbles or
Inflated "Industrials," as they are called
while on the other band, each genera
tion produces Its proportion of those who
are ready to be fleeced in their effort to
make something out of nothing. Such
dupes are very apt to be the descendants
of men Who have penuriously and labor
iously piled up wealth, but whose chil
dren, "not having been brought under
the healthy stimulus of prospective neces
sity, and for whom nothing else has
been provided," lose the property with
which they have been charged. In many
cases this method of distribution works
a benefit to the community. The prop
erty passes from the hands of those who
have proved to be Incapable of making
good use of It, while they themselves
are sometimes developed Into active and
useful persons under tho pressure of
the need of working which they have
brought upon themselves In their effort to
live on profits made at the cost of other
people's losses. Hence the benefit of hard
times will presently be further developed
under this law, to the end that those who
take over to themselves the specific title
of the "iworklng people" ofthls country
will secure to their own use and enjoy
ment a larger share of an increasing
product than they ever attained before;
being already in the enjoyment of the
largest share of the most abundant pro
duct as compared to all other nations
In the' so-called civilized world. What
may be the effect of these progressive
conditions of increasing welfare upon a
country which Is now (he lightest taxed
for national purposes of any machine
using nation, the future only can tell.
WHEAT AND CLIVER.
Charies Kennett Burrow in The Spectator
On one side slept the clover.
On one side sprang the wheat.
And 1, like a lazy lover,
Knew not which seemed more sweet,
The red caps of the clover,
Or green gowns of the wheat.
The red caps of the clover.
They nodded In the heat,
And as the wind went over
With nimble, flying feet,
It tossed the CRps of clover,
And stirred the gowns of jt-hcat.
O ri"-e red caps of clover;
O dn'.nty gowns of wheat,
You tench a lazy lover
How In his lady meet
The sweetness of the clover,
The promise of tho wheut.

With a firefly for a light; ,

And here, at the end of night,
Lie their webs, so dainty and white.
