A growing disposition is reported among the statesmen of China to adopt the gold standard, and there is reason to believe that that government will shortly follow in ihe steps of Japan, and lay aside the silver standard, under which it Dow suffers such inconveniences. ’“Secretary Bliss has evidently carried his business habits with him to the Interior Department. He has succeeded in getting down the estimates of Ids subordinates for the next fiscal year over $9,000,000. This is an effective way every time of fighting a deficit —New York Commercial Advertiser. That self-appointed ‘commission” of silver men who went to Japan in Augnst to find out the real cause of the adoption of the gold standard by that country doesn’t seem to be in any hurry about reporting. Can it be possible that the Japanese gold-standard statesmen have converted them? Or did they find the facts against them?

The English statistician Mulhall has disappointed the free-traders by pointing out the fact that the exportations of the United States have increased three times as fast as the population during the pro-tective-tariff period. Mr. Mulhall shows in a recently published article that while the increase in population in the past twenty years has been 58 per cent., the increase in the value of exportations has been 175 per cent. Railroad earnings in August, September, October and November have shown a large gain in pearly every case over the corresponding . months of last year. The increase in October earnings was about $5,090,000 over that of last year, while those of August and September were even larger, thus justifying the attitude of the great army of railroad employees who last year cast their votes with the party of ' sound money and protection, irrespective of what their former party relations had been.

The Democratic statesmen who were laughing in their sleeves during the consideration of the Dingley law over the fact that a dozen or more countries had threatened to retaliate by excluding our products from their ports in case this country again adopted a high tariff against their products laugh no longer. An examination of the books of Ih3 Treasury Department shows that out exports to those countries in Ihe first two months of the Dingley la v were far in excess of our exporta! 'ons to those same countries in the corresponding two months of last year under the Wilson law, thus justifying the Republicans in their belief that the threats of retaliation were groundless.
