Several large American exporting firms recently have been pressing a vigorous campaingn in Japan with the hope of gaining a foothold for an ex tensive trade as soon as the ill effects of the war are overcome. It is ex pected that Japan will take great strides 'in manufacturing, and it must have mafihinery to work with. For eight years we have been con suming not only absolutely but rela tively more spirits than the year bo fore. The lowest consumption of 1.01 gallons per capita was reached in 1896. Since that linte the consumption has steadily mounted until the latest fig ures show 1.48 gallons, an increase of 46 per cent. The consumption of beer in the meantime has increased only 18 per cent. A movement is on foot in Norway, backed by foreign capitalists, partic ularly Americans, to utilize every par ticle of water now going to waste over falls and in rivers for generating electricity to operate the iron and copper mines. Engineers are now in the hills making surveys, and capital is getting ready for the call that is sure to come just, as soou as the pre liminary work is completed. Consul Anderson, ol: Amoy, China, believes that the use of flour will rap idly increase in China; that the salo of meats will be considerable among the foreign population of China; that there is a growing demand for Amer ican fruits in the coast ports, also American dried fruits, which in creased 150 per cent, in 1904 over 1903; that China's demand for ma chinery is gradually coming and wili transform that country. According to the international post bureau, taking all the post-offices of ihe world, the United States shows the heaviest loss front the management of its postal affairs, and Great Britain the largest profit. Nineteen hundred and three is the last year for which figures for comparison are available, ami for that year we ran behind $4,- 329,000, while Great Britain showed a net profit of $22,000,000, and Russia, Germany and France each about $14,- 000,000. Scnorita Godoy looks so much like Miss Roosevelt that not more than half the people of Washington, and comparatively few strangers, can tell the twain apart. Senorita Godoy is the debutante daughter of the Mexican minister. At the last white house reception the Mexican girl appeared, and all the evening she was followed, remarked upon and stared at in a semi-polite way by the thronging mul titude, which thought she was thy president's daughter. The report has been tent out from St. Petersburg that statistics showing Russia's imports and exports for 1905 indicate a balance, or excees of ex ports, of $232,464,500, the largest within the last five years. The bal ance for 1901 was only $175,641,000, and tor 1903 $159,755,000.

BRYAN'S CHANCING VIEWS. Resigns College Trusteeship Because of "Trust Magnate" Money. William Jennings Bryan paused at Hong-Kong long enough to resign as a trustee of Illinois college. Ilia avowed reason is that he is unwilling to serve a college which accepts gifts from Andrew Carnegie or other "trust magnates." The fact that Mr. Bryan was made a trustee of Illinois college, as its most conspicuous graduate and for the reasons for which conspicuous men are usually chosen to such posts, sug gests another reason for his recogni tion, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. It suggests that .Mr. Bryan was unwilling to do for the college what the college expected him to do for it. However, it is surprising that any one should have expected Mr. Bryan to be a successful college trustee. He must always join in the clamor of the moment. So he could not consistently take money for his college from those who have it. That threw him back upon the problem of getting money from those who have it not. Mr. Bryan gave it up and resigned. Having abolished the devices of primogeniture and entail, by which their European ancestors enabled a man who had accumulated a fortune to hold it together after his death, the American people logically accepted the necessary consequences, that every for tune accumulated must somehow bo dissipated. The only question was how the scat tering should be effected. American common sense long ago decided that it was better to have a fort tine dissipated by the owner in benevolence rather than by his heirs in luxury. Mr. Bryan, however, apparently has differ ent views. It is refreshing to observe, however, that Illinois college prefers Mr. Car negie's endowment to Mr. Bryan's kind words. UNFAIRNESS AND DECEIT. "Tariff Reformers" Cannot Be Hon est in Presenting Their Case. President Roosevelt has discovered that it is unsafe to express an opin ion on the tariff in the presence of a bunch of "tariff reformers." He has been misquoted by some of the Boston brand and in a very vigorous manner has declared that they misrepresented and distorted the facts, says the Tren ton Gazette. As a rule, no "tariff reformer" ex acts to be honest in presenting his case. He cannot be because to be gin with he is not for reform at all. He is a free trader, pure and simple, no matter whether he talks free raw material or foreign markets. The reformer who demands free hides and taxed shoes knows that if he should succeed in causing such dis crimination the entire fabric of protec tion would go down as an inconsistency; or that if his pleas for reciprocity with Canada, through the removal of protection from the products of the western farmer in order to open the Canadian market to the manufacturer of the east were established, the west would retaliate by removing protec tion from the manufacturer, which wotild result in free trade. The "tariff reformer" always moves along the hedge of deception and un fairness ever since the days of John Cobden. It is his nature to do so, and the president has learned the les son well —so well, indeed, that the tariff reformer who hereafter has an audience with him will have some hard questions put to him which he will have to answer to his own dis comfiture, as was the case a few days ago when Gov. Doug'as tried, and his delegation was forced to say that it wanted free hides but not free shoes. Danger in Menace. It is realized that a reopening of the whole tariff question would provide an opportunity for the exploiting of the vagaries of free trade and other fiscal theories; that it would precipi tate a conflict between local industries and interests the outcome of which could only be another compromise; and worse than all, it would disturb the business of the entire country, halt the march of prosperity by engendering distrust and uncertainty, and work untold harm to American labor. Capital is sensitive and even the menace of a general re vision of the tariff would cause almost as much disturbance as would a revision itself. —Providence News. FTThe national deficit, the past seven months, despite the enormous cost of running our much socialized govern ment, was but $7,000,00(1, and by econo my the present congress can easily change the deficit Into a surplus. The income of the Dingley tariff is amazing ly high. The past six months the gold product of this country has been in creased about $6,000,(100, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year.

DANGEROUS TO FOOL WITH Tariff - Scuttling Democrats Have Something That May Blov. - Them Up. Th > difficulty which tlie Democrats find in getting together on policies which will unite their party through out the nation is amusingly exempli- ; fled ui many ways. The most recent ' display of family disagreement, says the 'troy Times, has been the falling out over the unprecedented and un patriotic if not unconstitutional effort to turn the matter of ratifying treaties with other nations into a partisan question. Before the Democrats in the United Stales senate get through with this !ow they bid fair to be wider apart than ever. And of course the ill-feel ing it will create is certain to extend to th" party throughout the country. The l'ac-ts furnish another illustration of Democratic inability to agree, and demonstrate anew that fatal weakness so graphically portrayed by President Grant when he alluded to the unfailing ! propensity of the Democratic party to do the wrong thing. When the leaders and organs of the party cannot think of anything else to fall back upon as a proposition for union they take up the tariff. They are at it just now, apparently forgetful of the evil fate that has overtaken the Democracy when it has "monkeyed" i with that subject. In the midst of abounding national prosperity, and with the government receipts giving their own refutation to Democratic as- j sertions that the Dingley law is a de- ! ficit-maker, there is a demand from many Democratic quarters that, the tariff be made the principal issue in ! the coming campaigns, and that efforts j be niHde to unite the party with this as a rallying cry. And they are seeking to employ the old tricks. They depre cate the term free trade as applied to the particular brand of political econo my which they favor, and at the same time arraign the present tariff, of Re publican origin and enactment, as op- j pressive in its exactions and prohibit- j ive in its effects. Of course it is only necessary to , point to the enormous development in our foreign trade, with, imports swollen \ to unprecedented figures, to indicate ! the absurdity of the charge that the 1 Dingley law is either oppressive or i prohibitory. But an analysis of its operations effectually disposes of other contentions which are put forth to show the need for a radical change, j For instance, there have been weari some iteration and reiteration of the charge that all rates in the present law are too high and some of them utterly unwarranted. The official records show j that the average duty collected is little if any higher than it was:so years ago, j when a law much less protective was j in operation. In fact, it is less than for one year at least under the Demo- j cratie Gorman-Wilson law. The dif- ! ferer.ee is that the duties are better j adjusted. More than half of our im- ! ports come in free of duty, which is ' libera' treatment of foreigners and a larger proportion than was shown un der the Democratic law. But with the Dingley statute, in force the favored imports are not those which would dangerously compete with the home articles. These have to pay for the privilege of getting in and entering 1 into competition with American goods : in the domestic market, which is in j accord with the sound and wholesome Republican economic policy. The Democratic gentlemen who are j trying to get their party committed to j tariff-scuttling are entirely welcome to play that game as long as it pleases ! them. But it is only an act of friend ship to warn them that it is a good j deal like fooling with dynamite. The plaything is likely Jo "go off" with a bang and leave the party more sadly wrecked than before. CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

Mary Dlmmlck of Washington tells How Lydta K. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound Made Her Well. It is with great pleasure we publish j the following letters, as they eonvine- ! ingly prove the claim we have so many times made in our columns that Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., is fully quali fied to give helpful advice to sick women. Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters. Her first letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkliam:— "I have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated j from painful periods—tho pains wereexcruci- [ ating, with inflammation and ulceration of the female organs. The doctor says I must have an operation or I cannot live. Ido not want to submit to an operation if I can possibly avoid it. J'li-ase help me."—Mrs. Mary Dinimick, Washington, D. C. Iler second letter ; Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— " You will remember my condition when I ■ last wrote you, and that the doctor said I must have an operation or I could not live. J I received your kind letter and followed your ad vice very carefully and am now entirely ! well. As mv case was so serious it seems a miracle that lam cured. I know that I owe j not only my health but my life to Lydia E. ! Pinkhaurs Vegetable Compound and to your advice. I can walk miles without an acne or . a pain, and I wish every suffering woman would read this letter anil realize what you can do for them." —Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 50th and East Capitol Streets, Washington, D. C. llow easy it.was for Mrs. Dimmick to write to Mrs. Pinkliam at Lynn, Mass., and how little it cost her—a two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply 1 As Mrs. Dimmick says—itsaved her life. ! Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands 1 of just such letters as the above, and offers ailing women helpful advice. HINTS TO ACCOUNTANTS. Add it just once more. Better think about it at the time; j some think about it at the end of the , month. x Look for the exact amount, of your error; you possibly overlooked it in posting. Have jou any systematic way of ! checking' Check as you post; it's ' easier and quicker. Divide it by two and look for a debit on the credit side, or for a credit on the debit side. If you make an error, carefully rule a line through it with red ink; then write the correction above it. Remember that the books are firm ! property, and you are at liberty to re veal no secrets they may contain. Be sure to put the books in the vault each night; you will never real ize the 'value of this precaution until you've hac a fire. Study the heeds of the business; plan special rulings to facilitate the | handling of the business. Do not 1 make radical changes at a time. Don't be in a hurry to suggest new methods to the senior member of the j firm. He is likely to think he knows more about his business than you do. How about your writing? And your English? And your spelling? Or do you know nothing but bookkeeping? If you do not, jou'll never be the manager, you'll always be the book keeper. Solid Soup.

Sufferers from ailments that have af- j flieted in regular succession one genera- j tion after another of their family are, as a rule, inclined to submit to them as in evitable. The case which follows proves that such hereditary difficulties are not ; beyond tho reach of curative forces and j should inspire hopefulness and a rcadi- I uess to try remedies that have effected signal cures, such as that which is here j given. Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408 East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas, , gives the following account of her ail- i rnolit and licr euro : "For two years I suffered from a trying ; nervousness in my lower limbs from my 1 knees down, ns my mother and my | grandmother had suffered before mo. ' The situation was for many years ac- j ceptcd as unavoidable because lieredi- J tary. But about, two years ago.wlien my \ son was realizing benefit from the use of j Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I thought there might possibly be some good in them f<c mo. My trouble had then become so serious as to make it difficult for me to 1 sleep. I often had to walk the floor iu restlessness the whole night. After tak ing some six boxes the twitching disap peared and I ceased to nso tho remedy, i 1 evidently stopped a little too soon fur nervousness cnnie back after n month or so and I Used the pills again for a Miort time.
