Immediately after election gold began
to pour into the United States treasury
at Washington and into the subtrens-
cries elsewhere. The government gold
rcservo quickly rose to over $120,000,.
000. So much was offered that the sec:
bad day following election the mistress»
dry at New York was obliged to an-
nounce itself so far behind in the ox-
changc of notes for gold that it had to
stop receiving the yellow coins till it
nought up. At the same time gold was
freely offered to the banks in deposits,
and some of it came into circulation.
Some of the principul bunks of the coun-
tiou flnnlly expressed their willingness
to payout gold in exchange for notes as
readily as to pay out notes in exchange
for gold. This is what a recent financial
writer calls the banks' resumption of
specie payments.
Now where was this gold money all
the time? The answer is that it find
been boarded by both banks’li‘ll‘d‘privnio
owners. It had been in safety malls
and other places of security. Some peo-
ple bad boarded it in anticipation of the
election of Bryan, thinking it would
then go to u premium and that they
would realize handsomely on it. Others
boarded it because they clung to it des-
perately in the four that all their other
property would be destroyed or become
vuluelcss or someihiug, they hardly
know what.
The scarcity of gold for export and
for paying customs duties begun in this
country in 1892. The banks commenced
the thing. They refused to lot the yellow
metal go to their customers for payment
of duties on goods imported. The ous-
tumors bud then to apply to the United
States treasury, which paid out and out
from its store fill that store ran below
$50,000,000. Then the government bor-
rowed gold and repeated the operation
when tho supply run low a second time.
The gold flint came to this country by
the million before the election was im-
ported partly for purposes of boarding.

In one of my conversations with the
prime minister be observed to me: I‘ll is
unfortunate for us that we have no pa-
per like your leading morning journals,
and what is even more unfortunate is
that We have no public opinion in con-
lrolliug our press as you have. But if
wish to write upon the journalism of
Japan you should go and see my friend
Captain Brinkley. the editor of The
Japan Daily Mail. No one can give you
better information on the subject than
he can."
To Captain Brinkley, therefore, I
want. All he is entering upon his thir-
tieth year of residence in Japan. in
which country he began as a teacher of
strategy and mathematics in the Naval
college, which he quit, after ten years
of hard work, to become the editor of
21m important semiofilciul English paper
which he conducts with great ability
end on original lines, and us he is inti-
mately connected in many ways with .
the land of his adoption, he, better than ‘
any one else, was qualified to give me
the information I sought.
“The increase in Japanese journal-
ism," be. said, “is marvelous, but I
four the improvement is rather in quan-
tity than in, quality. When I first came
here, 30 years ago, there were not more
than 20 papers in the whole country
and they of the most wretched descrip~
lion. Now we have 802 newspapers and.
magazines. with a total yearly circula-
tion of 278,157,421 copies, Here in To
kyo uloue we have 23, dailies, with an
annual circulation of 134.804 729, and
b0 magazines, issuing 4,865,999 copies
yearly. The chief dailies are the Nichi

-—wbich ought to interest you specml-
ly, ” he added with a smile. and the Jiji
Shimpo, which is edited by Fukuzuwn,
one of thc finest men in Japan today.
He also keeps a large school, in which
have been educated many of our lead-
ing statesmen. These, two papers hove a
daily circulation of 40,000 each and are
“The history of modern Japanese
journalism is as follows: An English-
man of the name. of Black first. started
juumulism in Japan in 1867, and his
paper, printed in Japanese in Yokohama,
wus called The Japan Daily News. At
that period, when fcudulism was still
powerful, anything like our journalistic
criticism was very shocking to tho Jup-
nurse, and. indeed. it was actually dan-
gerousioindulgcin it. His paper, there‘
fore, cmno as a revolution to the sub-
missive unfivcs. But when they become
awakened by it to what u power a paper
might attain, they suw‘how unwise it
would be to allow u foreigner to have
such control of tho vcruucnlar press on
Block possessed. Then a very singular
thing happened They had no power to
interfere, owing to the cxtrnterriioriul
jurisdiction under which Englishmen
existed in those days; so they went to
our then minister, Sir Hurry Purkos, it
most resolute nphoidor of British rights
in Japan. But he was it just man, and
he saw how unfair as power of interfer-
ing in the domestic affairs of Japan
Black possessed, uud so he in turn om-
ploycd a curious power, which our min-
isters can employ in time of emergency,
and be ironed an ordinance having tho
effect of low, in which he forbade any
foreigner to publish it paper in Japanese.
There was is tremendous foreign outcry ‘
against this. and Black became a martyr
for u bricf time.
“Then was published the first paper
under Jupnncso control, which is now
the leading paper in Japan, the Nichi
Niciii Shimlmn. It was extraordinary
to note the rapidity with which the
anuncsc took to newspaper reading.
They were just emerging from their in-
tollct-tunl prismifiu which the Tokugawa
regents, or tycoons. had striveu to stifle
all cuterprisc, u tyranny during which
for 800 yours they had been forbidden to
build ships or to road certain books, and
in which much libcriy of thought and
action hud been denied them. But after ‘
the rostorution in 1867 came the grant
rcuction, Mill us soon us this paper had
succeeded numbers of others appeared.
At first they wore colorless, being sim-
ply n reflection of the old literary lu-
ntincts of the country, which had been
borrowed from China. They were ridic-
ulouslydidactio and stillcd. Thorn won
grout use of metaphor, discussion of ab-
sirnct questions. They were classical
und utterly out of touch with the fool-
ings of the people. Then, in 1878, poli‘
tics suddenly came on the scene and gel-
vuuizcd the pupcru into life at once. "
“Are their printing arrangements
good," I naked, “utld do they go in ex-
tousively for advertisement?"
"Oh, you. They have many of the mod-
ern improvements, but you must remcm.
