Many reasons have been put forward by writers at Speakers in Japan for the en ormous difference in the reception given by the financial world to the two loans. Some writers blame the Japanese Government for its-wart of skill and good management. Some attribute the failure to the inopportune, ness of the time at which the loan tas put upon the market. Mr. Diosy lays the entire responsibility on the Japanese people and attributes the financial failure to their want of personal honesty and fair dealing in the daily life of trade and commerce: The Chuo Shini bin advances another and, in our humble opin. on, the more probable oneRussian hostility to Japan, Russian dread at the rapid growth and expansion of the Japanese army and navy, Kussian influence exercised through the ROTHSCHULES, who, on their own account, had a crow to pluck with Japan for not then or to their protgees."

AN APPEÁL..
Apart from Russian influence unscrupu. lously exercised we can see no reason why the Japanese loan should not have been at least as successful as the Chinese Japan is a strong, compact, densely peopled and well-governed state, advancing rapidly in the paths of civilization. It is agricultural and manufacturing..
Its people are most enterprising. Its debt is, for such a state, trivial. Its financial position is sound. China, is as certainly falling to ruin as Japan is progressing and improving The Chinese govemment is hopelessly corrupt. Its finances wholly disorganized. Its debt, though comparatively small in amount, is as great as it can bear,
no unfavourable influences had been brought to hear, Japan's position in the money market should be ten times, a hundred times more assured and that of China, Japan may well

The polit on the war as a purely commercial speculation was about 100 million yen, as the indemnity demanded from and paid by China exceeded the total expenditure by about that but The gain from a political point of view was incalculable, as Japan as the first result of the yar sprung at once into the position of a power of the second order, to be seriously reckoned with throughout the East.
