the Central Government should have a free hand in the importation of arms and ammunition.
In this connection the Ostasiatische Lloyd says: It seems to us that the majority of the Powers have indeed u interest in the Chinese Government being able to maintain order in its own country. It has been emphatically denied that France ever offered to assist with troops the provincial governments of the south, or that she over threatened to interfere if the insurrection in Kwangai was not im- mediately subdued. But rumours that such a course had been intended and is even now contemplated are still heard. It cannot be denied that the Governors of the southern and south-western provinces are in great fear of such a movement on STEAM TO CANTON.

Wise men,' he says, "will not neglect to observe the signs of over-trading or overproduction, or be unprepared for the 'business reaction when it comes.' But it Reems to us that while the steel manu- facturers of the United States may suffer, the chances are that producers in other 'parts of the world will largely share in the LA INTIMIDAD disastrous results. American producers will still be able, when the period of overproduc. tion comes, to dump their surplus product in any market which will accept it at mode-J. 'rato raten. We do not complain of this be
All, it after сливо,
of the point of view
but tho can producer a politic move; position of the American consumer is quite another question. It is an interesting commentary on the great fiscal discussion now engaging public attention. It is np. parent. from Mr Schwank's own showing, the British manufacturers cannot hope, in the present state of protective tarifs, to materially develop import trade to the United States; nor so long as the produc ing companies arrange matters to maintain rates so that the British firms cannot send steel at a price, plus the tariff, to underbid them; and in this connection it must bo remembered that the United States Stoer Corporation control one-half of the produc tion of steel. A greater danger than over-production, and one that may intensi- fy the competition created by the surplus stock, is the strong speculative spirit which at the moment pervades American business; and this is not entirely forgotten in the report before us, although the general manager limits his remarks to a suggestion of the evil. Our Annual Reports during the past thirty years have chronicled many fina ncial panics and visitations of hard times. Prosperous as this country is to-day and has been for several years, it is not prosperous that it can digest all the speculative schemes that are continually being offered to the credulous and unthink ing; nor is there room or excuse for business enterprises, otherwise meritorious, that are projected far in advance of the wants of the present generation.' Such abnormal speculation means overproduc- tlon, with a diminution in financial resource and a decrease in requirements; and the danger, so far as Britain is concerned, lies in the recklesssness which must follow, especially in the disposal of surplus stocks, to which our ports are always open.
What the Ladies are Wearing,

Our London correspondent wrote on the 24th ult. :-Dress for riverside use is now at the zenith of its prettiness, and its simplicity is only abandoned when the fair wearers adorn the smooth green lawns on the occasion of regattas which are now be- ing.hold week by week. There is a delight- ful freedom from conventionality on the. river, and whether you live on a houseboat, inhabit a cottage or more protentious villa, take life easily in a camp or are merely a casual visitor, the charm of the winding Thames with its many beautiful backwaters grows upon you and you are no longer seized with a desire for Continental travel or the set formality of the average seaside resort.

An Interesting Interview.
· Our readers will be interested in the following interview which a member of our staff has had with a local gentleman who has devoted much time to the study of currency systems, and who, from his in- timate knowledge of the commercial con. ditions and requirements of Hongkong, is entitled to be listened to with respect by those who give serious consideration to the currency question as it affects Hong- kong :---
THE CHINA MAIL.
Can you name any country where a Яystein the change of
currency from silver to gold or to a gold basis has dislocated trade to the detriment of that country?
It was thought by many at the time of the introduction of the guld standard into Japan that it would entirely upset the trade of the country. But this has proved fal- lacious. The same, too, was thought of India, but the trade of both countries soon
adapted itself to the change, and both countries appear to have benefited by it.
Do you believe that the adoption of the gold standard in Hongkong would increase the cost of living or the price of labour, as
has been assorted ?
I do not think that a fixed dollar would necessarily increase the cost of living or the price of labour. This I do know, that the continuous fall in the gold price of the In your opinion, asked our representa dollar has added to the cost of living and Having reached the present level, tive, do you consider it possible to establish labour a currency for Hongkong on a gold basis?

Is it possible to have a silver currency based on a gold standard ? Are there any countries at present on such a currency?
Yes. We have an example of this in Jaya, where guilders are current the same na in Holland, but I think one would find very little gold in use in Java for currency purposes. India, of course, is a more recent example of a country possessing a gold standard, but having a silver currency with very little gold current. The India Government is almost continuously minting rupees, but mints no gold.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY, This is the age of research and experiment; when all nature, so to speak, is ransacked by the scientific for the comfort and happiness of man. Science has indeedmade giant strides during the past century, and among the-by no means least important- discoveries in medicine comes that of Therapion. particulars of which will be found in another columu. This preparation is unquestionably one Medicines of the most genuine and reliable Patent : ever introduced, and has, we understand, been used Ricord, Rostan, Continental Hospitals by Jobert. Velpeau, Maisonneuve, the well-known Chassignac, and, indeed by all those who are sin such matters, including regarded as authorities ins
in
the
the celebrated Lallemand, and Roux, by whom it was some time since uniformly adopted, and that it is worthy the attention of those who require such a remedy we think there is no doubt. From the time of Aristotle downwards, a potent agent in the removal of these diseases has (like the famed phi- losopher's stone) been the object of search of some minds; and far beyond the mere hopeful, each could ever have been discovered-of post be the baser metals into gold is surely the discovery of a remedy so potent as to replenish the falling energies of the comfirmed rows in the one case, and in the other so effectually, speedily and safely to expel from the system without the Mid,
or even the knowledge, of a second party, the poisons of acquired or inherited disease in all their protean forms as to leave notaint or trace behind. Such is The New French Remedy Therapion, which may certainly rank with, if not take precedence of, many of the discoveries of our day, about which no lille ostentation and noise have been made. andtheextensive and ever-increasing demand that has been created for this medicine wherever intro- duced appears to prove that it is destined to cast into oblivion all those questionable remedies that were formerly the sole reliance of medical men. Therapion may be obtained in England, direct from the proprietor, and of the principal Chemists and Merchants throughout the Colonies, Ludia, China, Japan, &c., not even excluding such remote districts as Central Africa, the Fiji Islands, St. Helena,&c.-DiamondFieldsAdvertiser KIMBERLEY
