This import duty, which is another factor keeping up the price of the native grown article, was first levied to conciliate the agricultural interests, Keeps the feet and armpits and, although it has been assailed many times as a picce of bad political economy, no Government has yet seen its way to cool and sweet in the warmest bolish it. Even at this time, when its abolition would have been expected as the first step towards dealing with the problem of cheapening the food-supply, the Japancao Government has preferred to take a roundabout course. This con- sists in living, the price of foreign rice and guaranteeing certain rice-brokers ugainst all loss in the importation of certain specified quantities. This prac tically means that foreign rice has become ¤ Government monopoly, that it can only be sold at a fixed price, and that the State is boring the loss between the price at which the rice is bought and that at which it is sold. The economics of this procedure are doubtful ; ita prae. tical utility remains to be seen. The loss to the Government is considerable nech more than the import duty and is likely to increase, since the fact that the Japanese Government is in the market for foreign rice has already caused an
