The tourists are to be seen not only in Yokohama and other seaports, but in out-of-the- way places, which they explore that they may get glimpses of the old- time Japanese life and customs. If they cannot put up at big hotels they are always able to find some place to stay, for the natives are of a hospitable nature, and have all heard of the Americans. In Yoko- we have always to Americans, and I am sure that as many as two thousand of them have lived there longer than I can remember. But there arc re- upon foreigners who want to travel over the country, and it U not everybody who can gain to do so. am sure that Japan will yet be a great resort for American tourists. Before coming to New York I had visited Europe, and the that has struck me most since I arrived here is that this country is very much like the European countries I have seen. The streets there and here are the same; the residences and business buildings are the same; so arc the manners customs, the garb, the religion, the theaters, the food and everything else. do not understand why so many Americans go to France, or German y every year, and why they do not go to some country that is different from their own.

The people are of another race; we have ancient history and many things of antiquity; we have arts that are all our own; we have a social system that has descended to us from historic times; you can go into Buddhist temples or into playhouses unlike yours; you can everywhere notice the abiding influence of our two great religions, which you call pagan; you can see novelties of every kind, all hands, a m- try which is healthy and beautiful and orderly, and which is by a people whom foreigners char- as excessive in their polite- Japan is not a second edition of Europe; it is unlike other in the world; it is a country for American tourists who change; and I think that thousands of will go every year hereafter. think that more of the usual number of Americans have traveled to Japan this year because of the revelations made during the war with China. The war has brought more fame to Japan than all the other events that have occurred since the mythological ages. It has given the world at large some edge of Japanese life and character and history. It has taught mankind that are not a country of ans or simpletons, and that we are not like the Chinese or the or any other Asiatics. It has made many intelligent Americans curious . to learn more about us. It has been j the means of attracting hundreds of Americans to the country which . owes so much to Americans. If as many Americans as have gone to Europe this summer had thought of to Japan both countries would be benefited. Besides the war, many books about Japan recently written by American and European authors have aided in creating a new interest in it. There must be very many of these books. Of all the foreigners who have ever visited my country, Mr. has the best understanding of it, He was observant when here. He is very subtle. He got into with the soul and heart of Japan.

Nickel ready for coinage costs thirty- two cents per pound and a pound produces four dollars and forty-three cents In rive-cent pieces. The average profit of on the coinage of these minor coins for the past few years has been about six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. There is a profit, and a consider- able one, in of subsidiary coin, but owing to the fact that the United States owns several ounces of bullion which was purchased at the prevailing high rate of 1890, the profit In that species of coinage is not as great as it would tie if the government should go into the open market to-day and buy silver at its market value for this purpose. There is a big demand at the treasury department for bright new coins of all denominations. Almost every request that is received from banks in various sections of the country for subsidiary coins ask that bright new ones sent. Every month the street car companies banks of the capital city turn Into the treasury large quantities of nickels, dimes and quarters, for which they receive in turn paper money of large denominations.
