In a recent laano of the Japan Dally fa lt pnbllahod at Yokohama , there ap- 'peared ' an article relating to the dopreaiod 'condition ' of trade In that country. The main ciaae aialgnod for the depression la the policy of that country In regard to iU trenllM , by whloh the trade haa vlrtnally ] panned Into the control of foreigners. The complaint of the Mail la to the ( fleet that "Hie alxtoon Ireuty frlcnda of llapan hold her ai In an Iron vlco.

It provtdcR thai whatever privi lege Japan may grant to a foreign power In return for certain con- ccesloiis on the latlcr'a part ahull bo ex tended to British aubjoota without rc- { ultiug from them the aamo concotaioni. Th's ' ia certainly a jug-hanulo treaty , nnd It in hut natural lhat the Japanese ahould begin to complain concerning it. Kng land has boon the moat favored nation among the Japanese nnd they conaldcr the non-reciprocity clauao in tbo treaty ! "ono of the most wren i thai disfigured the Intorcoitrio of uniform.

It ii to bo hoped tlut thi ) country will take ad vantage of Iho opportunity , when 1 comes , to reap the full benefit of the trade with Japan. While Japan hso Iho right , uodor n Bfeolal provision , o rovlao Ila tronly with Graat Britain , and will probably attempt to do ao , yet the people of that country will not bo ] Ikoly to hnvo tholr friendship tor the Kngllah Increased by auch rovlaion at this ale day.

All thla ia largely duo to the enterprise of Americana , who have boon warmly wol 'corned and given n ready market for railway - ] way and electrical eupplloa , machinery , nnd manufactured producta of nil kinds. Tbo Japanese have had n great numbo of tholr brightest young nun educated ID the boat collogoa of the United States , who have returned to their nalive ] country and made nao of tholr knowledge , in Improving the educational facilities cf ] Jnpvi. Quito a number of their young mon have alao acquired A practical knowledge of civil engineering , railroad construction , and electrical acl-J once In America , and they are now mak ing uao of that knowledge In encouraging nud promoting public Improvements and varloua enterprises In tholr own country. The English langnago la spoken quite ex tensively in nil the largo cities , and ia1 rupldly being acquired by the people generally. Another remarkable fact ia lbn' ( ho Japanese , especially In the cities , \TO adopting the American style of dreis in every particular and are cultivating : ivll'.ed ' lublta.

The conlost over the construction ol the Denver , Colo. , public building , ID which were Involved the question of im porting of "foreign" stone from Indians and the employment of convict labot in event the contract should bo awarded to Dralnord & Co. , of Chicago , aa recom mended by Supervising Architect Boll , waa formally determined to-day b/ Sec retary Manning , ao far at least as those two laanoa are concerned. Ho decided that only Colorado atone should ba used , and that convict labor wonld not bo tolerate - ate on any government work. Never be fore In the history of the government 1ms any contract been awarded to par ties i employing contract labor , and iho proposed innovation raised a storm of Indignation throughout the country , which , reverberating throughout the corridors of the treasury department , found substantial echo nt the White houso. When Assistant Secretary Pairchlld [ declined to entertain a protest against the nao of convict labor iu a con' tract awarded the lowest bidder for con strnctlon of Iho Peoria public building , ho was not aware that the policy of the government had always been to encour age nnd clovato froa labor to the exclu sion of compuleory labor performed bj poraona Imprisoned for crime. As a mat ter of law , however , Mr. Falrchild wns ] compelled to decide that ho found au thority which permitted the department to Intervene on thla account alone , whore ] the contract had boon duty awarded nud signed. 11 sd the fact of the employ Jmcnt n of convict labor boon known prlot "to the nwnrd the contract ivould not have been approved by the eocrotary. There Is aomo feeling in the Secretary's ' ollico concerning Iho action of the supervising nrchltoct on the cjn- vlct labor qnoetion , which , It is Jaaid , ought never to hive been thruat upon thu administration In the n.ituro of anlesuo which involved such momentous public consideration. The supervising 'architect's ' oflico , following tlmo-houorod precedents , should have ollpulatod nbso- jlululy that none of Iho government contract - ( tract work ehould bo performed by con vict labor , and had this practice boon ] enforced Secretary Manning would not . bavo found It necessary to ovorrnlo hie subordinate ) oflicors. Had the litigious aud stubborn Mullet occupied the posi tion of supervising architect 111611 the ] 'question ' was raised ho wonld have de cided promptly and energetically agalnat any proposition which brought honsat labor Into competition with convict labor. Whatever may bo ellegod against Mr. BInllott , ho was always the friend of honoat labor. As matters now stand , the convict labor question has been agl tatod sufficiently in this all'ilr to make trouble for the administration nt Iho ou | suing elections In Now York and Ohio.
