The entire MONIED POWER and the

Disguise this matter as you may, this Is
the plain state of the case. Through the

the Government. The Secretary of the

To show the madness of the Govern.

from the Treasury Reports Of the last four
years. Our imports and exports of mcr

as follows:

During this period then, we have impor-

amount of Sl28726,456 This would
leave us largely indebted to foreign coun

That man who hath anything in the

PARIS, March ~. The Courier Fran
Gals presents some considerations on tho
presen, commercial crisis. The number
OF failures 10 Paris since the commence,
ment Of 1887 has b en- four times as great
as during the corresponding period Of last
year. The markets for the sale of provls.
ions are glntled; purchasers are scarce in
The great provision marrs of Sceaux and
Poissy. Yet the mania for speculation,
which has proved so injurious in England
and America. had not made its appearance
among US. The harvest has been abun
dant. The real cause of this distress must
be sought for IN the moral position of the
country, aud IN the want Of confidence and
public security The same torpor which
Government had sought to instI into the
minds of men, has communicated itself 10
their physical energies; and the a'erial
world has re-echoed and Reproduced the
sentiment which pervades the political
system. Gloom and dependency have
hence inslnualed themselves throughout
the whole frame. work of society.

THE CROPS We entirely coincide with
the Richmond Wing in the subjoined re-
marks. We dislike this constant forebo-
dlngs Of evil IN regard to the growing crop,
and may observe that the glc omy anticipa.
tons, so regularly INDUCED in about this
time OF the year. have not been verified BY
after results more than once or twice in
score of years. The exceptions in this
case as in others. must be held to prove
The rule ; and we shall therefore look con-
fidently, maugre these prophets Of evil, for
something like fair average crop, at the
coming harvest.
Papers in various sections (snys the
Whig) are talking about The gloomy pros
pec's for wheat crop. We suspect, the
prospect is far from cheering. but ,hi.
crooking does no good; we doubt whether
II will add one grain to the crop. Besides,
it Is in bad taste for every year since ouf
recollection. the same melancholy forebo.
dngs have been INDUCED. And in many
instances. we know to tho surprise Of every
one, the crops have proved largely over
The average. Nothing is more uncertain
than spcculatons at this season about The
wheat crops; for The prospect may be
gloomy in the extreme now, and three
months of good weather may produce
total revolution. We hope such may the
case this year.
