WAR IND COMMERCE.

Certain journals would seem to be needlessly
puzzled by the fact that our exports to Europe
have not been increased by tho war now raging
in the heart of that continent. Have they for
gotten that our imports fell off from the hour
that our late Civil War was threatened, and did
not revive till many months afterwardY A
nation involved in struggle which taxes all
its energies ceases to import articles other than
those of prime necessity, until its stock on
hand is nearly or quite consumed. Its re-
tailers sell what they can, but buy very little,
save to fill gaps which cannot endure without
depriving them of customers. We presume all
the goods in the hands Of our merchants
North and SOuth) in July, 1862, were not half
| what they had been eighteen months before.
| That they were much reduced in quantity, no
intelligent person can doubt. Who forgets
that our Exports largely exceeded our Imports
in the early stages of that war;
France and Germany buy far less Cotton OF
us than they would at the same price had they
remained at peace. The war has paralyzed
some Of the centers of French manufacturing
industry, has deprived nearly all the manufac-
tories of both countries of many of their best
workers, and has induced nearly all manufac-
turers IN each TO work up old stocks,
replenishing them only when they must. Cot
ton has fallen steadily, and this has intensified
the tendency to buy as little of that staple as
may be. And that which we do sell is so much
lower in price than it was last year that we
seem to be exporting less when we are only
selling cheaper.
Should the war be protracted (as we trust
| it may not, o change is inevitable. The bel
| ligerents may buy more or less of our Cotton,
but our Grain and Meat, Cheese and Lard,
they must have unless they prefer to starve.
And the Fabrics, fripperies, and gewgaws, of
| which they emptied their factories and ware
houses upon us during the last three months,
fearing their destruction or loss by the chances
of war, and seeing no prospect of better markets
ahead, they cannot readily duplicate in these
times, if they would, and might not DO able
to sell us at living prices if they had them.
And, even should the war close to-mor-
row, there would Ibe vast chasms in
both German and French stocks of nearly
every American staple TO be filed forth
with, which would for some time produce q
favorable state of exchanges. If the war
goes on, our imports from those countries will
naturally fall off, while our exports are
likely to increase-But We had intended only
to expose the fallacy Of treating the rela-
ton of Exports to Imports during the first few
months of great war as an index of what
may he expected thereafter.

THE CABINET NOIR.


| What good the Provisional Government has
done by ransacbing NapoleOn's writing desk it
is not easy to see. Out of the mass of papers
that have been published from the secret archives
of the Tuileries we gather nothing that Is start
ling, and not much which will give us worse
opinion of the imperial exile than we had
already There are scandalOus stories OF Illicit
gallantries, but those are nothing new. We
are told how much the crowned adyenturer
paid his mistress in two years, and how much
the mistress did for him in paying his debts /;
we are treated to the edifying spectacle OF u
high officer of justice negotiating the rupture
of O disgraceful amour, and getting promotion
as a reward for his services we have the
correspondence of the EmperOrs paramOurs,
and we have the letters of disreputabie cOus-
ins and poor relations, one wanting money,
another wanting the privilege to shoot over
the imperial preserves, another begging leave to
marry his mistress ga lady of irreproachable
"cOnduct'O, and legitimate his children. 1t is
nasty family exhibition, which We might as
well have been spared, for it Only describes
in detail the discreditable facts which the
world knew already in gross, and exposes the
private affairs of people who, despite their
connection with the throne, are entitled to
some secret cabinet or other, if only that they
may hide their vices in it. We cannot quite
reconcile ourselves to the publication of the
Empress's letters to her husband, even though
they touch upon affairs Of state. After all, she
is wife, and good wife, and that tender
and womanly epstle written in the midst of
festivities on the Nile was full alike OF sound
counsel and true affection. "Follow out the
concessions you have made; | don't like
"oOups;" it is well enough, perhaps, that we
should know how we'll Napoleon was advised
in language like this by the woman who
shared his thr ne; but there are other words,
touching and heartfelt, in that letter, with
which the prying world has no concern, and
we cannot read them without feeling little
ashamed of ourselves.
There arc portions of the captured papers,
however, which it was a public service TO
print. Everybody knew that the Empire was
q great structure of fraud and corruption,
upheld by bribery, and served by the vilest OF
tools; but it is instructive to see the whole
machinery laid bare. What lesson II Is to
find that two such devoted instruments OF the
Tuileries as Rouher and Fould tried to
hedge at the time Of the coup fefdt, 80
that they might disavOw il In case OF failure.
and that the Emperor was fully acquainted
with their treachery, and kept the proofs of it
locked up In his drawer' How charming TO

The Herald publishes an interesting account
of an interview with Marshal BHane, which
throws great deal of light upon his negotia-
tons with Bismarck previous to the capitula-
ton of Metz, and confirms the reports that he
has never ceased to regard himself as q soldier
of Napoleon. The Marshal proposed to march
out of Metz with his army, having first pledged
himself and his men not to fight again during
tho war, and moving upon Paris to protect
the Chambers from the fury of the mob until
some solution of the situation was arrived at
Bismarck would have assented to this proposal,
but Won Moltke refused, for the reason that
Bazaino's men would desert and join tho
francs-treurs. The Republic never was pro-
claimed in Metz, and the soldiers never even
learned the names of the members of the Pro-
visional Government.

NOTING and STORING THE GRAIN CROPS.

NOTING And STORING THE GRAIN CROPS
That vigorous journal, The Chicago Tribune,
has for many months uttered warning words
against the elevator system of that city,
and now it has thundered in tones that
no longer admit OF drowsiness against
those ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain by which tho farmer bleeds
and the hagstone speculatOr fattens. The
warehouse system OF that great grain mart
appears to be rotten to the core, and the
Board of Trade. which was created that such
abuses might not escape efficient censure, seems
powerless. Every bushel Of good wheat that
goes to Chicago, no matter If the berry Is as
plump ns "a peach and the bnshel weighs over
60 pounds snifers for being in bad company.
1t is mingled with grain that Is shrveled
and ratty and sprouted; it is elevated into
great bins, where little damp grain or few
bushels that contain oats debase the whole and
reduce the price TO the standard Of the mean
est. Then in Summer these immense masses
of grain begin to heat, the bin is condemned
and sold as heated. when, upon handling, only
the top layer of 100 bushels is affected, while
the thousands and thousands that lie below and
are quite cool and sound. suffer the same fate.
The grain interest of the West does not seem
inclined to assail these abuses by front
attack, but by flank movement, which may
be quite fatal to tho commercial future or
cities that sit at ease and count their gains
secure. No individual. no city, is safe that
undertakes the power of railroads. That
potent genius, the locomotive, can unmake as
easily as it makes a great city. AS rauroad
center, Chicago has no equal, and her sagacious
merchants arc reapins the harvest OF a vigor
and foresight that has been surpassed by no
group of business men in tho country. ChI-
cago may do well to call to mind the OLD
story Of Acteon. He trained and followed his
hunting dogs so long and so far that at length,
for want Of other game, they turned gave
him chase and tore him in pieces. The spirit
of railroad enterprise and railroad monopoly,
which within generation has changed Chicago
from trading post to metropolis, IL actively
deyising tho means of taking away the
supremacy in the grain trade Of which sho IA
not found worthy. Grain-ds,1eTs and wheat

The story that Austria has entered into an
alliance with France is, of course, born of
Lombard-st She has not been in a condition,
whatever her frame of mind, to provoke the
rage of Prussia or try issues with her since
Sadowa If she dared not accept the proposals
of Napoleon when the war opened and the
power of France was yet unbrOken. what
should induce her now to tender alliance to
q helpless nation and engage in war in op-
position to the opinions and feelings of her
own peoplef 1t may be safely assumed, we
think, that Austria, which, like all other
countries, is ruled by policy and not sentiment,
has no intention of committing my such folly.
She will remain neutral, and accept Bismarck's
sharp reproval of her conduct, in suggesting
mediation, with due humility.

THE IEPFAIFRS And THEIR BACKERS.
How completely the Democratic par in this

who do not babitually read their journals can
