THE DEMONSTRATIONS it has

THE Observation-Disclosures it has
been asserted that whatever the Gov
erment stamps a. money is money"
and, as a valuable exchange says. the
declaration has been used rs a text for
any number of speeches in Congress
during the last two months, there is
smother view of the financial affairs of
the country which is not quite SO as
surfing. The Government has now
about SS0o,0OO of paper in circulation
which it has stamped as money. When
Congress. a few months ago. began 10
discuss finances, gold and paper had
come within six per cent. of meeting.
Paper currency is now about fourteen
per cent. below the gold standard.
Thus, within five months. there has
been a depreciation of paper amount
ing TO about eight per cent. which, APP
piled to $500. 900 of paper, shows a de-
probation of S64.0oo.OG. That is the
dead loss TO the country within five
months, on paper which the Govern
ment stamps Is money. The conf
mercial world is certainly putting gold
into n scale and this paper into the
other, and declaring the difference. To-
day it declares that the difference is the
sum Of S64,OOO.OO

FRANCE is troubled just now with
the discussion of a nice question. The
Chinese museum, a valuable and
unique collection made by the French
army in the China war, was presented
on their return to the Empress Eu-
genie. The query now is, was the
present made to the oma or the SOW
ereign? is the property private or
public? The Empress was exceedingly
generous to the troops employed in
China, sending them large quantities
of lint. brandy, cigars, and other com
forts, and paying for them out of her
own funds. Her friends now claim
that the Chinese knick-knacks were
given as a token of gratitude to tie
generous IN On the other hand,
the commission holds that an army
could make such a present only to the
sovereign. and, the sovereign being de-
posed, it belongs TO the country. The
gallantry of the French will incline
item to adjudss the present to the
widowed and crownless Eugenie.
