HOW THEY MANAGE ~ FRANCE.


1t is now four years since war was declared
between France and Germany. The period
has been marked by greater changes in the
French finances than have ever before taken
place in so short time. All these changes
are full of instruction for the people of the
United States. Some of them we have re-
ferred to before, bat we have by no means
exhausted the subject. The suspension of
specio payments both in France and the
United States was brought about in order
that the respective Governments might profit
by the substitution of paper for coin as legal
tender. The United States Government
was assisted by this means to the
amount, in round numbers, of four humid
red and twenty millions for legal
tender notes and fractional currency issued
directly by the Treasury, and three hundred
and eighty millions for bonds bought and held
by the banks in return for the privilege of
adding three hundred millions more to the ire
deemable paper circulation. We thus have
about eight hundred millions obtained by the
Treasury at the cost of a creation of over
seven hundred millions of inconvertibe
paper, deprecated at one time below fifty per
cent of its nominal value, and still quoted at
about ten per cent below par. In view of our
thirteen years experience who will have the
hardihood to say that the eight hundred mil
lions thus added to the resources of the United
States Treasury were not dearly bought 7
The entire cost of the war between France
and Germany was nearly ten milliards of
francs, or two thousand millions of dollars.
Of this sum- 1,53O OOO 600 francs, or 1906 900 OOO
were borrowed from the Bank of France. The
Government, by relieving the Bank from its
obligation to pay its notes in specie, enabled
it to make this loan. The increase in the
paper circulation of the Bank was from 49,
900 francs, or $275 900, in June, 1870 to
a maximum of about 3,0lO0O0,OOO francs,
or $G02 100000, at the end of October 1873,
when the last payment. to Germany was made
Thus we see that while the United States
Treasury took assistance to the amount
of SsO0,OOO,OO0, derived directly and in
directly from forced circulation of pa
per promises, the French Treasury took only
1906 100000. The actual increase Of the paper
circulation of the United States, after deduct
ing $500 100000 of State bank notes in crcu-
ltion before the war, Was over S5oO, 700,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1874-07-13

while the increase of the French paper was
only 1927 OOO, 900, and that but for short time.
In the one case the value of the paper almost
instantly fell to great discount and still re-
mains seriously deprecated. In the other the
discount was very slight and, in consequence
of the measures hereafter to be described,
soon disappeared completely.
But great as the difference is between the
recklessness with which the United States
made use of the dangerous cxpedent of paper
money and the prudence shown by France,
the contrast in the policy of the two nations
after the crisis in their affairs had passed Is
still more striking. Six years have gone by
since the financial position of our Government
became an easy one, and during that time
worse than nothing has been done towards the
restoration of a sound currency. The IRE
deemable paper circulation is larger than ever
If great war should again break out, the
source from which we obtained eight hundred
millions in the late contest could afford us
nothing except at the cost OF whole
sale robbery of creditors. So far as
obtaining money by substituting legal
tender promises for coin is concerned,
that resource is completely exhausted. No
honest UONelHIneHJ Couuu ItSOIJ W lt' lHo ico-
eryoir is dry, and no steps whatever have been
taken to fill it, Nothing is more important in
war than money, and in nothing are the
United States so il-provided. Very different
has been the conduct of France. The Treas
ury bonds, on which 060OO,0OO were borrowed
for war expenses, have been already reduced to
$l73,0O0,0OO, and the sum thus paid has been
used by the bank to diminish the note circu-
laiOn and increase the specie reserve. 1t has
been in every way the precise equivalent to
what should have been the action of the United
States Treasury-the retirement and destruc-
ton of greeDbacbs. The French Govern
ment issued its Treasury bonds to
the Bank of France, took the notes
of the bank in exchange, and paid
them ont for war expenses Since the settle
ment of the indemnity il has borrowed back
these notes from the people in exchange for
five per cent bonds, has returned them to the
Bank of France, and thus converted debt
which circulated as currency into five per cent
bond. The change effected is precisely that
which would be brought about by withdrawing
and destroying S13OOOO,OOO in greenbacks and
substituting five per cent bonds therefor.
The changes in the accounts of the Bank Of
France since the 1st of November, 1873, are
very great and they are all towards the state
of things which existed before the war, when
the Bank of France was the most impreSnable
organization of credit on a grand scale that
the world has yet seen. The following are
some of the figures

the simple hearted, writes: The greatest wonder

down upon many people but more especially upon
children than upon other people. Among all thea
stars saw one Of the form which have drawn
further on. This star fell into the linen smock Of
the maid-servant of the Eyrer family who lived in
the house behind Pirkheimer's. And she was 80
troubled about it that she wept and screamed; for
she feared she would die i'll consequence Of it, And
then as if one wonder brought another to his mind
he adds Beside this also saw comet in to,
heavens" There can hardly be any doubt that tho
shower of so-called crosses was meteoric and it's
plain that Ddrer found it more strange and startling
than mere comet, and more worthy of particular
mention. The drawing which he says he made Of
the star that fell into the maids bosom is not
known TO exist, though 1t may be among tha
sketches and drawings of which he left such
multitude behind him. Eleven years later, how
ever in 1914 Direr published his famous print, tho
"MeencoIia." In the background Of this design il
a landscapes bay with town, and shipping, and
distant hills, and in the sky rainbow, with

own, with this difference that it has the tail turned

this comet did Direr TO portray IN 1t the one
he saw in 1902 As for the rainbow in Dirers cop
perplate which seems an odd companion for
comet it probably is manipulating its part IN tho
medley of crude. fantastic symbolism with which
this wonderful work is crowded. Yet ali things

ordering a trial. There are reasons why he
might do 80, and these may have presented
themselves to the Governor in reviewing the
Britton case, where the accused was left
during trial with a power to intimidate wit
nesses which nearly frustrated justice. The
Mayor has immense power in the opposite
drection-to influence witnesses in his favor
and this argument alone might warrant his
suspension, particularly if there is any truth
in the charge that by political favors granted
the Legislative inquiry into the street-clean-
ing frauds was brought to an impotent con-
clnsinn.

THE CRY FOR d TREE COMMISSION

THE tKI fOb d IhEE COhhicoio-''
Encouraged by the aptitude of the National
Congress to misunderstood the conditions and
necessities of all that pertains TO the business
of tree culture, some ingenious persons
lately stepped to the front with PROPOSE
ton for -" Commission of Forestry" and
drew a bill which, with Accomplishments, was
printed at the Government office. 1t is as
remarkable document as we have ever
seen: as bulky as a modern novel, and rather
more imaginative. 1t reiterates all the old
fables as if there were no doubt OF their au-
thenticity; it states suspicious and possibilities
"a if they were settled facts; it utters the
stereotyped dicta concerning forests and rain
fall, as if there were no opposition. Nor does
this pleasant work of fiction omit the aesthetic
argument; there are breezy references to
woodland ways, calling up thoughts OF
cloves own tree, whose shade protects the
"plains, whose head the hills commando" of
"dark, gnarled, centennial cakes, whose
"acornes were our foode before the Cerese
"seede of mortal man was knowne." and of
"Pan's rustical satyrs and sylvans all, dryads
"and we that up the mountains be, and we
"beneath in meadow or in howery heath 1t
is not perhaps III the pllant ana klnuIy nature
of our average representative to resist such
sweet persuasion, and under its witchery we
NAV one day expect to hear him yielding a
dreamy assent. And then we shall have an
other Commissioner, probably like unto him
who sheds pumpkin seeds and peanuts and
pamphlets on the just and the unjust; and we
shall have another Bureau like unto the
pu,yv ona with free and furnished aDart-
ments in the upper stories for the Commits
sioner and his family, and garden for his
early greens, and body-servant to black his
boots, and a landaulet to carry the new
official over the country, planting and protect
ing trees at cost to the Government Of
barely $500 each. But we hope that Congress
will break away from this Delilah, who, we
feel sure, has an eye to the Treasury locks.
Not that we fail to favor the extension and
protection Of our Woodlands. No pan Vas

Gov. Dix's message to Mayor Havemeyer is
not long, and the Mayor himself does not
think 1t amounts to much. 1t appears about
as difficult to convince the Mayor that this Is
something of a shower after all. as it was to
induce Tweed to come to similar conclusion
in 1871, or to convert that more ancient char
acter who is popularity suppCs ID to have asked
passage in the ark at damp season, and
whose subsequent obstinacy and indifference
to results lead to the suggestion that he was
probably the Reform Mayor of some ante
diuvian SodOm or GOmOrrah. Mr.. Havemcyer
with amusing complacency informed re-
porter yesterday that he should take his time
to answer the charges but later added that
his answer would be ready some time this
week. When this shall have been done the
issue before the Governor will be joined and
the charges dismissed or trial ordered. 1t
is lust possible, in view of the fact that the
evidence has been largely made public, that
the Governor may act upon the charges and
answer as final. This is not likely, however.
All the many ruIAOrs that the Mayor had been
suspended on Saturday were of course false,
as the Governor could not legally take such
action until the Mayor had pleaded. Nor is

the importance of thorough ventilation of our
houses. These two terrible maladies almost
