that of the Empire, to which the
Republicans retort that the in
creased expenditure is owing to
the recklessness of the empire,
which increased the public burdens
and lost all the taxpayers of Al
SAGE and Lorraine. The wealth of
the French people, especially after
the eNhausting drain produced by
the Eranco-German war, shows a
most remarkable degree of thrift
and absence of extravaganza,
which have not usually been con-
sidered characteristic of them.
The currency of France is a pa
per one, legal tender for all debts
due to either private parties or
the government, and interconvert-
ible at par with the government
bonds. In fact, it is practically

Those who approach these questions

Those who study them with care hest

ly to decide doubt and stop, over
whelmed with the weight of the enor-
nous responsibility.
The quantities of the precious metals
which are now sufficient may become
insufficient, and we should proceed
with great prudence before we dimin-
ish that which constitutes a part of the
riches Of the human race. Sometimes
gold takes the place of silver. Some
times silver takes the place of gold
This keeps up the general equilibrium
Nobody can guarantee that the present
vast production of gold will continue
The placers are found on the surface o.
the earth, and may be exhausted BY

Silver presents itself in the form o.
subterranean veins. Science may
contribute TO accelerate its eXtration

which dominates the future, we should
practice prudent reserve.

Those Wonderful FrenchHmen.
The national wealth of France
and the remarkable habits of
thrift that characterize its people
are in very remarkable contrast
with the hard times prevailing
everywhere else. While all the
rest of the world is pinching and
economizing, France is recklessly
and lavlshly pitching her mllliards
out as if they were pennies. The
war indemnity amounted to five
milliards, and the war cost nearly
ten milliards, and yet there are
now two milliards of money In
coin lying in the Bank of France.
In our money the war indemnity
was one billion; the cost of the
war, two billions of dollars: and
there are now in bank, four humid
red millions of dollars. The re-
cent city loan of Paris, amount
ing to scventy-five millions of
dollars, was taken at once, and
more than thrice the amount was
offered. The Paris correspond
ent of the Edinburgh Scotchman
writes that the French budget
which is now under discussion
exceeds one hundred millions OF
pounds sterling. or five hundred
millions of dollars, and yet meets
with no serious opposition, except
in the matter of war estimates,
which the Budget Committee
thinks should be slightly reduced.
The war estimates amount TO one
hundred and ten millions Of dol
lars, which the Committee are
seeking TO reduce about four mil
lion dollars. The only criticisms
upon these extraordinary estimates
comes from the Imperialists, who
do not object to the estimate itself,
but are inclined to improve the
opportunity Of haunting the Re
publicans with the charge that
their expenditure vastly exceeds

The Republicans Of Atchison held
a grand rally on the evening of the
9th. Col. p. i. Plumb, of this city,
was one of the speakers, and the
Champion speaks as follows of his
effort:
At eight O'CLOCK Col. Thos. MUIR
ply called the meeting 10 order,and
Introduced TO the audience Col. L. b.
Plumb, of Emporia, who was re-
ceived with deafening cheers.
Col. Plumb opened his address
with brief review OF the two mar
ties OF the nation, the relations they
bore towards each other, and The
acts and principles, past and pres
ent, OF the organizations were re-
viewed with elearness and accura-
cy that proved him a master of The
subject. lie referred to the Demo-
cratic party as the interferer in all
great questions of national and state
importance, citing to the Missouri
compromise, and the Nebraska and
Kansas bills, when they were striv-
ing to prevent that curse of all
cGrses-slavery-from being trans
mitted to their sacred soils. lie said
that the Democrat who took his gun

the Union was 10 be judged not by

viewing the conduct OF S. j. Tilden

crime 10 the causes that led TO the
assassination OF AbrshaIn Lincoln /;
to The times when the loyal people
OF Kansas aud the Southern States
were hunted like wolves, and pro-
Dounced traitors and intruders.
Here the speaker talked at some
length about what the Democratic
party had done for the country since
the close of the struggle, and dis
cussed the greenback and silver
questions in a manner that proved
him perfectly conversant with the
financial questions of the hour. The
speaker dealt with all questions fair
ly, and impressed those present that
