ACHAPTER OF FRENCH FINANCIAL
HISTORY.

The future historian will probably
place high estimate upon the wisdom
of the managers of the bank of France
who, early in the FrancO-German war,
in her own interest as private cor
poration, advanced to the government
of France (as per report. Nov. :. 1913,
of NJ. Magne, Minister of finance), the
imperial sum of 1880, 900. 900 francs
(say ,0O0,00O) payable in install
ments of 100000 francs (S4O, O00,-
OOO) per year, with interest at one per
cent. Almost simultaneously with
this aid to the central executive
departments of the nation, they care
fully nurtured with singular prOvl-
dence the productive and commercial
functions of the NATHAN, neglecting
not even the humblest.
By the kindness of Mr.. J. w. Shuck-
ers, we are permitted to copy the
following report made by the late
Mr.. Thomas Balch, Who obtained his
information from leading bankers of
Paris:
"It became apparent very soon after
the hostilities between France and
Germany, that the armies of the
Empire were too weak (the military
organization had been sswormeaten,'
as was expressively sadly to resist the
sure and swift advance of the Ger
mans upon the French capitol. Vari

the last days of July, which clearly

disasters that overwhelmed the empire
and ended in the conquest of France

An Illinois Correspondent on the Usury
Question.


Editor Anti-Monopolist:
DEAR SIR: / have seen in the Jour-
nal of Agriculture and Farmer OF st.
Louis. Mo. a collection from your pa
per in which you assert that ''money
is now the dragon which is devOurlng
men. women, and children, and whole
villages' And you ask s'where is the
Hercule that is to restrain this mon
ster!'
Permit me to say law to prohibit
interest on money in this country is
that Hercules. BY repeating this
protection given tomoney and making
all interest usury, after the passage of
the act, and receivable from the per-
son to whom it is paid. Our surplus
capital would buy and bring home all
of our government bonds which 1T
should be forced to do because the
blood and muscle was forced to defend
it in it's time of need, and the blood
and muscle of a country ought to be
as sacred as the capital of it. There
would be another chance of invest
ment with profit for our surplus CAPT
tai. in buying our railroad bonds
which are held abroad thus placing us
tribute to Il foreign country in sending
money to pay interest on them which
our government as aprotective princi-
pie should not permit.
Our manufactures never can start
with life and vigor until that leak is
stopped. We have as much right to
protect our wasting national finances
us a man has to try to preserve his
wasting muscles.
We have the grandest opportunity
offered to us if we will only see it,
that any nation ever had. BY this law
we would free ourselves from the
tribute we are paying the old country
and by the genius of our people, the
facilities for manufacturing, and the
advantages of cheap money we would
manufacture for the world and take
all of the carrying trade. We would
then need no tariff laws to prohibit
foreign goods from coming to us from
abroad. None would then come lie
ultimately nor would any be Struggled
in for the best reason in the world.
With our raw material and chea]
money foreigners could not compet'
with us in manufacturing.
1t is not the ''pauper labor O
Europe that gives our manufacturing
interests the nightmare but it is thei
cheap money. We can absorb tn
'spauper labor and skilled labor Q
England if we get money chea
enough.
The road to prosperity has to be Gu
out through neutral ground by repea
Ing the protection given to none
which has made the rich richer an
the poor poorer. And if the govern
ment does not interpose, capital wi
go on exacting until the laboring ma
becomes slave.

Embarrassing Questions.

New York Times.
The Democratic newspapers pass very
lightly over the fact that General Anderson,
of the Louisiana Returning Board, positively
testifes that $500, 200 was offered for the
purchase of the electoral vote of Louisiana
for Tilden. There is no attempt to dscredit
or break down this evidence Whose money
was this Whose but his who had previously
sent thousands of dollars to assist the weak
Grover, of Oregon, and other thousands to
buy the vote of Hayes elector in South Car
olina? Let us hear less about the so-called
startling exposure in Louisiana" where, as
all agree, no money was received by any Off
Ger of the Returning Board for any dishonest
purpose. Until the Democrats have explained
how it was that one of Tilden's Louisiana
agents boldly offered bribe to secure an cleo
toral vote for him, they waste their breath in
vociferating about reported plans of fraud.
Who authorized DR.. w. A. Robertson to of
fer General Anderson 100000 to insure
Louisiana for 'rilden?

Cloud Banners of the Alps.

Among the most exquisite scenes which de-
light the eye Of the European travelerare those
wonderful rose-colored cloud banners, floating
from the Alpine cliffs. But it is only in the
sunlieht that Nature hangs out these beautiful
tokens So it is only in the glow of health
the sunlight of our inner being-that nature
reveals those physical cloud-banners, the rosy
cheek" and ''cherry lip" to praise which eve
ry poet of the earth has invoked the Muse to
aid him. But they are as rare as the cynical
Hood conceived Christian charity to be-
Woman, eager to retain this charm, resorts 20
French art and rouge. The effect is similar to
that which would be produced by substituting
auctioneers' flags for the delicate glowing
cloud-banners of the Alps. If woman would
aid Nature instead of adopting art, would seek
health insiead of vainly trying to mask disease
she would not only win the greatest charm of
omanhood-health-bu she would avert
much misery both from herself and others
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has received
the highest praise from thousands of pale, del
icate, suffering women. One bottle often af-
fords more relief than months of treatment by
caustics and other medicines. 1t is harmless
in any condition of the system, and its use Of
ten renders the modest invalid exempt from
that most trying of ordeals-a personal consul
tation with physician. 1t is the duty of every
woman to become familiar with the causes and
symptoms of the many diseases to which her
peculiar organization renders her liable, and
also to learn the proper means of preventing
these maladies. The Peoples Medical Advi-
ser contains an extensive treatise upon s'Wom-
an and her Diseases" The Author also adyi-
ses courses of domestic treatment, which will
often render the services of physician unne-
cessary. Every woman should read it. A

dressing the Author. DR.. r. V. Pierce, at

Special Dispatch to the Gin. Gaz.

Special Dispatch to the Gin. Gaz
WASHINGTON, Feb. z.
The Electoral Commission was to vote at 3
O'Clock on the vital question which it had dis
cussed for two days, and as that hour ap-
preached, little knots Of anxious people began
10 gather in the corridor leading from the
Supreme Court room to the Senate Chamber.
Among these were Senators and Representa-
tives, journalists, and not few of the politi.
clans of both parties, on national reputation,
now in Washington watching the progress of
events. During the half hour of waiting
many rumors were afioat as to the decision of
the Commission, and furnished, for the time,
topics of discussion among those assembled.
None OF these rumors had a substantial foun-
dation, for no one came from the Supreme
Courtroom TO give any intimation of what
was going on within its closed doors
THE FIRST NEWS.
Soon after half past three there was move
ment in the crowd, and Senator Edmunds
was seen to come from the courtroom with
several law books under his arm. He threaded
his way through the obstructed corridor, and
passed into the Senate, without stopping to
speak to any one. The satisfied look which
overspread his face, gave the Republicans
some hope. He was followed few minutes
later by Senator Morton, who walked with
difficulty, leaning upon his two canes. A
personal friend joined him as he came into
the corridor, and walking by his side to the
door OF the Senate Chamber, got the firs
news of the Commissions decision. Then, a.
if 'elegraphed, the word went around, "Eigh
to seven against testimony" A moment
later several other members of the Commits
sion appeared, and the result was know
more in detail throughout the crowd. Tn
Republicans were greatly elated and th
Democrats in like degree depressed, whel
they heard the news.
THR PIVOTAL JUDGE.
After all, everything depends upon the fiftl
Judge. The action Of the Electoral Com
mission to-day, shows that Judge Bradle
holds the balance of power on all question
affecting the final result. Stanley Matthew,
witty comparison of the Commission to
. Papal Consstory has perfect application.

Ma. CuARLg rs OCoSoR can do nothing now

Mr.. CHARLES OCoSoR can do nothing now
to shake the affectionate reverence in which
this generation must always hold the present
brilliant and incorruptible leader of the Amer
ican bar. But no younger man, with fame
less secure and license of speech less absolute,
could have ventured upon 20 gross an affront
to one-half the court he was addressing as
that with which the venerable advocate dis
Il cured the plea he yesterday made in aid Of
Mr. David Dudley Field in the case of Tilden
against the Constitution, the precedents, and
the people. Mr.. O,Conor is singularly unfor-
tnnaie in these recent outbursts of violent
temper. He had OILY just returned from
apologizing to the President Of the United
States for wanton personal insult, when he
assured one-half the high court that they
could not look honest men in the face and as
sert without bfushing their belief in the cleo
tisn of Hayes. 1t has certainly been fifty
years since Mr.. O'Conor appeared in Tombs
police court case, and yet he seems to retain a
vivid recollection of its methods. Mr.. Tilden
may well pray TO lie delivered from such a
defense.-[N. Y. Tribune.
II may not be the fault of the Democratic
party, but if is certainly its misfortune, that
its good faith should be under constant sus-
picion. Does any one doubt that the Repub-
lican party, partisans, independents, and all,
will accept the decision of the Commission
promptly and without reserve, whether it
makes Gov. Hayes President or not !? But
what of the Democratic party? At almost
every step in the long discussion that has
finally wrought out mode, such as it is, of.
settling the difficulty, the universal uncer-
tainty has been deepened by the general lack
of confidence In the faithful adherence of the
Democrats 10 any plan of arbitration which
did not mean Gov Tilden's Inauguration.
These doubts and suspicious are still abroad
in Washington, though the Commission,
which owes its existence mainly to Demo-
cratic votes, is in the midst of its work. 1t
may be that observers at the capital are over
suspicious of party which will bear great
deal of watching. The incidents that have
given rise to these questionings, such as Mr..
OConor's declaration yesterday that the
House is the sole judge as to when Presi-
dent has be elected, may not have any
special significance. But there is evidently
widespread distrust of that organization which
ought to surprise nobody, least of all its own
members, especially when a leading Demo-
crat of III; House openly declares that Mr..
Tilden will not abide by an adverse decision.

A Black Record.

fHlia0elpnia TTeSS.
Dogmatism, insolence, and brow
beating, seem to ba the special traits OF
all the advocates of Gov. Tilden. Mr..
Dudly Field, of New York, was the
chief bully, until Jeremiah s. Black,
of Pennsylvania, was introduced, and
he appears before the great court much
like the overseer of slave plantation,
lashing his sentences over the backs of
the triumvirate precisely as If they
were his own chattels. His address Of
Saturday last was emineutly charac-
teristic. He stood before that tribunal
with no more apparent recollection OF
his own record in favor of the rebel
lion, and no more shame for il than
any of the x-Confederate generals in
Congress. Where he could not find
the law to suit him he made new law.
When history was against him he per-
verted it. The words forgery fraud
counterfeit 'counterfeiter, 'fslsehood,'
phrases like taking people by the
throat were as freely used by this
man, rs if he himself had not been,
since 1861, standing before the nation
the apologist for some of the mcst
monstrous political crimes in history.

can side, he admitted that il must have
osen done for q fraudulent purpose, but
denies that he had any knowledge ss

the Same house with him.

$50 working girls wanted their rights.
They snickered, giggled. muttered
something about 'woman's righters;'

rejected all overtures. She next went
among $50 female rag pickers, of whom
a woman smoking a pipe was Presi.
