NATIONAL DEBTS.

In 1861, when the war began, the
United States was practically without a
National Debt. That unhappy struggle
saddled us with one amounting to near
twenty-five hundred millions of dollars,
which is now happily reduced to the
neighborhood of two thousand millions
at the last official showing. European
nations have, however, managed to keep
up healthy increase of their national
blessings" if a National Debt is such.
The Paris Voltaire, which has been al
some pains to look into the matter, states
that since 1865, when the aggregate ma
tional debts of the European States
amounted to thirteen thousand millions,
they were increased until they now reach
the extremely pretty figure OF twenty
one thousand millions Of dollars. vi
course these vast accumulations of debt
have been the results of wars and war
preparations, that seem to be the chief
occupation of European Governments.
In 1865 the cost of running these
Governments was $1,990,O00,000, of
which sum $5S5,OOO,OOO were devoted
TO maintaining armies. Last year the
outlay reached 2,925,0O0,0OO, and the
cost for military operations and of main
tanning the various military establish
ments reached fully $S0O,0O0,O00. We
append below the cost in 1865 of main
tanning the armies of European States,
and that of the year 1879 thus:

Fifteen years ago Germany required
for the various departments of her Gov
ernment $155, 100000. AT this time she
is Strengthened to make both ends meet
with $350,000,000 of revenue. France
taxes her subjects to the extent of fur
nishing an income of $595,OOO,OO0, and
Russia requires $535,0O0,0O0. The Ma
tional debt of the latter has swellec
within the past fifteen years from 81, ,O4O,
100000 to some $9,0OO,O0O,OOO. AL
things must come to an end, but
we should suppose that a state Of
society where such a condition ex-
listed would possess more explosive force
than a cargo of dynamite, and that the
end would be reached with suddenness
and such tragieal surroundings that the
world would never see the same thing
repeated. What the actual result viii
be we shall not here attempt to predict
but that a shifting Of the scenes is il
preparation, any one with half an ey'
may see, and when it does come thu
shock is certain to be terrible.

see no reason, therefore. why our indus

should not unfix his mind from the pro-
duction of cornstalk sugar long enough
to set about the introduction of some
young saplings Of this tree to test

why should not we make also trial to

Gold Imports and the Effect Upon
Business.
From the New York Econonist

From the New York Economist
The imports of specie at this port dur
ing 1880 aggregate $38. 900. against
1861 $50 for the corresponding period
OF last year. Over 100000 in gold
has been received from abroad since
October l. The en,ire imports for the
week ending October % amounted to
Sc. $40. 81 in gold, while shipments of
nearly 100000 on Saturday last from
Havre are reported by cable, Il does
not seem probable that this flow of gold
to the United States will be arrested for
some time to come, The news from
France is less favorable in regard to crop
yields, and the late shipments OF several
cargoes of grain to Marseilles aud other
Mediterranean ports, with the Information
that others are to be sent in the same
direction, indicate the demand 10 greater
than was at 6rst anticipated. 1t it esti-
mated that over 100000 bushels of
grain will be required to supply the
deficiency of France alone, and liberal
shipment will be necessary to replenish
the:depleted reserves OF Southern Europe,
not encouraging. and it is certain
that but small quantity Of
grain can be obtained from that country.
The British yield is very Disappointing,
aud the previous large estimates have TO
be considerably lowered according to the
latest adVices. which place the product
at twenty five bushels to The acre. IF this
estimate is correct, Great Britain will re-
ouire l20.000.000 bushels from abroad.
The prospect, therefore, of all our surplus
crops being wanted to supply a foreign
demand is better than at any previous
period during the season.
AS the exports of breadstrffs will
therefore literally continue. the balances
in our favor must be settled in gold. The
loss of gold to the Bank of France attracts
attention, and the advance 10 the rate of
interest has not as yet checked the out
flow. as shipments TO this country still
continue. The liberal receipts of specie
from abroad have allayed all apprehen
sions of stringent money market here.
Usually the outflow of currency from
the East to move the crops creates for
several months strineeney in loans and
bank discounts. to the injury of business
enterprises. AS the banks. however. have
strengthened their reserves through the
foreign influx of specie, the fear of curt
allied discounts has been arrested
