The Peruvian Capital.

The Franco-German war has been re-
peated on a smaller scale. The contest be-
tween Chile on the one side, and Peru
and Bolivia on the other, has been a Sc
ries Of triumphs for the former nation.
The Ch;leans have had things their own
way from the first In the Franco Ger
man war the French fought with their
accustomed bravery, but the iron oolamns
of the German army were always on the
field when the fgh. had ended. Fate
seemed to be against the French. The
habit of victory grew SO strong in the
German that it could not be ovSrcome.
The Chileans have en;issed a similar se-
ries OF trium ..ns in the war which the
capture, OF Lima will probably end. They
asve met no serioas reverses fom the start
and their success does not seem the result
Of lack of courage on the rari of the
Peruvians, The latter defended their
beautiful Capital as the French defended
Paris, with courage, but without any
success A detailed account Of the
strength of the two armies, and the
character of their arms mag reveal reason
for the success Of the Chilean army. We
only know that 1000 Peruvians laid down
their lives at Charallas, and afterward
1000 made a stand at Mirafores. In
both battles the Chleans lost heavily,
but renamed masters of the field

Our Gain in Population.

When the war of the rebellion began,
the population OF the United States as
| determined by the census of the year pre-
vious, was 81. .443,32l. OF these nearly
two-6fths, or l2,24O,2 ,293, were inhabi-
tants Of the fifteen slave States. There
were, therefore, Il, ,203, ,02S people in the
rest of the States and Territories.
The census Of 1880 found so, 152, ,559
people in the United States. During the
twenty years between 1850 and 1880 we
accordingly gained lo,7o9, ,23S inhabitants
OF this increase about one-third took
place in the old slave States, and about
two-thirds in the rest Of the Union. In
exact figures, the South gained 6,267 ,673
inhabitants.
The comparative growtal CT tha differ
ent portions "a the country can be more
particularly displayed BY making four d.
visions. The Now England States; the
other Northern States east of the Missis-
sippi; the States and Territories west of
the Mississippi, except .sch As were among
arstns the old slave States; taken to-
gether as the fourth division. These dI-
visions are, of course, more or less arbi-
trary, but they will serve our purpose.
The population OF the old slave States in
1860 and 1880 was:

ours. The Berlin Zci,uny intimates that
1.-The leading nations viii have to adept
bi-metalism in order TO escape from the
double evil of the depreciation of silver
and the growing scarcity of gold II sng-
yests that Germany, France and the
United States shonld Join hands 10 re-
place the white metal IL circulation"
You further object to the double STAN
dard because the two metals cannot be
kept on par The above extract from
the Zsitusg suggests the remedy advanced
by all bi-metallist, ri.: A union OF nations
under one standard A union like that
of the Latin Union. but wider in its scope.
When America and the nations of Europe
unite upon a mutual agreement that both
gold and silver will be a legal tender, with
each other, and within themselves, then
there Will be no more ffuctuation In the
purchasing power of either.
There is no doubt but that, as you say,
an unlimited Coinage of silver on the part
of our government, during the depreciation
of that metal, would, in imedriyegoid from
our shores. Therefore. Bsoans, IGn b.

the cheaper metal will drive out of circu-

at least J2,0e0, 900 is spent out Of the

no'industry except agriculture, this state
of things, until remedied, will be produc
