rrw.yoRK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY. APRn %, 1851

the Government have been so far successful
as to fiji advocates of the double standard
with enthusiasm Less than one-fifth OF the
silver paid out in place of gold received has
remained in circulation, and il may be added
that the silver reserve has not decreased at all
since January l. But the whole amount OF
gold paid in. and nearly as much more, has
been drawn ont Of the gold reserve
of the bank IA sum amounting To
372, 52j,7l francs. or nearly four tunes
the amount now remaining in the
central reserve. If the Government was wise
in cOnccaling its operations months ago, be-
cause knowledge of the danger might have
disturbed trade, it is difficult to see how dis
hrrbance is to be avoided hereafter when the
next considerable demand for gold arises.
II is not strange that France wishes to en-
list this country, and rs many others rs posi-
bic. to help it in bearing the load which the
use of silver imposes. But France, above all
other countries OF the Western world, is tie
one in which, if anywhere, large silver cir
culation can be safely maintained. 1t Is the
country which surpa SOS MI other, in the amount
of boarding habitual among the people; n j.
accustomed to the ordinary use of silver; and
it hrs practically no small notes in circulation.
The contrast between the United States and
France, in respect to the Use of small notes,
is most instructive. OF notes not exceeding
- each, the United State, has in circu-
htion 21l,326,o:s, while France has only
S1.JlQ.02G of notes of SO and 80 each, the
United states has IN circulation $337,375. i25,
while France has %l57,ol 5000. 1t follows
that silver coin is used in France of necessity, as

THE TryLSJ1N BORDER RAIDS.

THE TUNTSIAN BORDER RAIDS.
The military operations in Northern Africa
which are brought before the eyes OF our read
crs on the first page of this issue, have evil
IDENTITY been planned with painstaklng care by
the French staff. landing has been quickly
effected ON the coast of Tunis, and three col
umns have been set in motion from the Al
eerian frontier toward common centre in the
territory temporarily occupied by the hrouInirs.
The concentrc movement of three or more col
umns from separate bases OF supplies Is Il
method of invasion approved by modern tactl-
clans. The Russians conquered khiva IN tins
way, and tie British had equal success IN over
running AfghaniStan. ON the other hand, the
Russians met with humiliating rcycrScs when
they planned conccntric movement upon Ire
rourl. the columns being defeated in turn and
forced to retreat; and Lord Chelmsford was
equally unfortunate when he invaded Iululand
with three divisions. The French are not
likely To encounter serious resistance from the
Krouulirs. The advance is made witt supc-
rior force of Mt least 2j,OoO Incn, thoroughly
cquippcd andwcll supplied. and the rowing bands
of marauders whom they aim to surround and
diSpcrsc will not rise above the level OF gurr-
lila warfare. The campaign may be a tedious
one, but the issue is ioregonc conclusion.
The military system, which costs the French
pqoplc $40. 900 600 annually, is of snail
value if the conquest of these Arab tribes sub
iects il even to a momcnta-y Stinin.
The subsection Of the krouuirS is the only
ovowed object for which this expedition has
been Organized. They are restless children oI

opinion is only one as respects the time.
