THE DALLAS HERALD. MORNING JANUARY 90. 1882

London have not been materially influ-
enced by the depression on the Paris
bourse. The Bank of England did not
raise its rate yesterday, thus showing that
its directors saw no cause for imme-
date alarm. 1t must also be borne in mind
that the markets of London and Paris are
more distinct now than ever. In Germany
the natural antipathies OF the late war have
severed the two nations financially as well
as in other ways, and there are few stocks
common to Paris and Berlin. What has
grown up in Paris has been a.vast web of
financial associations, such as the Union
Generate, the Leander Bank, and others,
which draw and redeem on one another,
and have blown up such bubble of specu-
lative paper that, even if the crash does not
come now, it is only postponed.-[New

THE FRENCH PANIC,
Its Cause and MISREPRESENTATION In the
shares of the Union Generate.

shares of the Union Genernle.
The immediate cause of the recent panic
in Paris has been the universal speculation
in the stock of the Union Generate, II linan-
cial company which was formed in Decem-
Der, 1880, and has thus existed little more
than a year. The story of this new society
is worth the telling, 1t was iouneed by "A
fervent Catholic, who, having conceived the
idea, drew up his original prospectus
and started oil for Rome, where
the new scheme was submitted
to the Pontiir and duly received
the Papal benediction. Armed with this
Endorsement he returned to Paris and oh.

have large funds on hand, were canvaSSod,

however, were not to be daunted, and they
met the attack manfully till many more
thousands of the shares had been sold than
ever existed. The bears made frantic
efforts to get out and break the market.
At this moment the directors announced u

transaction caused the death Of one Of the

considerable inroad was made even ON his

has concentrated large blocks OF Union

GAMBErrA had u short-lived glory as the
head of the French Ministry. The hostiI-
ity towards him, or opposition more prop
erly, on the part of the Assembly probably,
arose more, perhaps, from their fears OF his

formed and disseminated by his political
rivals than from any othercause In accor-

Or the late Clarkson n. Potter, of Now

appeared in these columns recently,
the Chicago Times has this to say
"Mr. Clarkson Potter, who died in tho har-
ness as lawyer, came nearer tho Presi-
dency of the United States than most men
not named in the nominating conventions.
He was the choice of all the factions of the
Democratic party of New York for Lieuter-
ant. Governor in 1879 and came within n
few votes of election. Had he been chosen
even by narrow majority, his nomination
at Cincinnati as man who would heal dis
sentions in that State would have been
probable just as soon as Tilden's nominn-
ton was impossible, 1t is possible that he
could have carried New York, State pride
would have done much for him in that
direction, and with New Yorks electoral
vote his election would have been assured, T"

An Idle Marine.

Had President Garfield lived W,
would have been spared all this appa
rently bad feeling existing between tn,
friends Of President Arthur and the
friends of Mr.. Blaine, for il is well M.
dortOOd that Mr.. Garlield's idea was to
use the proposed Congress TO bring the
South American States into closer com.
mercial relations with this country.
BY our do-nothing foreign policy we
have permitted the trade of South
America, lying at our commercial doors,
and which naturally belongs to US to
slip away from US into the hands of
those with whom we can have but lit
tie political or commercial sympathy
The South American States are chiefly
agricultural, and have little taste for
manufactures and have no Immediate
purpose to establish them For long
time they will have to depend on for
eign countries for their supply of tool 5
and implements. At the present all
these come from Great Britain, cou.
pie OF thousand miles farther Oft than
We are. Our rival across the Ocean
sails them great quantities of goods in
lines in which We are beginning to sup
ply them, ours being the best in form
and quality. and therefore cheaper In
reality, if not 30 in the price list. We
buy from these South American coun-
tries great quantities of coffee and 9th
er articles, but have TO pay a yearly
balance of over fifty millions of dollars
to them. Ii we look at the question ra
u0nally we can easily tell willy. Our
coffee comes to New York in English
steamships direct from tio Janeiro.
These steamships carry manufactures
from Liverpool to Rio Janeiro, carry a
load OF coffee from the latter sea port to
New York, and then they carry load
OF wheat from New York back to Liv.
erpool, making "a grand commercial
round, in which they deliver three car
goes IL one trip. These vessels never
stop at our ports on their way out, they
only call on their way home, when it i.
70 their commercial advantage to do so.
AS consequence, our trade with South
America is altogether one sided. The
commodities we get from there are maid
Tor, not with our own, but with En-
g!ish commodities, and for these we
pay with the food exported to England
1t takes no keen perception to see that
such trade is no benefit to our merchant
marine True, it affords usa market
1or our produce, but it keeps our ma.
rine in idleness. The latter ha, no
protection whatever, and are depend
6nt simply upon coast trade for EN-
ployment. In fact, until we take the
steps which England and France took
for the creation of mercantile marine
We Will be confined to home trat-
nc and to such exports of manufacturers
AZ We can make to countries amply Ell
gagged in manufacturing, and shut ont
from exports to those which are chiefly
agricultural, and therefore the best
market for manufactures.
