munal taxes. Paris alone has a
debt of $500, 100000, and interest
on this sum must be provided by local tax
alton. Parisians are likewise called upon
10 furnish large annual sum for the sup
port of the very perfect but somewhat ex-
pensive government OF the municipality. 1t
IS grand to be a citizen of the finest city in
the world, but the grandeur comes high.
Judging from our point of view, in the
llght OF our experience, we should be in
cllned to think that the credit of a country
so burdened with debt as France, and in
which the rate of taxation is so heavy,
could not be very good. There is limit
beyond which the capacity OF a people to
pay taxes cannot be pushed. But it seems
that in the opinion of Europe, that limit
has not been reached in France. The rev.
enue IS collected at less cost than the
United States government has to pay, and
the republic can borrow all the money it
wants at or II per cent The French are
the most thrifty and in money matters the
but they will take their saw
ings out Of the old stocking to
lend 1t 10 the government of the day-what-
ever 1t may beat per cent. The growth
OF the French debt and of the communal
debts has had this effect: from being the
cheapest country in the world to live in it
has become one of the dearest. Paris is
now probably the most expensive metropo
lis IN Europe. Forty years ago students
came up from the country to follow
course of law or medicine at Paris, and
lived on 600 or 500 francs, say sl20 or S14O
year. Now, if they cannot command an
income of at least twice that amount they
must stint their food and wear old clothes.
A family in Paris used to live comfortably
on 81 900 year; now they are pinched if
they have only $4,000. Taxation does tell

The State of Trade,

Reports of the business transacted in the
and south for the week preceding the holt
day season are of most encouraging ma
ture not only was the volume of trade very
large, but the money market was easier.
Dun & Co. give the situation as follows:
Eastern cities feel the effects of expected
legislation and recent failures, but also of
present monetary relief. Confidence i'm
proves at Boston and sales of merchandise;
wholesale dry goods are quiet, but retail
active, wool sells more largely, and also
leather, and boot manufacturers hope for
an advance of 81 or g per case. Though
money is easier at Philadelphia, the note
worthy feature is the general difficulty of
collections, especially in iron, paints, oils,
jewelry and glass. Trade is fair in all these
lines, and glass plates are sitter, but lower
prices are expected in wool, and the de-
mand for tobacco is light. The anthracite
coal trade is demoraliZed and restrictions
OF output do not restrict, general break
UP OF the combination being apprehended.
Iron shows no improvement at Philadel-
phla or here, and sales are reported at
SIG. % for Northern No. l and $3.50 for
Southern, S27 for rails and is cents for
bar. The demand for finised products gen
orally is Stacker, and closing of more fur
naces is likely to be forced. Copper is I'M
settled, Lake having sold at 10 cents, but
tin is shade stronger at 20.S5 cents and
lead at 40.
The dry goods trade feels the influence
OF recent failures, and of stringency in
commercial loans. Trade in cotton goods
is not so large as usual, and though print
cloths are down to 3 cents, the first time
for several years, stocks on hand are S0O,-
600 pieces. Trade in wooden dress goods
has been encouraging, and there Is no evil
dence OF failure in distribution, and the
knit goods trade has had an exceptional
season, but other wooden goods are much
affected by caution or inability Of clothing
houses and by the failures in that branch.
In the speculative markets the tendency
has generally been downward, though
wheat is rs cents higher than a week ago
in spite OF phenomenally small exports and
accumulating stocks. Corn is 21s cents
lower, pork IS cents per barrel, hogs 40
cents per 100 pound, and oil fraction
lower. Cotton and coffee are unchanged
for the week. But it. is noteworthy that
the speculative markets are all hesitating,
in the feeling that monetary legislation
may indefinitely alter she situation. Hence
largely increased immediate supplies of
money, by imports Of gold and treasury
disbursements, have less effect than might
be expected

A NOTEWORTHY EXCEPTION.

From the kSmbdH Is. d. Graphic.
While the columns OF the Graphic are
open to any and all unobiectionable adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for US
to speak knowingly Of the merits of the
various articles of merchandise advertised
Particularly is this true of patent medi-
cines. But there are exceptions occasionally,
and noteworthy exception is the cele-
brated Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
This now universally known medicine
has been advertised in the Graphic for
four or FIVE years but not until recently
had we any personal knowledge of its Won
derful efficacy which has come about
through the prevailing influenza and the
stubborn cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this wiuter cured
cough that bafied any and al other
remedies; and, the number Of families in
himball and vicinity, in which this remedy
has been used with like effects, attests to
its value as specific for coughs and colds
of every nature. For sale by L. c. NJ. L.

FINANCE AND MINING
q. c. NJ. rs. Fine Showing for
Half Of December.
BUSINESS GENERALLY GOOD.
The State of Trade-News from the Mines
The Week Only Fair
One.

The week has been signaliZed by nothing
unusual except the usual hurry attendant
on closing up books for the year. There is a
general looking forward to January l, with
good deal of interest, as many contracts
and collections fall due that date, and the
inability to renew anything in the present
state of the market is well known. The
general sentiment is hopeful, however, and
the belief is that January will not pass
without seeing relaxation in the present
tension of feeling. That the cry of tight
money and hard times is largely exaggera-
ted and that the present feeling of insecur-
ity is an unreasonable one is shown by the
excellent state of business at q. G. M. l.,
which, we believe, is sort of index
to business conditions with most
other mercantile houses in the
city. This institution keeps carefully
tabulated statement showing the sales and
cash receipts for each day in every month,
as compared with the same days in the
same months in the year previous. The
figures shown to HERALD representative
yesterday were up to December 10 of this
year, and as against the same fifteen days
in 1889 they show most gratifying in
crease. The gain in sales was 10 per cent.
The gain in cash receipts from sales and
collections on notes and accounts was over
10 per cent, and Mr.. Weber said that the
percentage of gain would be even heavier
for the last half of the month than for the
first.
A year ago now the general feeling was
excellent; business and collections to-day
are large percentage better, and what
solid reason the pulse of trade has for
beating SO abnormally it will take whole
college of the doctors of finance to discover.

1t will be seen that the repertory has
three new operas, "Ernani, F." ''The Masked
Ball" and "Anne Boleyn," the first two by
Verdi. the rlast by Doinzetti, so there
acter Annandale, Broderick and Mich
elena, all favorites here, are with
the company this season. OF "Er-
nani," which opens the engagement,
the Commercial Gazette said: "From the
opening chorus of 'Ernani' to the final
notes of the tragic harmony of the stately
and grand trio of the last act, Verdi's
wonderful melody entranced the audience
and held them spell bound. 1t was the
grandest and most complete operate pro-
duction ever given by the Abbott COM
pany and surpassed anything of the kind
seen in this city for years. No such opera
has Deen heard or seen in CINCINNATI
The ENQUIRER said ''There is no disputinp
the fact that Emma Abbott is the most
popular soprano in America. She never
sang better than she did last night as
Elvira in 'Ernaui.' She gave the role of
Elvira sweetness and intensity that but
few artists could offer. Her singing was
exquisite and soulful The opera was
grandly given and never before had such
an Interpretation here. Manager Pratt
has fulfilled every promise that Abbott's
opera this season should surpass all former
productions of English operas. The SPLEEN
did chorus contributed its share of the
credit for seven curtain recalls. The
beautiful music, made more so by its
superb rendition, had to be repeated four
times before the enraptured audience
would be satisfied"
When "Anne Boleyn" was produced in
Minneapolis later the Tribune said eff
'Ernani' was a triumph this last and great
est opera Anne Boleyn' was an ovation.n
Abbott opera this season, it is said, is
not what Abbott opera was few years ago
Or what English opera usually is Abbott
opera is grand opera in every sense, and for
these reasons: Tie company and the opera
as an institution are of much larger pro-
portions than ever before; much larger
and more skilled orchestra supports the
company than ever before; operas are
much more richly and luxuriantly staged,
and last, but not least, Emma Abbott her.
self is singing with greater brilliancy than
ever. These conditions are verified at every
performance and have been throughout the
season. The opinions quoted at the outset
of this article have been re-echoed from
almost every city in which the Abbott COM
pany has appeared 1.-The operas are mag

thus, under more favorable and better con-

ABBOTT is prepared to present English
opera in form and with a splendor Of eff

cities.

Taxation in Frame

To the American observer, the financial
situation of some foreign countries is posi-
lively appalling. M. Pelleton, who would
be called in this country chairman of the
committee on ways and means, has lust
filed his budget with the French chamber
and reports the aggregate debt of the
French republic as 10000, Sl3,594 francs.
say $1,000, 200. 900. We wonder how the
people can stagger under such a load of in.
debtedness. When the first Napoleon was
overthrown he left France with a debt of
some S25O, 000,0 600, the product of twenty
years OF warfare. This was quadrupled
under the peaceful but corrupt regime of
Louis XVIII, Charles X and Louis Phil
lppe. The republic in lS4S found an exist
ing Indebtedness of about 81 ,O0O. 5000 600
This was more than doubled under Napo
leon Ill. The present republic had to deal
with national debt of about 81, SOC, 600 600
1t pursued precisely the opposite policy to
the one which we have followed in
this country; instead of reduc-
increased it. Three years ago its total was
reckoned at 81, 700, 100000, and now M. Pei
Teton gives it as 81, 060, 000. 900, more than
three times the debt of the United States.
To pay the interest on this debt, and to de-
fray the cost of a large army and navy
maintained with view to a future war
with Germany, the French are taxed at the
rate of $40 per head per year for the entire
population, and all sorts of annoying i'm
posts, such as taxes on doors and windows.
and salt, and other necessaries of life, are
maintained. Our taxation in this country
for federal purposes is about SIS per head
per annum. But our contribution for the
support of the federal government and for
the payment of interest on the national debt
leaves an annual surplus of about 500, 0O0,-
600, while the annual deficit of French bud
gets does not average much less than that
sum. The $40 which every French man.
woman and child has to contribute yearly
for the support of the general govern
ment does NOT cover the com
