FRENCH CRITICISM OF AMERICA.
Gailic Opinion of Finance, Farmers Al
lance and Other Familiar Questions


lance and Other Familiar Questions.
PARIS, Jan. Aeon Say, in an article
In the Journal Des Debdts, severely criticises
the Mckinley tariff law and the American
Farmers Alliance. He declares that
America, Notwithstanding its immense
wealth, cannot carry out its indust -ial,
commercial, or agricultural enterprise
without European capital, and continues
The fact OF the situation is that they have de-
stroyed their credit by abusing it, by malad-
ministration of their transport enterprises, aud
Dy their even worse administration OF their local
finances. Unless rea ton occurs in public
morals American credit cannot recover from its
aDasemenr, and its agricultural, like its other
industries, viii remain prey to successive con-
yuisions, for which transient remedies will
De sought by the adoption of experiments
certain TO fail, continually leading the
country to graver crisis 1t is astonishing in
a country of business men that they have
brought themselves to believe there are no
limits to money circulation Ii America turns
It's mines into coin and raises paper currency in
accordance with the ideas OF the Farmers ALI
ance, no agreement will be possible with Europe
ON the monetary question. Europe would be
foolish to transfer its capital TO America in ex-
change ion an absolutely useless mass OF silver.

The Birds of Trinidad.
From a Report by Consul SAWYER.

The most conspicuous bird in Trinidad
is the corbeau, large, black vulture be-
longing TO the order of accipitrcs Being
protected by law he has become bold. and
his occupation, that of assisting the
scavengers, is disgusting. The value of
his service, however, is questionable, as it
would be far better for the sanitary condi-
ton of the city to obiige coolies to clean
the streets properly. and destroy the cor
beaus in order that the people may have
the privilege of enjoying themselves be-
meath the great trees that ornament the
public squares and parks of the city.
There are a9S kinds of birds in the colony,
many of which are very beautiful. Pre-
vious to the passage of the ..wiid birds
ordinance" which prohibits the exporta-
ton OF bird skins, except for scientific pur-
poses, many were shot and their skins sent
away to be used in ornamenting the hats
or head-dresses of the fashionable ladies of
London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid New York.
etc, as the plumage of the Trinidad hum
ming-bird, bluebird, scarlet-ibis, or car
dinal gave increased brilliancy 10 the
proudest danes of those capitals. But all
that trade in bird plumage is now pro-
hibited by the enforcement of the said
ordinances, the birds of the colony being
permitted to multiply, and as they perch
or iiy amidst foliage of a thousand coIors.
We are reminded of the relieving scenery
in a charming holiday pantonIiIne
