NO SHRINKAGE IN FRANCE.

Much discussion has been aroused throughout
the European press by the publication OF the
returns Of the recent census of France. The
latter show that whereas the annual number
of births per thousand inhabitants amounts to
80 in Germany, to 80 in England, and TO As
in Russia, it is only % in France. The Ger
mans point ont with pride that while the pop
ulation of the Empire has increased by 1851
224 during the last five years, that of France
has increased only 20s ,00O and they like
wise draw attention in their newspapers TO the
fact that during the preceding lustrTm the in
creases were 500, 900 for France and 1921
GA for Germany.
Basing themselves on these figures, both the
German and the English press proceed to argue
that Frances power and prosperity are on the
wane They describe her as even more con-
clusively vanquished by the birth-rate Of Ger
many than by the artillery of the latter in
1870, and declare that the cradle has been
more potent than he deadly Prlssian artillery
in transferring forever the balance of power
from Paris TO Berlin.
While under ordinary circumstances shrink

cate proportionate shrinlage Of prosperity
anu power, IL II HIdhilcSV thaV IL 'dihov DC re-
garded as doing so in the case of France, which
is a notable exception TO the generally accepted
rule. For never within the memory of man
has France been more prosperous and possessed
of more solid and enduring power than at the
present time. In 1871 Prince Bismarck imag
med that By the laying waste of some of the
fairest provinces of France, by the seizure and
annexation of Asace and Lorraine with ali
their industrial wealth, and by the imposition
of an enormous war indemnity, he had rendered
powerless the gallant but unfortunate foe Of

A FEV COLD FACTS.

The Free-Trade press, when it ventures to
say anything about the Reciprocity treaties,
makes the widest misStatements. One journal,
for example, has remarked that the United
States already supplies three-ffths of Cuba's
total consumption of flour, that we had the
best of her commerce without Reciprocity, and
that our exporters would do better to rely
upon their natural advantages than to count too
much upon this defective Reciprocity agree
ment" Now let us see what are the facts
about -four. Before July /, 1890, our export
ers did send to Cuba about one-haIf of the -four
which it consumed. This was done even with
discrimination of about 81 80 barrel in
favor OF Spanish flour But at that date Span
ish flour not only became absolutely free under
the sliding scale of reductions which had be-
gun about 1888, but 20 per cent was added
TO the existing duties on American -four. This
brought the discrimination against American
-four up to 50 g. - a barrel. The effect Of
this increase of duties is shown in the follow
ing table made up from information furnished
to us by the Bureau of Statistics of the Treas
ury Department:

Yacht which has been a continual wonder and

nominal cost-that it would seem that they ought
to be scrupulously exact, in their dealings with
the city, to render the uttermost farthng of their

law officers are about TO begin proceedings against
a number of these companies to recover the
amounts due for repaving between their tracks.
The total of these claims reaches about Sl50,00O,

ought not to require a suit at law, though, to
