A late estimate gives Russia peace effec-
tive of S5S,000 men and France one of 5l2,-
600, making an aggregate for what is some
times called the dual alliance, of 1870 900.
On the other hand, Germany is credited with
$4,000 men on peace footing, Austria with
$50, 900 and Italy with 100000, making an ag-
gregate of 1850. 600. Thus the opposing
forces are pretty nearly equal, with the ad-
vantage of position and faculty of concentra-
ton in favor of the triple alliance as they
are in perfect communication while France
and Russia are separated, The war footings
also show more preponderance for the dual
over the triple alliance, but there. too, the
elements of tpnction and separation are to
be kept in tniItd.

No CONTRACTION.

Referring to the proposal to retire
the legal tender notes. which is the
cardinal feature of the administration
plan of currency reform, one of the
ablcst financial papers in the country.
the New York Commercial Bulletin,
says that neither congress nor the peo-
pie may he expected to assent to any
contraction of the currency. In order to
retire the greenbacks it would be neces-
sary. under present conditions. with
the revenues of the government falling
behind the expenditures. to issue bonds.
1t is not probable that for such a pur-
pose the government could sell bonds
bearing less rate of interest than
per cent. This would burden the coun-
try with an additional annual interest
of nearly S14O00,OOO and contract the
currency to the amount of S346. 900,
taking from it the best form of paper
money we have. True it is proposed
to replace this by allowing state banks
to issue currency. but no acceptable
| plan for doing this has yet been de-
| vised. and moreover the American peo-
pie. or such of them as know anything
about state bank currency, do not
want such Il substitute for the green
| backs. 1t seems to be assured that
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
| Isle have decided to recommend legs-
lation for retiring both the greenbacks
and the Sherman notes and 1t is
