THE BANK OF FRANCE.
Features of the New Charter, and
 French Financiering.


 The charter of the Bank of France expires next year, and is to be re- newed and extended, under the agree ment just reached for twenty three years, but with some changes. The terms agreed upon are of interest to Americans, showing the financial policy pursued by government which has been most successful in money matters and kept its credit very high in spite of heavy and burdensome debt. As for the Bank of France, it has always been exceptionally strong, having sc- cumulated the largest amount of cur rency, both gold and silver, of any of the European national banks.
 Under the new charter, the limit of the note issue is raised from four billion to five billion francs -Sl, ,00O,- 100000. The bank is to advance to the government 10000, ,000 francs free of interest, and is to renounce interest on loans made to the government in 1857 and 1878, aggregating l40, 900, 900 francs. About 1000, 900 francs of the banks notes are supposed to have been destroyed. The bauk Is not to gain by this loss of the note-holders. The government takes tho 1000, 900 francs and assumes the responsibility of re- deeming them if they are ever pre- sented. A new tax Is imposed of one eighth of the rate of discount on that part of the banks circulation classified as productive circulation" in excess of the metallic reserve. In November last this excess was about SlQU, 900, 900, the rate of discount being per cent; on such sum the tax would be S250,- 900. Various important services are to be added to those already performed for the government free of charge.
 Some of these relate to the payment of interest on the public debt and the transfer of public funds.
 The republic not only arranges bet ter terms for itself, but for the French people as well, and some of the pro visions are of decidedly sociallstic character. The bank is required to grant increased facilities to agricultural associations in the matter of loans Such associations must be allowed the same discount on their paper as mer. chants. Similar provisions, 1t may be stated, are in force with the banks of Italy, Russia and Germany. and ex- perience has shown that they are per. fectly safe. The farmers are also to be allowed representative on the gov. erDing boards of the several branches of the bank.
 Altogether it may be said that the French government has made most ad. yantageOus terms with the Bank of France, which will benefit the republic itself and the entire people. The re. public across the water seems to have been far more successful in handling its financial policy than the United States and there is no more marked contrast between the two governments than in | their treatment of the silver question. The policy adopted by the Bank of France in paying out gold and silver for notes would, if pursued in this country, have saved us from the treas ury raids, exports of gold, and various other financial settlements which | helped to preclpitate the panic and | hard times.

II Is very funny thing to see the
farmers before the Committee ON Ways
and Means asking for protection. Rep
resentatiyes of the National Grange APP
neared the other day and asked for i'll
creased duties ON everything ia inc "sIl-
c,,l,u,e schedule from milk and eggs
"a hay. To be sure. if the farmers want
protection they are as much entitled To
81 a. anybody else, but projection ON eggs
and hay will not increase the price or
these products. while protection for every
thing that the farmer buys viii make a
considerable Increase in his outlay during
the year. What the farmer wants IS an
open market for his products. and "a syS-
tenn OF taxation that will give him his
supplies at the lowest possible cost
OF course. Kansas bobs mp as usual. and
makes a scene. There are two classes of
cattle dealers before the committee. one
In favor OF protection, and the other
opposed TO II: one contending that without
tariff cattle are brought from Mexico TO
Kansas and fattencd in Kansas for the
market with more proit 10 the FARMERS
than they could obtain by raising and
fattenlng cattle on their own farms. the
other contending that there is no profit
in Mexican cattle and that the State Will
be ruined unless the Mckinley tarin of
ten dollars a head be restored.
This country would be FAR less interest
ing II there were no Kansas.
