The North American Notes and Quer-
les, new Canadian periodical, says the
first printing press in Montreal was set
up by Benjamin Franklin in 1775, in or
der to print manifestoes appealing to
the Canadians to cast their lot with the
colonies further south. The press was
not long in operation, and was removed
to the United States, but the vault in
which it was set up is still standing. 1T
is in the Chateau de Ramezay, a quaint
old building whose history is contem-
porary with that of the city, and which
is carefully preserved as relic of the
French regime in New France. Frank
Inns idea from the first was to include
Canada in the Confederation and he
wished to include Ireland as well. His
journey to Canada later, however, con-
WINGED him that there was no possibility
of the Canadian possessions joining in
the revolt.

A French newspapers says that the
question of arming the French cavalry
with lances is still under discussion and
gives the following information as to
the arms carried by the cavalry of 9TH
er nations: In England thirty-one cav
airy regiments carry sabre and carbine;
six regiments of lancers have the lance
in addition seven regiments Of dra-
goons have recently been supplied with
the lance for the front rank only. In
Italy twentyfour cavalry regiments
carry sabre and carbine, the latter with
a bayonet a foot long; the ten lancer
regiments carry lance in addition. In
Germany the ninety-three cavalry regi-
ments are all armed with sabre car
bine and lance. In Austria the forty
two cavalry regiments carry sabre and
carbine; the eleven regiments of
Uhlans, who used to carry lance, have
ceased to do so. In Russia the 119 cav
airy regiments carry sabre and carbne;
the fifty-eight dragon regiments have
no lance, but their carbine has q bayo-
net about five inches long; in thirty
eight regiments Of Cossacks the men

their senses.
Is there any popular demand for the
retirement of the S346, 000, 900 of green
backs, thereby contracting the curren-
cy by that amount? Who says that we
have too much money now? Let it
never be forgotten that this bill prac-
tically retires the grecnbacks and that
that is it's prime object, for nobody but
a natural.bor fool will be deceived by
the euphemistic term "inpounding."
The fondest dream of the national
bankers for years has been to retire
the greenbaCks, and at last their dream
is to be realized. Greenbacks are 10
be paid ont for gold, are they2 Tell
that tale to the marines. The bankers
have all the gold now, and they will
never permit it to be exchanged for
greeubacks in large quantities. They
are not simpletons, even if Republican
Congressman are. make this predic-
ton now, without fear of successful
contradiction, that after this bill be-
comes a law greenbacks in the hands
of the people will be scarce as hens
teeth-like angels visits, few and far
between. a few of the one dollar
greenbaCks, for he sake of auld lang
syne, will be retained, framed, and
displayed as curiosities to our children
as samples of the money that saved
the life of the Republic in the awful
period of the civil war; but nearly all
the greenbacks will remain forever in
their long home-the newly created
division of issue and redemption"
Do the great body of the people
wish the Government to abdicate its
paramount function ahd to deliver the
nations prosperity, perhaps its life,
unreservedly and absolutely into the
hands of the National Bankers Asso-

rights which we temporarily hold in
trust for the people that they will rue
this day.
recall to their memories the start
ling fact that in 1895, when Great
Britain was engaged in a death strug-
gle with Napoleon, the governors of
| the Bank of England emphatically,
reasonably, and CURLY in a six-line
letter, informed the Younger Pitt that
he could have no more money from
that institution with which to fight the
wonderful warrior whose towering am
bition was universal dominion. Give
to our national banks all power over
our currency, as this bad bill proposes
to do, and perhaps, indeed most likely,
in some crisis of our country's fate,
when we are engaged in a death strug-
gle with some great power, it may be
with all the great powers of the world
they, too. will play the traitors part
