WE'RE TEN TIMES BETTER OFF.

viviani's visit to Washington may have some
thing to do with French finances. Bankers gos-
sip Is that France, within the next month or so.
may have a financial crisis.
II you think the United States has a big prob
lem in it's national debt, take a look at France:
The total income of the French people last
year way 1913, 900, 900, 900 francs. Her cost or
government was 4S, 900. oo0, 900 francs.
That's equivalent to Uncle Sam spending $685.
900, goo, 900 a year for government, on the basis
OF the American peoples yearly income OF $685.
900. 900, oOO-the estimate of B. NJ. Anderson,
economist of the Chase National Bank, New
York.
The national debt of France, says M. Marsal,
late French minister of finance. is about 245,-
900, 900, 900 francs at par exchange. That's
other words, France is mortgaged so per cent.
Of her par value.
National wealth of the United States is about
$500, 900, 900, 900, estimates the Investor and
Trader" If we had a national debt of $245,-
900. 600, 900 we'd be in Frances boat. We're
only about ten times better off than France!
incidentally. you hear a lot OF loose talk
about the French people not being taxed heaVl-
w enoeh. According to the French commits
sion in the United States, French taxes (direct
and indirectly average the equivalent of $1l7 a
year for every man. women and child.
Is 1t any wonder France wants to put Ger
many's pocketbook through a lemon squeezer!
France has a frightful financial problem on
her hands, and this must be recognized by her
creditors, with a spirit of tolerance.

Books Of poetry rarely pay cost
of publication. Milton received
SIS for his Paradise Lost" But
poetry has a value, ever as values
are reckoned in material things.
For instance a very simple little
jingle concerning General Grant
reused a convention of supposedly
very l~evel-headed men to the Wild
est enthusiasm:
IF you ask me where he comes
from,
The answer this shall be:
He comes from Appomattox,
And the famous apple tree!"
Roscoe Conkling might have said
it in prose and it would have carried
little weight. That little Jingle had
a power which was greater than
that of eloquence.
Lee SURRENDERED April 8, 1865;
and this is the anniversary Of the
close of the Civil War.
Do you know that three of the
greatest Of social reforms. relating
to child-labor, hours of work and
the labor of women have been due
to three poems?
What are those poems?
