Government hnd to provido for
expenditures ill waging tho war,
and afterward in crushing the Commune.
M. Magne, t.lio Minister of Finance, in
his Knot report to the French Parlia
ment, states the actual coat of waging
the war at $500,000,000, and the loss of
revenno in 1870. ’71, ’72 and ’73, caused
bj the war, nt $250,000,000. The nation
al drbt luu been increased since July,
1870, much more than tho German in
demnity and the cost of resistance, 1 ■*-
cause tbo money had to be raised by tho
sale of bonds nt ft beavy discount. Tlio
Kinds now form a part of the national
debt, and draw 5 per cent interest. Tho
money was
onTAI'.’I’.II IN TBS FOLLOWINO MANNER:
Tho first $150,000,000, subscribed for
at tho outbreak of tho war, sold for near
ly par. The next wns tlio Morgan loan, of
} 100,000.000, negotiated in England,
when tlio Gormans had crushed the
French into tho dust. It sold for loss
than 80 per cent, and is costing 7 -1-10
per cent on the money realized. The
$1,000,000,000, German fine was raised hy
two national subscription-!, wliich real
ized about 83 percent' on the money re
ceived.
Then thoro woro several loans from
TIIK 1IANK OF FRANCK,
aggregating $300,000,000, at 1 per cent.,
to bo repaid in installments, or annuities,
of $10,000,000 per annum. Tho reason
for obtaining this immense loon from the
Lank nt ho low a rate of interest should
bo explained. Tlio Government first
authorized the hank to suspend spocio
payments ; second, to increase its notes
to the nuiount of the loan; third, tho
notes were made a legal tender, receiva
ble hy tlio Government for nil taxes and
dutux, and a legal tender for tho pay
ment of debts of all kinds.. In con
sideration of those extraordinary privi
leges, tlio hank agreed to cliorgo tho
Government only 1 per cent, interest on
the note* loaned to it, to be repaid, as
above stated, in something less than
right year*.
lleforo tlio war, tho Bonk of Franco
had $325,000,000 to $350,000,000 of notes
in circulation, a)id held in -its vanlts
$225,000,000 to $2S0,000,000 of coin for
their redemption. The bank now has
$1 Id.OOO.OOO of coin on hand, and $(100,-
000,000 of notes in circulation. The
amount varies more or loss. Tho maxi
mum issue of notes is $010,000.000, so
that the full quantity permitted by law
is net nt this time in circulation. I
believe tliero is a stipulation that, as fast
the Government repays its loan to tho
lank, a like amount of notes shall be
tucclcd; nnd, as tho Government has re
funded to the bonk tho first “annuity”
of $10,000,000, I suppose that neeonnts
for the apparent contraction of a like
amount below tho maximum limit.
The money borrowed to extinguish the
German line, and to defray the expenses
of the war, and loss of revenue, amounted
to $1,85(1,000,000. But os the bonds sold,
on which tho money was procured, only
realised an average of S5 per cent, of
their face, the addition to the bonded
debt of France «s several hundred mill
ions more than that sum. As nearly os

vhere they can get the best security and !
highest rate of usance. The French loan ’
abroad comparatively little of their sur- I

to invest it at home or hoard it.
I think it has now been explained how :

$1 ,100,000,1 «X) in coin to pay off the Ger- j
man fine in two-and-a-hnlf years, with

and were sold to the highest bidders, and

tho latter purchasing on speculation" for
a rise’, nnd then reselling to the farmer,.
The great bulk of these Rentes have
found their way into the pockets of the
French farmers. It was found, when the
temptation was placed befero them, that
nearly every farmer in France had a se
cret hoard of £old "Xapoleons" and 5
fame allver coia*. of ilia

which he cun spare and is willing to con

It is shown that there h:is been added
to tlio previous debt of France a sum
equal to tho present national debt of
tlk' United States. The six mouths’ w.vr

national debt, adding nearly $100,000,000

ASTONISlUNO TO OONTKMl'LATE.
It is quite true that tho cost of the
*ZT, aside from the Gorman confiscation,
Was expended within France, and is not
'ost to the capital of the nation, except
to tho extent that it represents property
consumed and destroyed by the war. But
the German fine, levied on tho nation
(*nd on Paris), amounting, with interest,
to nearly $1*100,000,000. had to be raised
and sent out of the country. As the
whole gold and silver coin in circulation
in France, at the time of the conclusion
of the war, wax supposed not to exceed
StXXMXXXOOO. lira little more than half
the indemnity, haw was Franco able to
land over to Germany, in two years and
* half, $1,070,000,000 in coin ; for it was
Paid in solid gold, every franc of it ? I
‘hall try and explain
ROW Tltn FEAT WAS ACCOIWISI! Kl*.
In the first place—When the Govern
ment borrowod from the Bank of France
tJOfiOOO.OOO, and authorized tho bonk to
“sue a like amount of note9 in addition
to its former circulation, it liberated from
circulation an equal amount of coin which
^ns no longer required for the transac
tion of business, ns the new notes perform
its functions.
Second—Tho Government not only
niade the notes of tho bank a legal-tender
*°r rieryihiiuj, including interest on the
{JJtional debt, nnd for duties on imports,
‘'/'■‘‘Authorized the bank to enspeihl spe-
rie payments. The effect of this first
*et wto enable the hank to part with
half its usual stock of coin and bullion,
Hfid this set at liberty $150,000,000 more
8°ld and silver.
Here, then, was a double fund of spe-
' 0, amounting to $•450,000,000, which
'"ul l bo spared without deranging the
aan.-os of tho nation, and sufficient to
' Itinguisli more than forty per cent, of
and interact thereon.
Hurd—The money was procured by
l-UBMC SUBHCBimONB,
,!!. lffo 'cans of about $5-10,000,000 «ieh.
t-.uils issutsl are railed rentes. In
fact or amount little was known. The
common people of France rarely deposit
their money in savings-banks or any
where else except in an earthen crock in
the ground. But every Frenchman, no
matter what hie politics or religiiaz—
whether he be a Royalist, a Republican,
or a Communist; a Catholic, a Protest
ant ora Skeptic—has absolute confidence
in the solvency of his Government, and
is willing to loan his last franc, shirt, or
pair of subote. The subscriptions for tho
national loan to liberate France from the
occupation of the hated and abhorred
I/AUemagne (German) amounted to
FOUR OR FIVE TIMES
tho sum required; and, at all places
whero tho looks were opened to receive
projsvsaK for routes, therd were great
crowds, much excitement and contention,
and a scrambling rush first to reach tho
1 looks, For twenty-four hours in advance
of the time for opening them, long lines
of women hel<i their places, regardless of
rain or heat, wind or weather, and impa
tiently waited for tho signal for the pro
cession to movo upon the book* and make
their offerings of so many hundred or
thousand francs each; for, in making
those subscriptions, the women managed
tho business, as they do pretty much
every other business in France—tho men
standing helplessly idle, and watching
their spouses with that footing which the’
INFERIOR HAS FOR THE SDI'ERIOS.
Fifth—It was demonstrated by tho re
sult of tho offerings, and the facta that
came to light, that tho French farmers
alone had more gold nnd silver hoardod
away and secreted in unknown spots than
wonld suffice to discharge the whole Ger-
nmu fine anil tho cost of the war besides.
It had long been a mystery what hnd be
come of the steady stream of tho precious
metals which, for tho Lost fifty or sixty
years, had poured into France. Some said
tlioy hod been re-exported in the shape of
jewelry, gilding, and ornaments; and
others bad magnified the amount of coin
in circulation and in the banks. But the
truth Is, tlio French peasantry, and shop
keepers and mechanics had hoarded it hy
the hundreds, ana perhaps thousands, of
millious. Tlio women of France hold the
purso-Htrings. They nro sharp and eco
nomical beyond American conception, in
dustrious to a degree of which American
women hare no idea, close, saving, stingy,
and acquisitive. Slowly, day hy day,
month hy month, and year hy year, the
little siuplus Eavinjjw and self-denials of
each good dame and her family go on ac
cumulating and increasing, and aro care
fully converted into tho indestructible
precious metals, ami
BURIED IN THE OROUND,
or hid in tho wall of tho cottage, and
kept th^ro with all the sccretivcness of
Free Masonry. Only on occasions of
marriages or purchase of land is any part
of those hoards ever touched. For the
former, a certain amount comes forth
from its hiding placo to pay tho stipu
lated marriage dowry of tho daughter of
fortune given tho son; and then tho
money only sees the daylight for a day,
for tho now owners instantly lay it away,
and begin the labor of married life to
earn money, save it, and add to tho pat
rimonial hoards.
Sixth—France is the
MOST 8KLV-8UITORTINO NATION
in Europe or tho world. Her exports al
ways exceed her imports largely, and this
balance is exacted in tho precious metals,
and not in raw materials, as in Great
Britain. Paris is tlio fashionable capi
tal of the world, the Empress of fomalc-
dotn; anil to her slirino they come or
send their offerings from all the nations
of tho earth. Paris sets the fashions and
changes them at pleasure, and as often
as the changes of the moon or tho direc
tion of the winds. All that is costly,
useless, flimsy and flaming in tho female
wardrobe and toilet, is manufactured in
France, and sold in Paris to tho woidd's
butterflies; while the fop element of the
masculine persuasion are also provided
with thoir stunning styles of dress by tho
French j and the whole champagne-drink
ing fraternity purchase their costly car
bonic acid and cider in France.
France imports
NO J1RKADSTUFFS OR MEATS.
except a little at long intervals when her
crops aro short, as happens to bo the case
this year; hut nearly always she has n
surplus of wheat, beef and mutton, which
is exported across the channel to Eng
land, whero it finds a ready market at
high prices. Franco imports less sugar
or molasses than she exports, except from
her own colonies. She produces enor
mous quantities of sugar and molasses
from the beet-root—enough for domestic
consumption, and n surplus to export.
France imports no silk, except iu the raw
state, and produces most of the raw ma
terial within her own borders, and then
manufactures it into a thousand forms of
fabrics and tissues, and sells $100,000,000
or $200,000,000 worth of it to all tho fe
males of the world, after supplying her
own very moderate and sparing #onsump-
tion. France manufactures the great
hulk of her own iron, and nearly every
thing made therefrom in tho form of
steel nnd iron implements, railroad
tracks, engines, ships, etc. AVhilo the
coal-measures of France are scant, she
manages to avoid importation from Eng
land to any great extent. The domestic
fuel of Franco is wood, burned with an
economy that makes one shiver on a cold
day. Tree, are
AS CARXrULLT TLANTED AND GROWN
in France as beets or wheat, or any other
product. France grows nearly all the
wool required for domestic consumption
and export, in the shape of cloths, except
certain coarse varieties used to mix with
the native fine fleeces, and purchased
cheaply in Australia and South America,
in exchange for gimcracks and toilet ar
ticles.
The French produce their own liquors
—wines and brandy—and export tens of
millions of dollars' worth to other na
tions. (They drink no whisky and hut
little beer; they call the former Amer
ican poison and the latter nasty German
soup, and neither of them fit for the hu
man stomach.)
The skin of every boast and four-
footed animal is converted into leather.
They utilize tho hides of all the horses,
asses, mules, cattle, calves, deer, sheep,
lambs, goat*, kids,
HOGS, DOGS, CATS, RATS,
foxes, wolves, rabbits and other animals,
wild or domestic, and sell the products
to aH the world in the shape of French
calf and kid boots and^hoes and morocco
wear and gloves by the million gross.
They make sparing use of these articles
for themselves, but wear wooden shoes,
more genetmUy than anything else,
through the rural districts and among
thepooror classes of the cities and towns.
Thy imports of France consist
almost wholly
of raw materials, purchased to bo con
verted into fabrics, mainly for exporta
tion abroad, except tobacco, which is a
government monopoly, and is sold at an
enormous profit, whereby a very large
revenue is derived. The chief articles of
import are raw cotton from America and
cotton-yarn from England, raw and floss
silk, wool, timber, coal, coffee, tea and
tobacco.

_ The pride of the nation has
been chastened; egotism lias received a I
terrible fall; vanity has been pricked; I

Eveiy dollar of the debt of France,
which now exceeds that of Great Britain,

citizens. Tho rentes are diffused all over j
.the nation. Almost every farmer own- j
some of them, and hoards them with the |
same tenacity with which ho clings to hi;
gold Napol -on3.
The “Morgan loan” of ?liiu,CWi,'»v,
taken hy the English to help the French
out of their troubles, lias all been bought
up, and is now held in France. It is true
tho war has increased taxes hy 25 per
cent, and diminished revenue in tho pro
portion the two captured provinces of
Alsace and Lorraine bore to the whole
nation; but this loss can be borne. Be
fore tho war, the necessary revenue of
Franco wero something loss than $300,-
000,000 per annum; the taxes now pro
duce $370,000,000, and there is still a de
ficiency of nearly $36,000,000. to bo pro
vided by additional taxes. Onc-half of
the total revenue is required to pay in
terest on the enormous debt; but, as the
rentes are owned and held by most of the
tax-payors, it is much the same as taking
money out of one pocket and putting it
into the other.
One would suppose that, witlvthis ad
dition of nearly $100,(100,000 a year fr> the
annual budget, the French Administra
tion
WOULD INAUGURATE ECONOMY;
retrench at every point by cutting off
thousands of sinecure oflioes. discharging
surplus employes, and, nhove all, hy re
ducing the army to a peaoo-footing. But
nothing of the kind has been done or
proposed. There are on the pay-rolls of
the army to-day more than 500,000 armed
men, stationed iii garrisons all over
France and Algeria, of whom 30,000 gar
rison Paris, and 05,000Aro-kept in Alge
ria. Tbo cost of tho War Department
for 1873 will bo $00,000,000, and of the
Navy Department $31,000,000—making
together $121,000,000 os the cost of the
standing army and navy in time of. pro
found peace.

THE &UJLSCX OF TBODE
derived from foreign commerce, between
1850 and 1860, averaged $70,000,000 per
annum. 8inoe then it has averaged
$100,000^000. This is exclusive of the
profits made on goods sold at retail to
the multitudes of foreigners, including
Americans, who swarm over France, and
the profits mode on commerce which the
worthless officers have been waeded out j
a stricter discipline has been introduced;
and the muster rolls no longer bear the
names of fictitious soldiers, with ^official
bummers drawing pay and rations for
those imaginary warriors, as was the case
under the late Empire. The German
system of tactics nnd combinations is be
ing carefully studied by the light of their
late disastrous experience. Tho National
Guard of Paris is disbanded, and the
whole population disarmed, so that there

NEXT STECGGIE WITH THE GERMANS,
for the recovery of’ the dismembered
provinces. The French say that Bismarck
and Holtke, and other great leaders, will
die before long, as they are old men; and
that Germany will enter ujion tho next
war inflated with" vanity nnd pride, half-
prepared and half-marshaled, as Franco
was in 1S70, which will result in a scries
of defeats and humiliations. This may
or may nor be the case: but one thing is
certain, that tho fighting witnessed dor-:
ing the late war was
MERE CHILD'S PLAY
compared with tho fighting that will bo
done in. tlio next war by France, who will
enter upon it with the fires of a volcano
burning in her breast. All that rage and
hatred added to valor and discipline, can
accomplish, will bo achieved. If France
is beaten next time, it will Be’ in despite
of tho most careful and perfect prepara
tion, and after her mightiest efforts have
been exhausted.
I have spoken of the wonderful ease
with which the people of France raised
the money to liquidate the German “in
demnity,” and given some explanations
thereof; but there remains one reason
not yet named, which should not be
omitted. The bulk of the money was
contributed by the Frencli farmers, and
they were able to subscribe it because
THEY OWNED THE LAND
they cultivate, and pay no rents to a
landed aristocracy, such as that which
monopolizes tlio land of Great Britain and
Ireland. The money which the British
and Irish fanners have to pay to the land
lords, the French hold in their possession,
and were able to loan it to .the Govern
ment in the day of need. Suppose the
Germans had invaded Groat Britain and
conquered it. and then exacted a ransom
of several hundred millions of pound ster
ling in gold—how much of the money
rould the English and Irish tenant-farm
ers have subscribed and paid to liberate
the island ?

MANUFACTURED BY
Langdale’s Chemical Manure Company
(LIMITED.)
NEWOASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Has tlie following Powerful Recommendations for Planters
It is a genuine English made STannre. the only one in tho market, and manu
factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tons annu
ally, and lias the most eitensive works of tlie kind in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 24 years. The Lancdale, therefore, has a irood pedigree and is no
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of Qotton, than any other fertilizer offered in tfie
South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in the market.
The analysis given with the Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall
he no mistake about the genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of the vendors.
It is the? cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use ill
becoming filant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. The
test of cheapness is not tho price, but tho actual worth of the article purchased.
Low-priced Manure*; cannot Contain efficient quantities of pure nnd valuable chemi
cals, which can alone give woith to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. The
Lnngdale is as low in price as is consistent with tho uso of tho best ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
The employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre
dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. Tho Lang-
dalc is unequalled in this respeet, and impresses every one who sees it ivs a perfectly
manipulated Manuro.
In its composition and preparation it is the result of careful scientific research
and.experimeut, confirmed hy practical application; for a quarter of a century. It
will be maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have
‘eng wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
