an onjict usisit in Finance.
In the midst of the prevailing finan
cial depression which is paralyzing
business all over this country, the
law-making powers of the American
people will find a most timely object
lesson he)d out to them by the finan
cial system which bas done so much
for the Republic of France.
Under her present financial system
France has not only paid the immense
expense of the Franco-Prusslan war
and its heavy indemnity, but the
country, with not half the natural
resources enjoyed by the people of the
United States, Is prosperous.
And there are no financial panics in
France. Such a thing as a financial
panio is impossible under the excellent
system of that country. The system
is one by which the currency expands
or contracts on the natural principle
of supply and demand. And, by the
very nature of the system, the demand
for money Is real and never fictitious,
and the supply suflloient to meet all
the requirements of ligitlmate trade
and business.
What is the financial system of
France?
It Is very simple, ns wo understand
it, and tills question oan be nnswered
in a few words: The government or
Frace issues the money nnd does a
general banking business with the
people. At the option of tho holder
and as often ns he pleases, he oan con
vert Ills money into bonds benrlng
threo hundred and sixty-five one-
hui.dredths per cent. Interest per
annum. Thus every mnn with a sur
plus of money becomes a lender to the
government until such time ns he
chosen to convert Ills holdings Into
cash again, nnd the currency of the
country expands nnd contracts accord
ing to the natural demand tlint there
may be for it.
Under this system the only contrac
tion of tho currency possible. is
through thu government, an so, also,
with reference to expansion. Ficti
tious valuations ns tho result of a
plethora of money in the linnds of the
people nru quite ns improbnhle or im
possible as n shrinkage of vntucs
would bn from n direotly opposite
cause, under this system.
IIow vnstly different from our sys
tem in this country I Here we are
subjeot to panics almost nt the discre
tion of n few men, nnd are never free
from the fluctuations nnd wreckngc of
speculation.
Would It not he well for our law
makers to investignto the French sys-‘
tern of llnatice with tho view of adopt
ing It in lieu of such makeshifts ns tho
Sherman silver purchase law?
ID WOMAN THE HOMING MAN V
From the London Truth.
Is womnn the coming mnn? This
paradoxical question I ask In no spirit
of frivolity. Ours Is thu age of major
lties, nnd It is notorious that, men, ns
oompared with women are In a hope
less minority. Concede, then, the claim
for Woman HufTrage—a measure which
cannot now for long be rejected—and
the reduction of man becomes a mere
matter of time. Within tho last quar
ter of a century thu displacement of
man by womnn In most of the ordi
nary occupations of lifo has been re
markable.
Thus you will perceive that the poll
tlelnns, priests, soldiers, dootors, mer
chants nnd bnnkers of tho future must
assuredly be women. Mnn has bad Ills
day. Superstition, ignorance nnd op
pression have enabled him to usurp
and to hold for mnny centuries the po
sition which, by right of character,
and by the design of nnture, was in
tended for woman. Hers is the sex of
refinement, whilst man is merely the
human beast of burden.
Realizing this, I propose tlint we
shall at once prepare to assume those
household nnd other humhic duties
which, up till now, have been reserved
for women. A man cook is notoriously
more skillful than a woman cook. Here
we have, then, an Immediate opening
for n very army of disestablished males.
A man nursery-maid would obviously
be more suitable than the young girls
that are now employed in this arduous
work. lie would be better capable of
protecting the children, more tilted
physically to trundle the perambula
tors, to oarry the heavy infants, as also
better able to exert authority over bis
youthful charges. As dressmakers and
milliners, too, every circumstance
points to the male ns the right sex to
undertake these occupations.
lv any one believes the 1Ikiiai.i> is
going to mince political matters in
the coming tight, Just watch and see.
Thkiik is no good reason why the
civil service law doesn’t mean the
same thing under a Democratic ad.
ministration as under a Republican.
The postotlioes need attention.
Poor old silver. It gets it in the
neck nearly every day. The latest
blow oomes from India, where the
mints have been closed against the
free ooinage of silver. This, it is
olalnsed, cannot fail to depress the
price of the metal, and should con
clusively settle the question of the re
peal of the United States silver pur
chase act. This action on the part of
the Indian government may have the
effect of hastening the day for an
extra session of Congress in this
country.

Banks that are solvent are suspend
ing at) over the oountry, and men who
have property and whose credit is un
questioned are unable to borrow
money.
Such Is the financial condition of
the country to-day, and yet we are
told that there is plenty of money in
the oountry.
It is argued by some that it is not
money, but confidence that is needed,
while there are others who contend
that the prevailing stringency is due
to the fact that there Is not enough
available currency to do the business
of the country—that an increase of
currency Is what is most desirable.
It matters not which of these views
Is the correct one, there can be no
doubt of the fact that we are ‘n the
midst of a great financial crisis, pnd
that the country is sutfering greatly
under the depressing effects of It.
Something is manifestly wrong with
our financial system when solvent
banking Institutions are forced to sus
pend for the want of currency, and
when individuals with both property
and credit cannot .obtain money on
either or both.
The Hkiiai.d Is of the opinion that
the entire financial system of this
country neads overhauling and revis
lug about as much as thu tariff does,
and tho Democratic party stands
pledged to the one as much as to the
other. The remedy for the present
llnnncinl depression can be applied by
Congress alone, and the longer the
party in power defers the important
work that Is essential to a restoration
of confidence and a revival of pros
purity the worse it will be for the
party nnd the country.
Why President Cleveland persis
tently refuses to call Congress to.
gether for the purpose of repealing
the Hherman silver purohnse law nnd
giving some sort of fiiinnclnl relief to
the country is hnrd to understand, un
less we put it upon the ground that he
is still n goldbug in sympathy with
Wall street, and wants to defer the
administration of the “bitter pill” pre
scribed by tho Democrntlo platform
upon which he was elected, as long us
possible.

The week’s outlook has been muoli
more encouraging tliun discouraging
in the Houth, says the llaltimore Man
ufacturer's Record. Business is re
ported 110 worse nt the various trade
centers. New York and Baltimore
bankers say that there is a small
amount of money ealled for by their
Southern correspondents lis compared
with the West. The excellent condl
tlon of the former banks is shown in
the artiote on bank suspensions de
tailed elsewhere. Railwny securities
have improved slightly, but tho re
ports of increases on the largo South
ern systems show what they are doing
for their shareholders. The rush to
the Columbian exposition has begun.
The receipts so far for June average
$55,000 daily, expenses $10,400. All the
railway lines are Increasing the num
her of passenger trains, and the South
ern roads are getting their share of
business, whioli promises to be enorm
ous in July and August. Money is at
a low rate of interest in London, and
English investors continue buying
Louisville and Nashville and other
good stooks. The Drexels new con
trol 4,500 out of 0,000 miles of Rich
mond Terminal through securities de
posited with them,nnd the reorganiza-
tlon is assured.
The gold movement seems to linve
changed. Baring, Magoun & Co., of
New York nnnounoe that they will
import $500,000 in gold this month.
The geld in the treasury has increased
$5,000,000 In tile last three weeks, and
none lins been .exported for a fort
night.
The two principal failures in the
South during the past week were a
sayings bank in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and the Bank of Hanover at Wilming
ton, N. C. The Chattanooga suspen
sion was oaused by .a run oreated by
the dosing of a penny bank with onlj
$8,000 deposits. Tile band of New
Hanover was unable to realize at onoe
on good paper and closed its doors. It
is reported the depositors are fully
protected. Had the average contl-
dence in financial institutions pre
vailed neither suspension would have
been reported.
Thk IIkhai.1) never needs anything
to “fill up with” unless there is news
in it.
Skvrxty-foitr per cent, of all the
Congressmen have declared themselves
in favor of the repeal of the Sherman
silver act. This shows that there is
no reason why an extra session should
not be called at once. But President
Cleveland says the party needs time in
which to decide what to do. That
may be good politics, but it is not
good sense.
Almost everybody in the United
States bas heard of Hermann, the ma
gician. He remarked the other day
that he had lost over $75,000. When
asked bow it happened be replied:
“Well, it was oh Wall street that I lost
it; a magician has no showing there.’
When tlie great Hermann cannot cope
with Wall street, it shows there is
more than-apt to be sdmething wrong.
