An KiiL'llbli obsi'iMM * has iccently given

month of November the Denies of Fieiieh
imports and expoits show a decline ol tlft.-
IHXIOOU as eompaied with the ssme month

sides of the account. Them Is no
doubt that Fiance Is apptoachlng a
ci Ns In eommeicial and Dnancl.d all airs ,
and one that will long be lelt by the Flench
people. The causes which are slowly and
suiely bringing about this state of alf.ilis aio
seveial , but the most piomlnenl one Is the
extravagance ot the goveinment dining the
past seveial vears. The government , since
MacNlaUon lettied to piivato life ,
has built thousands ot miles ol iin-

know what to do with their money , and as it
could not liml aupiolitable employment In

and the most ingenious book Itccjiing has not
