The indications that the French people are beginning to got any as to the state of their Colonial Empire, and to wonder whether it is worth the cost are still accumulating For a long time there has boen grumbling about tha, millions thrown away in Tonkia, theSpectator Sondan, and elsewhiru; but while the guns were firing in Madagascar, these voices of complaint wore mostly suppressed as un- patriotia, or even as hisulting to the army A phrase which always note in France as s complete dosree. Now, however, that the Madagascar expedition is over, that Bemory 13 more or leas, quiet, and that there is nothing active doing in Tonkin or on the Siamese fron tier, we begin to beor it hinted in the French press that after all the Colonial Empire is mora a burden than a blosing. One newspaper pro tests against any scheme for raiding the Upper Nile either from the Cubangor Obok; while another calls attention to the sams spent on the French Bondan. A work ago the République, Francate, the organ of M. Moline and the Fro- tectionists, wont even farther, and under the heading Pauvres Colonies," suggested the questions Francs getting valdo for her Amorifices in the Coloniga ? The French Colonies, mys the writer of the artiolo, uy every year one £3,800,000 worth of goods from Franco, Bat at the same time they buy £5,000,000 worth of goods from foreign countries. These figures are, howover, wore than thay look. The £8,800,000 worth of French goods are mostly destined for use in the army or by the French efloials, "and therefore are charged on the metró- politan budget." But to obtain this not very magnificent total of a £3,800,000 trade, France owns to the expenditure in good hard cash of some £8,800,000. No doubt in reality France expends infinitely more than this, for a great part of the suma, spent on the troops, and Any other items, are not included; and again, all special charge due to warlike operations are excluded. The $2,800,000 is merely the sten namidol on the votes to be the sum required every year for normal administration, and apart from extraordinary expenditure. That, ya M Méline's organ, these figures show that France speada £2,800,000 a year loget £3,800,000 worth of trade, while foreign zations got a trade of £6,000,000 a year without having a spend. a halpanay.
The moral which the Hépublique Francaise draws in that the Protsoticnist sore must be screwed even tighter in order to shat was the foreigner said to keep the French Colonial Em pirs, what it should be the happy hunting. ground of the French exporter. The plan of using the colonies aa tied-houses has long been adopted in France, but apparently thers has receatly been an attempt made to lighten the pressere of the bonde which are literally strangling certain of the Colonias. In the interests of the Colonies, and at the urgent demand of the inhabitants, some exemptions and oxooptions were lately made by the Colonial Offion. Such an infringement of the sacred right of forcing the coloniale to us nothing bat goods produced in the.mother-country is most hitterly denounced by flus Protectionists. The Répatique, Francaise speaks of the audacions debabe" held by the Chamber of Commerce at Saigon, in which the speakera iduos fear to attack French industrias 3a. their antirety, and to denounce them at given over to an immovable system of routine, and se incapable of taking the place of foreign prodnata," and complains that the chief assailant of French goods on this Occasion bas since bean, made a member of the Colonial Council. That it considers an outrage and an encouragement to the campaign against French industry and the French Customs régime, on which the whalo press of Indo- China has embarked. That the protests of the colonists are pretty strong is clear from an extract from the Mekong, an important Cochin-China newspaper, which denounces the way in which the fiscal policy pursued by France is ruining the colony. That it is ruin, ing we have no sort of donba How is it possible that a new, poor, and only semi-civilised community can bear even in a modified form. the awful burden of the French tariff a burden which oven the Franch housebolder, rich and thrifty as to is finds almost support able? The truth is the French have repro- duced the old Colonial system of the eighteenth certary in its worst form,--the system which we nover adopted in its entirely, and which the Was of Indepandonos showed us must be abandoned for a saner and less selish policy. The French burn the candle at both ends, They Bret muke the colony a burden on the mother contry, and then strangle the colony at Eome, in their eforte recoup themselves.

If the Wolker-country is involved in war, she will make far less effort to keep her Culonies, because that becomes a effort to keep up a drain on resources which arb wanted badly fight the real onemy. Again, the Colonies have no inclination to make a firm stand against invasion, Their sentimental feel- ings give way so the knowledge that separation from the mother-country will mean an Immense atimalus to trade, which will no longer be suffocated by a rigid and exclusivo tariff.
