Paris is suffering from a gold famine- quite a common thing when rumours of note, you will get plenty of silver pieces and next to no gold coins, and this is the case almost everywhere. The French peasants are noted to be both thrifty and wealthy it is they really who have the most gold, by them. Wherever they can they change paper money or bank-notes and silver into gold. Thus, to-day, they are held partly responsible for the scarcity of gold coins. The mint is in no way to blame, for last year it coined more gold than silver pieces.
