Cost of the Franco-Prussian War.
A WRITER in the Revue des Deux Mondes estimates at ten milliards of francs (about $2,000,000,000) the total cost to France of the war with Germany. The war indemnity alone was five milliards of francs ($1,000,000,000); the war contributions of Paris, two hundred millions of francs; requisitions in other departments, over three hundred millions. And all this besides the hundreds of thousands of men's lives destroyed, women and children made widows and orphans, and the horrors of the communism of Paris following this almost motiveless war! We, the undersigned, regard it a great privilege to donate to the Lord, for the European press, under the care of our worthy missionary, Elder J. N. Andrews, One Hundred Dollars each, and invite sixty-four others to join us in raising $10,000. James White....$100
