It will bo obeerved that while alma'
all these demands are essentially prao-
tical. certain of them, notably those
which refer to the military oontingents,
the public works in Paris, the public loans, dig
deep into the political and administrative system
of the Second Empire. As M. LIONOI Da
LACMIONE remarks, the rural districts of Franc*
demand both capital and labour. National loans
have absorbed the one; the conscription has de-
voured the other. The ElfPiaoi has continually
promised decentralisation and has repeatedly an-
nounced the completion of the "cross roads."
But he has never yet for a moment
persuaded himself to relax the pressure of the
central government, and the oroes roads are still
in the " promising " stage. The rural population
of France forms two-thirds of the entire
nation ; it has universal suffrage in its hands, if
it only knew how to use it. It demands
nothing that is inconsistent with the national
interests. The Second Empire was founded and is
still sustained by its suffrages. Yet so jealous is the
central government of any independent local
that ono of its first acts after the Coop &Nat
in 18M I% as to suppress the Central Agrioul-
tui al Congress. This Congress has lately been
permitted to revive under tho presidency of
Privy Councillor, M. Duoune nu Limes.
Will the Imperial Government have the moral
courage to consent to the demands after listening
to the grievances of this great majority of its con-
stituents, reduce an overgrown army, disperse the
•• grand agglomerations" of labour in theeities, and
slyest the vast public works of Mr. HAussMANN in
Furls? The problem is a difficult and a perilous
one : on the manner of its solution depends the
destiny of France, and perhaps the peace of
Europe. _ . -
