THE TRUE CAUSES OF THE DEPRESSION I:,

THE FRENCH FUNDS are, in our opinion, the un-
sound and even dishonest practices which have
been resorted "to, with the cognizance of many
members of the Government, to give an artificial
stimulus to credit, and to create a transient and
fictitious prosperity, not based on the legitimate
production and increase of wealth. For more than

six weeks the tendency of the market in France has

been to depression, although the Government has
notoriously employed all the means at its command
to keep up prices. At the same time the excess of
private speculation in various crude schemes has
been unexampled, and the avowed object of the
increased facilities of credit granted by the Bank of
France and the Joint-Stock Banks, under the
sanction of the Government, was to encourage a
spirit of adventure to the utmost. An immense
number of lines of railroad have been conceded
and commenced; public works of every kind are
begun, with apparent indifference to the means of
paying for them, although many of these under-
takings had, from their magnitude and magnifi-
cence, been postponed by former Governments.—
