?
laws relative 10 the caSSeS dc retrate and mutual
relief which you have voted will exercise the most
salutGry influence on the condition OF the working
classes The organization of societies of patron
nge--the most usetUl auxiliary OF the Admlnistra'
ton in the double interest of morality and public
security-hoepitals charitable establishments,
have been the objects OF our special soictudo.
The best destination possible has been given 10
the funds from relief.
A project has been in course Of formation for
many years past with the view Of procuring los
the communes ali the benefit thatcan be procured
for waste lands
The roads, the source OF prosperity for the raral
districts receive constant ame0ratons which
tend to complete the ensemble OF rural communlca-
tons.
The last message expressed the desire Of seeing
the suppression OF payment in kind. The Nation
al Assembly has already had before it propositions
relative to this object The Councils General,
when consulted, decide in great measure tor the
maintenance Of the preStutioH en- nature rather
than for its suppression. But to maintain the
proportionality of the impost, without diminishing
the necessary resources, is f problem difficult to
resolve
The financial condition of the conmunes is in a
state of Improvement, but the Government moder-
ates their excessive desire to vote local expenses.
The new telegraphic lines voted by the law Of
the 10th OF February last are in course of eXecu-
ton. They are acting from Paris to Tours, TO
y
tend them still more The law on private teIe-
graphs submitted at this moment TO the Assembly
requires q prompt solution.
The Government has exercised indulgence
whenever it could do so without danger Thus,
since the month OF June, 1912 2,400 cOnvcts have
bee set at liberty without danger to public tran
guilty. There remain only 45s, who haze been
sent to Algeria. There still remain, unhapplly,
without counting the June COnvlcts, 3l9 persons
condemned for political otienses in the prisons OF
no of Iolp tha
had aggravated the condition Of the prisoners.
The decree Of the 9th January, 1919, has not
remedied the evil 4 project OF law which pre-
serves the interests OF society aud those OF the
prisoners, has been submitted to the Council OF
! State. When it is adopted the Government will
utilize as much as possible this numerous class in
agricultural works The well being and the morals
OF the adult prisoners, the cellular penitentiary
| system, the improvements of the regime OF the
central prisons, continue to be studedin serious
manner; and soon the Government will demand
| from the Assembly the means OF creating model
agricultural colonies for these adults, in virtue OF
| the law of the 9Th of August.
A project of law will be presented to you TOR
the relief of the remains OF our armies OF the he
public and the Empire, who are now without re.
sources, political events having deprived them OF
their rights, and becauseit is unworthy of great
! nation to leave such men any longer in state OF
misery.
FINANCES
The ensemble of this policy has considerably i'm
proved our financial situation
The accounts of ls48 have been submitted to
/ you, and you have been made acquainted with
! the defnitive condition of that budget.
1t was for moment thought that the budget OF
1879, by reason of certain circumstances, untore-
seen at the moment it was voted would impose
on the Treasury a charge of about 10000 000l
Thanks to the progress of the revenue and to the
economy introduced in the different services, this
| deficit, it may be now affirmed will be reduced
to nearly l00,000,0O0,
EVERYTHING leads US to hope that the presumed
deficit of the budget OF 1850 will be senslby d.
minished, and that the equilibrium announced for
1851 will he realized; the ascending progress OF
| the indirect revenue is sustained; the first nine
months of 1850, compared with the corresponding
months OF last year, give an advantage OF more
! than q, 000,000t The indirect contributions the
tariffs of which have not been modified and
which stand for more than l6,000,000f IN this in
crease, attest the resumption OF affairs and the
ameioration IL the condition of the working
classes.
Peace and internal order have produced other
fruits. The funds deposited in the Savings B anks
from the LIST Of January, 1a49, exceed the with
| drawas by G9,000,000f.
The amount of the portfolio of the Bank which
had successfully fallen beneath lO0,O00OO0t is
raised, and on the 7th OF the present month it
passed the sum Of l35, 000, 000f By suppressing
| the forced circulation of bank notes, you have
! had reason to count on the reestabllshmcnt OF
confidence. and facts have fully justified this grave
measure. The return to the primitive statues
has reduced neither the extent nor the Importance
| of the circulation.
If the produce Of the Customs has experienced
some diminution, the difference arises from acct
| dental causes which you all know and which are
reteTrible to salt and colonial sugars; but consd-
cred in the whole, our international commerce,
! after serious depression in l84S, was raised IN
l849 by It rapid and sustained movement Alb
stenton made of the extraordinary introduction
of grain in l847, we are in advance this very
wear both as to the value OF the imports and ex-
! ports and the number and tunnagc OF ships.
The collection of direct contributions 10 being
executed with remarkable punctuallty. On the
Sd of Sept last third of the 18th only was IN ar
rear; THIS is much less than in periods oil greater
| prosperity.
These happy changes in the totaty of financial
facts will have permitted from 18l9 to 1851, that
is to saw for the space of three years. in spite OF
the reduction of many important taxes, to endoW
the country with nearly 26O,0OO,0Oo worth OF pub
lie works to relieve the lower classes OF traders,
to remit 81 100000 to agriculture to pay punctu-
ally ali the expenses of the budgets in deficit
and to arrive at length, as is our earnest desire
and our firm hope to establish balance between
the annual charges and resources OF the State
These results will have been obtained without
requiring an extraordinary AID from credit and
without imposing on the Treasury exaggerated
advances.
The country, gentlemen has undoubtedly the
sentiment of this improved situation. Each has
heen enabled to recognize that the finances OF the
State, which last year figured in the first rank in
the preoccupations of public opinion, are at this
day very far from inspiring the same apprehen-
sions / announce with satisfaction this progress.
1t is the recompense of the good spirit OF the pop
ulation and OF the common efforts OF the Govern
ment and of the Assembly twill be an encour-
agement for all of US. RI,
After issuing from the unpleasant system of the
provisional twclfths, the Government has thought
its honour interested in reenterng completely INTO
a more regular course: r.,
The budget of 1851 has been voted at useful
period and that of 1852 will be presented to you
