President of France, is twelve millions of francs a
year, (S2, 100000 which is about $192, 500 per
month, equal to s6,5so per day. So Louis Napo-
leon gets in four days pay than our President
gets in whole year; his pay for one day is more
than the annual salary Of any of the members OF

there would soon be party organized, who would
