SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR OF FRANCE,
A! tie opening of the French Parliament, March 2, 1854

@ GENTLEMEN SENATORS AND GENTLEMEN DEPUTIES:
Since your last session two questions you are aware
have occupied the attention Of the Countrywide INSULT
cheney Of the last harvest and the external difficulties
But these questions hasten to declare already inspire
infinitely less apprehension, because, notwithstanding
their gravity their extent may be measured and limited
The insuthciency of the harvest was estimated at
about millions of hecolitres of wheat representing
value of nearly three hundred millions Of francs and
the ladng Of 1000 vessels. Could the Government
derake the purchase of these ten millions of hectores
every point of the globe, in order to sell them after
wards in all the markets Of France? Experience and
prudence affirmed clearly enough that such measure
would have been encompassed with embarrassments of
inSurmountable character, and with inconvenience
aud dangers without number Private enterprise alone
possessed the financial and material of efecting
so great an operation The Government consequently
adopted the only that practicable; it
ragged freedom of transactions by delivering the
trade from every impeachment The elevated price Of
article necessary to the general amentaton Of the
country is without doubt calamity but it neither
possible desirable to cvade it as long the deficiency
not provided for for if the price Of wheat had been
lower in France than in the crcumadao countries the
foreign markets would have been supplied at the expense
of ours. .. .a. .-". at."
"rhat state of things nevertheless certain to pro-
duce situation of difficulty which could only be combat
ed by activity of employment or by private charity
The Government therefore applied ITSELF from the COM
encement CT the year, to opening credits which, EXCEED
ing by few millions only the resources Of the budget,
will with the cooperation of the communes and of the
various companies, the execution OF mass Of
public works estimated at nearly four millions of francs
without reckoning two millions appropriated by the Min
lister Of the Interior to charitable establishments.
al recommend above all to your attention the system
adopted by the city Of Paris for if extends and
trust it will to the whole Of France it will for the future
prevent in the price of corn those extreme variations
which, in times of abundance, agriculture to Lam
guish in consequence of the low price Of wheat and in
years Of scarcity force the poorer classes to suffer
greatly from its excessive dearness.
That system consists in establishing in all the great
of population institution of credit under the
name of Casse de Boulangerie which can give during
the months Of year of dearth bread price infinitely
inferior to the official quotation condition of paying
little dearer for it in years Of fertility These latter
being in general numerous is easy to conceive
that the compensation between the two can be effected
with facility. In addition, this immense advantage is
gained Of founding societies Of credit which, in lieu Of
