young Cavaignac, on u sign from his

fellow colleagues applauded his con-

his report to the Emperor on the loan
OF 429 millions of francs-snbscribed
for by over three. quarters of a million
of people, and for "a times the amount
required. But this does not represent
the accumulated wealth of France. It
represents speculation-people asked
for a million of TepteS, knowing they
could only get few hundreds. Where
are the banks that could take from
their business a sum exceeding the
national debt? In 1854, fifteen times
the loan asked for, was subscribed; u
