Napoleon ns Money Grnsper--Vhat Led
so the Coup d'Etns.

It is nm interesting fact that the Urinary
cause OF Napoleon + coup d 'etat in 1852 was
the refusal of France to pay him n larger sal
arv ns President OF the then republic. The
CONSTITUTION had fixed bis personal pay al
coo. 900 francs per annum. and tie Constitu
ent Assembly. little before its snnaration.
had granted him credit of G00,000 francs
more for personal expenses. But thi-
amount over 5000, ,O00-did not correspond
with the ideas of the President, who had
been improving every opportunity To express
his faith in the simplicity and efficacy of
Democrats ins tutions. Though the Presi-
dent of the North America Republic: received
hut So5 900 annually, the President of the
new French Republic turned up his nose at
eight times that amount. and the Bonaparte
journals of France constantly harped upon
he miserable sum-"
Finally. when somo Of the principal men,
hers of his cabinet refused to present to tho
National Assembly plan for n law giving
the President three million francs additional
for current expenses" Napoleon seems to
have been exasperated, and the Barro,-Dn-
faure Ministry was soon after dismissed.
The request to have his salary increased to
SS4n. 900 annually. was. however. finally ac-
ceded to in the National Assembly by a ma
iority of forty.six, on vote of six hundred
and sixty-two
But this did not satisfy the Presidents de-
mands lie still craved and demanded more.
and little later we find him asking the As
semhlv to grant him 800 060 francs addi-
tonal, for annual personal expenses. This
sum. equal 20 about $500, 900 was in addition
to the $40 900 already granted to Napoleon.
and won!d bring his salary up to $1,000. 600
This request. however, was received wish de-
cided demonstrations of i'll favor, and it was
finally tabled by a vote of 396 10 294.
From that time the President seems to have
decided upon coup d'etdt, which should Sc
cure for him the royal masnifcence of an
Emperor. 1t succeed. and from that time Na-
rolean has received an annual income Of 25,
000. 900 francs. or s.. 000. 900; that is sum
200 times IA grca, as the salary Of the Pres
ijrnt of the United States.
in addition, the Imperial family have an
annual allowance of $50, 600. and the free
use Of fifteen places. The Grand Master of
the Emperors stables. the Grand Hunter.
and the Grand Marshal of the Palace each
receive $4,000 annually for those Offices
alone while the latter gets in addition Sc
900 as Marshal of the army. and SC, GOO ns
a Senator for life. TIE other two get S5 .0G0
each as Major Generals. and Sc 900 as Sena-
tors each. II now looks as it the French
Emperor would have to put up with n :ithe

Cash vaiue Of a Lnberins 3 Man.

Il often remarked BY persons who do not
possess any property, and who depend on
their cail7 labur for support Of themselves
and their families, that they are ''worth moth
ing" financially sneaking. This language
is generally indnlged in by men in the COM
munity who style themselves business men.
be, us examine the question financially, ard
see If their assertions are correct.
Last year the price of common labor ave-
ragged one dollar and Eaf per dsy. Ad-
hitting that the laborer received one dollar
and half per day. ard il required the whole
of the sum to support bis family, neyerthe-
less we contend that the laborer was worth
in cash to his family the sum of s., 800.
The amount he would receive at one year q
labor Mt one dollar and half dsy, would
be Si62, which amount would be the inte-
rest at six per cent. 81 500. which latter sum
would he the cash value Of the laboring man
to his family.
The cash value cf the laboring man 10 the
community is much more than the above
named sum. as labor is the only true wealth
nf any country. Without labor our forges,
furnaces, woolen mills. and indeed manufac-
tories of al kinds, would cease to be. The
music of the toom and shuttle would be si-
fenced forever. Our hatioraland other banks
would close their doors. and our most enter
prising merchants take in their signs. With
out labor, civilization would recede, and the
bat and owl would soon occupy the crimson
chambers nf our would be business men.
Let the laboring men of the United States
realize their true position. Let them reflect
that labor is honora le that labor is wealth.
Let then remember that thew are power in
the State; that 10 them this great govern
nant is indebted for all it possesses OF liberty,
glory and grandeur.
Let them ,nly reflect that labor is hnnora-
',le; hut let those who look down on the hum
ble laborer and mechanic reflect for one mo-
ment before they speak in terms af dspar-
agement of the "hcwers cf wood and the
drawers of water" The custom is too prev
alent il, the community cf making remarks
in q sneering manner cf the great industrial
class OF our peonlr, leading youths among us
to think. that honest industry is not honora-
BILE. he it what it may. Thattme has passed.
Ilones', industrious mechanics and labor
ers are the wealth of states. and until they
are encouraged and iostered, our people can
not be prosperous. 1t il not the cash value
alone hy which he enriches the place Of his
residence. Int he adds by his labor to IT'S ma
terial wealth no couhtry or nation that
commands the respect of the world. but what
that respect was gained through the skill oi
her mechanical population. Then let all
classes, more especially the rich, respect and
inculcate their children with the true theory
of life. and that labor is honorable, and if;
in their life. misfortune shall overtake them,
willing hands will he pn. firth to earn their
support Portsmouth. n. H., Chronicle.
