ceeed the estimates by 6O,00O00O francs, surplus
chiefly accrllg from the indirect aNes-in other w0gd;.
from voluntary imposts Great activity prevails IN their
agricultural and manufacturing departments. In 1870
their imports ana exports amounted to jGO0OOo,OO
francs and in 1874 thoy were 7,G00,o000Oo francs.
Another evidence Of their prosperity may be cited in tie
fact that under tin Empire iOOOUJD francs were sub
,cbrd 10 relieve the sufferers by innlliOns IN south
crn France, and This Summer the French Republic con-
frbutcd 3OOOOOD francs fora similar purpose. Again,
