OF all towns III tho world, Paris
has the largest debt, its liabilities
amounting to , 1855 ops 7S0 francs -
that is $425 ,0O0, 600, approximately.
The fact that the capital of France has
been able to obtain such an enormous
credit is no doubt due to the large in
come derived from the octroi, or town
toll. The city has been sunk under
this awful debt to furnish work for
communists. Paris is not far f"oln
bankruptcy. The weight of the taxes
is destroying the prosperity of the
place; but the communists continue
bowling for more, and the rotten dem
agogu,s go on issuing bonds and heap
Ing up debt.
