THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
One Cause OF 1t said to lie the Construc-

One Cause OF 1t said to lie the Construc-
ton of Warehouses for salt.
Before the revolution the govern
ment established warehouses at
which the inhabitants We're compelled
TO purchase their stores OF salt.
These warehouses were numerous in
some provinces and few in others.
but, whether sufficient or insufficient
for the needs OF the population, they
were often situated at considerable
distance from the towns and villages,
miles along bad roads 10. buy their
salt, says the Nineteenth Century.
But this was not all. 1t was pre-
scribed by law that the head OF every
family must lay IN his stock of salt,
not at such times as might suit his
own convenience, but on one stated
day in the year Should he fail in
this observance he was fined, and he
was also fined if he purchased al
smaller quantity than the law pre-
scribed. His hardships did not stop
even there.
NOn making this annual purchase
he had TO state the different pur-
poses for which he intended to use
the salt during the ensuing year, and
in the event of his being discovered
sailing his soup instead of his pork,
according TO his statement. or his
pork instead OF his soup on the day
he had named. he was also liable to
fine. His kitchen was never secure
from the intrusion OF the inspecting
officer, and woe to the housewife who
was detected in am petty infraction
Of this law.
As matter OF course, some Of the
important towns were exempt from
the gabclle, as well as influential Of
ficials and magistrates in the country
while mobiles escaped il altogether
by receiving donations Of salt under
the name OF franc-sale. We may we'll
ask why this law was never abolished
or modified. simply because it re-
turned millions OF francs to an empty
exchequer. And why was it not i'm
posed ON the untaxed provinces Be-
cause these provinces had provincial
states in which the clerical and noble
element preponderated, who would
have resisted to the utmost an in
fringemcnt OF their rights, and whom
the government was afraid to offend.
