In Washington the police broke up

Copyright 1917. Western Newspaper Union,
The widest "bOomS'' in America new
er exceeded that which occurred in
Paris during the early part of the
eighteenth century. 1t was when Laws
mississippi Scheme" reached the
crest in its meteoric course.
In two or three years the manufac-
lures of Paris increased four-fold The
population was added to by hundred
thousands. The vast numbers of peo-
pie who came to Paris were forced to
live in garrets, kitchens and stables.
This amazing activity was caused by
antici .)ations ths.t huge profits would
be derived from trade with the Louisi-
ana province. At the beginning of the
reign of Louis XIV France was in seri-
Gus financial straits owing to the wars
of Louis XIV. Law was a Scottish
financier who submitted to the French
government a tempting plan for reduc-
ing the national debt by systematic
cultivation of commercial relations
with the French territory in North
America.
With the protection of the govern
ment he organized, in 1717, the Com
pagnie dOccident, capitalized at 100,-
100000 livres. His company was in
vested with the privilege of trading ex-
clusively with the Province of Louisi-
ana for twenty-five years. The inf1u-
ence of the COmpagnie dOccident over
Louisiana was made so great that it
amounted practically to new govern
ment. In 1718 the name of the COM
pany was changed to the Banque Roy
ale, with the king himself, guaran-
teeing the notes that were issued. In
1719 the company obtained monopoly
of trade with the East Indies, China
and the South Seas and was named
the Compagnie des hides.
BY this time so successful was Law
in arousing popular interest that when
$4,000 new shares were offered 100000
applications were made for them. Then
the boom above described reached it's
elimination.
The entire scheme was doomed to
failure. Actual operations had hardly
been started when the government
greatly increased it's paper money cir
culation on the strength of this pros
perity. People began to realize that
they were riding on the crest of a
bubble The end came swiftly and al
