Perhaps the greatest recent calamity that

tuftiely led to the wil.'ot speculation and

rnin. The old proverb that it U harder to endnre prosperity than adversity, was made

good again.

An exactly opposite erfjct was produced

on France. The people there, trained in

thiift and small economies, had no;sacritice

to make when tbey applied sun closer re

tienchment to their pertoca! an-1 household

expenditure. The result was that France

though sirlcken with ail the cost and priva

of a bard conquerer like .Bismarck, who

never expected to see his terms fulfilled,
