Another act bos been the abolition of slavery in the French colo- nies. Another hes for its object the emancipation of thought, by the abolition of the stamp on journals. The immediate effect of (his has been, of eourse, a reduction of nearly fifty per cent. on the price ef newspapers. Let ustake, eaan example, La Presse. The annual sub- scription for that journal was forty franos; it is now twenty-four frets. ‘Thus one of the most ably con- ducted newspapers in Europe is sold in Patis for the price of three-teaths of an American cent! and yet this paper, ae is ao weil known, engages the usual corps of re. porters, Keeps correspondenta wt all the chief capitals of Europe, and, in short, engages on liberal terms the very highest literary telent in France. [ts circulation before th» abolition of the stamp wes 36000: its present gircu- lation is reported to be above 80,000 ! ‘The effects of the revolution which has taken place here, on the commereial and industrial interests are as conspicuous as they ere di closers, prompted by natural, but igaorant motives have geveraily combined to demand, and even extort, ad- vanced wages and salaries In some instances, these demandes have mounted to the extravagant amount of 100 per cont. on the established rates.
