Napoleon the Little

BOOK II
51/57

Falling credit, as you say, lowering of interest, as you say; M.Bonaparte has already made several of those decrees which you choose to qualify as socialistic, and he will make more.

M.Changarnier, had he triumphed instead of M.Bonaparte, would have done as much.

Henry V, should he return to-morrow, would do the same.

The Emperor of Austria does it in Galicia, and the Emperor Nicholas in Lithuania.

But after all, what does this prove?
that the torrent which is called Revolution is stronger than the swimmer who is called Despotism.
But even this socialism of M.Bonaparte, what is it?
This, socialism?
I deny it.
