The French Government's insurance project, surpasses that of the Panama Canal in charlatanry, and has not been equaled since the days of law. The plan contemplates the payment by the Government of a pension of from 300 to 600 francs to every workman, employee, méyer, and domestic of either sex who shall, from the age of twenty-five years to that of fifty-five, pay a premium of from five to ten centimes for every working-day; the employer being obliged to add to this an equal contribution and the sum to be further increased by a contribution on the part of the Government of two-thirds of the amount.
