CAMACHO, JUAN FRANCISCO (1824-1896)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 79 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CAMACHO, JUAN FRANCISCO (1824-1896) , Spanish states-man and financier, was born in Cadiz in 1824. The first part of his life was devoted to mercantile and
financial
  pursuits at Cadiz and then in Madrid, where he managed the affairs of and liquidated a mercantile and industrial society to the
satisfaction
  and profit of the shareholders. In 1837 he became a captain in the national militia, in 1852 Conservative
deputy
  in the
Cortes
  for
Alcoy
 , in 1853 secretary of congress, and was afterwards elected ten times
deputy
 , twice senator and life senator in 1877. Camacho took a prominent part in all
financial
  debates and committees, was offered a seat in the Mon cabinet of 1864, and was appointed under-secretary of state finances in 1866 under Canovas and O'Donnell. After the revolution of 1868 he declined the post of minister of finance offered by
Marshal
  Serrano, but served in that capacity in 1872 and 1874 in Sagasta's cabinets. When the restoration took place, Camacho sat in the
Cortes
  among the dynastic Liberals with Sagasta as leader, and became finance minister in 1881 at a
critical
  moment when Spain had to convert, reduce, and consolidate her treasury and other debts with a view to resuming payment of coupons. Camacho drew up an excellent budget and collected taxation with a decidedly unpopular vigour. A few years later Sagasta again made him finance minister under the regency of Queen Christina, but had to sacrifice him when public
opinion
  very clearly pronounced against his too radical financial reforms and his severity in collection of taxes. He was for the same reasons unsuccessful as a
governor
  of the Tobacco Monopoly Company. He then seceded from the Liberals, and during the last years of his life he affected to vote with the Conservatives, who made him
governor
  of the Bank of Spain. He died in Madrid on the 23rd of January 1896. (A; E. H.)
