The lesson which this story teaches 1 1 is obvious, but 1 will nevertheless sum- * marize it as follows: ' ! 1. The Metallic P.asis: The theory * that a gold or silver reserve is a ncoes- f sity is only a myth held up before the 1 : masses to be revered as a religion the c mandates of which are impossible of f performance, because there is not suf- , flclent gold in existence to discharge j4 the debts made payable in that metal.

If gold were demonetized, the cost of its transporta.ion forth and back over the oceans vould be saved, and the metal would :ome into its own as inexpensive filings for defective teeth, personal idomments, ornamentations pleasing o the eye, and for numerous other mrposes requiring non-corrosive maerial or permanence of appearance. 2. Over-Issue: If the issue of paper noney is confined to legitimate, that is, :onstructive purposes, there can be no ianger of an over-issue, because it is i3 id out for material, labor or other services, and as the volume is based lpon the estimated cost of work .to be lerformed, it logically follows that, as lvc performance of the work depends >n the number of hands avai'able, so he issue of currency is limited accordngly; but is, nevertheless, always adcluate. Constructive Taxation Bar to Inflation. sj. Depreciation: For each issue of noney, a corresponding tax is levied, vhich is paid periodically, and, when he last installment is returned, the isiue may be said to have been withIrawn from circulation. It has served he purposes for which it was issued ind is returned to its source, having omp'eted the circuit of exchange; vhile other issues for other purposes ontinue to circulate until their specific objects have been attained and their iscfulness ondod. The tax lcyy thus poeonics the controller of the rurrendy tnd inflation is prevented; unless? nuney is issued for destructive purposes, as war, which is avoidable; and speculation, in which Governments vould have no incentive to indulge. 4.
