Concluded
The reduction in the rate Of interest had
double effect. 1t tempted those, who had pre-
viously been in the habit Of getting accommo-
dations from the banks, to borrow larger sums;
and it tempted individuals possessed of monled
properly, and not engaged in business, to en-
bark in projects which they were taught to be-
lieve would yield them greater return for their
capital In additional TO these stimuli the long
dates atswhich bills we're now freely discounted
bv almost all the Scotch and by many OF the
English banks, added new force to the spirit OF
speculation. Those who procured discounts at
four. six, nine, and, as was sometimes the case,
even at twelve and eighteen months, were con-
sequently enabled to withhold their produce
from market, in order to speculate upon lar
Their advance, and were also led 10 adventure in
time-bargains, or to buy goods at an advanced
price that were not to be delivered for some
considerable period. The quantity Of produce
brought to market was thus, on the one hand,
artihcially diminished, while, on The other, the
rise of prices caused by this diminution and the
increase of money, and the eagerness of the spe-
culators to enter into time-bargains, or con-
tracts for goods to be delivered at distant
term, gave an extraordinary encouragement to
the production and importation of the articles
that were the principal objects of speculative
demand The rise of prices that took place in
s24, and the first half of 1925, was thus render
ed vastly greater than any that could have been
occasioned by the mere additions, great as they
were, that were then made to the currency.
large proportion Of the transactions that were
enter ed into during the period in question, were
effected by means Of bills on private individu-
ais; and comparatively few OF the time-bargains
or of the transactions that had been partially
effected by means Of bills at long dates dis
counted by the bankers, had been completed
when the recoil took place. The moment the
| test of real payments began 10 be applied, the
unsubstantial fabric fell straightway to the
ground; involving the spectators, and those
who had been engaged in the production ana
| importation of commodities on their account,
in one common ruin.
Undoubtedly, however, nothing contributed SO
much to bring on the late crisis and to render il
so fatally destructive, the power that has been
so absurdy given to every individual, however
ignorant, poor, or unprincipled, who chooses
TO dub himself Banker, to issue paper money.
Those qualities in banker which excite the
public confidence, and which consequently
obtain greater Ca less degree of circulation

that the visits will take place al the same epoch

France over Hayti, and adduces the ordonnance
as proof that this sovereignty is acknowledged.
This is sturdily denied by the Hayden writer.
"Has this ordonnance," he asks, ''subjuga,ed

cepted freely, and has not done so till after
long discussions, followed by very explicit
declaration, written and furnished by the envoy
