Perhaps is generally known that Punch has had an
interview with the Chancellor OF the Exchequer for the
purpose oayng before the government proposition to re-
lease the country from its present pecuniary embaass-
men Punch received-of course-very graciousy by
the minister and having been asked to take seat In the
cabinet the clever official, he proceeded with the state
meat of which the following is an outline: There Isl,
said Mr.. Punch, 81 understand, great pressure for
money Or it technically termed tightness though
confess do feel it can do very well without money
foher people would only be satisfied, and not ask for
it, 1t is that my tradesmen talk to OF the difficulty
they have in getting in their accounts but say to thcm
very naturally what right have to embark in business
ALL you have not the requisite capital to bear the brun
oft! Don't talk about settling my little bill CO. sir
and pay your debts, but pray don't bother me about
matters of this kind, for have more important affairs to
occupy my attention.
Mr. Punch here explained the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequc that part ofhs observations related only the
general of existing circumstances between debtor and
creditor, but had direct bearing his great financial
proposition The minister expressed his anxiety to come at
this speedily possible, and the following dialogue
ensued.

Chancellor Of the fact u.s. that the
lang medium is all locked out OF the country, and
we must either release it or find substitute

cared legal tender poand-about its real worth
and thus you have issue OF epound notes at

Chancellor Of the Erchequer There to be some
thing in your suggestion but when do you propose to
