TEN OF currency Is most difficult one, which, win
take years to accomplish. The new coinage OF 1884,
for instance was no sooner in circulation than it
began to be exported abroad and In spite OF an

scarcely any other purpose than that Of satisfying

The history OF the Turkish pastre Is curious one.
Originally the Turkish coin Of this denomination
as OF about the same value the spanish plastic;
In 1850 it stood at about 80 pence, while Mt present
d Is worth only liza pence This decline In the
kalue of the piece arose simply from the progressive
9ebasement OF It's fneness and weight by successive
governments until at last the intrinsic value Of the
8oin in One silver was reduced TO l25th part Of the
Original value. The despotic governments Of the
State had not much trouble in forcing the continued
SPECULATION of the debased coin upon their subjects,
md they were blind to the disastrous effects of such
Arbitrary measures upon the home and foreign trade
OF the empire. But this was not all. An enormous
hmountof paper currency, under the denomination OF
nuine was forced into circulation besides; and
What with the deprecated value OF this paper cur
Eency, the fearfuly debased and even counterfeit
coinage, circulating In immense variety Of larger
and smaller pieces TO the total amount OF some nine
hundred million piastres, aud what with the inces-
SAINT and violent fluctuations In the price Of foreign
coin, there surely never was greater state Of con-
fusion In monetary system. The stole submission
OF the Moslem to Kismet and his belief in the in
faoty Of the prophets successor, alone preserved
Che State from the dreadful revolution which with
much smaller share OF grievances would inevitably
have burst out In a civilized Christian community.
The influence Of international intercourse, how
6ver. compelled the government OF Turkey to devise
some reform, and in 1874, under the Sultan Abdul
Medjid, an attempt was made to re-establish the
monetary system OF the empire upon q more solid
basis by the issue Of new coinage, taking for its
unit or integer the latest edition Of the debased
piasire. At subsequent period the Imperial Otto
man Bank was established. whose functions com.
prsed also the gradual reorganization Of the Turkish
mediums Of exchange. This institution has sue
