and selling. Borrowing and lending,
takes place by Is
EXCHANGING DEBT AGAINST DEBT,
not by actual payment. The parties to
an exchange are merchant and a
farmer. He proceeds:
"Give me your oil-cake," says a farm
er, "and 1 will tell my banker to pay
YOU" Does he make an actual pay
ment? No; the cake-merchant gives
the check to his own banker, and pro-
coed, to buy linseed. and tells the RUS
sian in turn, II will tell my banker to
pay you" And SO it goes in every
trade. The resources OF q bank all
come from sales OF commodities, in
which the seller does not buy as much
as he sells, and places at the bank the
power of obtaining the difference. II q
farmers wagon brings back to the farm
commodities OF equal value with the
wheat it carried into the town, there is
nothing for the bank; but if, on the
contrary, the farmer who has brought
ESQ worth OF wheat into the town buys
only ESQ worth OF Other goods, then be
is still possessed OF the power OF buying
EGO worth more. and this power, this
faculty of purchasing, be deposits at
the bank, and these are the funds Of
which the bank disposes.
1--WE see, then, what a banker re-
ceiyes; he receives debts What does
he do with them? How does he OBJ
tain the profits Of his trade ? The pro-
cess is always in substance as follows:
A farmer sells corn; be gives his land.
lord a check for rent; the landlord
gives the check to his country banker (;
| it travels up to London and finds its
way mot this identical check, but other
checks which it gave birth toy to the
Discount Office OF the Bsuk OF England.
The banks finds i!sel able 10 lend be-
cause it has found that it received bebts
to collect. An Australian merchant
presents himself: He has bill due
by the owner oil a cargo OF wool, but
which will not be paid for three
months. He wishes to sepd of beer
that day to Australia. He asks the
bank to take his bill, and give him the
power OF drawing checks for beer. The
bank having debts, say. to collect.
consents; the beer is bought, and is paid
for by check on the bank, which
transfers The debt it received from the
country to the brewer. In this manner
the corn OF the farmer is exchanged for
the beer CT the brewer; al the rest ID
machinery. charges o. owrerphip, OF
power TO buy, bnt the only realities in
the affair are corn and beer. The bank
makes charge for lending to the Aus

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

BoNAMY PRICE, Professor OF Political
Economy in the University Of Oxford
England, has published six Lesturss
on the Principles OF Currency" This
is an admirable little book. and is well
calculated to throw light upon the
problem which our people are just now
90 eagerly attempting 10 solve. Many
of US are accustomed 10 regard money,
il not the only wealth, q very peculiar
kind of wealth, aud are not prepared to
regard it SIS literally and simply q COM
modify like ell others. This, Mr.. PRICE,
like all eminent economists, asserts,
and he carries his assertion fearlessly
and logically out, following it TO what
ever conclusion it leads. He asserts
aud demonstrates, in his own lumin'
GUS way, that gold, CT coin, or money.
is nothing more and nothing less than
q commodity, governed by the same
LAW OF DEMAND AND sUPPLY
AZ 10 all other commodities-hats, for
instance; that it is not the do-all or
make-all OF commerce; that an export
oft is no more to be feared than ap
export OF hats; that, on the contrary
such export is sometime very desirable
a real blessing; that the rate OF dis
count does not depend on the supply OF
money or OF gold; that money is not
what bankers deal in, but debts; that a
bankers reserve OF coin is not what he
should be most anxious about; that he
should be much more aHTiOuS whcthcr
there be a poor or a good harrcs:, that his
customers and others Should lire 'cithln
hsir means, that property Of no Kind
should be ,oaStca or destroyed, than that
his reserve should stand al particular
6yure that commercial crisis Is not
q demand for money, nor produced by
a scarcity OF it, nor to be remedied by
an abundance OF it; that an increase oil
business does not necesssrially call for
an increase OF gold or currency OF any
kind; that a stereotyped reserve OF gold
is irrational, etc, etc. All these propo'
sitious, and others which we might
take from Mr.. PAGES book, will doubts
less sound as strange 10 many as
CoPERNlCUs' heliocertric theory, or
HARvEYs doctrine OF the circulation OF
the blood TO his contemporaries.
There are great authorizes, among
them Mr.. Mill, who teach expressly
or implicitly that all exchanges are ef-
fected by the agency Of money, q. least
that the demand for money, at any
time, is measured by all the goods in
market for sale. Mr.. PRiCE shows
that this is not the case; that relatively
very small part Of tie exchanges
made In a country ike England OF
America is effected by money; that by
far the greater number Of exchange. Ii
made by means of bank checks, drafts
bills. etc. ; that, therefore, in proper
ton as banks and clearinghouse in
crease, the demand for money will de-
crease that further, and as conse'
quence Of this less currency is needed
