The third story-Isle Pleasant-shows the ln-
convenience of barter, and the part played by
money IN commerce. 4 bettor chapter on the
nature and use Of good circulating medium we
ha va nowhere read. Isle Pleasant was the name
that Capt. Adams had given to the settlement
made By the shipwreckoa sailors. Tired Of carry
ing on their exchanges by means Of barter
tho islanders introduced cocoa-nuts as species
of money. The coco.-nuts lad two Of the nee
eeaary clements OF value. They were uHcfal in
themselves and there Was some difficulty in OBJ
tanning them. But there we're few drawbacks
!, to their use. They Varied in value. 4 hurri
caae now and then blow down q dozen Of trees.
The value Of the nuts declined rapidly for d
time, Sometimes they were very plentiful; ut
others very SCARCE. Parties who had agreed at 3
definite time to deliver certain number were
liable to find them very difficult OF attainment
and very much ENLARGED in value. Then the
bulk of the cocoa-uut was another very strong
objection to their being used as medium OF OK
change. Sometimes, yhou tho value OF the arti-
Gle purchased IVES yer. small, it became neces-
sary to divide cocoa-nut into very little bits,
and sometimes it WE necessary to carry 100
cocoa-nuts on the back to pay bill. sueh MAS
the condition Of the circulating medium in the
island when cheft Of gold pieces WAS
discovered among the rocks and hau1ad
to shore. The chest contained E7,450. Some
of tho finders of the gold stopped working.
Gradually the money became more evenly dis
tributed among tho Settlers. Prices became
fixed for timo but, rs the supply OF money in
the island was absolutely limited, while che busi-
ness OF tho little coloEy. Was increasing all the
time, money increased in value that is,
smaller quantity OF god and eilver WAS exchang-
ed for other commodities, and prices fell Thus
there was q steady :ncrcase in wealth in the
islapd, and steady dsclino Of p rices On &C.
couot of the rapid riss in the value Of gold, the
s.t,Iers now had recourse to written promises to
nav md thus very frequently the use of money
in etrectiug exchanges was dispensed with alto
