Coin and Paper Money,

From the New Orleans Bulletin.
The discussions now going on
throughout the country, respecting
the mutual advantages and disad-.
vantages of coined money and pa
per money, suggest that brief
sketch of the origin Of both spe-
cies Of currency may prove inter
esting.
In the earlier ages of the world,
exchanges we're made by bartering
one article for another, as a sheep
for a goat, a cow for a sword, a
herd of cattle for a piece Of land.
AS society advanced, however, the
disadvantages of this method of
trading began to be seriously felt,
and some other system was sought
to be devised,
The precious metals, on account
both of their value and compact
ness, were adopted among most
communities as solution to the
problem, though other communi-
ties employed shells-the Ameri-
can Indians, for example-and
still others other substitutes. AT
first the silver was used in bars.
But the difficulty of assaying it, as
we'll as the trouble Of weighing 1t
for each separate transaction
gradually led to the stamping it,
and then to the cutting off pieces
of certain determined weights
These things were finally done by
public authority ; and hence the
origin of gold, silver and Other
coins.
The first piece of stamped money
of this description was doubtless
minted before the historic period
1t is said by Pliny, nevertheless
that the Romans had no coinet
money before the time Of Servin
Tullius. But long prior to tha
period, the Phmuicians and othe
commercial nations used stamps
coins. II is plain, from more tina
one passage in the Bible, tina
money OF this kind was familiar I
the Hebrews, at a very early epoc
| In their annals. Iron was en-
ployed by the Spartans in colt
age copper by the Romans gol
and silver by richer and more con
mercial nations. Generally, th
early coins of all nations were q
ceedingly rude. But we must O.
! cept those Of the Greeks, who e,
: hibited in their coinage, as in
: things else, their natural aptituC
J for the beautiful.

the United States, have, however,
almost monopolized the term.
Banks. themselves, are the inven-
ton Of o quite recent period. The
word bank comes from baaco, the
italian for bench, because dealers
in money first sat on benches IN
the market places of Italian towns,
in the Middle Ages. The Bank Of
Venice, the parent of all other
banks, was first established A. u.
1l71, the Bank of Amsterdam fol-
lowed A. ID. 1909 that of Ham
burg, A. d. 1919, and that of Eng

these banks, however, were not
banks of issue, but of deposit and
discount only. .E.-sa.
The Chinese claim to have first
discovered the device of paper
money. One of their Emperors
issued money 119 years B. Co.
called flying money, from the ease
and rapidity with which it circu-
lated. It consisted of the paper
promises Of the Government. The
Empire was. flooded with it, and
the whole was repudiated. The
Emperor of Japan followed the
example with the same results.
Massachusetts, in 1890, issued
paper to pay off her debts con-
tracted in wars with the French
and Indians. Though not finally
repudiated by the government, it
deprecated iu value to ten cents
on the dollar. The Carolinas is
sued paper money to meet the ex-
penses of their expedition against
St. Augustine. It declined to
about fifteen cents OH the dollar
On the breaking out of the Revo,
lutionary War, the Continental
Congress resorted to the issue Of
paper money. To all it amounted
to about three hundred and fifty
seven millions. These bills at first
passed at their par value, out
finally they stood in 1851 as SUI

formed a description of paper
