Queen yictoria,s Wealth.

= What Queen Victoria leaves behind
her will never be known, because the
Wills of sovereigns are not proved, but
those who have carefully considered the
subject are of opinion that she must,
since the Prince Consort's death, have
saved Mt the very least f100, 600 q year.
Not only has she lived so quietly that a
large proportion of her e385, 900 year
public income must be saved, but it is
to be remembered that Mr.. Nield left
her f500,000, which, ut 4 per cent,
would give her zoo, 600 year, and she
receives G43,O00 from her Duchy of
Lancaster The crown lands, given up
to the country in lieu of parliamentary
annual grant, have of late years been so
ably and economically managed that
their revenue covers the royal allow
ance, and these crown lands were as
much the property of the sovereign as
the lands of the Duke of Devonshire,
or any other landholder. are his. Ii
the country choose to make the most of
these lands by cutting mp, say, the New
Forest, and selling i'll lots, and adopting
similar plan with other outlying pos
sessions OF the crown, it would make
money out of the royal family. The
revenue OF the Duchy of Cornwall has
risen from f22, 900 in 1924 to Els, 900,
and increases annually about GO, 900, SO
that the next Prince of Wales will prob
ably be independent of parliamentary
grant. Queen Victoria is probably
saving with a view of rendering her fam
lily as Independent as the wealth of the
Duke de Penthivre rendered the house
of Orleans, and made Louis Philippe,
in consequence, the cheapest of French
Kings Washington Capital

swered, that a paper issued by the

its creditors otake it or gold or silver

it would circulate, form a perfect pa

would be as uniform in value as the
