A STATEMENT just made by the di-
rector of the minis gives some inter
esting facts about the money circula-
ton of the world. 1t makes an inter
esting showing, indicating, as 1t does,
that but one country in the world has
as much money in active circulation
as this, and that the average amount
per head of population in this country
is nearly two and a half times as
greatas throughout tho civilized world
generally. In other words, the amount
of paper and metallic circulation
medium IN this country is 81, 745, 600,
600, OF more than double the amount
in Great Britain and Ireland, though
not quite so much as France has, the
total there being 81, 900, 600, 600.
France certainly has a wonderful
ability to make money and to keep it
at home. Not Only has she paid her
immense WEI indemnity within the
past few years, but she has now a
greater amount, of money in eircula-
ton than any other country of the
world, and larger sum per head of
population. The average amount of
money in active circulation per head
in France is S42 55, while ia the Unit
ed States it is but S24 50 per head.
Yet as this is nearly two and a half
times the average total for the civiliz-
cd world, it ought to be quite satisfsc-
tory, The avearge for the world is
about $40 per head of population.
This does not represent the amount of
money value distributed in property,
but the actual amount of money in
circulation in the civilized world.
The total IN the thirty countries
given in the table is about $40. 600, 600,
600, though, for some inscrutablt
reason, China is omitted from the list
Five countries have larger averag,
of circulating medium per head thar
this They are FER nee, $42 SIS; Cuba
1921; Cape of Good Hope colony
$3s 40 Belgium, $50 40; Netherlands
$2627. In many of these cases, how
ever, the amount of coin is quit
small, and the paper large, In France
however, the amount of paper is les
than the gold, and less than half o
the gold and silver, while in thi
country the amount OF paper is NOR
than gold and silver together. Tn
only countries having no gold circula
ton, according to the table, are Cey
Ion AVID British India, having each
small amount of paper and the re
mainder silver British Iudia ha
over $1,000, oOo,0O0 of circulating
medium in silver, which, however
is only 81 TO per head, while the pa
per is but p cents per head TIL
total amount Of circulating medium
in this country, whether in active Gil
culation or in banks and nationa
treasures, is 500 AZ per head, a sun
IN excess Of that had per head by tn
population Of any country excep
France. There the total is $50. IS pc
head. In Ceylon, where Governo
Cleveland's sister has been as a mis-
sionary for years, the paper circula
ton is 81 cents per head and the silve
rs cents.
