young readers may not have noticed Is
that bank bills are much less used than
they were of necessity in those days,
and, indeed, that money, as IA medium
OF trade, is less handled than it was
then. The change comes from the
telegraph. And the illustration, which
l take from the experience of our own
states, applies precisely to the COM
merce of the world.
III a traveller went from Boston TO
Illinois in the year 1885, perhaps TO
buy wool in Ohio, in Indiana, or In
Illinois, he would have taken, perhaps,
a belt containing silver dollars TO the
full amount which he wanted to use.
Perhaps he would take New England
bank bills. The New England banks
had invented a system of mutual eX-
change which gave their bills q some-
what national reputation. If he could
get them he would take the bills OF the
United States Bank in Philadelphia.
But this bank and all other banks in
tho country failed in the year 1887.
For some time then, il was n most diff
fcult thing TO remit money or ''value"
from one part of the nation to another
Indeed, that difficulty alone showed
that il was not yet nation You
can imagine the anxiety, the real
danger and the difficulty connected
with carrying so much money, which
could be stolen at any time of day or Of
night.
All this is now changed. Let a pur-
chaser travel north, east, south or
west, if he take $50 with him, he is
amply provided for Journey of what
ever length, or for purchases however
largo. He has simply to carry with
him some letters by which in any large
town in the country, he may identify
himself. Suppose he arrives at Duluth
and makes a purchase; he wishes to
pay at once, he goes TO some banker in
Duluth, gives his name and shows a
letter OF introduction from q banker in
Boston; this letter has on it his own au-
tOgraph; if he is an entire stranger, he
veriiles himself by reproducing this au-
tograph for the Duluth banker. He
offers TO the Duluth banker his own
check on q Boston bank. The Duluth
man then asks the Boston bank If this
check is good" that is, il they
will honor it. They say that it is, and
the traveller has his money. IL they
- it is not, he is arrested for fraud
and sent 10 prison. What the telegraph
gives is tho opportunity to any man TO
travel or to do business with as little
actual money as he needs for personal
purposes from day to day.-Rev. L. +.
Hale, in tho Chautauquan.

Bismarcks Troubles.

Cooking at the active life which
Prince Bismarck has led, and at the
amount of work which he has actually
accomplished, the natural conclusion is
that he has won his right to leisure
and reposo. 1t is but rarely, however,
that rest comes TO such men. They be-
come 50 identified with their work and
its surroundings that nothing but abso-
lutte compulsion can bring about n
separation. And Prince Bismarck IL in
such position that compulsion in such
a connection is not TO be thought of.
Like Gladstone, he is likely to die in
harness.
1t has been a blessing TO Germany
that she has had such man. Ono re-
grets, however, TO notice that as he
grows older his burdens do not become
fewer or lighter, and that his relation
ships and surroundings do not become
more agreeable. He evidently misses
the old Kaiser. With Kaiser Wilhelm he
had things very much his own way. His
crosses began with the advent to power
OF Kaiser Friedrich. They did not end
with Fricdrich's death. The GafTcken
affair has been unfortunate from the
start, and has ended disastrously. The
Mcrier affair has been equally unfor-
tunats. 1t has already brought Bismarck
trouble, and il promises to bring him
more. He has had trouble in Samoa,
and he has had trouble in east Africa,
and the trouble remains in both cases.
Prince Bismarck, however, is not the
man to be easily defeated. He has
both endurance and skill. Some Of the
troubles are of his own creating; and it
would undoubtedly have been better if
he had not created them. He will get
over them all the same. He is about to
give us q specimen of his skill in East
Africa. In place Of sending out Ger
man army, he proposes to recruit CO.
lonial force on the West African coast,
and to fight Africans with Africans.
1t is evidently his intention to do decis-
i've work. Lieutenant Wissman is to
be in command. Considering the Lieu
tenants knowledge Of that part of Afri-
ca in which the operations are to be
conducted, and considering also the
support he is certain to have, it is rea-
sonable to conclude that the German

Use Of Money Now and Fifty Years
Ago.

It is fair TO say that no young people
understand the difficulties in which
the Americans of the first half of the
century lived and worked from the
variation OF currency in different
states. Very often bill of an Illinois
bank would not circulate in New Eng
land. You had 10 take IL TO broker,
and pay, perhaps, 10 per cent of its
value, in exchange for bills which
would circulate. This difficulty was
removed when, in the first year of the
civil war, Mr.. Chase, with the author
ity of congress, introduced a national
bank system. Nobody cares now wheth-
err his greenbacks Is issued I'm Illinois
