How Does the Government Get Money!
II is confidently asserted by many
iriters, as an indisputabie proposition
hat the government can have nc
nOney not previously raised by taxa
ion, and can make no money except by
,aying out dollar raised by taxation
or each dollar coined The first money
aust be derived from tax in kind
artered for gold and silver or other
money metal, or substance, which,
.hen stamped by the govei nment, is
gal tender for debt, which fact con-
titutes it the money OF the country.
he government had the money first
nd how did the people get il? The
overnmeut paid it out TO them for
daries, war expenses and app )ria-
ons, or loan il to bankers at a low rate
interest, that bankers might loan il
other people at high rate OF inter-
o. and so enrich themselves BY usury.
mis- last is the fayorite method, and is
le quintessence OF class legislation.
ne government now RECEIVERS by taxa
on which is a charge for its service TO
he people, and legitimate taxes are
nst wages OF the government part Of
T. money from the people, and buys
more money metal and coins more
money 1t is then the taxing power Of
he government which enables the gov
rnment 10 create money. In other
ords. the national legal tender, or
noney, Is based on the power OF taxa

THE ALLIANCE,



The National Economist in reply 10 ..
correspondent. says in regard TO the
money Of France: Issues Of the Bank
Of France have been legal tender since
| S4s, and as other banks Of issue do not
exist, there Is In France no currency,
as distinguished from money proper.
During the time that France was pay.
ing an indemnity TO Germany, period
OF four years, gold commanded slight
premium, at one time being u per cent.
Since that debt has been paid Bank OF
France notes circulate unfortunately
all over the republic with gold and sill
yer, and gold hasn't left the country
either. The money OF France goes into
circulation much as it does elsewhere
by discount over the counters OF the
banks. There are a number Of private
banks In all tho cities, and more than
seventy branches Of the Bank Of France
are compelled 10 open account with any
one so demanding. The Bank OF France
discounts on the same line OF securities
to which the national banks Of this
country are restricted, and the rate OF
interest is much lower than is current
here. But the great relief 10 the
French business men comes from the
plentiness OF the money. About $780,
100000 in gold, 500, 600, 600 ia silver,
and 5000 000, 900 of these bank notes are
in circulation, with a population OF
3s, $50, 900, practically permitting traffic
in cash. Under this cash system every
small dealer is not forced to have
bank account In 1864 there was "a coll
lapse IN Paris, brought on by over
81 eculation among the brokers and
ilnanciers OF the country, and the Bank
ot France suffered considerable losses

This Is the last financial strait in which
The bank has been placed OF course

many was burden, but did not pro-
ducc n crash, and the people seem no
poorer from their great financial feat,
unexampled in history. The Bank OF
France acted as intermediary and
actually made the payments for the
government, though the shares in that
Institution are held by private citizens,
ipcrated'under charter from the gov
'rnment. There was quite furry.
mt no permanent bad effects from the
allure OF the Panama canal scheme and
thor spcculations about two years ago,
nat though the losses in money were
;reat, ii had little effect ON legitimate
commerce. Because Of her great
iolume OF money, France was able last
car 10 lift England, and indeed all
hristendom, to aiirmer footing when
the Barlngs failed.

bic attention is given to the subject of over

result Of this act. the report states, has
been the fling Of enormous overtime

represent the maximum amount Of claims
already prepared. In view of the tendency
OF the law to create overtime claims. and

certain notifications Of the law. among
them that no carrier be required to work
more than fifty-one hours il any week Of
seven days, where there is Sunday service,
or forty eight hours where there is no Sun

years service, upon certificate of faithful

cient or untitled for active work that they
be reduced to lower grade.

that unless measures are ut once taken to

they can GO no further than the limit of

reached the machinery must take care of
