own currency. The currency of the
country is paper and it has deprecated

with their face value in goods

Century: No falIacy is more firmly
fixed in the public mind than that which
repreo ents the establishment or Ou1
Government as the work Of old men.
The delusion is imbibed in childhood,
and is unconscious.y cultivated by the
text books used in school. The "fathers
of the Republic" are depicted in all the
histories with wigs, queues, ana otiel
accessories OF dress that apparently be
token age, and the pupil naturally con
cludes that they must have been Old
when the Nation was born.
In point Of fact, they were an uncom~
monty Young set OF men. George Wash.
ington, senior In age as We'll as IN au-
thority and Influence. was but 43 when
the revolution broke ont, and 81 when
he became first President; Thomas JET
ferson only 81 when he wrote the Dec

Hamilton but 80 when he became sec
rotary Of the Treasury; James Madison
only % when he was made member OF
a Virginia Committee of Safety, and 50
when he was Hamilton's great coliabor
ator in tho production of that political
classic The Federalist.'
Nor were the leaders in the great en-
terprjse exceptional in this matter OF
age. Forty names were signed to the
Constitution Of the United States the
18th of September, 1857. Leaving out
OF account four whose BIRTHDAYS are not
given by the hooks of reference, only
Eve of the remaining thlrtY-slx had
reached the age of SO; twenty of the
number were less than 45 years old; and
twelve were under 40, among the latter
being one (Hamiiton) Of 30, another or
%. a third Of %. and a fourth who
lacked some mouths of II when the con'
yention met. The average age OF all
the members did not quite reach As
wears. The most important committee
to which the instrument was referred
for final revision consisted OF five mem
bers. four of whom were between 30
and SO years of age, the fifth and least
prominent being 60.
