notes.
1t is not true, however, that the notes
hare always been thus guarded; for they
have more than once been as low as 20 rer
cent. below gold par and once, under eN
traortilnary circumstances, the stock went
40 per cent. below par. This was but Il few
years after its establishment. The govern
ment increased the capital by 81 00o, 900 and
promises OF peace coming soon after, Il he
stock bounded in Il few days from 40 below
to Il above par, creating of course IL wide

to conform to that standard by weight.
The difference was often 20 per cent?
fact sometimes stated thus, "The banks
notes were at 20 per cent. premium above

equivalent to saying thht promise to pay

in 1894 Three years later the Bank Of
England suspended specie payments and
did not resume till 1921. The credit of
originating this wonderful institution has
been, after some discussion, reluctantly
conceded to William Paterson, the Scotch
ildventurer and cnterpriscr. say 'reluc

and made such i; disastrous failure of the
Darien colony that Englishmcn found ii
hard to believe that he designed their fa-

The reasons given were the same as i'll
Venice, almost the same rs those given by
Secretary Chase for the national banks
The war of William and Mary with
France made the bank necessity, and on
the 25th of April, 1894, the act creating it
received the royal signature. The capital
was FL ,2O0, 600, which has been increased
nine times until 1t is nominally el4 ,553, GOO.
In fact, however, the bank issues absolute

holds, and thereafter notes ('dollar for
