the fact that she was already enamored

with spendthrirts. who were tools OF the
ruler. Many were lifted from poverty
into luxurious living and commanded

man who desires to start national
bank must first get government bonds.
Ii the government wants to borrow
any money lie can get the bonds from
the treasury at par: If not he must buy
from somebody who has them at mar
ket price, which, owing to the demand
for them as "basis" for national bank
circulation, has for several years been
considerably above par He then takes
his bonds to the United States Treas
nry and deposits them as security for a
loan from the Governmt mt of 80 per
cent. of the face of the bonds in bank
notes, which the government prints
and loans him at one per cent year.
