BIRTH OF BANK NOTES.
Through Venice and Amsterdam the
System Resulted in the F formation of
the Bank of England,
From the New York Recorder.

the Bank of England.
From the New York Recorder.
If we were to attach any value to the
statement made by Klaproth, in the Ash
attic Journal for 1922, the invention of
bank notes belongs to the Chinese. At
the commencement of the reign of Han
Tsoung. of the Thang dynasty, in the
wear S07 of the Christian era, and on the
occasion of a great famine, the emperor
decreed that all merchants and wealthy
persons should deposit the whole of their
gold and silver in the public treasury, and
in return there were delivered to them
notes called Fey Thsina," or flying
money" Three years afterwari the
paper money was called in at Pekin; but
its circulation continued to be authorized
in the provinces. l.. A. d. $50 the paper
currency was revised by another emperor,
merchants being permitted to deposit
their bullion in the eXchequeI and to re-
ceive in exchange notes called running
money
In 1921 this currency represented a
value of nearly 5000 600 ounces Of silver
Whether these bank notes were printed
from metallic plates has not yet been
ascertaincd; but, taking into consider
alton the statements made by the Jesuit
missionaries that what is known as
'.block printing had been practiced in
China from the very earliest year of our
era. it is extremely probable that the an
Gent Chinese bank notes were impress
sions taken from engraved blocks of wood
In what manner the medieval European
banks of deposit made acknowledgements
of their Indebtedness is a mystery The
first banks of deposit and exchange were
established IN Italy, very possibly on
Roman lines.
The early Italian 'banco" was simply a
money CHANGERS desk or counter and
when the fnancier was unable to dis
charge his pecuniary obligations his
bench or counter was hewn in twain, and
by metonomy the solvent tinancier was
said to be ''banco rorto," or bankrupt.
AS for the bank note it seems to have had
a doubtful origin, partaking equally of
the character of a certificate of deposit
and of a promissory note or bill OF ez-
change. { The acceptor of the note con-
fided to the banker a certain sum in
specie, which the banker kept in his
vaults, thus saving his customer the ex
pense and the danger Of carrying large
sums of money from place to place at a
time when Europe was almost constantly
convulsed by war. and the line of demar-
cation between soldiers and brigands was
of the thinnest possible description.
The banks Of Venice and of Amsterdam
issued these certificates and promissory

A PHOTOGRAPHIC GALLERY.

A column might be written on the col
lection of photographs, ambrotypes and
tlntypeS which form part of the deceased
soldiers effects Even the old-time
daguerreotype is not absent. There are
pictures of elderly people taken in far
distant lands, perhaps the soldiers
parents there are buxom matrons and
chubby infants, whom the soldiers left in
tine fatherland when they crossed the
Atlantic to seek fortune and find death
instead The soldiers themselves are
present in fatigue dress, in full uniform
and even in citizens clothes. Their COM
rades are there also, singly and in squads
Two or three Of The pictures are OF
somewhat grewsOme character, being
photographs of unknown soldiers taken
after death, apparently with the idea
that they might be recognized at some
future time. They were killed while
facing the enemy, as evidenced by bullet
marks on face and forehead Not lOr e
since photograph of an officer of Now
FORK volunteers was found among some
old paymaster's vouchers. How it came
there no one knew. The officer died du-
ring the war After some inquiries his
widow was found and the photograph
sent to her, much to her surprise IL was
like a message from a loved one who had
been dead for more than a quarter Of a
century.

tiers on duty in the war department had

Among other things he found parcel Of
allotment checks drawn on the assistant
treasurer, New York, in 1862 and 1853
in favor of allotees of soldiers of two
New York regiments. These checks, 245
in number and Sll ,675 in amount are not
Endorsed and bear no evidence either of
presentation or payment. They were
transferred to the second auditor. 1t APP
pears that the paymaster by whom they
were drawn was a defaulter to the extent
Of $21.S00. In communion with q wicked
partner" he had used public funds
10 purchase large quantity Of timber on
lands in Virginia. When his defalcation
came to light, it was discovered that his
official bond was so informal and defec-
tive that the sureties could not be held,
and the matter was compromised by the
government taking possession Of the tim
Der, the paymaster being credited with
the value thereof, $4,000. His friends
paid 81 800 into the treasury. and he es-
capped with simple dismissal from the
service. The most singular feature Of
this case is that there is no record that
any of the allottees ever made application

SESSIONS OF F. M. B. A.
DELEGATES INSIST ON LOWER TAX
ALTON ON FARM LANDS.
C. A. Robinson Reelected President
of the State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the Resolutions Adopted.

The F. NJ. B. A. held its fifth annual
meeting at English's Hotel yesterday.
Twenty-four delegates were present, repre-
senting the 1900 members which the Or
ganization has in this State. The first ses-
sion Of the meeting began at IL o'clock
yesterday morning and was spent in the
appointment or committees and the work
OF organization. President C. A. Robinson
delivered his annual address In which he
said 1t was not necessary to recall the
abuses heaped upon the farmer by the
bribe-cursed minions OF the money monger,
nor TO discuss the right of the farmer to
enter politics. He said the farmer was a
greater factor Than any other man in pol
itics. After the address committees were
appointed as follows: On credentials, F. j.
Ciaypool, of Delaware; L. III. Johnson. of
vermillion; Henry Gable, of Jefferson. On
finance, F. j. Satler, Of Rush; +. ]. Clay
pool. of Delaware; L. Fl. johnson, of Ver-
million. On organization, H. C. Robinson,
of Vigo; II. ]. Pence, of Wabash; Reuben
Henley, OF Rush. On resolutions, j. S.
Hutchings. Of Delaware; John NJ. Spence;
j. c. Wickizer, Of Marshall; S. L. Legg, and
j. w. Randolph.
The committed on organization reported
a method of bringing about better trade
advantages to the farmer. The committee
said it had offers from prominent grain
dealers in Toledo and Chicago to receive
grain direct from the farmer and permit
him to draw on them at once through the
local bank. for 30 per cent. of the value.
This arrangement, 1t Is said. will be a
great advantage to the farmers In market
ing their clover seed. Arrangements were
also made for putting the members Of the
association In one part of the State in COM
munication with members in other parts
for the purpose Of making direct exchange
of goods.
The meeting ended last night with the re-
port of the resolutions committee. The re-
port of the committee, which was adopted,
favored good roads, but was opposed to the
farmers being compelled to pay road taxes
in cash. and condemned the issuing of rail-
road passes. Among the other resolutions
were the following: I'VE recognize the
right of the State to levy taxes on the ag-
ricultural interests of the State for the
support of our public expenditures, but we
insist that the constant depreciation of the
value of farm lands calls for a lower rate
of taxation on said lands"
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, G. A. Robin
son, of Fountaintown: vice president,
Thomas Wadsworth, of Raglesville; secre-
tary, /. ii. Johnson. OF Ril%eysburg; treas
urer, Z. j. Satler, of Carthage.
