Old Visiting Cards.

Some fifty years ago, when a house
In Dean street, Soho, was being re-
paired, on removing a marble chimney
piece in the front drawing room, four
or five "visiting" cards were found,
one with the name Of Isaac Newton on
lie. The names were all written on the
backs of common playing cards. The
house in Dean street was the resi-
lence of Hogarth, or his father-in-law

AN ELASTIC CURRENCY.

The Kind of Elastic the Bankers Use Is Not
Adapted for General Utility.
san elastic currency" is the latest
addition to the stock of cant phrases
by which the bank organs try to befog
the popular mind. A year ago when
silver was to be knocked on the head,
these organs were cock-sure that there
was no need of Initiating the cur
rency." Now that they want to give
us a flood of bank paper instead of
coined silver they discover that we
need an elastic currency" Silver
coin would "inflate" the currency,
bank paper with no intrinsic value at
ally will only make it elastic" What is
the difference between imitation" and
elasticity" Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, has pointed out the delusive
character of the elastic currency"
which the banks furnish. Between
1873 and 1879, when prices were fall
ing, and when the stringency of the
money market was as sharply defined
as at any period in the history of this
country; when the distress was almost
UNIVERSAL; when the federal troops had
to be called out to suppress hungry
and starving workmen, the banks then
showed how elastic their currency
could be--in the wrong direction. 1t
was then diminished instead of being
increased. Although everybody knew
that the people wanted more money,
because prices were falling, the banks
withdrew currency at the very time
when they ought to have increased it.
