Gilbert, in his history Of banking, says
that the four essentials Of banking are,
Q) borrowing money, (0 lending, % ex-

national government does the first, third

The question is not new. In Athens
money was usually deposited in the
temples. Xenopon, 400 B. G., proposed
to use the money by forming all others
into one vast banking company and cir
eulating the deposits by building docks,
ships, ETC., and making other public inn
proVements, but the scheme was never
carried out. The Romans had public banks
which lent to the poor without interest.

liberation she has always manifested,
leaving out Lafayette, who was univer-
sal patriot. Just as Garibaldi was. and an
enthusiast on tho subject of human lber-
~. France has never manifested any
frlendiiness for us. or ever regarded this
country as more than third or fourth
rate power. In the days OF our struggle
for Independence. Frances patronizing
encouragement was duo TO her dislike of
England and not love for the new repub-
lie. II is not forgotten. too. that our en-
counter with Taileyrand In the field OF d.
plomacy led to a very hot outburst OF in
dIgnation on the part of the American
people. and aroused the cry millions for
defense but not a cent for tribute"
Tho purchase OF Louisiana was con-
scented To not from any desire 10 accede 10
our wishes. but because France badly
needed the twelve millions OF dollars we
agreed to pay. and because tho loss OF ter
ritory was Inevitable. We took advantage
OF Napoleon's trouble with England TO ac-
complish splendid but peaceful victory.
as we took advantage OF SPANS trouble
with Cuba TO enforce payment OF the Mora

THE DIVINE RATIO.

The divine ratio has dropped out OF
sight lately. but 1t gave convulsive kick
at meeting OF free silverites In Eastern
washington, when a speaker declared that
the Bible was authority for the equal
value OF gold and silver. We have already
pointed out that in the time OF Amos the
poor were defrauded by making the
ephah small and the shekel great" so that
the poor might be bought for silver. This
was about 7s7 B. c.. but nearly 200 years
before that time there was an imitation of
silver currency.
The veracious chronicler OF the Kings
tells that even in Solomon's time silver
money was so plentiful that 1t fell In
price and gold was at premium. And
all King Solomon's drinking vessels were
OF gold. and all the vessels Of the house
were of pure gold: none were Of silver.
1t was nothing accounted OF in the days OF
Solomon" q Kings. KID. And the
king made silver to be in Jerusalem as
stones" so plentiful was it. The effect OF
this free and unlimited silver was to en-
nance the price of everything. and q
Kings xi:20 it is explicitly shown that
chariot sold for 600 shekels of silver and a
horse for $50 shekels of silver.
The silver shekel is supposed to have
been worth about 50 to 60 cents, so that
horse sold for SIS or $50. According TO the
Babylonian system 1t would have been
rather over 80 cents. The Phoenicians We're
more exact and their talents were equal
TO 1900 shekels AS the talent weighed
$4,000 grains the shekel would contain 3l2
grains. which compared to our l2ls grains
would make it almost rs cents.
The relation OF gold to silver in the
earliest days of coined money. which is
usually set at 700 B. c.. and for long after,
was 1879 to j. consequently. says Regi-
nald S. Poole the English numismatist,
It was found announcement to use the same
standard for the two metals. The ancients
had, therefore. the same trouble as we
have now.
The fluctuations in ratio have been very
great and have compelled frequent
changes in the monetary system. From
1898 to 1870 1t was 1L3 and by 1879 it had
reached 1889.
This deviation has been attended at all
times by financial and business troubles
due to the absence of an international
agreement, one nation never falling to
take advantage of the others difference
