Money. Currency, and Banking.
rIJ.-.s. ,....x...,a w ~

The subject of money and the laws
which govern it's distribution have been
made to appear so complicated that not
only persons of ordinary intelligence,
but experts on other subjects, shrink
from an article or book on money on
account Of its presumed incomprehensi-
bility. A strange mystery has grown
up with a subject that concerns every
civilized human beinf, and this mystery
has been, on the whole, detrimental to
the interests of commerce, whether in
goods or services. The ills that come to
merchants, manufacturers and working
men-to all who have anything to sell
or any desire to buy--have been increas-
ed and complicated by the money ques-
ton as it has been presented in differ
ent phases at different periods of theor-
lists, spectators, and the unthrifty. 1t
has served the purpose of some persons
at crucial periods to practise deception
concerning the nature of money In a
cruder civilization than our own 1T was
believed that money could be made out
of anything by the fiat of the govern
ment. Some people have professed to
think that much money in a country
means general prosperity, and they
point to the time of the war of seces-
sion and to the greenbacks of our own
country, to the period when the nation.
was piling up an enormous war debt,
which the people have since been payingH
off in enormous taxes. They think that
because some manufacturers of shoddy
some suffers, and some contractors
made their fortunes in those days, theH
whole country was rich, and that It'll
was cheap greenbacks that blessed us.
Many people who are ready to do their
for them accept this as the
truth; and yet If they stop to think for
themselves, their reason will tell them
that a country cannot grow rich by
great armies, Riches areI
not made in this way by those who stay
at home and pay out of their earnings
the cost Of the food, the shelter, the
the weapons, the powder and
bullets, the medical care, and the trans
portation of thousands of soldiers in the
field 1t will tell them also that the
wealth Of q country consists in what it |
produces, and therefore If q hundred |
thousands citizens are taken from the
fields and the shops to fight their neigh |
oors, the aggregate production for the
lime during which they are engaged in
or domestic murder will |
be less than 1t is when they are en-
1loyed in the less glorious arts of peace |
md that therefore the wealth of the
nation will be less nation rappn+ |
grow rich by fighting unless it conquers
he enemy, and compels him to pay not
,nly the expenses OF the war, but a
handsome profit on them. But up to
his no nation that ever won in a war
las begun to receive back anything
ike the awful cost Of it. There is no
eason to believe that any conquerer
will ever be repaid in wealth or it's rep
esentative, money for the expenditure
involved in his triumph. Reason will

The Coolest Place in the world.

The word 'arctic" has beenvery much
in evidence during the cold weather of
the last few weeks, and perhaps there
are those who imagine 1t could hardly
be colder at the North Pole than 1t has
been in England lately. To them the
following facts and figures may be in
teresting The coolest inhabited spot
on the earth is the little town of Wer-
chojansk, in Siberia, which is situated
81 deg. 81 min. north latitude, 1873 deg
min. east longitude The lowest tenn
perature observed there Is --g04 degrees
F. The average temperature for Jan
uary is -634 degrees r., February sos
degrees f., March -1S.t degrees. IT.,
April -3,2 degrees II, May 80 degrees
r., June so degrees F., July --572 de-
grees. f., August -42.S degrees F., Sep
TENDER PA degrees F. October % de-
grees f., November 10 degrees f., De-
cember SIS degrees F. The terrible
cold which prevails in Eastern Siberia
Is, fortunately, not accompanied by
wind, for otherwise no human being
could exist there. The minimum tenn
perature at Jakutsk is --79.6 degrees r; +
and at Ustjansk -63.2 degrees IT., and
during the whole month of January the
never reaches the height
of IA degrees f. The winters are extra
ordinary dry in this region. The low
ness of temperature is due to the fact
that Eastern Siberia is not influenced
by oceanic depressions, and very high
atmospheric PRESSURE with calm, clear
weather and a. dry atmosphere, pre-
walls. In this way the warm air cur
rents are aided in their escape, while
the high mountain ranges In the south
and east tend to imprison the masses Of
cold air. Hedenstrom and Wrangell
have published very remarkable reports
on the effect of the cold upon the liv-
ing organism in Siberia. If the temper
allure sinks to 40 degrees b., every
breath that is drawn causes pain in the
chest and lungs. Old tree-trunks burst
with the frost; rocks are shattered with
a noise like thunder; and deep chasms
form in the ground, from which streams
Of water rush steaming, only to be turn
ed into ice the next moment.-We stmirl-
