In chapter on Currency, Banking
and Credit" In which tho colonial banking
systems Of India, Egypt, Indo-China,
Algeria and Java are considered, Prof.
Reinsch draws from tho experience thus
far accumulated the deduction that a special
organization must be given to credit and
banking systems in colonies. He would
have our colonial administrators recognize
that bank combining it's operations to
single locality will not succeed as well in
colonies as 1t may In we'll developed coun-
try which has more diversified interests
Moreover, large corporation. known
In financial circles through the direct per-
sonal contact Of its agents with the captains
OF finance, has far greater facilities for OBJ
tanning the funds needed for its purposes
than are at the command Of purely local
institution. Then again, while all the
ordinary processes Of the business OF bank
ing are, of course, transplanted to the
colonies. the operations OF disoounting, Of
exchange and Of issue must assume different
characters under tho new conditions.
II
Tendencies mon and enterprises are to be
judged Ices according to fixed standards
than in older countries. Far greater lati-
tude in the granting Of credit Is therefore
necessary. The business OF exchange,
too. plays more important part in colonial
bank, on account OF the comparatively
unsettled condition of the colonial currency.
A principle that seems to stand out clearly
from the experience OF France lie that
while 1t is desirable to establish insttu-
tions Of agricultural credit, they should
be sharply distinguished from the business
OF general banking. The validity Of
agricultural credit is so difficult to deter
mine according to merely commercial rules
that our author would have 1t undertaken
only by an institution that gives all it's
attention to the gauging Of probable agri-
cultural values. We observe, lastly. that
colonial banks have been successfully
utilized for the purpose OF providing a
currency. The metallic reserve upon
which this currency rests ought, in our
authors judgment, to be certainly not less
than one-third OF the note issue-the rule
in the French colonies. Prof. Reinsch
thinks that the adoption of the United
States banking system, which is contem-
plated in the Philippine Islands, and for
which there is precedent in the experience
Of Cape Colony, would hold out fair
promise in now lands, because, while it
perfectly secures the issue, it relieves the
bank from the necessity Of holding large
reserve in coin, and thus tying up the circu-
lating medium.

author cautions us not to forget how easily

a colony may be compromised through
charges which impose heavy weight upon

In the chapter on Agriculture and In
dustry," an attempt is made to formulate
the principal economical problems pre-
sented in tropical countries. Such countries
are generally inclined to monoculture.
Either the natives, lacking any special in
centive beyond present needs, give them
selves entirely to the production of that
kind OF staple which is most easily raised
on their land, or the planters who have
some capital at their disposal find that
certain culture far exceeds others in profit
ableness for the time being, and therefore
concentrate their efforts entirely upon
one line of production. For example, the
population Of Indo-China and OF Burmah.
as we'll as Of Java, originally engaged al
most exclusively in the production Of rice.
The West Indian Planters, especially in
the French colonies, staked everything
upon sugar; and when this industry rapidly
declined under the competition Of the beet
sugar of Europe they were reluctant to
renounce it, although thereby they courted
great and lasting financial disaster. Evil
IDENTITY, the very first principle OF economic
development in a tropical country should
be to insist upon a diversifcation Of cul-
lures. This is most easily accomplished
by bringing under cultivation the higher
regions, which are hardly ever titled regu-
larly by the natives. Without interfer-
ing with native tenures or customs, ex-
ceedingly rich and profitable cultures may
thus be introduced and the wealth Of
colony increased manifold in a short time.
The cultivation Of coffee in Java. Ct tea
in Ceylon and Assam. and Of ca $40 in Cey-
lon, is carried on in the hill regions. The
dversification Of tropical agriculture is,
however. a problem OF great difficulty
both on account Of the reluctance Of the
natives to change methods that have been
Flowed for centuries, and on account of
their poverty. which forbids experiment a
ton and holds them strictly to the raising
Of imme ediately mark cable products.
The agricultural products of the Philip
pine Islands are hemp, sugar, cocoanut
and other oils, and tobacco. Undoubtedly
the higher regions would prove favorable
to the cultivation Of coffee. tea and cacao.
Thus far, however, practically the only
profitable products have been hemp and
sugar; and Prof. Reinsch notes that while
some increase has been shown in the e1-
portation Of hemp, which requires little
labor in Its preparation, the sugar industry

The authors general conclusions are sot
forth In his introduction. His studies nave
con vinced him that II Ia not wise for tho
colonial legislator to attempt too much, TO
have too ambitious programme From
the ground up should be his motto, He
should not try TO bcstow upon backward
races the blessings OF a civilization which
they cannot understand, and which may
be a deadly poison In the form In which
they are offered; but to work In alliance
with the universal forces OF social evolu-
tion. to battle against the exploitadve
tendencies which would carry us back
into another age Of barbarism more cruel
and more difficult to overcome than any
formerly experienced, and to give to the
more primitive societies a secure economic
foundation for future progress and de-
velopment-such. in his judgment. should
be the aim of sound colonial policy. His
investigations have convinced him that
II rightly planned, the economic reforms
which it is in the power Of the colonial
legislator to effect successfully may. like

turbed Paul Revere did ride to Lexington

left to Boston antiquarians to squabble
over, and most people will agree that Long
fellow was justified in twisting the facts
a little for poetic effect Not many poets
could stand the criticisms OF antiquarians
so well. Why there should be any acri-
mony in the matter Bostonians alone can
tell.
Mr.. Gettemy's book is very complete
monograph on Revere. 1t would be more
interesting il he had given an objective
account Of the expedition to Castine and
quoted his documents in full As it Is he
limits himself to what relates to Revere,
and leave his readers as much in doubt
whether to blame as Revere's contem-
poraries seem to have been. 1t is curious
to note how his tone changes from restrained
blame whenever the matter in hand is Of
controversial kind to ready praise where
Revere's fellow towns men agree with him.
The episodes in which Revere figured
were slight perhaps, but they were pic
turesque and there Is little OF that sort
in our history that We can afford to lose.
This volume presents the facts in the case
with much fulness and leaves an attractive
picture OF one of our worthless.

Ono OF the most interesting chapters
treats OF colonial taxation. and reviews the
experiments Of Britain France, Holland
and other countries. directing special
attention to the land tax in India in Egypt,
In Algeria and in Java; to the hut tax in
British South Africa, and to ca-itltion,
income and business taxes. Scarcely any
space Is devoted to the self-governing
colol.es of Great Britain, because, in these
practically independent States. peoped
by the descendants Of European settlers,
taxation problems assume in general the
same aspects which they present in Euro
pean and American countries. In tropical
colonies and dependencies. on the other
hand, financial questions mut be ap-
preached from an entirely different point of
view Governments there have to deal with
populations unaccustomed to taxation,
or bound to financ ncial systems too inflexible
for the needs Of modern economic develop
ment. In barbarian communities the
system Of taxation resolves itself ordi-
narily into a confiscaio1 by the ruler OF
all the products Of industry which are not
absolutely necessary to provide a bare
living for the cultivators of the soil and for
the handicraftsman. Under barbarian rule
the moneyed classes are allowed to exist
only on condition that they will from time
to time submit to the exaction Of forced
loans in favor of the royal exchequer. Such,
in general outline, was the system to which
the States OF India had become accustomed
through the practice OF centuries before the
British conquest. That it obstructs all
opportunities Of social progress, and dis
'oourages the accumulation OF the economic
surplus required for the work Of civiliza-
ton, Is obvious. A truly civilized system
OF colonial finance must first OF sli try TO
solve the problem how taxation can bs made

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fiendish malice ON those
who use it,
lady writing from Calf says:-
MY husband and /, both lovers OF
coHee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort of af-
lection OF the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
i was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew 1t to one side, causing me the
most intense pain We got no relief
from medicine. and were puzzled as
TO what caused the trouble, until a
friend suggested that possibly the cot.
fee we drank had something to do
with 1t, and advised that we quit il
and try Postum Coffee
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
very short time both of us were
entirely relieved, The nerves became
steady once more. the headaches
ceased, the muscles In the back of NV
neck relaxed my head straightened
up and the dreadful pain that had SO
punished me while used the old kind
of coffee vanished
We have never resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as We did the
former beverage, And we are de
lighted to find that we can give /,
freely to our children also, something
we never dared TO do with the old
