the year the authorized issue had

oft renewed good resolutions the Con-
federacy by July, 1863, had $1,000,000,-

Almost at the very end of the Con-

his veto. The funding plans resulted
in temporary contraction Of the cur

Confederate Money Still Used to
SWindIe Immigrants.
First Issue of Currency In South
Problems That Confronted the
Treasury of the Confederacy
During the War.

Observation-Disclosures money is still
\ favorite medium of the confidence
man in his dealings with the raw i'm.
migrant, though it is hardly a cur
rency to deceive any man acquainted
with the country's history or even
with the negotiable paper money of to-
day. 1t Is not surprising that confed-
crate money is SO plentiful after a
half a century as to make it more
valuable to the confidence man than
to the collector when one realizes the
immense amount turned out by the
industrious presses of the Confed-
eracy.
The Confederate treasury kept on
printing paper money almost up to the
fall OF Richmond. A note dated Rich
mond, February II, 1864, declares
upon it's face: THE Confederate
States of America will pay $40 to bear
er two years after the ratification of
treaty Of peace between the Confed-
crate States and the United States Of
America" When the Confederate
treasury began business there was a
clear enough perception among the
public men Of the Confederacy that
cheap money would be one Of their
governments perils. They had been
brought up in the old democratic
monetary theory Of currency CON-
posed Of gold and silver at fixed
ratio intended to correspond with
their relative bullion value, and paper
money based upon such currency.
Almost exactly fifty years ago the is-
sue of 100000 in Understanding
notes was authorized. This was the
earliest Confederate paper money is
sued. By July Of that year the treas.
ury had exceeded the authorized
amount, and the issue Of double the
original issue was then sanctioned by
law. The smallest denomination OF
these early issues was $50, for the
treasury hoped that means might be
