Under present conditions, nearly al

The primary difficulty is that bust

meet their obligations and are oblig-
ed to curtail their operations.
The great question is why this ma

times and why does it not work better
at other times?

CURRENCY VS.. CREDIT
MACHINERY

No one can think straight on bank
ing and monetary subjects who does
not understand the elementary distinc-
ton between money and the machinery
of credit.
In active commercial centers more
than 80 per cent of the exchanges OF
goods are effected without the use of
money. In the whole country proba-
bly, more than so per cent of the ex-
changes are so effected. The system
of bookkeeping conducted by banks is
the effective and flexible medium used
as a substitute for money.
The essential feature of this sys-
tenn of bookkeeping is the sale of
goods and services on time. These
contracts of the sale of goods and
services are recorded at banks by the
exchange of promissary notes or SINH
lar instruments for checking accounts
These accounts are set off against
