with the action of foreign governments in suspending payments upon bills of ex- change and other negotiable instruments
 representing credit which is what tho
 word moratorium means we were in po-
 sition even before the federal reserve
 board was created to throw up impreg-
 nable barriers against a shipment of gold
 and also to utilize these new instruments
 of credit for the purpose of protecting
 business and enabling merchants and
 manufacturers everywhere to realize that
 their needs would be cared for by the
 banks.
 A Wonderful Evolution
 Sometimes in informal discussions at
 leisure moments in bank offices or in
 clubs where financiers meet it has been
 said that it seems strange that Great Britain and the nations of Europe have not taken heed of the wonderful man
 ner in which clearing house methods
 have been developed in the United States. Sixty years ago the New York Clearing House association was established,
 chiefly as matter Of convenience. Be-
 fore that time bank messengers went out each day to collect from other banks checks and various items which had been deposited in the banks which sent out the messengers. Sometimes messengers
 could be seen transporting in d barrel silver which had been paid to them. At first the clearing house association did not realize what it's latent powers
 were A faint hint of the. extent of these powers was represented by the ac- i ton of the clearing house at the opening of the civil war when a few millions of certificates based upon bank assets and
 resources were issued But as time went on and railroads expanded and a great
 domestic as well as foraign commerce was developed it was discovered that very many of the domestic and prac- tically all of the foreign transactions
 were represented directly or indirectly in the yearly records made by the clearing house association, which at last aggre- gated considerably in excess of s10O,000, GOO 0O0.
 Soon after the close of the civil war, when transactions were daily increasing through the New York clearing house, l it became evident that this association first organized as a simple device for the daily swapping of checks between
 banks with cash payments upon balances contained really the germs of the most perfect economic organization the f. nancial world had ever known. The clearing house through exchange, which | is really the swapping of checks. perfects barter so that only comparatively small amount of cash is needed in or der to meet balances. The record of the I New York clearing house in recent years shows that in round numbers. S5.000, COG l of cash was all that was needed in or 1 der to discharge the balances which fol | lowed after exchanges of $1O0 000, ,Oo0, ,000 l The feeling in this city is that if with | the CO., operation of the federal reserve l board there can be established here a 1 foreign exchange clearing house in all probability this will become a perma- nent institution, and will serve in time oi war and when peace comes for the ad- Nvancement of American international
 trade.

GEORGE PEABODY.

About forty years ago the best ship in
the British Navy sailed from England on
a strange 'errand. Upon it was the body
of an American Citizen. The coffin was
draped with the Stars and Stripes and the
Royal British Ensign. Before sailing, the
body was honored with services at West
minister Abbey. This was the first time
in the history of England that the tomb
Of England's Kings and Queens was
opened to a private citizen of any foreign
country. A fleet from the United States
Navy met the British ship and escorted 1t
to he American shores. Such was the
last homecoming of the man who, at the
age OF eleven years, was forced to make
his own living.
Geo. Peabody was born of poor parents
and at the age Of II years went to work
in a grocery store. At the age of 10 he
became a partner in a general mercantile
concern, and by careful saving and hard
work he was subsequently able to start q
banking business In London for handling
American money abroad.
Ills faculty for overcoming obstacles
was remarkable, and his determined eff
forts were always successful.
He was one of Americas noblest busi-
ness men and his philanthropies reached
all over the world. His favorite maxim
was: D unto others as you would nave
them do unto you.o

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-07-11
u. s. Protects
Former Adviser
TO Gen. HuertQ

VERA CRUZ, July 11.-Threats
made to assassinate Quierido Mohono,
Huerta's former cabinet minister, led
to extraordinary precautions being Ia
ken by the American authorities today
to protect Mohono on thearrival of the
steamer Espagne. Having escaped the
clutches of Huerta, Mohono is on his
way to Havana, from Porto Mexico
and will be joined by his family here.
Remembering the turbulence that
followed the arrival of DR.. Urrutia
here, General Funston would be glad
to hear that Mohono had decided not
TO come ashore, but in the absence
of sluch information preparations were
made to prevent any attempt on the
fugitive's life.
Octavio Campero, agent for General
Carranza, is very active here and his
efforts to gain adherents for the rebel
cause are causing ill feeling among the
Huertistas that threatens to burst into
flame. Federal soldiers who took part
in the recent abortive mutiny in the
Mexican outposts, declare that Cam
pero was responsible for the slaughter
of their comrades when they revolted.
