declaring unstrung wampum no longer
to be legal tender. This was going to
the opposite extreme, and the little
Dutch colony came near financial
panic. Six months later loose and i'm
perfect wampum had to be declared le-
gal tender
In Massachusetts wampum became
legal tender in 1910, but twenty-one
years later the coming of silver was
authorized, and this more stable me-
dunn soon drove wampum beads out
of circulation.
After the Revolutionary war money
was so scarce that wampum came
into use again. 1t persisted here and
there as money until the nineteenth
century, and, indeed, wampum in va
rious forms, including pipes and
moons, were considerably used in the
United States until as late as 1880.
The financial requirements of the
Revolutionary war resulted in the es-
tablishing of Americas first banks.
The initial undertaking was the Bank
of Pennsylvania, which was started in
July, 17S0. 1t was described by the
well-known fnancier Morris as moth
ing more than a patriotic subscription
of continental money for the purpose
of purchasing provisions for a starv-
ing army" In the decade 11S0-1790,
three other financial institutions were
launched; the Bank of New York,
Of
North America This latter is general
ly considered TO be the first bank in the
United States and was capitalized at
S10,000,000. Actual subscriptions. how
ever, were very hard to secure and
only $4,000 was obtained. The gov
eminent contributed 100000 in specie.
The New York Stock Exchange has
been traced back to a meeting of TWEEN
ty-four brokers under a tree opposite
60 Wall street, May IT, 1892. The
purpose of the meeting was to agree
on uniform commissions. Thereafter
the brokers met at "TOntine Coffee
House." Wall and Water streets. The
final organization of the Stock Ex-
change was completed in 1917. The
Philadelphia Stock Exchange also
started in a coffee house.
The malodorous 'bucketshop" re-
ceived its name from England. On
the east side of London loafers had
a custom of going from street TO street
and draining every keg of beer they
could find The liquor was placed in a
bucket. After it was filed these hard
characters retired To some out of the
way corner and caroused. passing the
bucket from one to another. The term
''bucketshop." at first meaning assem-
blages of this kind. came to be applied
TO any establishment of doubtful Tepu-
tation.

wants of his family DC Tot require,
with the power TO reclaim all, or parf
of it, at pleasure. it would be a moss
desirable thing, even if no interest
should be received"
OF course there were pessimists and
suspicion and prejudice to overcome.
but at last in 1910 the bank was opened
in little shingled cottage. There
were no vaults but large iron strong
box, too heavy to move by hand, an
swered the purpose. In view of the
. suspicion which he says was enter
tanned by many, Doctor Duncan pro-
vided three locks for the strong box.
He held one key and two elders of
his church each held the others. OF
course the box could not be opened
without all three keys, in the presence
of all three trustees.
In the first year the deposits
amounted to f151. In the second year
f176 was deposited. This grew TO
f241 in the third. and 1922, or more
than $4,000, in the fourth. For a
poverty-stricken village these deposits.
aggregating more than $1,000, were re-
garded as remarkable, since it must
be remembered that all deposits were
in small sums.
The effect of the opening of the
savings bank on the village was all
that Doctor Duncan hoped for. With
in year there was a remarkable de-
crease in the number of those who
sought charity. Thrift and happiness
replaced poverty and discomfort. With
in a few years there was scarcely a
pauper in the village, as Doctor Dun
can records.
In the meanwhile the fame of this
remarkable little institution began TO
spread and Doctor Duncan soon found
that his labors as a minister were
swallowed up by those of a banker.
His correspondence increased day by
day. letters poured in from all over
England and the continent of Europe
and from America asking for informa-
ton.
In 1914 he published a book on saw
ings banks, which was widely circu-
lated, and savings banks began to
spread throughout the British Isles. 1t
seems strange at this time to read that
savings banks could have aroused op-
position. This, however, was a fact
There was a bitter fight in parliament
before the first savings bank act was
passed in 1917. CObbett, the best
known editor of his day, used his
powerful influence against the plan
but Doctor Duncan was a fighter as
well as a philanthropist. He went
before the committee of parliament
| himself and so impressed both lords
| and commons with his sincerity. the
force of his personality and the jus
tice of his cause that the bill was
passed. This was in 1917. Savings
banks spread rapidly over Great Brit.
ain and then over all the rest of the
| world.
