discussed this point in our Junto,
where was on the side of an addition
being persuaded that the first small
sum struck in 1923 had done much
good by increasing the tarde, employ
ment, and number of inhabitants in
the province, since now saw all the
old houses inhabited, and many new
ones building; whereas / remembered
the streets Of Philadelphia. eating my
roll, | saw most of the houses in Wal
nut street, between Second and Front
streets, with bills on their doors. ITO
be let: and many likewise on Chest
nut street and other streets, which
made me then think the inhabitants
of the city were deserving it one after
another.
Cur debates possessed me 80 full
Of the subject that.I wrote and print
ed an anonymous pamphlet on it, en-
titled THE Nature and Necessity os
a Paper Currency 1t was well re-
caived by the common people in gen
eral: but the rich men, disliked it be-
cause it increased and strengthened
the clamor for more money. and they
happening to have no writer's among
them that were able to answer it. their
opposition slackened, and the point
was carried by majority in the
House. Ny friends there, who con
ceived | had been of some service,
thought fit to reward me by employ
ing me in printing the money; very
profitable job and great help to me.
This was another advantage gained
By my being able to write.
1.-The utility of this currency became
by time and experience so evident as
never afterwards to be much disput-
ed; so that it grew soon to fifty-five
thousand pounds, since which it arose
during war to upwards of three hun
dred and fifty thousand pounds, trade,
building, and inhabitants, all the while

BEN FRANKLIN ON PAPER CUR
RENcY

The Publisers' Auxiliary is printing
an interesting series of articles en-
titled: my Printing Experience, by
BENJAMIN Franklin"
The articles are to be printed in
book form and they are so quaint and
so full of homely wisdom that the
book will make valuable addition to
ones library.
It will be observed that then as now
naper currency was favored and OPP
posed by the same interests
The wise old philosophers idea OF
the value of paper money is told after
the following fashion:
about this time 1923 there was a
CRY among the people for more paper
money. only fifteen thousand pounds
being extent in the province, and that
soon to be sunk. The wealthy inhabi-
tants opposed any addition. being
against all paper currency. from an
apprehension that it would depreciate.
As it had dcne in New England, te
prejudice Of all creditors.

In ''Robur the Conqueror," published
in 1856, Verne not only pictured the

it is a REV Of the city of Bristol, in
