But i€ he pos- senses such a genits for business, how could thpse star-route rascalitles have been com- mitted under his Innocent, unsuspecting nose? Brady’s wealth proves tuo much. If he fg innocent of the crime of having stolen “money from the Goyornment, he ennnot be Innocent of the charge of haylng neglected his oflcini duty. ‘Tho Government has been robbed right and left, ‘Ihe star-route con- tractors plunged thelr thioying hands deep into thoGovornment bag, thestrings of which Brady wasnppointedtohold tight, and drew them out full of money! Meantine, whillo, the Government was bolus robbed Brady grew rich, And now that the robbery has been discoveréd Brady, tho custodian of the abstracted fund, not unly protests his inno- conce, but protests against any effort bel made to discover, pursue, and punish the guilty parties, whoever thoy may bel If these be not signs of rnscality then all signs fall. What is to bo expected of a defendant so nolsy,80 malignant, sonudactous ? Doubtless that he will exhaust the whole arsenal of tlefenses in his efforis to keep clear of tho Jenitentlary.

Inan article In the Nineteenth Century for Juno, Mr. If... Greonfell discusses tho question: once Inrgely discussed tn England. asto “What was n pound and what may be apound.” ‘The writer is not a partisan for. or against angnometallism,.,He considers tho question economically ant. historically. * In tho first place he puluts ont that from 1717 to 1778, bimetallism ‘provatied in England, - during which perlod: an Englishman” could pay his debts in elthor silver or gold, Tho English “pound” was olther In gotd or silver, ‘The English system of motallic cur- roney was founded’ on the letter of Lord’ Liverpool on ‘coins, on the famonis ronort of tho Bullion Comimittes In 1810, und on tho. various acts leading to, tho resumption of apecto payments. Provious to 1810 the Brit igh clrculation was a papor ono, but provlous to the suspenslon of speclo (or, as ft 1s called in England, cash) payments i was bimetal-” lle, and nob measured bya gold standard. Sle Robert Peol, in 1819, In advocating a re- sumption of cash payments, urged that sound policy and justtes ahoutd inducaa re turn tu the “anclent and permanentstandard of: value.” ‘This -was not ‘done, however. ‘Tho return to's metallic curcancy was tine ited to. gold, witha provision fora minor allver currency, which Is now a legal-tender’ to the nnount of §10, ‘ ee, ; A quarter of 9 contury later Mr. Pool fn o speech on tho Bank act, discussing the prine ciple of the metalile standard of value, gatds It mnuat at tho saino thd bo udmitted that it would bo quite consistent with that principle to adopt some othor measure of vulug than that which wo havo udopted, It would bo conslstont with that principle to sclect allvor instead of gold na tho stundard, or to have # nixed stand- ard of gol) ana silver, the relattvs value of tho tivo metals being determined, or ig miaponae with gold coln altovothor, and reculato the amount and valuo of the paper ourrenuy by imaking it gonvertiule only, diecording to the proposal of Mr, Hicardo, into gold bullion of a ylyen mini- inioamount, =" and sngacious statesinan ‘of England wo seo that it would bo consistent with’ 9 motallic atandard of value’ to havo elther silver or. gold, or both, or, dispensing with gold col altogothor, have the paper money convertible only into Kold bullion,’ Something liko this condition ‘of thinga has practically been brought about at this timo; the gold and allvor of the world arenow deposited and held by the banks and “other depositoriés, only a amall amount being’ in circulation, the ex- changes and transfers thereof being made. by checks: atid bills pf exchange, the ofice of ourrenoy being performed by bank-bills, .So long as tho metalile fund Is equal in quantl- ty to the honoring of the paper. ropresonta- thves "drawn against .it, tho motatlia money: inay . well, reat. in, the bank yaults;- Its actual transfor -4a © wholly unnecessary, being both inconyonlent and cumbersome,’ Thus.
