If “the ‘butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker,” employing that nur- sury-rhyme phrasé fo denote everybody in business, accepted a certain type of pebble in payment for goods, that pebble would be just as good in trade as genuine veatal i of the realm.” The same principle applies scrip, which is,just as good a money everybody accepts it. So it) behoover the business men and residents generally of Key West, if: they | wish to increase the amount ofmoney in local circulation and con- séguently enhance trading; to accept the serip that has been issued by the city. This assurance can be given'the peo- ple of: Key West: whenever a piece of scrip of either a dollar or 50 cents denomination has the required amount of stamps on it, it is worth its face value in money of the United States. The reason for that assurance is be- cause every cent that is paid for stamps is placed in a fund for the eventual re- demption of the scrip. All one has to do, when his scrip is covered with stamps, is to present it to the city treasury for pay- ment in real money. City officials have requested that, whenever 4 piece of scrip is used, .a stamp be placed 6h it in the presence of the ‘per- son receiving the scrip. If that precaution to city if ‘is taken, everybody who. handles the scrip will be paying his part, which is two per cent on each dollar, toward the turning of the scrip into real money, Further, it will mean the purchasing of more stamps, which is the most important factor in popularizing the scrip. According to city officers, wholesale grocers in Key West have agreed to ac- cept a certain percentage of scrip from the retailers, which justifies the latter in accepting scrip up to that amount. If that practice becomes general, all of the scrip issued from time to time can be accepte in local trade without adversely affecting its equilibrium, because at no time will there be more scrip in circulation than a small amount of the money used in ‘trans- acting’ local ‘business. The success or the failure of the scrip rests entirely with the people of Key West themselves. If they accept it readily, it will be a decided success, so much so that if will not. be long before. it will be re- ‘ceived’as readily as money. And as it will then meet every. re- quirement locally, as money. does, a dollar of scrip, exeept for the two-cent stamp, will be just as good as a dollar bill, be-| cause any kind of money, whether it is a pebble or gold, is just as good as any other kind, if it ean pay a dollar debt or buy a dollar’s worth of goods, DEPRESSION TALK “In times like these, we find our- selves in the midst of a serious financial and industrial crisis. It just seems incon- ceivable that conditions can ever right themselves ‘enough to have prosperous ‘hes inthe country again., Trade and in- dustry throughout the jlands are dis- ‘organized. Banks by the hundreds have Aailed, ..Securities, have, fallen to- one-half or eer-oné-qhatter of their former value. “The problem of unemployment has become general and in all large:cities spe- cial committees have been organized to provide food and clothing for the poor and unemployed. In addition to this effort, some cities have caused relief work to be instigated by public bodies. “The problem of unemployment has hecome genera! and in all large cities spe- \ cial committees have been organized to ; provide food and clothing for the poor and unemployed.

Extensive.competition, lowering | pricks’ and unwise. speculation have brotght about a crisis abounding in rumor } reports, most of which have no founda- | tion and do great damage. The renewal of confidence and the allaying of violent fear in the minds of the people, which will allow for'active buying, rather than money hoarding, must precede business recovery.” i As is indicated by the quotation marks, } the above language is not our own, but is | that of someone else. And it was not ut- | tered in 1933, either. it is from a speech by Daniel Webster, delivered in Detroit in 1837, nearly a cen- | tury ago. Truly, history repeats itself.
