TALKS WITH WORKERS.
During the past few weeks The Times Trade supplement has been publishing a series of articles on Ten minute Talks with Workers, one of which we reproduce as follows
Before you begin to discuss any topic in the economics of money say over to yourself three times very frmly the following tag:-" What is the price of a pound of strawberries? Half-a-crown. What is the price of half-a-crown? A pound of strawber nes.

on sale. Suppose that one man had an absolute monopoly of the supply of wagons, and largely over-estimated the number fequired. Then, in order to recoup himself for making use less wagons, he would have to charge more for those actually used. Now the supply of the goods shifting tool, money, is actually in the hands. of one authority-the Government, and if it issues more money than is needed the users of money will have to pay for the mistake in higher prices for the same goods, or fewer goods for the same prices.
As trade increases, that is, as the quantity of goods to be shifted in creases, the number of wagons and sovereigns required to shift them also increases. One of the most import ant functions of the Government is to issue the necessary addition to the supply of sovereigns, and, as it has to give in goods for the gold as much as it gets in goods for the sovereign, it is under no temptation to issus more money than the markets will readily absorb without affecting prices.
If, however, instead of coining gold i into sovereigns, the Government is allowed to print pretty little bits of paper and call theta.pounds," the case is altered at once. There is not a single farthing of proft in any sovereign: a 'Bradbury" is all profit.

St. Helena. isle of the great Napoleon's exile, wants the ex-Kaiser. Not only do the community want him, but, believing in the perfect propriety of the wish, they are con fidently expecting, writes a corres pondent in the Daily Express, that the fallen Emperor will, when his trial is over, be sent to St. Helena, there to end his disastrous life as his greater forerunner did.
It the Allied Tribunal bänish the ex-Kaiser to St. Helena, his chance of escape, scheme he ever so, will be very remote. The nearest land is the island of Ascension, 760 miles away and a British naval station. Africa is 1,200 miles distant, and South America 1,800 miles.
The little historic island, with a population of only 4,000, supporu a weekly newspaper, the St. Helma Observer. The Observer heads a leader on the subject Send Him Here, and it reports that not since 1901 has the island been so excited as it is now at the prospect of adding to its dignity by another imperial hostage to fortune..
The excitement of 1901 was due to the report that the All Highest intended to intervene in the Bier

Movements in the market price of strawberries are well worth observ. ing: They have a comparatively short "season," and during so short la period the quantity of money cur- rent in the country can be regarded as constant, or so nearly constant as not to affect matter much. Then, as the quantity of strawberries offered for sale increases, the price falls. The first strawberries, sent to the market this year sold readily at 25s to 30s, a pourd. Very good straw. berries have been on sale at half-a crown a pound, and the price has dropped to 1s. 65. for rather inferior fruit. remaining current and the supply of goody increasing, we get more goods for a given coin, we can see that the contrary is true, also. If goods re- main constant in quantity and the supply of money increases, we shall have to give more coina for a given quantity of goods. In short, cne cause of higher prices is more money It is not the only cause for prices rise as goods become scarcet. But all goods do not become scarce at one and the same time, and a general rise of prices is fairly certain to be due to an increased supply of money.
