"FRENZIED FINANCE.”
With allver at 75hd. per ounce, an English shilling is worth just upon 112d. It has long been a criminal offence to sell a sovereign for several shillings over the nominal twenty, and now it will be equally criminal to sell a shilling for thirteen pence. Before the war a shilling used to be worth, as metal, about sixpence perhaps jess. It was not legal to teader more than £3 in silver. Nowa- days the question of legality would never arise because nobody would think of tendering it. Paper drove cut gold, and now it has driven out silver. If the issues. ga on insi creasing instead of being restrict- ed, they will drive out copper. and we shall awake one fine morn ing to find England a purely Bolah- evik country.

Perhaps, compared with advocating the destruction of paper, this should be called constructive criticism, but it is only erecting a frail barrier. If paper-went on in- creasing, as there is every sign of it doing, the copper would disappear; and then it would be the turn of nickel. It seems very near lunacy.
