Silver and Psychology.
The Great Wall.
There is a prevalent impression that the Great Wall of China, was a foolish affair, and that it no more kept qut invaders than the wall built by the Wise Men of Gotham kept in the cuckoo.
The silver proposals of Mr. Roosevelt have no relation to bi- metallism. That does not mean that they are unimportant: At least they will give a better look, to the small change of America. The psychological of rendering the substantial while ooinage more helping the silver producers is not entirely negligible.
About £60,000,000 of silver coin-of the Wall, age is used in the United States) and the collection and reminting of it would be a fairly large en terprise.
The increase of paper circulation by £100,000,000 sounds a very tall order. This increase seems to be quite necessary. If people will hoard currency, something has to be done to fill in the empty spaces in the banke, safes and tills.
When the new notes are issued the Federal Reserve system will still have gold cover equal to just over 40 per cent of its notes and de posits liabilities.

the Possibly United security States have perfected a method, mach favoured in that country, of rebuilding and renovating old battle ships, and so there is less need for new ones. Possibly the process has gone as far as that practised in England in the case of the old Victory, of whom it is said that the only original timber of Trafalgar days (the ship was then fifty-five years old) is the slip of wood under the brass tablet marking where Nelson fell!
