A Latin poet has told us that money does not smell of its source (pecunia non olet), and in our own days the assertion that money has Colman on the charges of trafficking in women Accounts for the year 1903 and for the half for Cash,
no sentiment is seldom challenged. The pa tion that the Rothschilds or other great finan ciers in Europe or the United States might be influenced in their investment or speculation by political sympathies would ordinarily be scouted as preposterdus. Yet bankers are human beings and nothing is more certain than that they are often prompted by patriotic or friendly motives to take risks of which their judgment, if unbiassed by feeling, would dis comparative ease with which a Government in approve. In no other way can we explain the
time of need can borrow money from its own abjects or citizens, when similar accommoda- tion from foreigners is scarcely attainable on endurable terms. Memorable examples of a willingness to let patriotic consideration out- weigh the dictates of prudence were afforded by the New ork bankers at more than one critical conjuncture of our civil war.
Not only patriotism but friendship sometimes in finance. There was much more sentiment than business in the consent of French, manu-
facturers to sell on credit arms and ammuni tion, and of French bankers to lend part of their capital, to the United States during the first twenty months of the Revolutionary War, when as yet it was yet doubtful whether the Government of Louis XVI would enter into a formal alliance with the new bom American repúblic. o rensonoble person will pretend during the last few years Russian borrowers could have extracted from Frenchmen, normal ly tight-fisted, loan after loan, the aggregate of which is put at $400,000,000, but for the enthusiasm with which patriotic bankers wel. comed a political league which seemed to secure to their beloved France national rehabi litation, or is it for a moment, disputable that the German financiers are now, as they long have been, so keenly sensible of the expediency of helping a probable friend of their country, and of withholding help from a grab. able enemy, that their agreement to lend Russia $250,000, co would be inconceivable were they not assured that such a course would meet with their sovereign's hearty approval.
The announcement that the Berlin loan to Russia will not be made until after the fall of Port Arthur, which is taken for granted, invites attention to the interesting fact that the inclin- ation of bankers to lend to a belligerent doen not always rise or sink with his immediate success or failure. It is true that during our civil war the credit of our Federal Government
