Austrian Notes and Cash
During a residence of some
Months in Vienna, I never saw
A single silver of gold coin of
The realm in circulation. You
Pay your cabman with a dozen
servers of greasy paper :You tip
the Omnibus Conducter with a
two penny bank-note :you pay
the house porter in the same
way if you return home after ten
to the beggar at the church door !
o’clock you throw a bank note
you see the market women count-
-ing up their paper money when
Their fruit stalls are Emptiead: you
see the charitable dropping it into
the crimson collecting bags in the
churches:on Every side crop up the
Evidences of the critical state of
Austrian finance-Once a week
