B^!^ Uas never been '■paralielejii r " and,,'spe.ak^ eloquently of the , staignation of business. .Apart from this consideration, it, also means waste, .thpu.gh, waste which, appa-rently,-cannot be avoided ;. for there is no 1 need to have thfe entire note issue thus, - covered'by gold, and, in so far as v gold is held in obvious excess of what can-jbyiwiy possibility be found necessary, there is a, loss of interest on the balance. The notes can never come in for gold, for the com- "" jnuriityjcannot possibly do without them.. As the position, is,' credit—the Gredit of .the Bank of England-rgoes for nothing, not being called into requisition, for there is the gold itself, as every noteholdar "can see; for hintsfclf..; And goldrpinert goldyields nothing, no more than if it. were so f .much lead or sand, .except thpt'in this instance it has a vitality atid' power of usefulness given to it through its circulating from hand to hand in business in its representative form of paper.*—Financier.
