NOT ENOUGH GOLD.
There is a record demand for gold coins, and workers at the London Mint have had to put in extra time. Bank managers «eo in tho remarkable withdrawing of gold from tho banks signs of the habit of the age—the habit of spending money. "Never did people, withdraw so much money," said a bank manager, "and never, I fee] sure, did they spend so much as Christmas as they are doing this year. Saving is very nearly a lost art ; everyone considers it a duty to spend and spend. A man's earning capacity remains unimpaired much longer today than formerly; and so long as a man is making money ho. will spend it. The sovereign and half-sovereign have ceased to be regarded with reverence. Money simply exists to be cot rill of. and those who have it make it fly."
