STANDARD COAL be illustrated by a very simple statement We all know how rap- idly the expert counter of coins will manipulate them. The treasury experts at Washington will count 4,000 silver dollars in one hour, but that is their limit : work, ing 8 hours a day an expert will count one million silver- - dollars ia 31 working days, but that is only the beginning of the billion, and if this same counter were to go on counting the dollars at this rate, 8 hours in every working day of the year, he will require 100 years in which to count one billion of them, and when we further remember that the trillion is a thousand times as much as the billion we begin to get at least a dim comprehension of the quantitative bigness of the "trillion" in which the currencies of at least 4 countries are now being measured, If, to count one billion silver coins would require the continue us service of one man one hundred years, to count a trillion coins would require the service of one thousand men one hundred years.

What is a trillion? We know of course, says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, that it is a thousand billions, and if we arc able to measure in simple terms the real bigness of the billion, ia which we are now every day measuring world currency and trade, it may be helpful in the attempt to grasp the meaning of this new unit in which we are now measuring the multiplied paper money of the countries whose currency totals have passed out of the billion class. To measure even a single billion, said a lecturer addressing a class in The National City Bank of New York, is difficult, but can at least they made a trip of inspection through the White House.
