_First Aspiring Political Economist._ Well, to me, though, of course, I am willing to admit there _may_ be something in it, I can't say that the matter is, at first sight, convincingly clear. (_Candidly._) My chief difficulty is, I confess, to arrive at any definite conclusion with myself, as to what "Bimetallism" really means, and what it does not; and I own I feel still vague as to the two questions of the influence of the quantity of money on prices, or the price of a commodity on the value of money respectively, and, though I carefully read all that appears in the daily papers on the subject, I am compelled to own that I do not seem to be nearer a solution of the perplexing difficulty.

The main idea is suggested by the Misses TAYLOR'S well-known poem, _The Pin_, though the dramatist has gone further than the poetess in working out the notion of Nemesis. THE FATAL PIN.--A TRAGEDY.
