MONETARY UNION.

A LIST OF MONETARY TREATIES.

TREATIES FOR INTERCHANGEABLE CURRENCY.

In all cases where communities which have maintained an independent Coinage System have come into union with each other, or into subjection one to another, a conflict of Coinages must naturally ensue, and the settlement of such conflict must naturally offer analogies both with the jarring of the Money Systems of independent nations and with that monetary pacification which is the aim of international contract.

For instance, the monetary arrangements arising out of the consolidation of the Roman Empire, or, later, out of that of the royal power of France and that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, must offer such analogies, while the partial and desultory coinage legislation of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in past centuries, and in its turn the speedy monetary unification of the new German Empire of to-day, would offer similar points of resemblance and of instruction.

The following list is intended to include acts which bear a character more decidedly international; those of the German States which formerly formed part of the old German Empire standing distinct. In view of the novelty of the investigation, it is not improbable that the list is incomplete, if not indeed incorrect.

To guard against misunderstanding, an important distinction must be observed. The possible future monetary treaty of the chief Western powers, contemplated by the advocates of the policy adopted by the United States in the law of February 28, 1878, under which the Conference was convoked, differs in an essential point from treaties of which history offers an example. Such treaties have, it is believed, invariably had for their object a Fusion of Currencies or Mutuality of Legal Tender;
