American Finance 
By JOHN PAUL RYAN 
BEGINNING IN THE JANUARY 
I Metropolitan Magazine 
The first instalment goes into the causes of the October 
panic; its effect on all wage-earners as well as on men of means; 
it shows you why trust companies have privileges denied National 
banks; it opens to you for the first time the doors of the dram¬ 
atic secret conferences between the millionaires, philanthropists, 
and Government officers which helped to carry the country over 
the crisis; It tells you how the people have suffered through 
carelessness and mismanagement. 
All this is in January. In succeeding instalments Mr. Ryan 
will consider the question of currency and the commercial, 
industrial, and financial future of America and Americans as it 
may be conditioned by war, politics or the tariff.

CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT 
Between the great churchman and the 
great sailor the tomb has had most 
remarkable vicissitudes. The cardinal, 
who was great on monuments, had it 
prepared for himself in his lifetime, and 
obtained from Henry VIII. the grant 
of the small building adjoining the east 
end of St. George’s chapel, Windsor 
(now the Prince Consort’s Memorial 
Chapel), for its reception. But Wolsey’s 
fall interfered with these ambitious 
schemes, and when he died he was buried 
“before day” in the Abbey church, at 
Leicester. Moreover, while preparing 
his own tomb on a magnificent scale, he 
had left his promise to prepare another 
tomb for his royal master unfulfilled, so 
Henry, to repair that omission, took 
possession of the cardinal’s tomb, used 
“so much as he found fit, and called it 
his. ” That tomb, which was finally 
adorned with a profusion of metal work 
and statuary, and in its total effect Mr. 
Higgins thinks, comparable only to the 
tomb of the Emperor Maximilian at 
Innsbruck, was dismantled during the 
civil wars under the ordinance “for the 
removal of scandalous monuments and 
pictures,” and it was found impossible 
to restore It at any later date. But the 
sarcophagus and base remained in situ 
until sometime between 1808 and 1810, 
when they were brought from Windsor 
to St. Paul’s to make part of the Nelson 
monument. Their identity is absolutely 
established by Mr. Higgins’s investiga¬ 
tions. He has made careful measure¬ 
ments of the Nelson sarcophagus, and 
found it to correspond in its dimensions 
with the particulars given by Benedetto 
da Rovezzano in his inventories, which 
are still extant. Nelson’s body does not, 
of course, lie in the sarcophagus, but in a 
vault underneath, but w-e have the 
curious fact that the tomb which was 
prepared by the cardinal for his own 
body, grabbed by Henry VHI. for the 
royal tomb, defaced by a Puritan parlia¬ 
ment as a “scandalous monument,” 
now forms part of the national monu¬ 
ment to the great captain. In other 
words. Nelson has the sarcophagus 
which Wolsey intended for himself.^—
