Iv is to be regretted that the Report of the Royal Commission on International Coinage should be con signed, like so many of its predecessors, to the limbo of abortive reforms. Hopeless as the subject n tight appear a few years ago, in these days of free trade and national intercourse it deserved serious consideration. Neither as a means of promoting good relations between different countries, nor as a so cial convenience, is the adoption of a uniform system of coinage to be despised. To commence auch a change would be of very material advantage: The numerous and minute differences of value at present existing not only impede the trade of one people with another,. but in some cases wholly frus trate it. If these differences were regular, so that the money of one nation might readily find exact equivalents in the coinage of another, this diffi culty would be less ; but when the 4u.strian florin is equal to about ls. 101 d. English, j and when the estimate in French coin falls ' short of the English sovereign by about twopence, it is impossible that dealings requiring such minute calculations can be quite satisfactory. In the largest houses the comparison of invoices, price-lists, involves much trouble and loss of time. In the case , of small traders it is well ascertained that the compli cations of exchanges and the difficulty of remitting small sums altogether deter them, in many instances, from engaging in foreign commerce. The competi tion of foreign industry has now become so close that every impediment on our side ought to be removed. To counterbalance these advantages great difficulties present themselves. It is quite impossible to carry out any scheme of uniform coinage which would not involve changes causing much trouble and loss throughout the country. Our present currency could not remain in circulation if the international coins were of greater or less value than the sovereign and its subordinates. Thus recoinage would become necessary ; the value of the pound, the basis of our monetary transactions past and present, would be altered ; all taxes, tolls, and other fixed rates must be readjusted, and in most cases could not be readjusted exactly; and all accounts, small and great, would have to be calculated again in the terms of the new money. To these difficulties add the perplexity arising from a variety of modes of settlement, and it will be conceded that the Com mission has not left the question in abeyance without some reason. The Commission was, in fact, merely a supplement to the International Conference held at Paris last year, and was in great measure restricted by the conclusions then adopted. The Paris Conference determined that the easiest mode of securing a uniform currency would be to take gold coins only as the basis. It was therefore recommended that all gold coins hereafter struck in the countries represented at the Conference should be of the value of five francs, or a multiple of that sum. Such details as the proportion of fine gold, the cost of coining, and arrangements for securing purity were to be regulated equally amongst all the parties to the agreement. These coins of five, ten, • and fifteen francs, and upwards, would become legal tender in all the countries accepting them. Such a system has much in its favour. By assimilating only gold coins the difficulties of a change would be reduced, whilst most of the requirements of com merce and other intercourse between nations would be satisfied. The discrepancies of English pence, French centimes, and American cents would remain, but the perplexity arising from small sums would be comparatively trifling. By a convention signed in December, 1865, France, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland adopted a uniform cur rency, on the basis of the French system, so that the international coin of five francs and its multiples would necessitate no change whatever in these States. Austria, also, has formally engaged to reject her old coinage for that of the Convention of 1865 a stirring example from the most conservative of countries. Sweden will partially do the same. The United States is seriously considering the matter. In England the change would be accompanied by all the difficulties just alluded to. The nearest equivalent to the sovereign is five times five francs, but this sum falls short of twenty shillings by very nearly twopence. As the sovereign could not be allowed to circulate for less than its value, re-coinage would be indispensable. Our currency, is, however, becoming so worn and deteriorated that this step would soon be necessary in any case; but in the ordinary course the re-coinage would be gradual. The readjustment of accounts would also be required; on the day that the new currency superseded the old, the nominal amount of all debts, including the great national burden, and of all mortgages and obliga tions, would be increased by nearly twopence in the pound. Salaries and wages would also require similar correction. In the ordinary transactions of life, especially when small sums were affected, the trouble and annoyance would be greater. The tenant who paid a rent of £lOO in the old coinage would be long before he saw the justice of paying £lOO l Gs. Bd. in the new. And as the rate of com pensation would be one halfpenny for every five shillings, it would be practically impossible to make allowance in the case of sums under that amount ; so that tolls, quit-rents, and other small payments would remain a source of dispute. On the other hand, it may be urged that such changes have been made before; that in commercial houses, and in all cases where large sums are involved, the difficulty is but temporary, and the adjustment once for all ; and that in the lower ranks of life even ignorance and prejudice would wear out. The trouble would be forgotten in a brief space, but the benefit of the new state of things would be permanent. The Commissioners, however, have not supported the Paris Conference. Their report justly argues that, as the uniform gold coinage would leave the small coins unaltered, the measure would be only partial, and might have to be followed up by another disturbing change. Nothing less than the complete assimilation of the currencies of different countries can fully realise the objects sought. The Commissioners have no doubt that a uniform system of coins, as well as a uniform system of weights and measures, would be of great advantage. They are also inclined to think that the franc is not the best basis that could be selected ; the English sovereign presents many advantages as the general monetary unit. Here we are at issue with the Commissioners. They do not, indeed, express any decisive opinion in favour of the sovereign ; but it is not difficult to strike the balance of evidence. The arguments on behalf of the English coin are undeniably powerful. It is a large unit, and therefore well adapted to these days of extensive transactions. Whilst the franc prevails throughout a great part of Europe, the sovereign is much more widely known in other parts of the world. It is current in Portugal, Brazil, and Egypt, as well as in the vast British colonies. As the director of the Ameri can Mint says, " the pound is everywhere familiar; it regulates the exchange of the world." It is very questionable whether a change in the value of the sovereign would not be attended by greater commer- . cial disturbance than would be caused by an alteration of the currencies based on the franc. But take the other side of the question. An international coinage founded on the franc is to a great extent an accomplished fact. Whilst we have been talking and preparing one of those admi rable bluebooks which so often do duty for Acts of Parliament, the continental nations have been up and doing. They have in no wise stinted the INDIA OFFICE, 15th October, 1868. By order of the Secretary of State for India in Council.

Had England appeared first in the field, the sovereign might possibly have claimed precedence ; but we can hardly expect Europe to reject a system with which it is rapidly becoming familiar, in favour of one of our choosing. The Commission argues that the pound has retained its value for a century and a half ; whereas other nations, having already altered their coinage, would be less inconvenienced by another change. How such a plea found its way into this very complete and careful report it is not easy to discover. It must be excessively amusing to the co etinental nations to be told that, having had some. experience in the disagreeable art of changing their cuiTency, they have now an excellent opportunity of once more displaying their skill. It is palpable that the prime argument against the sovereign as a basis is the tardiness with which it has been pro posed. But the Commission seems ,to have bver looked another consideration of great import ance. It is now many years since a system of decimal coinage was first proposed to the country, and the agitation in favour of it has long ago subsided. The advantages of a decimal cur rency could not be disputed, but the practical diffi culties—precisely the same as those which stand in the way of international coinage —caused the reform to be postponed. The present is a favourable opportunity for considering a deci mal and an international currency together. Both could be ensured by the same change and the . same inconvenience that would be necessary to adopt one. Moreover, whatever doubt might exist as to whether an international or a decimal coinage singly would recompense the trouble of a change, it is certain that the advantages of the two combined would repay the country. Now, the French system, which, as we have seen, is spreading throughout Europe, is on the decimal principle, and is in that respect far superior to ours. In choosing between the sovereign and the franc, would it not, therefore, be better to select the basis which offers the substantial advantages of decimal calculation ? It was no part of the duty of the Commission to examine the question of decimal coinage; but, having so immediate a connec tion with the subject under inquiry, it ought to have been taken into account. It would not follow, because a uniform gold coin was adopted, as proposed by the Paris Con ference, that we should extend the change to all our coins, and adopt the decimal principle. But the Commissioners themselves are not satisfied with a uniform gold coin only ; they ask for a complete assimilation of the currencies of different nations, thus removing the last obstacle to the combination of the two reforms. It may be added that Prussia, though not adopting the franc, is about to have a decimal coinage, and, no doubt, could be induced to join the rest. With very little trouble all the principal nations of the, world could be provided with a currency which would pass from one end of the globe to the other, and would be subject only to the delightfully simple calculations of multiplication and division by ten. It is necessary, above all, to consider the matter without prejudice; our much-loved sovereign—we mean the coin—" that power throughout civilised communities," would be a sovereign still, and would lose very little of its dignity by a diminution to the extent of twopence.
