We must yet offer another obseriatiou, had, the
inference we wish to be drawn froiii it is, that Go-
vernment would spew wisdom by adopting the sug:
gtaion, anti, acting upon it.—Let. it be recollected;
that the New Coinage is not to be issued at prime-
miss used formeliy to bethe ease, but at the rate
of 66 to the pnand weight.—Supposing L2,000,000i
er 40,millions of old shillings to be presented at the
Mint for r.ew ones, and each shilling so presented to
be less ten grains in weight than when it was issued,
thellovernment would lose, if they kept up the shil-
ling to the same standard, about 4'206,859; but as
the price of silver is now 4s. I ld. per ez. on two mil-
'ins worth coined into shillings, at the rate of 66 to
1.9 e pound weight, there will be a profit of 5e260,000;
and allowing 2; per cent. for the expense of coinage,
taere will be a net profit of £210,000.
NoW it cannot be maintained, on any principles*of
4110itYi that the Government should make a profit on
the oid circulating coin by a new issue—whatever
f:cjoaya.be said on the propriety of protecting the new
ge against the melting pot, by keeping it lower
in value than the price of bulliun.—Thc proper re-
medy then for the present alarm, and the best way
to keep in circulation a sufficient supply of small
Toomey for the purposes of commerce, would.be the
of a prpclamation that all silver of standard
value, however reduced in weight by long circula.
Alen, will be taken in exchange for the new coinage,
