UNIFORM WEIGHTS AND MEAsuREs-The

UNIFORM WEIGHTS AND MEAsUREs-The
suits at law in courts, caused by different
standards of weights and measures. show the
, necessity of having one uniform standard fix
ed by the United Sla.es Government. and of
repeating all Stafe laws on the subject. The
State of Pennsylvania, by fixing 1000 pounds
as a ton weight, acted consistently with the
policy which ought to govern the United
States authorities on this subject. Congress
has gone one great step towards adopting dec
ina! quantities when it fixed the dime at ten
cents, the dollar a. one hundred cents, the
eagle al one thousand Il ought to go the
whole distance now in matter of SO much
public convenience, making all the weights
and measures Of the country conform to one
uniform standard and that based upon deci-
NAL quantities. This is far more important
10 the true interests of business than one half
the Legislation OF Congress, and we hope Il at
some liberal minded member will introduce
the subject into tat body at the next session.
! How much more admirably the business OF
! the world would be transacted, and with what
relief from mistakes and losses, if every gov
