Of their gold coin the foreign coin they receive
yet, owing to the difference of relative value loss
ensues of more than IS per cent. on foreign gold,
compared with silver.
To illustrate the operation of the third article Of
the convention, would state that where Americans
have heretofore paid 500 in silver they will pay
