is, prevention is better than cure. The
prevention lies near at hand, it consists in
adhering 10 and maintaining the Law.
The law on the subject is the Ordinance
of the 23d July 1859. This law which
relates to the small coin in circulation in
these Islands enacts that "betwpen man
and man no one shall he bound to receive
in one payment a larger sum than S dol
lars in those of silver and in those Of
bronze more than 10 cents at any one
time" The law does not only relate to
our own coin, but it further enacts that:
''NnhI further notice half dollar pieces as
well us quarter dollar pieces, and 10, S and
3 cent-pleces coined in Tie United States
of America, shall be received in Oar
Treasures in the Danish Wtstindia Pos
sessions IN the same manner, as the coins
coined liz accordance with the present
Ordinance" In placing these coins on
the same footing as our own, it is super
Huous 10 add, that they are subjected to
the same rule, as to The amount any. one
is obliged to receive in any one payment,
as our own coin. The provisions of this
law as to the amount receivable in small
coin is nothing peculiar, the same exist in
all other countries, and wisely so. Now,
if people nevertheless receive larger sums
in payments, il must be because they fnd
it in their interest to do so and they
must understand their own interest best.
1t is however the duty of the Govern
ment, as FIR as lies in its power TO try
and check the Influx of coin when 1t
threatens 10 become injurious; and we
believe that it has already taken the only
e~ffectual measure which it is in its power
to do. 1t has issued orders to the Gus
tom-HOGses and other departments that
receive money to adhere 10 The law, and
not to receive in any one payment ii larger
sun than is made compulsory by the Or
dinance of 23rd July 1859. To adhere
strictly to the law is really the only
means at the disposal Of the Government
eftctually 10 check the further influx of
American small coin. Private individuals
can check it by only receiving them at q
discount but that the Government could
not SO we'll do, not at least except as a
last esnurce The idea cf laying an
import duty on American small coin would
be 81 anomalous that it is not likely that
the HOme-Government, even if The Colo

should strongly disrecommend such a
measure as likely to do us more injury
than good. We have just had a chance
of e~ffecring some cash sales of sugar to
a st. Thomas House. Should this house
be obliged to pay for the sugars partly in
silver, would it be an encouragement to
them 10 have to pay importantly on the
money with which they were ready TO
pay The whole thought of an import
duty seems 10 US wrong. Who pays i'm
port-duties Not the importer of the ar
iicle, but the consumer. 1t would be the
planters that would have to pay the duty,
not the merchant who pays the money.
There is only one remedy, as far as the
Government is concerned, namely that of
receiving in The public treasures as little
as is legally possible of the coin in pay
ments, this rule should also be adhered to
by private individuals, or if they think
