The Coinage.

A correspondent of the Washington Re-
publican, writing in reply to the charge that
the new trade dollars are being ''clipped,"
and that their issue was faacious project,
says: 1.-The bullion value of the trade dollar
on. the Pacific coast is 99f cents. Gold and
these coins command a premium of three
quarters of one per cent. on their nominal
value. The truth Of the matter is, that dol
lars are not more likely to be "clipped' than
any other coin, and as to the project being
''fallacious,' the demand for these coins in
the China market disproves any such asser-
ton. As is well known, no. race of people
are so peculiar" in their trade affairs and so
opposed to changes as the Chinese, and the
tact that they have received the ''trade dol
lar' in preference to the Mexican" which
for years. has formed the principal export of
silver from this country to China, japan, and
India, establishes the project not only as a
present success, but promises important ad-
vantages in the future to the commercial and
silver mining interests of the United States.
In connection with this subject permit me
to add that the coinage for the present fiscal
year will exhibit result almost unprecedent-
ed in the annals of the government. For the
nine months ending March 81, 1874, the gold
coinage has amounted to $40, 807, $40, exceed
ing that of the last fiscal year 1858, SOB, and
being the largest since the suspension of spe-
Gle payments in 1861 The silver coinage for
the same period amounts to $4,O82, 939. go, of
which So, 10000 is comprised in trade dol
lars. The largest amount of silver dollars
coined in any one year since the establish
ment of the mint in 1893, and prior to the
coinage act of 1873, establishing the trade
dollar of $50 grains troy, was hut little ov-
er 81 ,OOO,OOO and the entire coinage of silver
dollars from 1893 to the close of the last fiscal
year was $S,045. 1888. The fact that our trade
dollar coinage for the last nine months alone
has been over one-fourth of the entire silver
dollar coinage of eightyone years is in itself
sufficient evidence of The wisdom of issuing
such coin, and stamps its introduction as
one OF the most important measures of the
Forty-second Congress.
The Portland daily press., 1874-06-05

RELIGION AND ARCHITECTURE.-The out
side form of every Gothic cathedral, says the
Rev. Canon Kingsley, must be considered
imperfect if it does not eliminate in some
thing pyramidal. The especial want of all
Greek and Roman buildings with which we
are acquainted is the absepce-save in few
and unimportant cases-of the pyramidal
form. The Egyptians knew at least the
worth OF the obelisk; but the Greeks and
Romans hardly knew even that; their build
ings are flat-topped. Their builders were
contented with the earth as it was. There
was great truth involved in that; which I
am the last to deny. But religions which,
like the Buddhist or the Christian, nurse a
noble discomfort, are sure to adopt, sooner or
later, an upward and aspiring form of build
ing. 1t is not merely that, fancying heaven
to be ABOVE earth, they point toward heaven.
Ihere is deeper natural language in the
pyramidal form of a growing tree. 1t sym
bolizes growth, or the desire of growth. The
Norman tower does nothing of the kind. 1t
does not aspire to grow. Look-I mention
an instance with which I am most familiar
at the Norman tower of Bury st. Edmund's.
1t is graceful-awful, if you will-but there
islno aspiration in it. 1t is stately; but self
content. Its horizontal courses, circular
arches, above all, its fiat skyline, seem to
have risen enough, and wish to rise no high
er. For it has no touch of that unrest of
soul which is expressed by the spire, and still
more by the compound spire, with its pima
cles, crockets, finals, which are finals only
IN name; for they do not finish, and are real
ly terminal buds, as it were, longing to open
and grow upward, even as the crockets are
bracts and leaves thrown off as the shoot has
grown.
