In addition to this the minor coin issued
amounted to IA ,629, 800 pieces, of the value of
S23O, O,375. The total of all coinage for the
year was SO, ,l91, ,77S pieces, of the value of
S43 ,S54, ,70S-nearly four times the amount OF
the aggregate mintage of England for the same
period.
The coinage of the trade dollar exceeds that
of the previous year by 50, $50 500, and is more
than half the coinage of silver dollars from
1898 to 1874, period of 81 years.
The new refinery of the mint in San Francisco
is completed and now in successful operation.
The capacity Of the other mint refneries is
greatly increased, and it is estimated that
nearly all the mixed bullion produced in the
United States can be advantageously parted at
the mints, and with the new machinery and
appliances, added to the coinage mints, that
the turn out for the next fiscal year will be
more than doubled.
With confidence and cooperation on the part
of the people, as the Republic remarks, there
seems to be little or no doubt of the ability of
the Secretary of the United States Treasury
to resume specie payments at the time speci-
fed in the new financial bill. Then the green
back and gold will be of equal value, and very
little of the latter will be called for. The
greenback will be in demand for all business
transactions, even in those States where gold
and silver are now the circulating medium.
The greenback will circulate freely for its face
value-dollar for dollar with gold-through-
out the Dominion of Canada, Mexico, and
generally over the continent, and even in
Europe. Travellers need no longer be encum-
bered with gold, for the greenback will be
recognized and accepted in any part Of the
continent at its face ValCe.

Coinage In England and the Uuited States.

During the last year, the mints of England
produced e., ,4O5, ,S6S in coin, equal in Uni
ted States coin to 81, ,714, ,122. During the
same period, the United States mints turned
out coin to the value of 81, ,S54 ,f0s, or $780,
14o, ,5S6 more than the coinage of England.
The English coinage comprised $40, us SOW
ereigns, and !, ,SS4, ,439 half soVereigns. This
is below the usual average, but the coinage OF
silver was unusually large, and amounted to
nearly 81 900, 600, of which $4,000 went to
the Colonies. About e2OO, 900 in half crowns
we're issued. The demand for smaller coins has
alse increased, causing an issue of more than
100000 three-penny pieces. In fact, the
English nins was unable to meet he-demand
for copper and bronze coins, and the Govern
ment had about one hundred tons of this cur
rency made by HeatoR Brothers, ct Birming-
ham, and marked with the letter "H" to dis
tiRguish it from those coined at the Govern
ment mints-as q portion Of our own coin was
formerly marked 80" IN addition to the Of
fetal device. Including the Birmingham is
sue, over 81 ,OOO, goo of penny and half-penny
pieces were coined and issued during the past
year.
The following tables, showing the coinage
in the United States during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1875, is taken from the RepH5-
lie magazine, for which publication it was re-
Tised at the Office of the Director of the Mint ::

The Great DeIusion.

The moro reckless leaders of the Democratic
party in Ohio try to impress upon the people
three things:
1. That there is less currency in the coun-
try at this time than in 1858 or 1869. 2. That
there is not enough currency to meet the
wants of trade; and 8. That if Allen and Cary
shall be elected the volume of currency will
be increased. Let US examine these points
1. We have repeatedly shown that the Re-
publican party has not contracted, but has
expanded the currency since the close Of the
war. Mr.. Pendleton, with view to refuting
this statement, counted 7-30s, compound in
terest notes and certificates of indebtedness,
currency, and he made the assertion that
7.30s were a legal tender. We have shown
him that in this he was mistaken. The Sec
retary of the Treasury was authorized to
make 7-30s legal tender, but he did not do
it, and those bonds were no more currency
than the 5-20s or 5 per cent. bonds now out
standing. Besides, the 7-3O notes in 1865,
when Mr.. Pendleton said they were part of
the currency, were at a discount of 29S per
cent. for greenbacks and national bank notes.
That being the case, they would not and did
not circulate as currency. The compound in
terest notes, soon after their issue, were at a
premium, and were no more a part of the
medium than gold and silver.
Mr.. Pendleton must, therefore, admit that
these notes did not circulate as currency. The
currency was therefore made up of greenbacks,
bank notes and fractional currency,
and of these there is a larger amount out
standing than at any former time, to-wit:

Ambitious? or course We are. IT'S the
lot Of man, and we deem energy and ambition
well directed, merit, else there would be no
progress; else the boosted nineteenth century
| in which we live, would never have been as it
| is-the grandest time in the history of the
world.
In q financial poiut Of view We are all am
| bilious and it is but natural that we should
I've so. since .'by the sweat of our brow" we
must earn our living, and the older We grow
the harder it is to earn the comforts that we
need. We should all, as far rs possible, lay
by something tor rainy day. How to do this
is the great question Of the day and hour; it
is question above politics. or woman suf-
fragc, or the granger movement, or the third
term, because it is question that appeals d.
rectiy to each and every one Of us personally.
The answer to this question does not depend
on how much or how little you earn, how
great or small your income it depends en-
tirely on how much or little you spend. Ii
you earn but two dollars and spend but one,
you are in fair way TO succeed. 1t Is the
out-go and MOI the income that determines
our success in saving.
In the matter Of out-go, we all find II neces-
sary to buy such goods we need, flor We are

ton then comes in, pAeys to 5sy. Now our ad-
vice is not wholly disinterested. We are in
