raE TRADE p0LLAx QUESTION
sETTLED.

President Grant has sigusd the Silver
hill. thus making ii . Law. to take effect
Immediately. Hereafter trade dollars
will 10 used for export only. and for
home consumption We shall have our
old American dollar. The trouble With
the trade dollar wss. that too many were
coined. They were intended at first
simply for use In our trade with China.
China refused to take bur old dollars.
on the ground that there WAS not = dol
lars worth Of silver in them. Therefore
We coined the trade dollar. aud when 1t
was coined. II sold at . heavy premium.
We became excited at this. and In our
sreitsment fairly flooded the country
with the trade dollar. OF course u de-
~prsciatsd. aud Of course Nevada and
other silver countries suffered.
The new bill which went into effect

January 18th. 1887. upon which shall
be the devices aud legends provided by
said Act. and that said dollar shall be n
legal tender in payment Of all debts,
public aud private"
The effect Of this bill will bs to drive
trade dollars from circulation ON the
Pacific Coast. The raid made against
them in the past has been simply absurd.
and has been prompted entirely BY
brokers, whose business II is to make
money out OF money. We cannot blame
the brokers. Tor they are only prosecuting
their legitimate Business. But We can
not help blaming the stupidity Of the
people. who, by dspreeiatipg the value
Of the trade dollar. really ~r.pudiAted

which its prosperity as = State depends.

Two Fine Large Vessels.

Just now we have two as fine new vessels in
our ha1bor as was ever built at Mains ship
yards.
The first one we shall notice is the ship San
Joaquin, Just off the yard of Capt. E G. Soule
at South Freeport She was brought here and
now lies in Deake's dock receiving her rigging
and stores. She is rugged by Mr.. Alvin Neal,
the well known bigger. Her dimensions are
20S feet, 230 over all, "a feet depth of hold and
AZ feet beam. Her frame is of the best hack
metack. The aoors are of hard wood. The
best Southern pine is used both inside and out.
Her whole timbers are unusually heavy. Those
of the upper deck beams are by 10 inches,
and the lower decks are IA by Is inches.
The breast hooks are of the best oak and are
securely bolted and secured. Four heavy tran
SONS and several knees keep the stern of the
ship firm. The keelson is five tiers high, of
IA by Is timbers firmly bolted together. The
stanchions in the lower hold are by 15 inches
and rest on the keelson. The masts are made
of four pieces of white oak and are belted and
clam ped with pine. The tonnage of the vessel
is 1859 new measurement The cabin is large
and convenient and is finished in mahogany,
chestnut, ash and walnut. She has all the
conveniences of the modern vessels and is
worth visit. She has two large water tanks
and'is furnished with Hyde's patent wndlasses
and four large anchors.
The new ship Oracle from Bath, is now in
the dry dock being coppered. When finished
she will proceed to Baltimore to load Goals for
San Francisco. This fine ship was built in
the yard of Hitchcock & Blair at Bath, and is
a noble vessel. She is 125 feet long, 30
feet beam and "a feet hold. Her lines present
one of the sharpest models now afoat. She
registers 154953 tons and will receive the very
