THE MINT.

I 1t would probably startle the community TO
learn some day that the Hawaiian Government
mad resolved TO make gold and silver coins which
should contain several per cent. less of pure
metal than is contained in foreign coins of as
simulated values in the commercial world, and
that such coins of debased value should be legal
tender for the payment of all debts. 1t is true
that we have no government mint but the
action of the government in fixing upon fictitious
values for coins brought here from abroad, puts
US at the mercy Of dealers in coin to introduce
that which is debased, paying therefor its CON-
mercial value and receiving its exaggerated value
in this country. 1t is often said that it matters
not what the intrinsic or the international value
of the coin may be, as long as it is received and
paid out here as a counter but no country can
long afford to do this losing business in this age
OF exchanges. The days of wampum are passed.
Take the matter of customs duties alone
say that the tariff of ten per cent. brings $780,
600 annually to the government. Is it not
better that this should be $500 900 in gold at
its commercial value, or its value in the country
whence it comes, than $500 900 in deprecated
silver?
The fact that gold is more costly and less
subject to iuctuation in value than silver, has
been deemed sufficient by most civilized nations
to make it the legal standard, while silver in the
same countries is coined with a less proportiona-
bic value (being used in the payment of mall
debts) in order to keep it in circulation for
otherwise the silver would rapidly disappear.
The double standard of both gold and silver.
which some advise here, has been almost univer-
sally rejected elsewhere; inasmuch as they do
not, in their varying values, vary simultaneously.
Says Mill, in his Political Economy The
plan of a double standard is still occasionally
brought forward by here and there a writer or
orator, as a great improvement in currency. 1t
is probable that with most of its adherents, its
chief merit is its tendency to a sort of deprecia-
ton, there being at all times abundant sup
porters for any mode, either open or covert, of
lowering the standard"

The Barbados Disturbances.

There has been trouble in the British negro
colony of Barbados in the West Indies. Mobs
committed various acts Of plumber and disorder, all
arising from the ignorance Of the dominant class
the blacks. The Saturday RerieV thus concludes
an article upon the subject, which is suggestive
reading to Us at the Hawaiian Islands:
Although indignant patriots in Barbados as in
larger communities talk loudly about constitutional
rights, it is doubtful whether, after the recent
collision between the two races, representative gov
eminent viii continue to be practicable. The present
system il recommended by respectable antiquity,
but il was founded for the benefit of one dominant
class which had in all respects common interests.
The enfranehisement Of The slaves altered or reversed
all the conditions Of the experiment. In q West
Indian colony, as in q Southern State Of the Ameri-
can Union, il would be intolerable that the inferior
race should exercise permanent supremacy by reason
of numerical preponderance. BY force or con-
trivance the whites have already in almost all parts
of the former Confederacy resumed the power of
which they had been temporarily deprived. The
Federal authority and the public opinion OF the
entire nation viii probably give the colored people
sufficient security against extreme oppression. In
Barbados the owners of property have so mansged
an extended suffrage IS to control the Legls,ature;
but il il possible that under some astute leader the
colored majority might at q future election reverse
the balance Of power. The English colonIsts would
sssuredly not be constrained by the letter OF any
Constitution to obey o Legislature and Government
chosen by the negroes. For the present the mass of
population has no confidence in an Assembly which
primarily regards the rights and interests of the
planters. Within q few years after emancipation
the Assembly Of Jamaica defeated in Parliament a
proposal made By Lord MELBoURNE's Government
70 govern the island as q Crown colony. Thirty
years later the entire community. after the expert
euce of the disturbances of 1865, willingly accepted
the form Of government which had previously been
denounced; and from that time the colony has
enjoyed perfect tranquility, and has steadily in
creased in prosperity. No English Minister willingly
reduces the area of Parliamentary government; but
the nreiudice of a former generation against various
methods of administration is becoming obsolete. 1t
is not improbable that . dictatorship will be the
ONLY e~fecsual mechanism by which conflicting inter
este csn be reconciled in Barbados.

ty two years the total expenditures of the

PITCAIRN'S ISLAND.

The solitary island in the Pacific in
habited since 1890 by the mutineers Of the
English ship Bounty and their descen-
dants, was visited in last December by
the British ship Petrol, the commander
of which thus writes;
~ found the inhabitants of Pitcairn in
hourishing condition, and well supplied
with the necessaries required to meet
their simple wants. They at present
number eighty-five, a large proportion
being young children. The number of
the sexes are thirty-eight males and for
ty-seven females, the names of the diff
ferent families are Christian, Young, Nc
Coy, Buffet, Warren, and Butler. War
rem and Butler are not descendants of
the mutineers. Warren married one of
the Pitcairn islanders in Norfolk Island,
and accompanied them on their return.
Butler is an American, who few months
ago was cast away in an English ship,
and when the remainder of the crew
were taken off the island desired to be
left behind, He has since married. Dur
ing last year there were two shipwrecked
crews received on the island. The first
was the crew of the English ship Khan
dish, bound to Europe from San Fran.
cisco, with grain. While standing off
and on, she stood too Closein, missed her
stays, and went on shore on the north
east end of the island, close to Bounty
Bay, and, being an iron ship, soon be-
came a total wreck; her crew were taken
off few days afterwards by passing
American ship. The others were the
crew of the English ship CORVALLIS,
which ship being also on her passage
from San Francisco, with grain, went on
shore and became q total wreck on the
island of Oeno; they took to their boats
and made for Pitcairn Island where they
remained more than six weeks, when
they were taken of by passing vessel.
The crew of the CORVALLIS numbered
twenty-five. and as they ere so long on
on !he islaDd it caused the inhabitants to
be little straiteneG for garden produce;
but when by themselves they are amply
supplied, and are able to supply passing
ships literally with vegetables and fruit;
sheep, pigs, and poultry they can also
spare.
christian informed me that a yearly
average of eight ships communicated
with them, the vessels being either bound
from San Francisco to Europe, or else
from Newcastle, New South Wales to San
Francisco. Some of the grain ships from
San Francisco have called two or three
years consecutively. From these vessels
they obtain, in exchange for fresh pro-
visions, their supply of clothing &c.
With the exception of the gardening
tools, we were enabled to supply them
with the few things that they were in
want of. The inhabitants were very
healthy, and with the exception of one
scrofulous child, there appeared to be no
disease among them"
