How IT WILL BE.-PeOple who receive
paper small notes are inclined to hold them
In order 10 get enough TO change for coin
Those who have obtained coin are so pleased
with the novelty that they retain IL instead
OF putting it to its only useful purpose as
currency. If this state OF things were to con-
ttnue for long time it would occasion great
Inconvenience, no doubt. But 1t will not
continue. There is supply of silver in the
sub treasures sufficient for all the demands
that can possibly be made upon them In
many months, and, meantime, the minis
are turning out coin at a rate faster than
that OF the issue by the government. Not q
very large proportion of the people can az
ford 10 keep handful OF silver merely as a
curiosity for any long time. AS soon as the
novelty has worn off IL will be found that
the coin will circulate as rapidly and easily
as paper has circulated in the past Boston
