EAST HUBBARDToN.
The complaint is now made in the papers
that the currency in some places is made
up too largely of silver. People have done
without gold and silver 80 long, that it is
not surprising that anything called silver,
and partially resembling it, should be al
lowed to pass as lawful money. The de-
probation of silver some 20 per cent. may
be partly due to the increased production
of silver Perhaps, however, the circula-
ton of counterfeit silver coin is more
powerful cause of this depreciation. Our
people must learn to distinguish the true
silver coin from the counterfeit. Take
genuine silver "Half DOL" and place
counterfeit by the side Of it, and inspect
both with a microscope. Set them on
edge like wheels, and observe the indenta-
tions. The true coin will be indented in
regular and beautiful manner, while the in
dentations on the counterfeit will be irreg-
ular and unlike the true. Lay them down
with the figure of liberty up, you will no.
tice the drspeIy on the arms and lower
limbs much unlike, the true coin having
it full and beautiful, while the counterfeit
is deficient near the foot and ungracefal on
| the arm.
l have before me cast of 1866, and the
word ''liberty" is entirely illegible either
by the naked eye or microscope. BY ex-
aiming the head of the figure there is no
| appearance of an ear, while on the true 1t
| is prominent and well defined. The beak
| of the eagle on the true coin is more grace
| fully cut than on the counterfeit. The
milling on the true 10 more regular and
beautiful than on the counterfeit Now il
the time to weed out the counterfeit silver
| and cut short the harvest of counterfelters,
who will improve this time of unacquaint-
ance with silver to put In circulation vast
amounts of bogus money.
