ONLY NINETY GEMS.

Our people have had . practical test,
the past few weeks, Of the workings of a
cumbersome and deprecated silver
currency. Notices to the effect that
Trade dollars and Mexican dollars are
worth only ninety cents" appear at
every hand. After the silver bill had
become a law, and silver dollars had
begun to appear in the market, some
s~peculatory individuals imported a
quantity Of Mexican and South Ameri-
can dollars, and for a time these passed
from hand to hand, inconvenient as
they were, for 100 cents on the dollar.
The specializing importers Of course
made money by their venture; but the
public soon learned that these foreign
coins were worth only 80 or 90 cents
each. The banks and bankers refused
to take them, except at a heavy dis
count; then the Government officials
declined to take them and merchants
followed suit, till the rule became gen.
eral that the Mexican sssun" dollar
should be received and paid out at 90
cents, and the South American dollar
at 80 cents. At these rates it is safe to
take them; and IL this rule is strictly
observed, the foreign coins will soon
disappear from the market.
The United States trade dollar con-
tains 400 grains Of silver. 1t was coined
for the China trade, and was not in
tended for circulation here. 1t is not
a legal tender, though it contains more
silver than the new dollar, which is a
legal tender, and hence If forced into
bullion or mercantile use, is actually
worth more than the new dollar. The
trade dollar, being stamped "Trade
Dollar" o N its face, can easily be dis
tinguished from the new American
dollar. We see no good reason why
Congress should not, at the next ses.
sion, place the trade dollar on an equal
footing with the new one, in regard tt
being a legal tender and receiving IL
for customs duty. 1t would be bettel
still to make all the United States silvel
coins a legal tender to u limited ex
tent, and also to limit their coinage t,
the actual wants Of the people. w
have already seen that an excess o
silver currency is a burden to all classes
and that gold alone should be the stan
dard, and the only coin that should b
legal tender to any amount. Will
over ten millions Of the new silver dol
lars have been coined, not over two mil
lions are In circulation, and the peopl,
are getting enough of them. But forty
millions more will be coined this year
1t requires only a fair test Of the silver
bill to prove its folly. A distinguished
Senator, an ardent supporter of tn,
bill, did not want its results applied
practically to him; for when it was pro
posed to the officer who pays the Sena
tors, to take to the Senator 81, 600 il
the new silver dollars, to pay his mile
age and a portion of his salary, h,
replied: "Don't put that id stuff OF
