REPORT OF COMMITTEE
MIR. Gibson, Chairman Of the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported on q bill relating to the absence
of Mobiles from Hawaii. Report received and
ordered to be considered with the bill.
On suspension of the rules, Mr.. Gibson read
for the first time an Act to provide for q national
coinage. Bill was read a second time.
The Minister OF the Interior moved that the
bill pass to e~ngrossment.
Mr.. Castle spoke in favor of a decimal coinage.
The Minister of the Interior said this Is a Gov
eminent bill, and they had requested Mr.. Gibson
to introduce it on account Of his having previous
ly given notice of a bill on this subject. He saw
no reason why we should not have a coinage of
our OVID. OnlLeU OCdlcc ROlu Io maui VI q CT
tain value, and 10 circulated at the same value.
The o.. S. Government can buy silver and coin
a dollar for ninety cents. Coins Of a value of 90
cents to 90 cents in the United States pass here
as 81 90. This country can make arrangements
with the United States to coin for them. We
can have a dollar coined for 80 cents, and there
bv make the ten cents instead of others. This
will, of course, depend upon the price of bullion.
Regarding the coinage of 10 cents and 5 cents
pieces, he said they are not In use here, and we
cannot force them. When you pass a 10 cent
piece, the man that takes it looks at you as
though you had cheated him. In this matter
there would be no expense to the Government,
but it would be a source of revenue. Once put
the Government in a position to bring coin here,
and it would put a stop to other parties bringing
unfair coin here.
Mr.. Gibson made q few remarks, and approved
of the coinage of 121 cent pieces in preference to
a decimal coinage.
The bill passed to engrossment.
