tious and strengthening phosphates which are

THE TRADE DDOLLA0.

What TO do with the trade dollar il
question answered by the Secretary of
the Treasury in bis annual report. The
total issue Of this c0in has been 49,
NO, 446. Il il estimated that 6ve-sixths
Of this amount went abroad soon after
coinage, and that there Ia now held in
the United States from 100000 to
100000. The trade dollar was coined
under authority of an act OF Congress
passed in 1873, and made legal ten
der for sums of not more then %. In
1873 this legal tender quality was with
drawn. Tho purpose Of it's creation
was 10 favor the Asiatio demand, which
had heretofore been supplied with the
Mexican dollar. The trade dollar was.
therefore, made Of an intrinsic value
slightly In excess of that coin. Since
1873 this coin has ceased TO circulate IA
money, and the amount on hand in the
United States is mostly held by brokers
and speculators, who have bought IL at
a discount varying from Ave to fifteen
per cent. The Secretary recommends
that II be called in and redeemed by the
Government In this manner: "Let aa-
thority be given by Congress to the
Treasury Department to barter for
trade dollars at their nominal value,
standard dollars ct their nominal value
aud melting the trade dollars TO reooin
them into standard silver dollars,
counting the trade dollars got in this
way ~ part Of the bullion which the
sct Of 1873 empowers and directs to be
bought and coined monthly" To the
objection that TINS 10 raise tho value Of
trade dollars practically 10 that of
standard dollars would tend to keep
them In circulation. Il IL replied that
sach an effect may be prevented BY set
ting bound to the time during which
the exchange may be made. II, for in-
stanoe. such time should be limited TO

would, 70 prevent loss aud insure 81.

Il. To the suggestion that this ex-
change would involve \ loas to the Cav
ernment, the Secretary replies that the
excess Of silver in the trade over the
standard dollar viii nearly il not quite
pay tho cost OF reooinage. without
further consideration Of the possible
loss or gain TO the Government by the
redemption Of this now irredeemabls
