The Trade Dollar.

For some time past there has been
more or less agitation in the cities over
the trade dollar, but no decisive action
was taken until Saturday, when the
banks gave notice that this coin would
be received on deposit for eighty. five
cents only. This warfare is thought to
be but temporary by gentlemen in f.
nancial circles, but bank officials say
that it will last lsng enough to drive
the coin out of circulation. ......
There can be but little doubt that
this movement against the coin is the
work of spectators whose object is to
create panic. buy up the dollars, at
the deprecated value, and after the ex.
citement is over, either put them in Cir
culation again, or create sentiment
that will induce congress to pass law
for the relief of the holders of money.
1t is unfortunate that this movement
has been started as the loss must nee
essarily fall on the poorer classes. Men
who have but few dollars must use
them for the necessaries of life, even if
they lose fifteen cents on dollar, while
those who hold them in large quanti-
ties will lay them away until relief
comes, for it is almost certain that the
trade dollar win be worth par sooner
or later.
HISTORY OF THE DOLLAR. M
The trade dollar, as is we'll known,
was never intended for circulation and
is not accounted as money of the Uni
ted States, being simply bullion stamp
ed for expectation. When its coinage
was authorized the value of the 42O
grains of silver was a little more than
one dollar in gold and the trade dollars
were eagerly taken in China, where
previously the Mexican dollar had been
the popular coin. But the depreciation
in the silver brought the trade dollars
back, their value having sunk below
ninety cents, and they thus came into
circulation, spectators even taking
their silver dollars to the mint and
having it stamped for the purpose of
circulating it, until the coinage of trade
dollars was stopped in 1875, the whole
number then having reached about
thirty millions. The coin is not legal
tender, but has simply passed as legal
tender by common consent. 1t bears
the imprint of 42O grains, 900 fine.
The Bland dollar is 4l2 grains. Ac.
cording to the report of the directors of
the Philadelphia mint the total issue of
the trade is $35,959,36O. When the
Bland dollar was issued in 1878, and
made legal tender the trade dollar
was brought into discredit. At present
there are S9,206,000 standard dollars
stored at the sub-treasury in Philadel-
phia, and over $33, 900, O,OO0in New York.
In the accumulation of these dollars is
seen the only relief from the depreciat-
ed dollar. The mint coins the stand
ard dollar at the rate of two millions a
month.

Gen. Lee as Sunday School
Teacher.

NeSSrS. EdstorS,-Many of the friends
OF Gen. R. E. Lee will be glad to see the
following extract of letter from one OF
the Evangelists of Central Texas Presby-
terry. He says Before the late war,
the United States troops were stationed
at Mason to protect the frontier from
Indian depredations Lieut.. Lee (after-
wards Gen. Lee was in charge of the
Fort. They had their chaplain, and
Sunday School, in which Lieut. Lee was
a faithful teacher. The good seed sown
then makes the difference, no doubt, be-
tween Mason and other towns on the
frontier. Already it is a little city of
churches. Nj.

Salvation Army Bonds.

General Booth, of the Salvation Army
has issued statement in which he says
Some friends who have money at their
disposal have given us the money for the
benefit of the funds of the army. We
have given them in return an under
taking to pay them yearly sum during
their natural life, equal to 5 per cent per
annum upon the capital amount given to
the army. He also says he will receive
deposits OF any amount above e5 for
" fixed periods at fixed rates of interest.
This is very generous proposal of Gen
eral Booths. Besides it is proposal not
without some grains of common sense
about it. If the army can secure an abur-
dance of deposits on the terms stated, it
will be rich organization at no very re-
mo ote date. But l must close.

Concert of Prayer to be Observed
on the Last Thursday in
February

LHeSSrS EdltOrS. Permit me to call the
attention of the ministers and churches
to the 9th resolution of the standing COM
mittee on Education of the last General
Assembly, "that the usual concert OF
prayer for young men in ouI institutions
OF learning be observed on the last
Thursday in February"
That there is concert of prayer for
this object is no doubt true. 1t cannot
be possible that, of the 1000 churches
within our bounds, there should be none
to observe this standing recommendation
of their highest court This concert of
prayer is usual, 4. e., it is usually or Gus
tomarlly held on the last Thursday in
February of each year. The casual or
uninformed reader would gather from
this 6th resolution that the concert of
prayer is a general if not a universal
thing throughout the bounds of our
churches Alas, how greatly he would
be mistaken. We have no means of as
certaining the fact, but the probability is
that not more than 100 or 200 out of our
1000 churches observe this concert of
prayer. A great deal has been said and
written about praying the Lord of the
harvest to send forth laborers into His
harvest, and yet when special day is
set apart by the highest court of the
Church for Gods people to humble them
selves and cry unto Him for this particu-
lar object they forget it or ogect it. Ny
brethren, what does it ~ Do we
really desire more faithful ,rers in the
great harvest field? Do ". believe that
Gods method of supplying them is in
answer to prayer? Do we believe that
our General Assembly meant anything by
this recommendation? If we all agree to
ansv er these questlonsi in the affirmative,
then let us resolve that this year there
shall be general, if not universal OBJ
servance of this day of prayer for young
men in our institutions of learning We
hope the pastors and supplies of our
country churches will make special efforts
to have it observed. Many of our best
ministers come from the country churches.
If the pastor himself cannot be present,
let him get the elders to hold a prayer
meeting on that day. Let him instruct
them beforehand on the subject. And
will not the pastors in all our city
churches make arrangements for the
proper observance of this day, either by
a service in each church, or united
service of all the churches OF the city?
In evidence of our sincerity and earn
est desire for this blessing, will not the
churches and individuals who observe
this concert of prayer, make a free.will
Offering to the cause OF ministerial educs-
ton? 1t will be good time for all the
churches that have not taken up this col
lection to do so. If it cannot be done
publicly, let some one be appointed to DO
1T privately. OF course it is not expected
that any church which has already taken
up collection for this cause will take
another. Butt does seem highly proper
and desirable that all the pastors should
state, In connection with these services that
there IS great demand for more help for
our candidates, and any voluntary con-
trbutlons will be thankfully received

The Detroit Free Press says that a
stranger leaned over the bar Of Michi-
gan avenue saloon the other day and
whisperingly inquired;
Partner, what is the population OF
the United States? =
"Hard ON 80, 200. 900, believe" was
the reply.
1T is over 40, 000 900, anyhow"
''0h, yes.

I'D like nothing better than to put
up $40 on it.
"Well, you'll have a chance. There's
a chap dawn in the shoe shop who
claims that we haven't got $1,000, 600
population, and he's blutfing everybody.
I'll bring him up if you'll make bet
and take him down a peg
Bring him along"
The stranger went away and returned
with the buffer, who had no sooner
entered the saloon than he called out:
Where's the man who says this
country has over 10000, 900 popula
tom"
The saloonist modest.y replied that
he was the man, and in less than
minute the two ten-dollar bills were
placed in the hands OF the first
caller.
There's a new map in the store
across the way which has the census
figures on it, said the saloonist. and
they all went over to see the matter
settled.
The figures showed that the beer
seller had won by large majority, but
nothing on that map, nor above, below,
nor behind it could tell what had be-
come OF the man who held the stakes.
Indeed, it was only after the one who
had lost had also slipped away that
anybody realized that they were con-
iederates. Then the victim started out
with a club to hunt the world over and
reduce the population by one. but his
search was in vain.
