HERE AND THERE.

I" ! am much pleased" said a prominent
and well.informed banker OF this city, refer
| ring to an editorial In Wednesdays INTEL
| LaENCER, 4" To see some newsIaper take
| up tho subject OF the government exchang'ne
bland dollars for the unpopular and repudi
| ated trade dollar. Under existing circuin-
stances that proposition IL a most reasonable
one, and the wonder IL that u has not been
| passed or even pressed with much vigor. A
| yreat deal OF discussion and some bitterness
| have ensued over the silver coinage question,
when really II is not ~ important 10 the
| honor and credit of the government and nc
greater matter oi finance than the redemp'
| ton, with some sort Of legal tender, of n coin
| to which the government loaned its super.
| scfiptjon aud which now ~ branded with
| practical reputation. So"ing that its light
| weight Bland dollar, will not move, II could
| save its credit aud iis cake by unloading
| them for tho trade dollars" At least no 1t
| struck a practical business man, who told me
| that tho banks oi this county had ut least
| sT00,OO0 Of these dollars; a great portion Of
| these had been received al par and others
| bought AT discount To- accommodate cuslo-
mers, which IL not covered by the lost interest
The government should call in the trade dol
lar.
| Few speeches made in Congress this or
any other session have had such wide circu-
| lation AZ that of Hon. VIM. L. Scott, on the
| coinage OF the standard silver dollar. The
| current edition of il makes - pages aud IL
! bound IN a tasty terra Gotta cover. In that
form he has supplied 1t to meet n demand
| without limit aud | am told 20O,00o copies
is the figure. II IL reprinted aud furnished
him at actual cost but just stop and calculate
how much 900 600 copjes of almost apy %
