paid for their labor in rice. An
islander who was offered a Mexican
dollar. and told that he could get
rice for it, gave back the coin with
the pithy remark that it was rather
small for a farm" When informed
that the grain was to be got not by
actual production, but in the way
of exchange, he replied that he
would take it at once, so there
would be no need Of exchanging"
AS it was impossible to stand up
against such remorseless logic, the
European was left with the uucroWn-
ed dollar.
