Trade Dollar Redemption.


The action of the Senate in tacking a
traded dollar redemption clause Oh the
Morrison surplus resolution has
brought back the whole subject of the
trade dollar and given it renewed
interest. 1t is doubtful if the
clause survives the pressure Of con
ference. but whether it does or does
not it suggests some pertinent inquir-
les. especially as the Washington dis
patches have been somewhat mislead-
ing.
There seems to be q very wide differ
encc of opinion as TO the number of
trade-doilars outstanding. Senator sew
ell. Of New jersey, says that there are
not more than five millions Of them.
but the treasury officials think that
there are about three times that mum
ber. Now the actual coinage amounted
TO S35 .959, $50. How many there are
still in the country il is impossible to
tell. Some time ago the number was
estimated ut $6oO0,Co0. 1t is supposed
that about thirty millions of them were
exported to China and Japan and are
still held in those countries.
The trade-dollar contains 40 grains
OF silver. or u more than the standard
dollar. 1t was originally legal tender
for s. only and was first coined in 1878
and was originally worth more than its
face in gold. The government simply

In New Quarters.

Messrs. Lord & Thomas, or Chicago
the wcil-knOwn and popular advCrtis'
ing agents have removed 10 new quar-
ters, which are SO spacious, SO elegant
and SO original and novel in their ap-
pointments, that they deserve more
than a passing notice. The building,
Nos. 10, A. and - Randolph ST., be
tween State and Wabash Ave-, is at
once the most striking in appearance
and the most elegant in Chicago: built
Of sandstone, it is 20 by III feet, practi-
cally fire proof, and lighted on four
sides. Three large elevators and two
spacious stairways, give abundant IA
clities for passengers and freight.
Messrs. Lord & Thomas occupy The en-
tire third floor, giving them a superficial
area Of nearly 1900 square feet. This
beautifully lighted room is unbroken
by partitions, save a private office in
one corner, thus bringing the entire
working force of about sixty clerks in
to one spacious room, certainly the
largcs. Office of any advertising agency
In the country, if not the largest busi-
ness Office of any kind on the continent.
The various departments are so ar
ranged, that the work passes along
with almost mechanical regularity.
While the entire appointments are
elegant. the filing department is az
ranged on an entirely new principle,
which amounts to All important inven-
ton. Heretofore advertising agents
have filed their newspapers in wooden
pigeon holes, which not only excluded
the light, but caught and retained the
dust, and thus proved nuisance. The
new filing department Of Messrs. Lord
Il Thomas is made entirely Of wire
work; 4 separate compartment IS made
for each newspaper. magazine and peir-
iodicals in the United States and Can
ada, about l4,0(0 in all. The various
sections are appended from the ceiling
and hung clear of the floor, leaving a
space under each one SO that the entire
floor can be swept. Space will not per-
NIT us to describe this important inn
provement in detail. The principles
upon which it is constructed will be
covered by letters patent. The Chicago
Safe and Lock Go. have constructed

ever built il Chicago. Our friends
who wish to see copy of our paper

Thomas

the situation changed, and there came
to be a profit in the home circulation.
TO protect the public the government
shut down on the coinage and repealed
that part of the original act which made
ii legal tender for limited amount.
Congress did not forbid the coinage,
but put the matter in the hands of the
Secretary cf the Treasury to limit Il G
supply To the export demand. In 1877
that officer shut down altogether upon
the coinage, and there has not been 4
trade-dullar minted since the discontin-
uance order of 1877 was issued.
If the proposed redemption policy
were confined to the trade dollars now
in the country il would be different
thing, but it is thought that if the
proposition is finally adopted that spec
ulators will arrange TO bring large
quantities of the trade dollars now III
the far East back to this country fer
redemption. Perhaps this il ground
less fear. 1t is difficult to form an in
teligent opinion on that subject, for
there is 10 commerce new in those
coins as an article of import. Congress
should certainly do nothing to unneceS-
sarily increase the volume of silver
in the United States. The problem is
rather to increase the export of it to
the fullest possible extent and shut the
door against ary importation or reim-
porta'ion.
The trade-dollar question has re-
ceivcd but little if any attention from
this congress until Friday, and Oh the
whole it would he more prudent to
postpone action upon its redemption
until next winter. That will afford
none too much time for the ascertain
ment OF the facts pertinent TO the queS-
tlon and necessary to its right solution
