Why Trade" Dollars We're Minted.

The trade dollars" were legal tender
to the amount Of - up to July 3., l~,G.
The coinage OF this money was author
ed by an act of Congress PASSED IN
February, 1855 1t was intended to ex-
port the money to China, where it would
circulate in common with the Spanish
and Mexican dollars. There Is no mint
for the coinage Of gold and silver in the
Celestial Kingdom, and the trade dol
lars being a little more valuable than
the Mexican coins. an opportunity wa
offered for a market for the surplus
metal Of the mines OF the Pacific slope
The trade dollars were of convenient
form for handling. and relieved Amer
lean merchants from the necessity OF
buying the Mexican money for payment
for Chinese goods.-LetfOit Free Press.
