One OF the most troublesome questions

that Of money. As is well known the
Chinese have no other currency than the

The Inconvenience that this weighing
entails would be comparatively small
were all the scales throughout the cin-
pire uniform: but such is not the case.
They differ considerably from one town
to another. and even in the same local
ity. Thus at Pcking there is "a govern
ment standard, naritime customs
standard and a comm erciaf standard.
The same diversity is found over all
the empire, and tue consequent compile
cations and even serious loss in exchange
are continual vexation. Nor is it pos
sible to escape this loss ty carrying cop
per cash with one, for, putting aside
their excessive weight, there is not even
a standard cash in Chipa Those used
at Tien-tsin are pvC used al Picking;

few cases, at slight premium over the
intrinsically more valuable large one. d.
The Mongols, Thihctans and Turke-
stanese have never consented to use the
Chinese copper cash, although it is the
standard money Of the realm. The first
named people rise silver ingots or brick
