THE TeAbE DOLLAR.
Its Origin ana Career-Coined for Use In |
Oriental Countries.

Its Origin ana Carcer-Coined for Use In
Oriental Countries.
One of the annoyances of business
men is the ''tradc dollar" says the Kan.
sas City Star. A man will come in hur-
riedly, make II purchase, and throw
down O disc of silver that looks and
rings like dollar. After he is gone the
merchant finds II 'trade dollar" in his
till. and it has II tendency to ehim
irritable.
The trade dollar was u commercial
convenience when first coined, but it is
now commercial nuisance. In 1873
the trade dollar was issued for purposes
of trade with China and other Asiatic
countries Before that time Americans
had been buying Mexican dollars and
shipping them to the Orientals in paw
ment of merchandise. The trade dollar
was never intended for circulation in
this country, but for expectation
abroad. For five years they were
coined and largely used. The act au-
ts'rizing their coinage repealed the act
authorizing the coinage of the standard
dollar, thus making them for Il time the
only dollar coins issued by the United
States The merchants might as we'll
have used silver bars for eastern trade.
but 1T was thought that the stamp of the
government certifying that 1870 grains
OF silver 900 fine would give other coun-
tries greater confidence than to
use simple bars of silver I'M
stamped and unccrtificd. From 1878 to
1876 they were legal tender, and Ii, OOO.-
600 of them were coined. From 1876 to
1878 all trade dollars coined were not
legal tender, but it is the opinion of
eminent lawyers that the Is, OOO. 900 nj
ready coined were legal tender, while
those coined after 1876 were not. Their
coinage was discontinued February %.
1878, up to which time there had been
35,959,3GO coined. The exact value of
n trade dollar now is "a cents, although
people get as much more than that for
them as they can.
February 10, 1887, an act was passed
by congress authorizing the redemption
OF trade dollars for six months, dollar
for dollar. At that time statisticinns
estimated thatatherc were about +, OOO,-
600 in the country. AS 1853, O36 were
redeemed it is probable that there are
not many now in the United States.
although they do not command a pre-
MUM as rarities
Like all the other coins of value the
trade dollar has been counterfeited
most of the counterfeits being made of
type metal and circulated in China, Ja-
pan and the East Indies. The inhab.
itants of the east have learned to DO
wary and watchful when handling
coins that come from the occidcnt.
Most of the trade dollars that went to
the eastern countries were melted and
recoincd in the currency of the orient.
The trade dollar contains four more
grains of silver than the standard dol
lar, and has eight onc-thousandths the
less of alloy.

Queer Bond of Sympathy Between Men
Who Arc Strangers.
A social philosopher in the Boston
Transcript says that there is Il kind of
freemasonry in boards. A man with a
long beard always makes the acquaint-.
ance of other men with long boards.
Their boards are the only common
friend they need; and no man with such
4 beard will ever suspect any evil of an
other man with long beard Thou
sands of dollars have been borrowed
with nothing but beard for security
The acquaintance generally begins in
the same way.
"A fine day, SIR" says one long
bearded man to the other. They have
been glancing at each other for some
time in a friendly sort of way. The
other makes u casual reply about the
weather.
Good weather for whisl1crs to grow"
says the first jocularly.
That's fact" says the other; chow
long have yours been growing?"
Just seventeen years last Thanks

"Well, beatyou by a year and half. "
Then they compare measurements;
and from that time they get on famously.
This is rs good means of introduction
as being very fat. Did you ever notice
how quickly two fat men get nc
quainted, and from comparing weights
advance to all sorts of friendly conf
dcnccs?

that business in all its branches will

About three months ago Miss Sallie.

Birdie Rucker, Of Amherst county,

lied, and this morning at sunrise her
spirit winged its flight.

sition and bright mind. She died a
triumphal and peaceful death, in the
communion of the Methodist Church.

THE CRISIS IN BRAZIL.

While there is no doubt of q serious
crisis in the affairs of the new Brazilian
Republic, it does not yet appear that
there is genuine revolution.
II President do Fonesca is. as he as
serts, acting in tho defense Of fepIbli-
can institutions, his extraordinary ex-
ercise Of authority may be justifiable,
and If he strong enough to win and
demonstrate the truth of his assertion,
he will add to his laurels.
A report from London says that the
continued illness OF the President and
continued intrigues as to his successor
are at the bottom of the trouble, but
this is not consistent with the reports
direct from the Brazilian capital.
Senior All De Pauleo Coelpoe, editor
OF the United States of Brazil, and. un-
til Dom Pedro's overthrow and exile
from Brazil, a promoter of American
Brazilian enterprises and constant
correspondent OF the most important
officials at Rio, has the following to
Say:
"There Is no revolution in Brazil, nor
will there BIO. do not hesitate to say
the existing trouble may be traced ta
the English and their great chagrin at
the treaty of reciprocity recently made
with this country. Ever since the
president signed the treaty the English
agents have been bowling into the ears
OF the younger congressman that great
injustice was done to Brazil and sums
of money thereby lost, and it seems not
without effect"

From the appearance of it's advertising
