Chinese Coins.
Especial Correspondence

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-In these
days, when the most civilized nation of
the world is worrying with itself over
the bone of coinage contention, it may be
interesting to learn something about the
coinage system of the Chinese empire.
China has no mint of any proportions,
as she coins nothing larger than a 20
cent piece. She uses Mexican dollars,
although the greatest demand is for a
circulating medium of very small de-
nomination.
The smaller coinage is 10 cents and 5
cents silver and ''cash. The latter is a
round brass coin, with a hole in the
middle, and it takes from 1, 900 to l, O20
of them to make one Mexican dollar.
Such is the small rate of payment in
the Flowery Kingdom that 100 pieces
of cash are regarded as a good deal of
money.
The value of the Mexican silver dol
lar, which is the monetary unit through
out the entire orient, is about rs cents
in gold.
Shipments of Mexican dollars to
China from San Francisco are made by
nearly every outgoing steamer, and the

THE following from the lips of a coal
miner at La Sale, Ill, may explain in
some degree the determined position of
the miners on strikes, to never surrender
until they obtain concessions from the
mine owners. The extract given below
is from the letter of a staff correspondent
of the St Louis Post Dispatch:
''Let me tell you" interposed one of
the men, Gus Kindermacher, 'vhat the
life of a miner is. You go down into the
mine stripped but for your trousers and
an undershirt and it is hot. so hot that as
you work the sweat pours off. Some
times you stand for hours picking always
in front of you with the fine particles
flying in your face, the water up to your
knees, breathing the hot, foul gaseous
air of the pit, and when you have dug
your coal you must stand for hours and
shovel it in cars with shOvels holding
busheL Why, 1 would go out there in
the air and work with a shovel or wheel
barrow and it would be but play, tell
you, play, to what we do in the mines.
Sand what do we get for this1 Do you
know how much I earned last year? Lis
ten now, $156. Do you hear, $780, With
that l must clothe and feed my wife and
five children. Oh, my God, cannot do
it. And they wonder when we strike.
We only ask for bread-nO more. When
it comes that l cannot earn this for my
family, then | am willing to die, willing
to go out there and be shot by the mill

lolling in the doorway.
While the words of this man sound
violent, they were delivered more with
profound hopelessness than with any
thraat of ravanUa

This operation usually occupies three or
four hours, when the battery is again
ready for work.
In some stations the car is run along
side a movable platform of the same
height as the seat of the batteries in the
car On some roads small doors at the
end of the car and in the dashboard al.
low the long trays containing the bat
teries to be run out and in ON little
trucks rolling on diminutive rails. In
others, doors in the sides of the car drop
on their hinges and expose the rows of
batteries to view. On one American road
the trays lshort ones) are lifted out to
the platform on large forks, and other
batteries, ready charged, are put in
their places by the same means. This
method of changing is primitive and Ia
borious. In well equipped roads the
whole operation of changing batteries is
performed by machinery, requiring less
time and fewer men This done, the car
starts off ON another trip of two or three
hours and from 20 to so miles.
Undoubtedly the storage battery cars
will not surmount the obstacles of
steep grade or of an icy or dirt cover
ed track so well as those of an efficient
overhead trolley system The cells are
an item of large cost, their life varying
from three to eight months, according
to quality and usage. The capital re-
quired for a road of this system is, how
ever, much less than for any of the

Accumulation or storage battery cars
are now operated on three or more roads

land and on two at least in England
Two vans for merchandise, baggage,
etc., were introduced in London several
months ago. Some five years ago rid
ing wagon operated by storage battery
was constructed in London for the en-
peror of Turkey, but as no tales have
reached US that the sultan was emulat-
ing the feats of his prophet, Mohammed,
in traversing space without visible
means, it may safely be concluded that
the monarch still finds pair of pranc-
ing steeds a more satisfactory motor for
his phaeton than the harnessed light
nings.
But much advance has been made
since the sultan's vehicle was built,
both in motors and batteries. Besides

exploited on Chicago streets, and two

CHINESE COINS.

silver bullion sent out to the orient In
bars and bricks is enormous, as silver is
the principal circulating medium not
only in China, but in Japan, India and
other countries of the far east. The
amount of specie taken by these steam
ers averages between 5000, 900 to $780,
600 with each sailing.
The fneness of the Mexican silver,
which is 900, is the same as that of the
American white metal coin.
Although a well known California
broker, in speaking Of the expectation of
Mexican dollars and silver bullion to
China, says that it is quite probable
China will in time mint her own dollar
coins his prophecy strikes one as some
what uncertain, as the demand for the
Mexican dollar in China is steadily ON
the increase.
Little Japan, unlike big China, minis
her own dollars as we'll as her smaller
denominations.
This yam at par corresponds to the
American dollar and is divided into 100
sssens, :" which are subdivided into 10
''rins' each.

WHO ARE THE HONEST MEN

L
Mr.. Merwin, in recent article in the
Atlantic Monthly, says in talking about
New York:
sfThe upper class-at least the rich
class, the class chiefly talked about in the
newspapeFs-is,w with exception, of course,
given over to material luxury aud Osten-
tation- 1t is without high aims. without
sympathy, without civic pride or feeling
1t has not even the personal dignity OF
real aristOcracy. Its sense Of honor Is
very crude. And as this class is devoted
to the selfish spending, so the business
class is devoted to the remorseless get
ting of money. A Wall street financier
would overreach his own father ia a bus
ness transaction. To get the better of
the man with whom he IS dealing has
become law of his nature, and 1t Is on
this plan that business in general is
done. The tone of Delmonico's, of the
Union club, of the Merchants exchange,
of the Stock brokers' board, is no higher
than the tone of Tammany hall 1t may
be more refined, but is probably less hon
est. A man of Mr.. Cookers origin, for
example, commonly has an instinct of
honesty, just as he has instinct of
pugnacity but this primeval instinct has
almost entirely died out of the trading
and speculative class"
This is the view taken by an East
erner, who ought to know what he is
talking about. If what Mr.. Merwin says
is true. what right have these New York
business men to talk about dishonesty
in Kansas?" Men who will ''overreach
their own fathers" are pretty specimens
to dilate on financial honor and integrity
in Kansas
ITO get the better of the man with
whom he is dealing has become the first
law of nature" to the New Yorker, says
Mr.. Merwin.
Indeed! We are glad to be so bluntly
Informed of a fact that has long been
suspected in the west
Our sorrow for the eastern man who
has been bitten on investments in Kan
sas is somewhat tempered by this in
formation that he would have ''dOne" US
if he could.
Why should Kansas seek to redeem
herself" in the eyes of such a pack of
thieves? Kansas will pay all her debts
to the last cent, but she wants no further
abuse from the newspapers of New
York. We believe the standard of finan-
cial honesty is higher in Kansas than it
is in New York If Mr.. Merwin's tes-
timony is to be taken as true, it is I'M
dOubtedly many degrees higher.
