TO COIN ssCHOPv DOLLARS.
Congress Wanted to Pass a Measure

of this Kind.
TACOMA, Wash, June 29.-Repressnta-
tive w. Il. Doolittle left today for Wash
ington, D. c., to spend the summer there
transacting business of importance to the
state. As result of his recent Oriental
trip, he will work to secure the enact
ment next winter of measure providing
for the coinage of ''cInop" dollars for use
in transacting business in the Orient-in
Japan and China especially.
Mr.. Doolittle says: "Great Britain has
long been coming these dollars placing
the Japanese chop or characters repre-
senting the silver in the piece On one
side and the British stamp on the other.
This currency has been of great service
to British merchants transacting business
in China and Japan, and hence to the
British nation at large.
sour trade dollars might have served
the same purpose. but lacking the Japa-
nese chop or character indicating value,
the Chinese and Japanese did not
understand them and would not use
them. The measure / think congress
will enact will provide for the coinage
of these dollars with the eagle on one
side and the Japanese Chop on the
other
1.-THE piece will be irredeemable in gold
and will contain about the same amount
of silver as the American dollar. It will
purchase in Japan about double the
amount gold dollar will purchase in
this country"
