When You Go Shopping There, n servant
Carries Your Money.
When you go out shopping in that
country, you must have with you 90 or
20 pounds of silver and or pounds
Of copper cash. These are usually car.l
ried by your manservant. who, in many
instances, gives bonds before he 10 in
trusted with anything Of value by an
employer. In every large store the bulk
OF the silver renders O safe Of no use
and necessitates the setting aside of =
great silver room, with scales and spe.
cial clerks and guards.
Banks in the far east and great mer-
camille houses have storerooms or silver
rooms frequently 20 by 80 feet in size
and force Of clerks and guards Of from
10 to 30 to take charge of the treasure.
Tho wear and tear Of silver is hardly
noticeable in our own country, but out
there in the far east. where it is the sole
currency. it is very important item.

which rubs off or is knocked off by tho
shaking Of the coin. The continual
handling and rubbing of coin against
coin wears the metal away, while the
"ohopping" or testing invariably re-
moves small fragments Of the metal. A
dollar piece in active circulation loses
weight at the rate of cent year, and
after the first year, if not in the Begin
ming, is weighed and treated as mere
bullion.
IN moving coin from the banking
centers to the agricultural districts,
which occurs in the far east the same as
it does in our own country, the freight
and insurance are very heavy and have
to be paid, Of course, by the people who
want the money-that is, the poor
farmer who is selling his crop. He pays
a commission, which frequently runs az
high as 10 per cent and sometimes
reaches 30 per cent. The smaller his
crop and the greater his distance from
the money centers the larger the amount
he pays. In our own country the money
centers are no more numerous than in
China, and yet it seldom costs more
than quarter Of per cent to transfer
$1,000, 900 from New York to Kansas
or the Dakotas If it were silver to be
transported, it would require $4,000
pounds Of the metal for every 81, 000,-
600 worth Of silver, or 81 tons. This
would take six five ton freight cars, and
at ordinary freight rates would cost .
handsome fortune. not to speak Of the
wages Of guards to protect the silver ON
its journey.
The best currency is that which gives
the least trouble and costs the least to
use. An exclusive silver currency is the
most troublesome, the most wasteful
and the costliest currency there is upon
the face of the globe. Interview With
