A Compromise.

The authorities had proposed that out Of
every hundred pieces, fifty Of iron and fifty
of copper be included. This had been re-
fused. A dicker had followed, with the
final result that, while In not a single town
were any iron cash forced into circulation,
the people had consented to count seventy
seven pieces of copper cash as one hum
dred in one town, eighty-flve as one hun
dred in another. and so on, the compliant
spirit of the people being exactly measured
by the gap between the nominal and ac-
tual hundred pieces of money; but there
was absolutely no other result effect
ed than an added perpleXity in keeping
accounts. If in selling silver bullion / was
forced to receive only seventy-seven cash
for a nominal hundred, / received in eXac,
proportion more OF those nominal hundreds
for each ounce of the precious metal on
the other hand I'm purchasing any article
the price was gagged to correspond 10 this
difference between name ana fact The
Chinaman who bought rice got only sew
enty-seven cash worth for his nominal
hundred cash.
The most recent attempt to tampar with
Chinese currency was an order directing
the coinage of large piece. which should
pass equivalent TO twenty pieces of or
binary size. 1t was SO stamped. The Chi

than four of the coins formerly in use II

We are pleased to present to the dairy
men of this section a lengthy account ola
new Vermont industry, The Kow-Knre

Out of large number of testimonials
we have selected what w have space
for. Many of these are from leading
dairymen near US, in fact, our neighbors,
men who mean just what they say every
time.
There can be no doubt about the merits
OF this article, as it has proven itself over
and over to be a success. One of the best
proofs Of this, is, that the company is
forced to work day and night to keep up
with the orders.
