RENTING MONEY TO IRELAND

An Illustration OF now Tree ana H.
dependent coinage of silver at the ra-
ito of 16 to 1 by the United States
would work is furnished by little
document lying on the Troy Times !"
desk. 1t is a receipt given by z. J.
Dooly, agent for Austin Baldwin & Co.
to Patrick Lyons, July %, 1867. At
that time specie payment was sus-
pended in the United States, and gold
was at premium-or rather the paper
money of the country was at dis
count. Mr.. Lyons wished to send
f2 $50 to Mrs. Ann Lyons. The re-
ceipt shows that in order to transmit
this sum to Ireland Mr.. Lyons had to,
pay $14.20. The experience Of Mr..
Lyons was similar to that of thousands
of others during and after the late
war, and until specie payment was re-
sumed in 1879. Some had to pay
much greater premium, because there
were times when the "greenbacks"
were subject to a far larger discount.
What happened to Mr.. Lyons and
others from 1861 to 1879, when they
sent money to ''the old country" will
happen again under like circumstan-
ces, should be the free silver coinage
idea prevail. Our currency deprecated
to the silver basis, will be at dis
count in other countries, and every one
who sends a dollar abroad will have
to pay big premium on every foreign
draft or bill of exchange.
