METAL TRADING CHECKS.
Used in Parts of Minnesota al a SUI
stitute for Money.

The use of metal trading checks has
become so general in some of the coun-
try districts in Minnesota as to almost
supplant the use of government coin,
and a suit has been instituted against
the stamping concern making the
checks to determine whether the pro-
duction of them is in violation or the
federal coinage laws
These checks are about the size of
silver quarter. They are stamped with
the name of the firm for whom they
are made, and bear a statement that
they will be received for a certain
amount in trade, the amounts ranging
from cents to ST. Country merchants
use them in exchange for produce. They
are good for trade only at the store is
suing them. But from the fact that
the stores refuse to pay for produce in
any other currency, they soon come to
be accepted by all other stores, as the
farmers selling produce have no other
coin to spend. In this way their cir
culation becomes general in certain To-
calities. The storekeepers maintain
that as they have an unquestionable
right to give receipts good in trade it
is immaterial whether they are written
on a paper or stamped on metal. The
practice is profitable one for the mer-
chants, and it enables them to do bust
ness on a borrowed capital on which
they do not pay interest
