discovery could best be- utilized for
the human welfare in countries sub

THE MEXICAN DOLLAR.
Il the STANDARD OF Value In . Large
Portion OF the Earth.

The Mexican dollar, says W. T..
Curtis, IN the Chicago Record, has
been the standard Of value in the Pa
ciic ports of Asia, and also in the
Spanish West and East Indie, for u
century or more. There il no record
Of the time or the reasons for it, adop.
ton. But for generation after gencr-
alton hcmint. of Mexico have turned
out hundred, Of millions of silver dol
lar. which have been shipped to the
Chinese ports, 10 Cuba, To Porto Rico,
to the Philippines, TO Formosa and
elsewhere, and accepted by the peo-
pie n, legal tender. China practically
has no coinage except brass cash
or ponnios-and the Mexican dollar
is equivalent To the tael. II You 20
into u bank in China and present u
draft you will receive Mexican dol
lars. They are not only used for
money, but are treated rs bullion. aud
are melted up by the Chinese and
East Indians for Use in the mnnufac-
lures aud the arts. In the absence Of
saving, banks, it is customary for
those who arr fortunate enough to ac-
cumulatc n supply to melt them and
pour the metal into a hole in the
ground, very often under the floor Of
the dwelling or shop. which is the
saicst place 10 keep the surplus from
the ayaricious mandarins, who usu-
ally find some way Of Squeezing
merchants and others who have been
able to accumulate wealth.
Some years ago the government OF
the United States attempted to find
a market in the east for the product
of our silver mines in the form Of a
coin Of the same weight and fnenes,
as the Mexican dollar. 1t was called
the trade dollar" but the efforts ia
introduce ii were unsuccessful, and
after a long experiment the coinag,
was suspended and the dollars wer,
called in for redemDtion.
