MILLS ARE NEVER COINED.
They Have Always Been Mere Figure
in the World of Finance.


They Have Always Been a Mere Figure
in the World of Finance.
"The mill in coinage exists only in
the school books used Ia the primary
schools. II never has existed anywhere
else, and from the nature of things
never can" observed leading finan-
cial man the other day TO reporter
1T Is mystery to every one why it
was ever originated, for as a unit Of
value 1t Is only fiction. There are no
mills, never have been and never will
be under the circumstances, therefore
don't see why it is put in the books in
the primary schools, with the explana-
ton that ten Of them make 1 cent.
am glad to know that the mill does
not get any more into the school books
of the graded schools beyond the prl-
maries. have been a banker for thir-
ty years, but know nothing of the mill
except what was told me the first week
| went to school. All my life has shown
me that | was told wrong and that
there are not ten or any other number
OF mills In a cent.
Several weeks ago was In Portugal,
and l had decided to return direct to
Boston from Lisbon rather than to sail
In the ordinary way to New York and
from there to Boston by rail- On ap-
plying at n hotel for room l asked,
as Is customary, what was the price.
The clerk answered 75O rels per day.
This was new one on me, for, though
| had run up on number of different
coins in my day here and in various
parts of Europe, It was the first time
l had heard of a rel. Somehow l did
not like the sound of the word, and.
turning TO another clerk, asked what
was the price Of "A first-class passage on
good steamer from Lisbon to Boston.
He answered that it was 10000 reis,'
and seemed to be willing to send me
off on the next steamer. This necessi-
tated my asking for an explanation.
and, as the clerk talked English as well
as | did, | asked him to put his rels
into American dollars and cents. This
he did by explaining that the prices
charged for a room, without board, was
20 cents per day, and that the steamer
fare was $50. This led on to talk Of
rels, which is the unit value of Portu-
gal. In value II represents about the
same as mill. The hotel clerks told
me that there were no rels as matter
OF fact in Portugal and never had been,
though all values were based on them
for unit"
