OF date OF September 5th. setting out the
necessity for prompt action. and asking
what remedy shall be applied. It has
been found impossible, apparently, TO con-
.inue the ratio OF to J. established and
maintained arbitrarily, and the Mexican
money Is being drained away very rapidly
toward China and India, making it diff
cui. for the army disbursing officers TO
transact their business.
The explanation OF this is simple and
yet most interesting In illustration OF
Grcshams law. Until recently the bullion
in the Mexican dollar, which is well known
to the Chinese. and which has for q long
time circulated freely in that country,
was worth a little less than fifty cents;
IN other words. a little less than the half
bullion value of a gold dollar. So long as
tina. was the case the arbitrary ratio OF
two TO one was easily maintain and the
Mexican dollar remained in the Philip
pines. That is to say tho coin which
had less intrinsic value in the markets OF
the world remained ut home" But re-
Gently there has been a slight rlEe in the
price of silver bullion, and on the very
day on which the above statement con-
corning THE currency troubles in the
Philippines was made. Mexican silver
dollars were quoted at SOC. Now observe
that as soon as the price OF the silver
dollar arose TO SOc.. just one-h.tll OF the
price of the bullion value of the gold dol
lar, Mexican dollars in the Philippines
took wings and fsd to China The Chi
nese masses do not handle gold dollars
and know little about them, but they do
know Mexican dollars, and as soon rs the
Mexican dollars became intrinsica!ly worth
exactly one-ha!f as much as gold dollars,
the Chinese grabbed all that they could
get and lrald on TO them. Nrrk you, there
was no Generalization Of the Mexican dol
lar under the arbitrary ratio of two 10
one. but even the simple matter OF prefer
ence on th,. part Of the Chinese was sul-
ficient TO turn the scale and draw prac-
tically All the Mexican dollars away from
the Philippines Was there ever before IN
the history OF the country a more force
ful illustra ton OF Grcsham's law?
