Oriental Finance.

Korea rCeks with corruption" said
the bishop of north Queensland re.
Gently on his return from visit to
Korea. Il will give you an illustra-
ton. Some time ago a commercial
traveller-who probably had something
to gain by the prOposaI-showed the
king or emperor that the intrinsic
value of the nickel scent coin in cir
culation was only half its face value.
He suggested that the king might es-
tablish mint and turn out these
coins at a great personal profit. The
idea was at once put into execution
and the market flooded with a debased
coin. Naturally, there was very soon
a partial paralysis of trade. The for
eign merchants refused to take the
new coin; but the native trader had
no remedy. except in raising prices.
The king--Or emperor, as he now calls
himself-had some ready money, but
all classes Of his people suffered i'm
menSe losses. The yen for instance,
fell to half its regular value. Event.
ually, however, after about twelve
months operation, the mint ceased to
turn out these nickel coins"
