Odd Things About Money

Business men throughout Canada
are disturbed at the preponderance of
American coins in trade circles. Ways
and means are being sought to ex-
clude American silver coins as far as
possible from business channels. The
Canadian Bankers association has
proposed to the Canadian government
that it reimburse the banks for the
charges of shipping American silver
back to the United States, the banks
at the same time to take an equiva-
lent amount of Canadian silver. There
has been no disposition to refuse
American bills, for the balance of
trade is heavily in favor of the Unit
ed States and the bills are accepted
at par by the banks for shipment to
correspondents throughout the United
States.

Turnverein in War Time

The first Turner societies in the
United States were founded in Phila-
delphia and Cincinnati in 1871, and
shortly after, the New York Turn
verein had its start in Hoboken. Two
years later ten societies were flourish
ing and these were formed into Ma
tional Turner union. says Outing.
The revolutionary spirit which
blazed fiercely in Germany in 1S4S
was rushed for the time and many
patriots of superior education and in
teligence fed to this country as an
asylum. They were strangers in
strange land, unable to communicate
with the native born and sociability
was limited to intercourse with their
own countrymen. They had been
Turner's at home, using this organiza-
ton as a nursery of patriotism, in
which high ideals of political, social
and religious progress were cherished
together with the training of the body
for the hardships of the field and
camp.
This ideal of classic times, wisely
reincarnated in modern Germany to
serve nations needs, was trans

corresponding to our American 1-cent
pieces. One hundred of these coins
weight slightly over twenty-four
ounces and a pound and half cop
per costs only 10 to 20 cents. No
great amount of power is needed to
convert the copper into coin and plenty
of labor can be had at from 81 to IS
gold month.
According to Chinese computation,
the pound and a half of copper in
money is worth abont SLIP Mexican,
or 80 cents in gold. While issued at
the mints for 80 cents to one Mexi-
can dollar, SO great is the demand for
these copper coins among the Chinese
that they pass current among the
people for from 95 to 81 cents. A
new mint with an output of 100000
of these coins a day will start up In
Hangchau this month. The new coins
are not only driving gold cash out of
circulation, but will have to be reck-
oned with when a new monetary sys-
tenn Is made for the Chinese empire.

Far down within the dim west.
