The San Francisco call., 1910-10-30

~ the days OF old in San Francisco
there were some extraordinary con-
i ditions, when one looks back at them
from the standpoint Of modern times,
and yet what today seems bizarre, was
in those days taken as a matter of
course
In the early, that is in the very early
days, from the time Sam Brannan start
ed the California Star in the first part
Of 1847 in the village of Yerba Buena,
which subsequently, became the city
of San Francisco, down to as late as
1853, small change was scarce and the
only medium of circulation in the or
binary lines of traffic was the Spanish
money which held sway until after the
discovery of gold by Marshall at Colo
ma in 1873 The subsequent rush OF
gold seekers brought with them the
current coins of the many parts Of the
world from which they came. The coin
from the east was at par the peso Of
Mexico and old Spain was accepted for
q dollar. and the smaller denominations

Of Buddhas on the Pacific coast and the

was brought out OF Siam after over
coming many obstacles. 1t can never
be duplicated.
The present king of Siam. a highly
educated man, recognizes the inpor-

and some time ago issued an edict
strictly prohibiting any further

The ancient laws Of Siam made pro-

Davids, the oriental scholar, says:
Buddhism is the history OF more than
half the people in the world for more
than 1000 years. It appeals not to
sword. but to intellectual and moral
suasion. with never a religious perse-
cution IN all its history" The last fact
alone makes 1t worthy our respect.
when our ancestors were in the
depths of savagery Indian sages were
indulging in metaphysical disquisitions
which are even today the admiration Of
western savants"
Into this inheritance came Gautama,
the Buddha, $50 years before Christ
His teaching was pure philosophy. He
was an iconoclast, a reformer and
leveler OF caste-that curse OF India
and he preached not only the brother
hood Of mankind, but of all living crea-
lures. The irony of fate has made
representations of him, who abhorred
idolatry in all it's forms. the presiding

change of the very early days.
The bit became one Of the institu-
tions Of the land. The early residents
of the city disdained anything smaller
than q quarter, declaring that they had
no use for bits when dimes
and half dimes or their then
foreign equivalents were rendered.
In that way the term bit came to be
applied to the real, and finally it was
extended to two, three. four, five, six
and seven bits and then came the dol

were sold for three, five or seven bits

The time came, however. when the

that way he divided the money. Thfs,
however, was of but short duration.

The casting of bronze was known to

great ceremony; many jewels and arti-
