TESTING COINS

There goes another man suffer-

pieces Of silver in making change,

fore my eyes. 1t is only lately
that people who buy have Got rude
enough to do that Clerks always
did it with coin that Gus omers
gave them. but that was a p,eroga-
tive of the trade. For the CUSTOM
to assume the same privilege is a
unsurpation of ancient rights. The
worst of it is most people nova
days are pretty good judges Of bad
money, and every little while a coin
is refused because it is counterfeit.
The only way tradesmsn tan teach
customers the respect due them is
to turn their own backs when test
ing money. That has always been
the custom in England. No trades
man over there would dare FLIP a
coin under a customer nosa, and
as a consequence no customer has
ever taken that liberty with him.

GOLD AND SILVER

Gold and silver are measured by
troy weight and other commodities
usually by avoirdupois weight.
The two standards may be traced
back to the grain, which is a
measure IF weight common to both
systems. The troy ounce 'cortains
$50 grains and The avoirdupois
437a grains; while the troy pound
contains y ounces and Che avoirdu-
pois pound l6 avoirdupois ounces.
A troy pound thus contains 5760
grains and the avoirdupois round
1000 grains. To arrive a. the
value of a ton of gold, the troy
pound must be translated into The
av%oirdupois pound. fhe troy
pound is worth, at S2O.67 an ounce,
24S.04, while the avoidupois POUND
is worth approximately S3Cl.43.

CHAMP CLARK'S CHANCES

1t is not believed that any candi-
date will &c 70 Baltimore with
enough votes TO nominate for that
convention will operate under the
two-thirds rule, but il is possible
that Speaker Clark will have more
votes at the outset than any other
candidate. Either he will lead or
Wilson. There is no candidate in
the running so progressive" as
Wilson, nor none so conservative"
as Harmon. Wilson and Ha mon
represent the extremes and Clark
is hall way between them.
This being true, there is ground
for the belief of Clark managers
that the speaker in the event of a
deadlock, will draw support from
all other can .idates. The Harmon
supporters will hardly go to Will
son, and the Wilson supporters will
not go to Harmon.
Another thing that operates in
favor of Clark. He has exhibited
a sense of honor in his public
career; he has made a a record
with which the count cy is familiar,
and there appears to he a feeling
among business men in the East
that Clark is safe" 1t is true
that a great many eastern demo-
Gratis look with favor upon Har-
mon, but it is equally true that
there is not much enthusiasm for
Harmon outside of Ohio. Because
of the lack of probability that
Harmon can be nominated eastern
democrats who were inclined to
favor him. have been looking about
for the next best man, and almost
always they settle upon Champ
Clark or else on Oscar Underwood,
Champ Clark's lieutenant in the
house of representa- YES.
But for the fact that he has
recently become a national figure
Underwood would very likely be a
strong factor in the in the demo-
cratic presidential race. But il is
believed that Underwood. sooner or
later, will retire in favor of Clark
as showing the greater strength.
There is plenty of opportunity
for the democratic presidential
outlook to undergo great change
before the Baltimore convention
meets, but it is the judgement of
most politicians in Washington
that perhaps Champ Clark today
has a better chance than any other
avowed candidate for the democ-
ratio presidential nomination.
