ing is in process. More tillers Of the

THE TRADE DOLLAR.
(Youth's$ Companfon /, {

The trade dollar which was
common enoughs30 or 40 years ago,
Is now no, longer current, and is, Of
course, an unfamiliar sight to the
present generation. It's intrinsic value
is only about Accents, although coin
collectors will sometimes pay IS cents
for q specimen. !,
Trade dollars were authorized by
congress. In 1873, for the purpose Of
stimulating tradeswith the Orient For
many wears the Mexican silver dollar
has been a highly valued coin in
nearly all far eastern countries. Hun
dreds of. millions Of them are ship
ped to China, Japan, the Philippines,
and other lands in that part of the
world. to pay, for the products ex-
ported thence to Europe and the
United States. Congress thought that
a coin Of the same weight and size
as the Mexican dollar, with the i'm
print of the United States, could be
used with advantage.
During the five years beginning
with 1873, the United States mint
produced nearly 36,000,000 Of these
dollars. Most of them were exported,
but enough to them remained in our
own country to lead to some confu-
sion by reason of their similarity to
the standard silver dollar. In 1887
congress provided that for six months
thereafter all trade dollars presented
at the treasury should be exchanged
for standard silver dollars. After
that time trade dollars were to be
worth only their metal value. Near
ly 100000 were redeemed, and
when the period of redemption came
to@:an end, probably less than per
cent of the number that had been
coined remained in this country.
The trade dollars show on one side
a sitting figure Of the Goddess of Lib.
erty, and on the other an eagle of a
different design from that on the
standard dollar. The inscription is
United States Of America, Trade
Dollar. 420 grains, 900 hne." The
standard silver dollar weighs 412 L.
