On the contrary, the new dollars. which reach the Chinese under present circumstances are sent into the empire to he melted up, for, as no seignorage has to he paid for those in circulation; they are naturally preferred, as being of a guaran teed intrinsic value, to melt down int Sycee. It is not, however, so much to discuss the matters bouring upon "in- trinsic" and "nominal value that we again revert to the subject of the mint, as to the more general question of what is to be done with the entire establish- ment. Is the Government going to shut it up, sell the plant for what it will fittir, send the officers home, and sit down with a clean loss of $250,000 (assuming that the plant fetched a fair price) or is the establishment to be kept open 1 If the lattor, under what conditions After all that has passed, a direct and specific do- claration on this head can be fairly demanded by the colony from the Gov- ernment.

If, on the other hand, it can be made evident that at the end of any given period it will yield a revenue, it may be quite worth while to keep it in the highest possible state of efficiency. At all events, some eluar understanding es to the future is called for. Meanwhile there are one or two considerations which have not, so far as we are aware, beon stated and to which we would now refer
