That coin, however, may be expected in time to gain and fully kept up in intrinsia valus, but it will necessarily take some time before ignorant people, such as are the bulk of those amongst whom it is to clrculate, can get accustomed to it. Meanwhile our Government is being strongly urged to issue a British trade dollar, which, bearing the stamp of our Government as a guarantee of the weight and fineness of the silver, would, it is believed, command a wide currency, displace much of the deteriorated and debased coinage now in circulation, and introduce a curtain degree of much- needed uniformity luto the various curren ofes. To all the silver-using countries of the East, the introduction of such a coinage would prove very advantageous, while to as also it would be beneficiat, by opening up a new outlet for our Indian silver. It seems therefore very desirable that the proposed experiment should be made.
