It has been surmiset in Hongkong that, in causequence of Indi's financial policy, the Government of Mexico might pat an export daty of 3 or ven 5 per cent. upon. Mexinan dollars. Here, the possible duty has been placed as high as 10 or 30 per cout. It has utan beer saggested that the goining of Mexican dollars might be fut crupted In the same way it bax buen conjectured that the action of India might possibly produos some 150 upon Japan, and perhaps induce that soun bry to limit her coinage or increase the 'mint obargua..
This has bet ne again the old demand for a British dollar which Sir Hercules Robinson, writing in 1844, described as a question of some geard standing.
The extrama impensability of the losing of the mint in Mexico may be judged of by the Lllowing eriracts from the lofter of the dires- Loaf the Chartered Bank, to which referènes has been made in paragraph 10:-

The official legond which it bears is to him merely a garantes of the fooness of the silver.
-BURKIDIARY COINAGE. 18-It may perhaps be assamed as cartain that the coinage of a new 3 British dollar would involve also the issue of new subsidiary coinage or of new copper coins. The sabsidiary silve or copper midshow in virculation hova a recog- used values fractional parts of the dollars which are now by law "teral tender."
