NEW DOLLARS FOR GOLD. The questions which had risen in his mind as regarded this latter point was what were Government's intentions after this Bill had been passed? Wat it to be a permantai con- version or did they intend later to repeat this Ordinance or auch sections as applied to the payment of silver in exchange for notes. At present people could get notes for gold, gold. for notes or silver for notes and that latter "power wasto be taken from them. If they took this power away lie supposed they would give HE leading English Newspaper in Chinat back later or else they would fail to give the Also widely circulated in Japan, Cochin public exchange between silver and gold. This was one of the main ideas of the harbour scheme and if the Government were not, afraid China, Ceylon, India and the Far East
to give silver for gold the public would have Venerally,
Every confidence in their new dollar. He be.. lieved the Government need have no fear of any great depletion of their reserves. He therefore suggested to Government that it should reassure the public if they needed re assuring by declaring that it was prepared to exchange new dollars for gold and that would really only be carrying out the proposals of the Barbour scheme. As regarded the price of silver, of course there were under the present circumstances two courses open. Silver was advancing to parity with the dollar-they could' either raise the rate and cause further disloca- tion of prices and values or on the other hand they could debase the dollar. He saw no rea son, to fear that the public, if the Government were prepared to take the risk of changing gold. for silver, being afraid to accept the new

dollar in his opinion they must reduce the for- ness if only in order to protect the dollar from being melted down; if they took 800 fine it would be necessary to make the dollar of the same size as the 'existing dollar because he understood that the weight of the present dollar was 116 grs, and was nearly equal to two fifty cent pieces, five twenty cent places or ten ten seal pieces. If therefore they reduced the weight they would have their subsidiary coinage main coinage of greater value than the of which it was subsidiary. That might in fur ther years under circumstances which might Arise such as a further tise in silver cause great. inconvenience and trouble.
DOLLAR AND SUBSIDIARY COINAQË 5128.
If they reduced the size of the dollar they...... | ought to reduce also the die of the subsidiary. coinage. The importance of securing a largé margin upon the silver vatus of the dollar was obvious to them all. They did not want to have to go through the worry of a conversion again and they ought to take all steps to prevest iḥ. . They could take such measures as were possible and he suggested that by taking 8oo fise they would be safe in keeping the dollar the same size as at present until silver reached 367 penco.. If they reduced the dollar to 400 gre and 800 fine "they would be safe till silver reached 384 pence which was a very much larger margin than 364 with silver rising, and although they could not penetrate into the future it was obvious that the demand for silver and the production of gold were both apparently on the increase and bolb tending to raise the price of silver still higher. Thirty-eight and a quarter pence might not be high enough in that case, but then they would have to consider a very different scheme for adoption. Provided that the dollar notes be came popular the Governmost need not recoin. so many silver dollars. He gathered that the Colony required about 18 millions in circula- tion, the banks held 6 millions and the Treasury 11 millions so that apparently they would have to replace some 35} millions. If they could replace a large portion of that by an issue of $i notes they would have an amount of silver which, they might be able to sell for goid, keeping a smaller silver reserve.
THE FINENESS OF THE DOLLAR.. *He suggested therefore whilst they had the power to issue notes in exchange for gold they should later on either agree to give gold in ex- change for notes or in exchange for new dollars, that the dollar should be 8oo fine and 400 grs. that they should replace a large pro- portion of the dollars with one dollar notes and so build up a gold reserve and that the reserve of the depreciation fund should obtain a cop. siderable amount of money from the Colonial EXPRESSES, funds.

THE HON. H. FORT'S HOPE. The Hon. H. Fort said that he understood that one of the main objects of this bill was to enable the Commissioners to give gold instead of filver, the main purpose being the retention of silver in their.coffers, that they might have it remiated into new dollars. He would like to know whether sufficient precautions had been taken to prevent the Commissioners at the same time and in the alternativo being de. pleted to a certain extent of their gold reserve. It might at times pay traders of the Colony to exchanges notes for gold and send the gold out of the Colony thereby making a profit out of the gold; and he did not see that the danger. had been provided for. It appeared to him.... that it would be still necessary for the Strajle merchant at times to pay persons in outppris in silver; and if it was legitimata to them to | import Mexican and British dollars and export Straits and at the same time the amount of Straite dollars in the Straits were short it would be extremely difficultfor the merchant to carry
