discount to 5% discount, following the rise of the Hongkong

subcoin, while always remaining somewhat lower. The effect

anticipated a period of 50 years must be allowed for their full

affect to be realized, would be that in the meantime the sub-

-sidiary coinage of the Colony would cease to be British: and

that Chinese coins would become increasingly popular.

that some measure is required which will immediately rehabili-

-tate the Hongkong subsidiary coins: and if the money now being

sunk in measures which will not produce their full effect for

50 years,

can instead be paid as interest on a scheme which will

be instantly effective, the Colony can at any rate congratulate

itself on getting its money's worth instead of throwing good

coin after bad.
