of the three hundred days in the year in order to acquire sufficient revenue to pay bare expenses. It is possible that on one or two occasions the latter number was struck in its presses, but it is doubt- ful whether it ever, at its best, really turned out completed dollars at a higher rate than twenty-five thousand a day. The dollars made in the establishment were frequently melted up both in China and elsewhere, while the small coins were in great demand for conversion Into- buttons! If the Chinese Government could be induced to make a British dolar coined here a legal tender throughout China, and to prohibit chopping, a Mint here might in time become a vast and profitable establishment, and our cur renoy difficulties cease, but we are afraid nothing less than a second Yunnan difficulty would be likely to Impress upon the Chinese Government the de- drability of such a step.
