THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

"The value.of the depreciated dollar does not show any tendency to rise, to-days exchange being 1/6 13/16 for demand bills on London. For how long such a condition is going to remain to hamper trade it is impossible to forciell, and unless steps are taken to remedy the evil, one may expect the traders of the Colony and the wage earners, in particular, to suffer to no inconsiderable extent. The Chinese community, unlike the European, section, are taking determined action, to discuss the desirability of obtaining a fixity of exchange for flungkong, and one may expect import- ant results from the adjourned meeting which has been called for Saturday next at the Chinese Commercial Union. The whole subject is one that should not be allowed io

prominently before our readers we have re- produced from a Shanghai contemporary, a most interesting article bearing very directly upon the problem, while we have perused a carefully written report appearing in the Straits Times and dealing exhaus tively with the question of analogous interest to Hongkong. We draw special promin ence to the points which are considered

The Government establishment charges, both of the Colony and the F: MS.," are now practically paid in sterling, while the revenue is collected in silver: (the sime remark ap plies, to a less extent, to the Municipalities) These charts are therefu e an unknown quantity in the estimates, and, as silver depreciates, become an ever increasing burden.

question: Is it possible to establish a Gold Standard, or fixity of exchange, at a cost which is not prohibitive, and if so, what form should the currency take??

There are several methods by which 6xity, or approximate fixity, of exchange could be

secured

(1) Stop the free coinage of British dollars, and demonetise the Mexican dollar; e-tablish a Gold reserve, and, in the same way as India has done with the Rupee, force the value of the doll rup 10 2/ or any other value which might appear convenient.

(2) Throw overboard all dollars and adopt

the Indian Rupee. (2) Throw overboard all dollars, and adapt the British Sovereign, as unit, with a decimal subsidiary (token) coinage, *No (t) is practically out of court, as it would entail either thie co-operation of Hongkong which is almost certainly unobtainable, or the minting of a new Straits Dollar, of the same weight and fineness as the British follar. 1 his alternative would be dangerous, because, if the silver value of the new dollar ever went higher than its nominal value every dollar would be swept out of the country.

most they refrain from discussing the ques- tion from the standpoint of trade statistics, because exchange is only one factor out of many, such as supply and demand, 'full or" short crops, alterations of trade routes, com- petition, etc., etc. which influence the volume and value of trade. These factors su con- fuse the result that it is impossible to say how much of an increase or decrease in a given trade is due to exchange, and how much to the other factors. Consequently it is usually impossible to prove anything in connection with exchange from trade statistics. One side will hold that a given result is due to the influence of exchange, There remains No. 3, in favour of which while the other will maintain that it has stand, to begin with, the arguments that a

This course was unanimously agreed to. In connection with the same section some

discussion took place on the question of the amount of cubic'space to be provided for coolie quarters, and eventually it was agreed that a note be taken of the point with a view to further 'consideration at a later stage.

On the clause dealing with the limit of fittings for sleeping accommodation, the Hon. Dr. Un Kai asked whether opium divans were included in the restrictions.

The Attorney-General replied in the negative. Clause 54; which refers to compensation for infected animals slaughtered, was allowed- 10 stand over for reconsideration.

This course was also followed in respect of clause g, dealing with the recovery by the Sanitary Board of cost of disinfection and the payment of compensation for damage done during such disinfection.

The Hon. Der Ho Kai was of opinion that it would be much better for the Government to spend a little money in the payment of com- pensation for articles destroyed, and thus induce the Chinese to come forward and report cases of sickness, than to save a little money, and not have such cases of sickness reported. The Colonial Secretary affirmed that the proper thing to do would be to grant compen sation only in such cases as had been reported, to the authorities, and not to charge any costs for cleansing and disinfection,

ILE the Governor suggested that a proviso be added to the clauses that in cases of inter- tious diseases which had been reported by the owner or occupier no charge should be made for the disinfection of the premises.

The Attorney-General and the Hon. Dr. Clark were of opinion that the proviso should extend only to bases where the feport had been made during the life of the paint.
