por ounce, between 4 and per cent profit could have been made by shipping our peso to Hongkong in settlement of foreign debis and had it not been for the law prohibiting the ¦ exportation of Philippine silver coins, many auch abipments would have' been made. If
silver should continue to rise the point would
'soon be reached where the profit to be made would be sufficiently high to induce the smug-
·gling of our currency out of the 'Islands, how- ever rigidly the law might be enforced.
Again just in proportion, as the bullion value of the pesa is in excess of its face value, are we maintaining a needlessly expensive cur rency. It should be remembered that the maintenance of our silver currency involves an interest expense, at bes', et P1,200,000 per

It is in view of these facts that the re-coinage of our currency has been proposed. It is to he
gretted that any change is necessary. How ever, the use of silver under these conditions'as a medio of exchange will inevitably lead to' such readjustment as long as there is marked fluctuation in the price of silver. If silver be comes very cheap the danger of counterfeiting will demand. an increase in the fineness, or weight of the pero. If, on the other hand, it becomes very expensive the amount of silver in the peso must be decreased in onder to prevent the melting up and expaitation of the peso.
The proposed re-coinage of our currency at a fineness of 730 would produce a more durable peso, one in appearance almost exactly similar to the present pesh and one having a bullion. value several rentavos greater than the present peso had when its fineness and weight were determined. If we have so far been able to maintain the par value of the presont peso there is absolutely no foundation (ie the state, ment that we cannot in the future maintain at par a peso having a greater bullion value than the present one had at first. During the last three years the bullion value of our peso has varied from $.76 to P 1072 and yet its value as currency has varied only two centavos.
It cannot be emphasized too strongly that the value of our peko is ani determined by its silver content, but that it is determined by re. gulating the supply of aliem. When the sup

for them to fall in valte, the Treasurer buys in the surplus and withdraws it from circulation The diminished supply will, of course, raise the value of the pesos left in circulation. On the other hand, when there are no few pesos in circulation and the tendency is for them to rise in value, the Treasurer sells enough to meet the demand and the v due of the pesos is there- by decreased. It is for the purpose of making these purchases and sates that the Gold Stand-Censity, for Durban.
ard Fund was created. On September 1, 1906, this fund will contain only one million dollars United States currency of barrowed funds. Strange as it may seen the Government has not only not been to any expense on the $13.100,000 borrowed for this fund but has actually made a small profit on the transac tions.
Should re-coinage become necessary, ševeral things of importance are to be noticed.
