Astoria Grocery, 521 Commercial St. Amc.'!-; cf Silver in Coin Depends Up on Honesty of Mint Offiolals, and Users Stamp With Initials To Guard Agains Cheating. WASHINGTON, February 21. Rep resenlattvo Julius Kahn, of California, who recently returned 'from a tour of the Orient, talks enthusiastically on the observations he made during his travels. In nothing did Mr. Kahn take greater Interest than in the question of money and the circulating medium of value among the natives whom he visited. In China." said Mr. Kahn, "silver coins do not always contan the requis ite amount of silver: their actual weight as compared with that re quired by the law. depends upon the honesty of 'moderation' of the boss In charge of the particular mint turning these silver coins out. For this rea son coins In general circulation In Chi na only pass for their bullion value, as shown by their weight. Suppose we of this country should have to stop and hesitate over the value of a coin every time one was offered to us In change, or that we had to have the little piece weighed before we could be sure the merchant was not getting the best of us. We of the United States, I'm afraid do not value our monetary system aa we should. "It is customary among the Chinese merchants to stamp the coins that pass through their hands with their own In itials; when this Is done they pass for their face value until short weight Is disclosed, when the man who stamped the coin last must make good the Iosj. The repeated stamping of these coins give them a hollow or dish like shape, and they resemble a pile of plates when stacked up In a bank. 'In the far East gold and paper arc looked upon with suspicion by the na tives. Silver is what they want, for it Is the only money metaf with which thev are familiar. However, In this regard, human nature Is pretty much the same the world over. In Colorado and on the Pacific Coast paper money Is still regarded with distrust by the people. Go Into a bank In San Fran cisco anJ tender a 150 bill for change and the teller will, turn It over and over and scrutinize every part of It before he grudgingly parts with his metallic money for It. In New York and the East people will bite and ring gold coins before accepting them, btu they accept the paper money without looking at It with more than a mere glance to determine Its denomination. John Sharp Wllliams.mlnorlty leader of the House, in discussing the appar ent difference of opinion between the North and the South and their view points on matters of general interest illustrated the situation in one of his characteristic observations to Repre sentative Alexander, of Buffalo, who was born In Maine, and Is fairly typ ical of the New England Continent Alexander Is one of the most popular of the Republicans and is well liked by Williams. "In 1620," said Mr. Williams, "a band of Pilgrims landed on a rock up there in Massachusetts, and the Idea they brought over with them have passed on down through generation after gen eration. Much, if not all, the friction between the North and South that has occurred in this country, can be traced back to the ideas of that band of pil grims Now, this being true, it must follow that if the rock had landed on those pilgrims instead of the pilgrims land on that rock, this country would have been spared a vast amount of trouble; there would have been no sectional feeling, and everything would have been lovely." Mr. Alexander did not quite agree with Mr. Williams' conclusion but thought his illustration showed the readiness with which the minority leader could always Illustrate an ar gument.
