it incurablo. Science has proyon catarrh
tobe a constitutional dlsi-nsp, ami there

COSMOPOLITAN COIN,

Snch a Departure IIm Ilecn Viewed
with Favor by Commercial
and Danklna- Men for
Some Time.
It will not he a surprise to any who
are at all familiar with the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, to
know that people everywhere take
pleasure in relating their experience in
the use of that splendid medicine and
in telling of the benefit they havo re
ceived from it, of bad colds it lias cured,
of threatened attacks of pneumonia it
line averted and of the children it has
saved from attacks of croup and whoop

For many years commercial men o
nil nationalities have spoken and writ
ten on the subject of the introduction of
a system of coinage which should have a
universal standard. The proposition
hns fulled to meet with success on ac
count of the difficulty in persuading the
people of different countries to aban
don their own systems of coinage,
which appear to them part and parcel
of themselves as much as their lan
guage Itself.
"The time seems approaching," said
n financier, "when it will be' possible
nnd perhnps advisable for the great
nations of the earth to meet in conven
tion and adopt a coin which shall be
cosmopolitan, the weight and fineness
of which might be determined by the
convention nnd the minting of which
might be intrusted to .1 body of ex
perts made up of representatives from
all the nations who care to enter into
the project. It may be some time be
fore this comes about, yet it would
greatly facilitate international busi
ness, especially since large internation
al transactions have come to be quite
common. Such n coin would probably
never supplant the coin local to the
various countries in which also the cos
mopolitan coin became current, yet
with educntion taking such strides as
it seems to be doing everywhere it ought
not to be difficult to instruct the chil
dren in schools in the table of the pro
posed coin nnd give them practical il
lustrations in its use. Such a coin
would not be welcomed enthusiastical
ly by small traders in different coun
tries who are wont to profit by the
unfamiliarity of travelers with the coin
of the realm and their natural bewilder
ment in attempting to fix in their minds
the comparative value of articles con
sidered in relation to the money they
have always handled, but it would be
a boon to the great traveling world's
public, to our globe-trotting commer
cial travelers, to opulent tourists and to
indigent emigrants. The current is
surely in the direction of a universal
harmonizing of commercial interests
ind the elimination of all the little
lucky cards and a relegation of all
things and people in trade to a sound
basis of intrinsic merit.''
"The, subject of a cosmopolitan coin
is not a new one," said a member of a
banking firm. "In some of the aspects
af the case it appears to he very desir
able. It has been suggested that the
various commercial nations agree upon
a gold coin, of uniform weight and fine
ness, to be given n name which would
be understood in most of the countries
agreeing to its coinage. Each country
is to coin its own pieces and to be re
sponsible for their accuracy. The coin
Is to have on one side the stamp or
legend of the country coining it nnd
on the other its universal name. It will
readily be seen that with such a coin in
universal use, both in practice nnd ac
counts, commercial transactions would
no doubt be greatly facilitated. 1 do
not look, however, for its early accom
plishment. Its desirability is not suffi
cient to overcome the long established
customs of the various countries so as
to lead them to relinquish the names,
nnd styles of their various coins. Con
servative England, for instance, with
its cumbrous system, is not likely to
relinquish Its pounds, shillings nnd
pence and adopt the decimal system ct
France, Germany, Italy nnd the United
States. And it is not likelv that the
latter would give up their quick- nnd
hnndy decimal system for that of Eng
land. On the whole, the iden is a very
good one, but. like many other good
tilings like the proposed metrical
system, for instance impossible of ac
complishment for vnrious reasons at
present." Chicago Chronicle.
