Show A Canadian paper has the following to say of United States money In Canada: Can-ada: "there Is a movement under way to shut United States cmrency from Canada. A widespread sentiment senti-ment has existed for a long time that .something should be done to give our own Canadian coins a pieference In Canada and if the piesent agitation lesults In anything towaids the accomplishment ac-complishment or this much desired resultthcie will be general satisfaction. Canada has no more need to use for eign coinage In carrying on its business busi-ness than the majority or us have to use wooden legs, and the practice should be put under some sou or a handicap forthwith. It Is not long since a piomlncnt Eastern manufacturer manufact-urer drew attention to the exceeding prevalence of this piactlce in the West, and he emphasled his objections objec-tions to it while on a visit heie by absolutely refusing to accept United Statcscolus In change at any discount. When the public takes the matter up In this practical way the end of the United States coin's day of giaceln Canada will have come. On both patriotic and practical grounds this course should be adopted without delay." If theic is in Canada the same aversion to United States money that there is to Canadian money in this country, then the Canadians ought to have no ditllculty In barring our coins. Every time a man In this country permits another to pass a Canadian quarter or dime on him, he has a disposition to kick himself for a week, and If the Canadians will keep their money at home and ouis out It will be a pleasure that Is not onesided. |
