the name of the manwho has been recommended until the officials of the I But whatever rights and privileges are denied Senators under the civil service laws their counsel seems to have had considerable weight In this case This accounts for Senator White denial that he has made any recommendation but there seems to be but little doubt that he certified to Mr Beck char acter Thomas A Beck

form all existing foreign silver to be called in and paid for at its present value such imported silver not being a legal tender after thirty days from the date of the publication of the decree The next step of the Government we believe will be to Issue its own paper payable In gold two of the present dol lar notes to one of gold It Is the idea of the Government to put the country on a gold basis A very close translation of the official decree taken from La Gaceta the offi cial organ of the Government of Costa Rica Central America dated San Jose de Costa Rica July 4 1896 is as follows Considering that it is convenient to the economical interests of the country to avoid as much as possible the Increase of silver money which by its demerit and constant fluctuations has become a clr culating medium of uncertain value and would by its Introduction In the Republic should It be maintained as legal tender be an obstacle to the adoption of another metal of better value and to the estab lishment of a new monetary system on a more solid basis at the initiative of ths executive power It is decreed Article 1 Until a new monetary system is established In the Republic the coinage of national silver Is prohibited Article I All foreign silver coins of every value are declared out of legal cir culation Article All the foreign silver corns at present In circulation must be presented within the thirty days following this de cree to the General Revenue Admlnlstra tion to be exchanged for the national currency at the legal value at which they circulate After this term those that may

prohibited Whatever may be imported during said period will be reshlpped or retained In deposit at the respective custom house at the Importers option Article The foreign Hirer money thatti according

article The executive power is hereby authorised notwithstanding the dispositions of this law to allow the Bank of Costa Rica under the conditions and for the amount and time that the executive power should consider necessary and convenient to the interests of the nation the retention of the foreign silver money that said bank holds at present as a portion of Its metallic reserve To the executive

Commerce JOAN QTJZROS A commercial agent who has lived several years la Cost Rica said yesterday The cause of this action by the Government of CosUIUcals the action of the bank tn recently flooding the countrr with cheap Penman dollars When iaraers and others want to raise hnoney from banks on mortgages or lnr the Costa Rica banks issue to them bank notes whkh are accepted currency in that country rTr When silver began to to down so low the banks imported large consignments of silver dollars from Peru The banks called In their notes and gave their debtors the Peruvian silver which has greatly depreciated In value The result is that the banks have virtuallj throttled the people and threaten the impoverishment of the country President Rafael Igleslas and Pedro Lon Paex President of the Senate grasped the situation and forced the decree through Congress The placing of Costa Rica on a gold basis may have considerable effect on he trade between that country and America if the Democratic silver Pre Ident Is elected It will be necessary for the Costa Rleans to ship their coffee to a gold country or where they will paid in gold only as silver will be of no use to them If silver rules this country the coffe trade between this port tnd Costa Rica may be materially Injured and the prices greatly raised Costa Rica ex ports considerably more than It Imports and this balance In Its favor must come to the countrj In gold only Costa Rica financiers look to the United States to maintain a gold stand lrd and urge that It is easier for a farmer to try an experiment on three acres of ground than on 300 acres They mean by this that little Costa Rica has tried the experiment of silver and they all hope that the United States will elect McKlnley for President Guatemala
