[The following tal es of money, weights, and measures, prepared for the United States T. easury Department by Mr. E. B.

THE INTRINSIC VALUES OF THE PRINCIPAL GOLD AND SILVER COINS OF DIFFERENT FOREIGN COUNTRIES DUE TO THEIR LEGAL WEIGHT AND FINENESS. AND 2) THE INTRINSIC VALUES DUE TO THEIR ACTUAL AVERAGE WEIGHT AND FINENESS AS ASCERTAINED BY TRIAL AT MINTS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF OTHER COUNTRIES: (8) THE RATES FIXED BY UNITED STATES LAW AT WHICH CERTAIN FOREIGN COINS OR CUR RENCY SHALL BE RECEIVED IN PAYMENT OF CUSTOMS DUES. Iu reducing the value of silver coins to the gold standard of the United States, the value of gold has been considered to be 153% times that of silver of the same weight and fineness-this rate being the average of those obtaining in the London market for the fourteen years, 1853-1866. The values of silver coins derived from trials at the U. S. mint, as here given, are less by about 1.220 per cent. than the corresponding values published in the Official Tables; the latter values having been reduced to a gold basis on the assumption that the market price of gold is 15.1875 times that of silver, instead of 15% times, as here employed.
