to the Inquirer, notices statement to the eff
feet that the coinage of the three cent piece is
not proceeded with on account Of defect in
the law making no provision to procure silver
and copper, and that the coinage is therefore
delayed until the deficiency is remedied, and
says
"The above statement is entirely incorrect, SC
far it mpues the scarcity Of the three cent coin
either TO the law to the mint. So for from the
coins of that piece having been delayed for any
reason, II is sufficient to answer that we have al
ready issued over elk millions Of pieces.
With reference TO the alleged scarcity, il mus
be expected, Of course, that coin not eight
months before tho public will be some time in find
ing its way into circulation. But every accom-.
mediation lie afforded at the mint for that purpose
