We are very glad that the silver coin, were kr uudis,urbed

rhsch m not vesy abundant Our ave-n.ue dollar piece should

% seven cents less than the real value OF the American sifrer
dollar, which Is the standard Of American currency. The new
American silver halves and quarters are in value seven cents
below the silver dollar Consequently, all new American coins,

quarters TO ten and frenty cents, respectively. The proposal
