Washington dispatches state that it is more
than probable that the Treasury Department
will shortly announce its readiness TO issue
small silver currency, in place of the present
fractional paper currency. The sentiment Of
Congress, it is said, comedies with that of the
Secretary of the Treasury, that this would be a
proper step, in view of the present cheapness
OF silver as a commodity.
