INV SILVER DOLLAR.
NEW YoRK, July 2O.-An effort Ia be-
ing made by the Treasury Department
TO force the new silver dollar into circu-
lation. Treasurer Gilfllan's circular
| Issued yesterday, was not sent to the New
York National banks. President Tappan
Of the Gallatin National Bank says
There would be no use in sending dollart
10 this city, a. they would Immediately
come back 10 the sub.TreNury. The
Treasurer letter was sent to the banks
in parts Of the country whose people
would have poor facilities for getting
rid Of the new dollars, and would there,
fore be obliged to use them instead oi
bank notes. This showed plainly thai
there was no popular demand for them
II the people wanted them no effort TO
force them into circulation would be
necessary. President Coe, Of the Ameri.
can Exchange Bank, says that the circu-
lar was designed for the West, where
they had held camp meetings 10 pray for
the silver dollar. Mr.. Gil6llan being a
k,nd.hearted man, wished to grant their
petition, but did not try 10 send the dol
lars to this city, where they had not been
prayed for and were not wanted.

see man who thinks that the relations
OF parties a. they at present exist are not
such as will bring about the best results,
that man Is 3 National. When you see r
man who believes that the financial sys.

When you find man who believes that
