OPERATIONS or THE MINT

..... ,....... ",,...,,. 2b9u,2Vg
Compared with the previous year
there was an increase of $1,000, ,232 "a
in the amount of gold, and sS, 1919, 236
in the amount of silver bullion operated
upon s5.s99, ,236.5O in gold coinage,
and s9,423,53250 in silver coinage
The increase alone in the silver coinage
over that OF the last fiscal year has
been greater than the total amount oi
silver coinage executed in any one
year prior to 1874.
In speaking Of the coinage of the
proposed dollar, the Director says that
half of our minting capacity is in the
States west of the Rocky Mountains
and where but small amount Of sill
yer dollars will be required for circula
tion. In order to insure the general
distribution of the new coin, the ex.
penses of transportation should be paid
by the Government out of the gain OF
seinorages.
He also suggests that the legal ten
der of silver dollar should be limited
to an amount sufficient to prevent il
from expelling gold from the country
and Tor the purpose OF restricting il
issue to the requirements OF the public
tor such money, us well as TO keep il
at par with the full legal.tender money
il should be issued only in exchange
Tor United States notes and gold coin
Ii such restriction be placed upor
the issue, no limitations as to the
: amount to be coined will be necessary
These coins should also by law be made
. receivable by the United States for al
dues except duties on imports.
The Director estimates the present
running capacity at about 50, ,OOO,O ,OOC
per month in silver dollar pieces, anC
believes the issue Of that amount would
prove of much benefit TO the public, aid
in stimulating a revival Of business
steady the value Of silver, and protect
our important silver mining interests
The Director states that to estimate
the amount of coin and bullion in the
country is always matter of uncer
tainty, one Of the obstacles in the way
being the impossibility OF determining
with any degree of accuracy, The
amount OF gold and silver consumed il
the arts and manufactures and espe
cially us coin as well as bars is used
for those purposes. 1t is also quit,
difficult to estimate the amount in pri
vate hands. Taking these difficulties
into consideration he thinks il not ial
out of the way to state the amount ol
gold coin and bullion now in the coun
try at about s4S5, 100000, and silver
at 0,O00,O 900.

POLITICAL TREASURE TROVE

Mr.. Redfeld, the indeiatigable rov.
ing correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, has been delving among
the voluminious correspondence OF the
late Andrew johnson and has found
good deal of matter that, if not really
important, throws good deal OF light
upon the ex-Prcsident's character and
shows to some extent the manner in
which his famous policy was shaped
by extrinsic influences. Here is an
immense conglomeration of letters and
telegrams, several columns OF which
are printed as samples, from men of
high and low degree in public lie,
whose close connections with johnson
were either never known, or have since
been entirely forgotten, In February,
1866, confidential friend of Oliver p.
Morton telegraphed that the latter was
ready to accept position in the Cabi-
net of His Accidency, rs he wus
then styled. About that time johnson
was quite toast with influential Re-
publicans, although his policy was
already clearly foreshadowed Colonel
Forney telegrapbed his congratula-
tions from Philadelphia and Simon
Cameron from Harrisburg, in Wow of
the Pennsylvania election in the
autumn of 1865 while Charles Sumner
fired solemn protest from Boston at
the White House. On the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1866, Henry J. Raymond, OF
tho New York Times, telegraphed /:
Enthusiastic popular sentiment here
is overwhelmingly with you !" and
William II. Seward, who was in New
York, capped this dispatch on the next
day with the sanguine statement that
"The country is safe the administra-
ton is established its enemies are no
where" The historian Bancroft was
ELUSIVE in his praise Of johnson and
bis policy he seems TO have kept on
the blind side of oil the administrations
that have come along In his time.
James Gordon Bennett, the first of the
{ name, wiote confidential letters pur-
porting to disclose the political situa-
ton in New York. He did not hesi'
tate to say that Mr.. Johnson occupied
"a position IN this country only cqualed
by that of the first President after the
RcroIution of 1776, but with future
far beyond the past in breadth and
volume" He virtually placed the
Herald at the disposal Of the admins
tration From all quarters came mes
sages Of cheer and injunctions to stand
: firm. no wonder that the Tennessee
Tailor was encouraged to go to the
length Of an,agonizing his party and
becoming an habitual vetoer in carry
ing out policy that seemed to have
such strong backing.
II is curious TO note how many Of
. these posthumous papers are devoted
{ solely to the claims Of the Office seekers
There is vein of humor running
. through many of the letters that was
by no means apparent to the writers
I, There was very little civil service re
