The New Dollar,
WHY IT HAS NOT GOT INTO cIRcuLA.
TON.

TlOA.
Special to the Chicago Tribune.
WAsHINGToS, D. C., April 27.-The
attention of the Treasury officials hav-
Ing been called to the fact that the
silver dollar has gained no circulation
except as pocket-pieces, a leading
Treasury officer to-day made the fol-
lowing explanation: II has not been
possible for the Treasury until now TO
commence to pay out silver 10 consid.
cradle quantities for the simple reason
that there were not enough silver dol.
lars coined to begin TO use them In a
general way. II was not PRACTICAL 9
to commence With less than $500, 900,
900, aud II is only now that the Treas.
ury has that amount in its possession.
The Secretary of the Treasury has 10.
day decided that silver shall be paid
out for currency obligations to the ex.
tent that the Government is required
10 destroy notes under the 50 per cent
retirement provision Of tue National
Bank act. This sum varies each
month. This month the smount
will be about 50 30O 1900. The
Secretary has ordered that this
amount shall be replaced by silver dol
lars, to be paid out in the current
course Of business. This will be done
through the various ub.Treasuries.
This is the beginning of the payments
Of silver on currency obligations, and
1t may be that the Secretary will devise
other means for paying out silver. But
The question wac asked, Why is not sill
YER paid out the same 10 gold In the re-
demption OF interest coupons? The
answer is, There hes not been silver
enough for this purpose, but It will De
paid out 10 any one who will take 1t Ia
stead of gold. How about the pur.
chase Of silver bullion with silver dol.
lars? The trouble about that has been
that the owners of bullion were not
willing to accept payment In silver dol
lars until they obtain silver certificates
Of large denominations. They could
not manage the coin dollars themselves,
but 1t has not been possible 10 give
bulllon.holders these certificates, as
they have not been prepared. The
Engraving Bureau has been at
work ever since the law was
passed. The $40 certificates ere now
ready, but bullion.helders wish those
Of the denomination o f$l,000. The en-.
craving Of these larger certificates will
be finished In q day or two, and the
printing will probably begin next
