Rlast from the New Work Times
Against the Issue of the standard
silver HeNIEnr.

REV York. Sept: 4.-The Times says that as a
last device FOR getting rid of the steadily accu-
R1llating stock of silver dollars, Secretary
Sherman has resolved to pay them out Of the
treasury, It's sub-oftices OR designated banks
throughout the country. In exchange for cur
rency deposits of not less than $1,000 nor more
than 100000. Resumption In silver will thus be-
attempted four months before the date fixed for
recesVing United States notes in coin. 1t is
difficult to see what ground there is for the
belief entertained at the treasury that silver
dollars Will not be used for the payment of GUS
toms about as fast as issued. On the ground of
convenience nobody wants silver dollars. The
interest va ue is less than eighty nine cents and
long as there remains the smallest fraction o a
premium Oh gold there will be profit enough in
buying up ladge amounts Of standard dollars.
L is doG btless proper that all needful facilities
for the circulation of the silver dollars should
be- furnished In advance of the time when it is
supposed to use 1t interconvertby with gold.
1t will take great deal Of practical denonstra;;
n easure of the swinde paImed off on it by the
supporters Of the silver bill. and its better
with fifty millions of silver on hand.
