The treasurer of the al" road denied that he had
issued any instructions to refuse silver coins that
had merely undergone abrasion In the course Of
circulation and tho coin clerk of the SubTreasury
declared that there no discrimination against

natural wear. If he could not distinguish the
nationality denomination he would not take
