into circulation have failed, and no sooner does the
Government pay out silver than it comes back into
the Treasury for duties, or 10 exchange Tor silver
certificates. OF the 63 100000 Of standard silver
dollars coined. only 100000 are in circulation.
The mipts are turning out about S2,3O0,OOO each
month.
