MutiIated Silver.

There is growing dislike to the reception of silver coins in which holes have been drill ed. They have become so numerous that the banks and railroads decline to take them. They will not be received at the postoffice. The newspaper offices have so many offered that they also have to decline them. There is but one way to get rid of them and put a stop to their circulation and their further mutilation, and that is for general refusal of all merchants, of everyone, to decline them. If this plan is carried out they will soon disappear from circulation.
