yer question, and who. of course, thinks there
should be unlimited coinage of the standard dol

ton of the suspension of coinage. remarked to
your correspondent this morning:
II never saw so much gross ignorance on the
part of any set of men as l find entertained by
the new members in my party on the question of
coinage. Here is a little incident although it is
on my side of the question: A colleague,
explaining 20 me how enthusiastic he
was in favor Of continuance of
coinage, said L believe we should coin
the silver dollar in unlimited amounts; just Civ
ing the authorities at the minis power to buy all
the bullion they can get and stamp the dollars
off as fast as they can We will need them
sometime. and they be stored up in tie
vaults. If we haven't got room for them. more
room can be made. There is nothing like having
plenty of money, and metallic money too Sill
yer is good enough for me- and think this talk
about certificates. whatever that may be, is all
rot This is just about the caiibre of the new
