been agreed 10. but on the 10Th the Joint com
mittees did agree upon the purchase OF 4,oOO-

bend the enormous difference between that
measure and the coinage Of Si,50O,OOO IN
silver each month. Many persons in this coun-
try are led into error i'll the same way. But
the very essence and peculiar merit OF the

the country to 90 to a silver basis Of values.

" valued coins have been the only source of
danger for except through their use there is
no way of getting silver basis Of value.
The coins thus far made, and the certificates
issued against them, have passed up to this
