THE NEW SILVER LAW.

May and May Not DO Under the Law

It's Operations Explained by Director Of
the Mint Leach What the Governments
May and May Not DO Under the Law
WASHINGTON, Aus. 26.-Director OF
the Mint Leach says there seems to be
general misapprehension as to the
operations of the new Silver law in
case the price OF silver should advance
to parity with gold 1t has been stated.
he says, ''that in such case the Govern
ment will cease buying; while others
hold that we will then have free coin
age. If silver should reach its old
parity the Government would conCinue
to buy 100000 ounces month Tor 50
much thereof as might be offered) under
the provisions of the present law. The
new law does not provide that purchases
shall cease when silver reaches parity
but the Government shall not pay more
than 81 for 3714 grains Of silver, or
what is the same thing, shall not
pay more than S1.2929 per
fine ounce The amount Of pure
371H grains, if the Government paid
81. 1929 per fine ounce 400 grainsl it
would be paying exactly 81 for 371H
grains, that is to say, the market value
of the pure silver in tho silver dollar
would be exactly equal to the face
value of the coin, so that the Govern
ment could lose nothing by continuing
to buy at that rate, which the law con-
templates. While this would not Id
| free coinage-and in the absence OF
further legislation, there is no provi-
sion for free coinage-it would be prac-
tically free coinage for a, 500, 600 ounces
of silver month; that is, We would re-
ceive from depositors 4,500, 900 ounces
of silver, and give them for it the exact
amount of money which 4, 500, 600 ounces
would make in coin. of course the
Government could not pay in excess Of
| that rate, because if it did the value Of
the silver in the silver dollar would be
greater than its value as coin, which
would be losing operation"
