Under the law of July ID, 1890, the
secretary of the treasury has purchased
since Aug. 13. during the fiscal year 49,
393,l ounces of silver bullion at an
average cost of $1.045 per ounce. The
highest price paid during the year was
$1.2025, and the lowest 50. 9636. In eS-
change for this silver bullion there have
been issued $50, ,499 of the treasury
notes authorized by the act.
The surplus on March /, 1889, was
$183, ,ss7, ,190.s9. The policy of applying
this surplus to the redemption Of Che
interest-bearing securities of the United
States was thought to be preferable to
that of depositing it without interest in
selected national banks. There have
been redeemed since the date last men,
toned of interest bearing securities
$3.50, ,670,350, resulting in a reduction Of
the annual interest charge of $11, 1884, :

amount equal to the school tax upon the
property of each Indian father. The
