The Question of an Extra Session Too Far
in the Future for Governor Hogg
to Talk About It
Special TO the Gazette.


SAN ANTONIO, TEN. July 2-The Board
of Trade OF San Antonio recently wrote to
Governor Hogg concerning the enforcement
of law and order, and the desirability of an
extra session to take action on the alien
land law. The following reply was re-
ceived:
feel that nothing but good can result
from my efforts to have the laws enforced.
Intelligent representative men, like COM
pose your Board of Trade, moving
in that direction, will certainly
give encouragement TO those officers
who need it in performing their duties.
Law and order in Texas means constitu-
tional protection of life, liberty and prop
erty. Let this be understood, and refined,
Law abiding. good people from every
quarter will come among US.
l am not prepared 10 express myself on
the subject of the resolution relating to the
alien land law. as the time has not yet
arrived when | can maturely and justly
consider the question of an extra session.

SEIGN0RAGE.

The right of the government to charge
seignorage on the coming of money is an
interesting question.
Seignorage is the charge the governm emf
makes for coming bullion into money. 1t
was originally designed to cover the cost
of coinage, but nearly all governments have
taken advantage of it, so that it has become
q source of revenue.
AT present our government buys silver
at the market price, and then coins about
eighty cents worth of silver into dollar
piece, which really amounts to a charge of
twenty cents seignorage for the coming of
the money. But the coinage does not cost
that much, and if private individuals were
permitted to have their silver bullion
coined into money, they, instead of the gov
eminent, wouli get this twenty cents.
1t was to test the right of the govern
ment to charge this seignorage that two
men, MORSE and MERCK, asked the SUPER
intendent of the mint to coin their silver
bullion into dollars and return it to them
an operation that would have given them
nearly dollar and twenty cents for each
dollars worth of bullion they had. These

that profit as the government has, and that
if they have no such right, then the govern
u1ent has not.
Paper money is practically the same as
coin on which the government has charged
nearly 100 per cent. seignorage. The
pledge that the government will redeem
the paper in coin, and will also redeem the
light weight coins at their face value. is
what causes both paper and debased coins
to circulate as freely as if they were gen
uine full-weight money. And unless they
are issued in excess Of the normal demand
for money, they will not depreciate in
value. Issued in excess, however, they
depreciate, and take the place of
the full weight coins, which will
then be sent abroad. Only the
full-weight coins are exported, as
between nations gold and silver are al
ways sold by weight, and not by the stamp
that happens to be upon them. But the
lightweight money will not displace the
