OUR SILVER DOLLAR.
Tho Percentage of Alloy In Our Standard

Tho Percentage of Alloy In Our Standard
Coins.
The weight of pure silver in our
silver dollar has never been decreased
particle; it always has contained
three hundred and seventy-one and
one quarter grains of pure silver. In
1887, in order to adopt the handy
French decimal system Of alloy. we
put exactly one pound less copper in
two thousand dollars. Thus. when you
hear anyone speak of the debasement
of the United States silver dollar, re-
member that all we have to ask Tor
giveness for is this trifle, which is al
lowed by the constitution of the United
States The sin of debasement, if one
can call it a debasement, was commit
ted in 1884 on our gold coins, bv reduc-
ing them about six and one-quarter per
cent. Had they reduced the gold coin
only half as much it would have been
an act strongly Endorsed to-day, but
now unw;se to adopt. In 1887. q min
ute fraction of gold was added to the
weight of the coin for convenience in
mint calculations. These two, the
gold dollar of twenty-five and eight
tenths and the silver dollar of Ala 5
grains of standard metal, meaning
that each thousand parts Of coin were
alleged with one hundred parts of cop
per, were the basis dollars on which
the government was conducted from
1887 to 1873. The issue of greenbacks
did not disturb these coined dollars.
These were the legal coins our laws
referred to in the issue of all national
bonds sold during our war of secession.
These were the coined dollars which
we promised to pay in the redemption
of our green backs In 1859. in an act
passed to strengthen our public credit,
we find this clause: 1.-THE United
States solemnly pledges its faith to

ticable period for the redemption oil

ing these silver dollars, TO limited
extent, all through the war, although
the silver in them was worth nearly
four per cent more than the gold in
the gold dollar. In 1S71-73 we coined
more than two and half millions OF
these silver dollars, each Of which con-
siderably exceeded the gold dollar in
value. John A. Grier, in LippincottA
