A trembling hand, an uncertain step,

Free Coinage.

A correspondent of the Reno Gaz-
cite asks:
Does free coinage mean the
mints will coin each miners silver in
to dollars and return it to him?
Will not the government be respon-
sible for it and exchange it for gold
or other money if required?
To which the Gazette replies:
" Free coinage means simply the
change of silver bars into dollars at
the request of the owner. Any man
had the right for eighty years to
take his silver bullion to the mints
and have it coined free of charge in
unlimited quantities and the laws
made it legal tender for all debts.
