WHAT 1T WOULD COST.
The Recoinage of all the Subsidiary Silver
and Silver Dollars.
Secretary Carlisle has sent the following
letter to Senator Voorhees,:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
WAsuINGTOS ID C. Aug. 49, 1899

leLteL 10 Senator voorhees,.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 49, 1893.
Hon. DANIEL w. VOORHEES,, United States Senate.
SIR: Referring to our conversation relative TO
the probable cost incident to the change from the
present coinage ratio between gold and silver q TO
Is for standard silver dollars, and to a. for sub
sidiary silver to q ratio of TO 90 you respect
fully Informed that the number of silver dollars
coined since 1878 aggregates AIS, 332,4 50.
Without any allowance for abrasion ana loss
incident to melting the same, the coinage value OF
these dollars at q ratio Of l to 20 would be $685.
222 1872 or 1884, 225 less than their present face
value.
To recon these dollars at a ratio of to 20
new bullion. which at the average price paid for
silver, under the act of July IA, 1890 $685. would
cost s75, SS3. 700
In addition to this I estimate that there would be
n loss from abrasion and in the melting OF these
dollars of at least So 600 COO which amount together
1854 ITO 2SS), would have to be reimbursed to the
Treasury by an appropriation for that purpose
From the fact that the silver dollars are dis
trbuted throughout the country 1t would be neces-
sary, they are redeemed at the several Sub
treasures to transport them TO the Mints, and the
expense of transportation for $500 GOO, the
amount outside of the stock hand at the Sub
treasures and Minis at Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco, and New Orleans would average at least II2
per cent, or 81 500, 900.
therefore estimate the cost of recoinng the sill
yer dollars already coined. as follows:
New bullion to be S156o3 200
Loss by abrasion and melting 5000 GOO
$685.
Conner for ALLOW ... ................. IS 200
TRANSPORTATION of dollars to Mints.... $500 600

The stock of subsidiary silver coin In the country
Is estimated at s77,O0OO0O. which at full weight
would contain 1863 S75 ounces of fine silver This
amount at n ratio OF to 20 would coin S55.S 43,SO2
or SCI l56, 1877 less than the present face value.
To recoin ST. 900 of subsidiary silver into an
equal amount OF fractional coin at ratio OF to 20
would require the addition of Is 1877 625 fine ounces
which at $685. per fine ounce. the average price
paid for silver under the act OF July II, 1850, would
cost ST, 52S,7S5
There would be n loss of about 21% per cent. by
abrasion from the face value, about 81 ,925, COO
would, therefore, estimate the cost of recoinlng
the subsidiary silver in the country, at ratio OF
to 20, as follows:
