Treasury Department Decides on
the Coming Of Silver Dollars
to Relieve the Mlnts.

WASHINGTON, Nou. 8, 1898. Important
action was taken by the Treasury De-
partment today in regard TO silver.
ORDERS were sent to the Superintendent
of the United States minis at San Fran
cisco and New Orleans to resume the
coinage suspended some time ago Of
standard silver dollars. This action is
taken udder authority of Section of
the Sherman la W of 1890. which is as fol-
lows:-
THAT the Secretary of the Treasury
shall each mouth coin two million ounces
of the silver bullion purchased under the
provisions OF this act into standard sill
yer dollars until the first day of July,
1891. and after that time he shall
coin of the silver bullion purchase
under the provisions of this act as much
as may be necessary to provide for the
redemption of the Treasury notes herein
provided for, and any gain or seigntorage
arising from such coinage shall oe ac-
counted for and paid into the Treasury"
Ii is for the purpose of utilizing the
seiguiorage that the coinage of standard
silver dollars is resumed. The exDec-
tation is that about Sl,500000 standard
silver dollars can be coined at once
which will give the United States
Treasury a seigniorage OF about $780, 600,
in other words the seignioraGe bears the
proportion of one-third to the amount of
silver coined. II is the intention Of the
Treasury Department, as the other mints
become clear OF gold coinage, to have
them also coin silver and thus increase
the coinage from 3,500.O00 to 1000. 600 Of
dollars per month.
