the Sherman act and covered by treasury
notes now in the hands of the people.
Instead of being a 'seigniOrage'' or a
profit, this bullion represents a considerable
loss TO the government. The government
has paid an average of 81 cents an ounce
for the bar silver now in the treasury,
upon which nearly $153, 100000 Of treasury
notes are in circulation. The present price
OF silver is 59.5 cents per ounce. So far.
then, from an estimated profit or 'seig-
niorage" of s55,Oo0000 which is assumed in
the Bland bill the government would sus-
tain an actual loss of upward of Si6,00O09O
if the bill should become law. Could there
be a more gross abuse of language than to
call this a "seigniorage' or a more pal
pable financial swindle than to capitalize
this silver vacuum and issue upon IL $50

and deceptive character of the measure
sufficiently condemns il without regard TO
the mischievous consequences which ii
threatens to the public credit.
