Mint Act of 1873, i essential to
the prosperity OF t. country and
paramount to a. frlos political
considerations The legislation
which robbed silver Of its money
functions and denied to the owner
Of silver bullion the right to have
the same coined into money upon
the some terms and conditions
which apply to the coinage Of gold.
reduced the money Of ultimate re-
demption or payment, about one
half, and enabled the owners OF
money and obligations payable In

the commercial world.
