Turned Out of the Mint.
Secretary Carlisle made a statement
Onc rning the coinage Of silver dol
lars unde.' this administration, the
coinage being under the uni epealed
portion of the Sherman act. 1t shows
that since the administration came in
to y wer $l,0yi,2.3 standard silver
dollars have been coined, of which
$50, 90 have been seigniorage. TIE
Secretary says:
While tue law provides that redeemed
treasury notes may be reissued. it also i'm
poses an express limitation upon the power
10 reissue by declaring that "nO greater or
1855 amount OF such notes shall be out
standing ut any time than the cost OF the
silver tn lion and the standard silver dol
lars coined thcrefrom then held In the
treasury purchased by such notes."
When such notes are redeemed In gold
there Is no obstacle In the way OF their re-
issue. because such redemption does not
affect the stock OF silver held in the treas
ury under the act OF July 4. 1890. but when
they are redeemed with silver coined from
the bullion purchased under that act, they
must be retired and cancelled. for other
wise there would be, after the ptiOn
and reissue, q greater amount OF notes
outstanding than the cost Of the silver
originally purchased and then held In the
treasury, anu this IS expressly pronlplteu
by the statute. Tue purpose Of Congress
was TO prevent the duplication OF the cur
rcncy, which would be the case If the
notes aud silver purchased with the notes
could be outstanding at the same time.
Treasury notes received in the ordinary
course of business. or redeemed In gold or
EXCHANGED for silver dollars not coined
from bullion, purchased under the act OF
July II. 1870. are not retired and cancelled.
All such notes are reissued. Prior to the
last day Of July. 1891, silver dollars to the
amount of S3G. 31S. 2G4 we're coined from the
bullion purchased under that act. The So
