Secretary Carlisle for some time has been consd-

except that of subsidiary coins. and since he has
been at the head of the Treasury Department
only 1882 1924 standard silver dollars have been mint
ed Since July only ninety standard silver dollars
have been coined. The coinage of standard silver
dollars the last few years has been follows: 1885,
1894 $685. 1898 $4,000; 1892 $3.50 900; 1891
81 10000 The total coinage of silver under all
acts amounts to A23, 2S9,309. The Treasury now
