a practical silver mono-metallism through
the opening of the miatS to unlimited

proposed dollar would he available for
export, the Tribune replies: 1T would
not be necessary TO export the coin while
unCoined gold could be. procured, which
would be just as available. If. at any
time, it became necessary to separate
the gold from the silver il could be done
at the United States mint at a cost of
less than l per cent. This very cost
