The seignoirage.
How is the seignlorage accumulated?
The seignoilage really Is the charge
made for coinage. Then, as certain
amount OF base metal has 10 be added 10
GOLD and silver 20 make the coins hard
enough for use, the actual charge was
ABOLISHED, knd the difference between
the amount OF precious metal received
and that used was considered as the
seignoirage. Suppose a man brought ES
grains OF gold 10 the mint, he would
receive ten dollars while the mint would
add 1888 gains of silver and copper. and
coin eleven dollars out of the comblna-
ton. When the question OF silver coin-
age came up, q third meaning WAS given
TO the word seigniOrage: IL was taken to
mean the difference between the price
paid for silver bullion, and the number
II silver dollars that could be coined from
IL. Thus man brought Az and one
half grains OF silver TO the treasury mot
to the minu, and received. say seventy
cents for IL. its bullion value; and the
Government credited Itself with one dol
lar, because that was what IL would coin
out OF that amount OF silver. While the
sherman act was in force. requiring the
purchase OF so much silver bullion every
month, the seignoirage accumulated every
time a bullion purchase was made.

DELIBERATE ROBBERY.
A Gang Set TO Work to Plumber
South Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 10.-A Pierre Is. d.
special to the Globe says: Facts have
come into the possession of the State off,
Gals which make them reasonably certain
that Treasurer Taylor ana certain confed-
crates deliberately went to work, after It
became evident that he could not square
his accounts. to "hold the State up" and
compel compromise by which he should
escape from the penalty and his bonds
men should be protected from loss.
The State was in a hard place fnau-
cially. If not cent had been lost there
would have been deficit on the 1st day of
next July of fully 500, 900, due to over
appropriations by the last Legislature and
to the slow payment of taxes on account
of the short crops. How TO extrieate the
commonwealth has been the subject CON-
handing the most earnest thought and
anxiety of the State officials.
The permanent appropriations are so
high that the Legislature, no matter what
economy may animate it, could hardly
bring the expenditures within the
revenues. There were due on the 9Th Of
January $4,000 worth OF funding war
rants held by Eastern parties. There was
due a considerable sum on the coupon
bonds. while the sinking fund was prepar-
ing to take up semi-snnual interest to the
amount of $4,000. The Legislature was
in session and immediate calls would be
made on the treasury for at least $500, 900.
Of course the Treasurer knew all this.
II is believed by the authorities on sub
stantial evidence that realizing that he
would be short 500, 600 when the transfer
was to be made on the Sth, he consulted
some of his friends and hackers, and they
decided the best thing to 10 was to seize
all the money in the treasury and put it in
a place of hiding where it could be gotten
at when desired. Then when the default
was discovered the Stateiwould be found
bankrupt Were it TO sue on the bonds Of
the Treasurer. two years or more would
elapse before any money would be recov-
cred, and during that time the credit of
South Dakota would sink very low. The
parties to the plan concluded rather than
let this come to pass the State officers
would do almost anything within reason.
Then the plan was to come forward
through an agent and propose to pay back
TO the State the $3.50, 600 which The Treas
urer had carried off on condition that the
bondsmen would be released and that
Taylor should be relieved from further
prosecution.
1t is impossible to give the details of the
evidence on which this superstition is
based. but it is regarded as conclusive. 1t
is now known that several people were
aware Of the condition some time before
the defalcation took place.
