Silver Men Claim to Have Found a
Way to Dispose of Their Silver
Washin gton. Dec. 13.-An old law has
been discovered on the statute book
by the free silver men, which they de-
clare gives them ground to hope thai
they can bring about free coinage of
silver in an indirect way through the
use Of Mexican dollars. The law was
passed in 1857 and is Section 1867 of the
revised statutes. 1t is as follows:
Pieces commonly known as a quarter,
eighth and sixteenth OF the Spanisl
dollar and of the Mexican dollar, shal.
be receivable at the treasury OF tn,
United States and its several offices,
and its several postoffices and land
offices, at rates of valuation as follows
One-fourth Of dollar, or pice of two
reals, at twenty cents; the eighth oi
dollar, or piece of one real, at ten
cents, and the sixteenth of dollar OF
half real. at five cents.
The section following provides that
the coins shall not be re-issued from
the treasury. but shall be re-coined
into United States coins. The law has
never been repealed, and the silver
men in congress assert that 1t is pos;
sible to send the metal to Mexico for
coinage, re-import 1t into the United
States. and present It at the treasury
They assert that the validity OF the law
is beyond question.
