HOPES OF sILvERITEs RAISED.
An Old, Forgotten Law Discovered
on the Statute Books.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-An old law has
been discovered on the statute books by
free silver men in Congress which, they de-
clare, gives them ground to hope that they
bring about the coinage of silver in
indirect way through the use of Mexican
dollars. The law was passed in 1857, and
is Section 1857 of the Revised Statutes. 1t
follows:
''The pieces commonly known as the quar-
ter, eighth and sixteenth of the Spanish dol
lar and the Mexican dollar shall be
ceivable at the treasury of the United
States and at its several offices and at the
several postoffices and land offices at. the
dollar, or p-ece of two rea.s, at 20 cents;
the eighth of a dollar. or p-ece of one real.
at ~ cents, and the sixteenth OF a dollar, or
half real. at cents
The section following provides that these
coins shall not be reissued from the treas
ury, but shall be recoined into United States
coins. The law has never been repealed,
and the silver men assert that it is
possible to send the metal to Mexico for
coinage, reimport it into the United States
and present it to the treasury. They assert
that the validity of the law is beyond ques,;

be said to have begun when he was elected
