why Silver Dollars Are Still Coined.


The unrepealed part of the silver
purchasing act of 1890 provides that
the treasury notes issued in payment
for silver bullion, when redeemed in
coin, or otherwise received into the
treasury "may be reissued, but no
greater or less amount of such notes
shall be outstanding at any time
than the cost of the silver bullion
and thestandard silver dollars coined
therefrom then held in the treasury
purchased by such notes." When
treasury notes have been redeemed
with silver dollars it has been the
practice of Secretary Carlisle to can
eel the notes. Over $19,000,000 of
the treasury notes have been thus re-
deemed and destroyed.
To get silver coin into use and cir
culation the treasury pays the cost
of carrying it to any part of the
country. This has brought deposits
of treasury notes at the sub
uries, for which silver coin has been
sent wherever desired. Enough of
the bullion in the treasury has been
coined to meet the demand for silver
dollars in exchange for treasury
notes. This operation is a redemp-
ton of paper and a substitution of
silver, dollar for dollar.
