Coinin. Silver Dollars.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please state
whether or not the United States MINIS are
coming any silver at present, and are they
buying any bullion. To settle a dispute.
Yours in F., C. and L.-GEo. M. WILSON,
Kellogg, Kan.
THE following letter from the Secretary
of the Treasury answers our correspondents
observation-disclosures NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF
THE SECRETARY,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 3, 1896. }
Mr.. o. o. STEALEY, Washington, ID. G.
by DEAR SIR: In response to the gues-
tions contained in the letter from Mr.. Ford
to you, and which you have referred to he,
/ have the honor TO say that during the
present year-that is, from Jan. /, 1896, to
Sept. 80, 1S96-standard silver dollars have
been coined at the minis OF the United States
to the amount of Sl3,912512. Since Nov. l,
1893, the date OF the repeal OF the purchasing
clause OF the sO-calied Sherman act, stan0ard
silver dollars have been coined in the United
States to the amount OF ST 1863, 491, or more
than twice as much as was coined during The
whole period OF our history prior to 1878.
The coinage Of standard silver dollars is
going on every day at our mints, and during
the last month it amounted to 81 700, 900.
About the same amount will be coined dur
ing tie present month. The seigniorage, or
gain, which has been added to the circnla-
ton on account of the coinage since Nov. /,
1893, is about So, 700, 600, and the seigniorage,
or gain in the coinage of last month was
about 5000 coo.
The coinage is being done under author
ity conferred upon the Secretary of the
l. Al. a., .rl - q, ~
July ID, 1890, commonly called the Sherman
act, which provides: That the Secretary OF
the Treasury shall each month coin 100000
ounces of the silver bullion purchased under
the provisions of this act into standard sill
yer dollars, until the LIST day of July 1891
and after that time he shall coin of the sill
yer bullion purchased under the provisions
of this act as much as may be necessary to
provide for the redemption Of the Treasury
notes herein provided for, and any gain OF
seigniorage arising from such coinage shall
be accounted for and pad into the Treasury
This law is still in force, no part of the
act having been repealed except the clause
which directed the Secretary of the Treasury
to continue the purchase Of silver bullion
and issue Treasury notes in payment for it,
and tie coinage is being made from the
bullion belonging to the Government pur-
chased before the repeal OF that clause. The
silver dollars coined, other than the seignior-
age, are held in the Treasury under the law
for the redemption of athe Treasury notes
issued in payment for the bullion; and since
Aug /, 1893, these notes have been redeemed
in silver to the amount of $31 ,126, 1872, and
the notes have been retired and cancelled,
the silver dollars taking their places in the
circulation. Prior to August, 1893, none OF
these notes had been redeemed in silver OF
retired. Very truly yours. g. CAR

Accomplished situation.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The politi.
cal situation in this State is rather com
plicated. The Republicans and Popullsts
have united on candidates for State officers
below Governor, and the fusion on Legisla.
tive nominees will result in a Republican
Populist Legislature, which will mean the
return of Senator Pritchard to the United
States Senate, for it will be remembered that
he was only elected by the Fusion Legisla.
ture of '94 to fill out the unexpred term OF
the late Senator Vance, which will expire
the 4th of March next.
The Democrats and Populists, on the other
hand, have fused on Presidential Electors.
Five Democratic Electors are for Bryan and
Sewall, five Populist Electors for Bryan and
Watson, and one "Silver" Elector for Bryan
and Sewall This will make it doubtful as
to who secures the electoral vote of the
State, Bryan or Mckinley. Had there been
three separate electoral tickets in the field
Mckinley would have secured the State 10y
handsome majority. As it is the State is
yet doubtful, and in the coming landslide
to Mex nley it will furnish surprise. The
free silver sentiment is not as unlimited III
North Carolina as the Bryanites would have
it appear.
The Republican party in this State was
never before so well organized or enthusl'
astic. Strong Republican clubs abound IN
every city and hamlet in the State, while
Democratic clubs are rather scarcity.
Notable among the Republican electors are
Hon. E. Douglass Carter, our elector IN this
the Ninth District, and Hon. III. A. Gudger
also from this district, but one of the electors
for the State-at-large. They are gentlemen
known throughout this and adjoining States
for their courage and ability, and they are
striking some telling blows for Republican,
ism.
Senator Pritchard, who has spoken already
in most of the principal towns of the State
has been greeted everywhere with the warm
est receptions ever accorded a Republican in
North Carolina. The people know that he
is in sympathy with them and stands fol
their interests. Old Union soldiers will be
glad to know that we will re-elect our Con-
gresham from tins district, Richmond Pear
son. by good majority. Mr.. Pearson proved
himself the friend of the old soldier in the
last session of Congress, as did Senator
Pritchard.
Old soldiers down here are unit practi-
cally in their support of Comrade Mckinley
and hundred-cent dollar.
May they once more stand shoulder to
shoulder the country over for the prosperity
of the Government and the honor of the flag

ON CHANCE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at Home
and Abroad

NEW YORK. June l9.-The local stock
speculation again today followed the in
itiative OF London. Gables from that CEN
ter were higher and purchases were made
also In this market to a moderate extent.
The amount of business was smaller than
on Thursday and only a few of the leading
stocks were conspicuous in point of activ
ity The initial gains were more pro-
nounced on specialties. Sugar gained !
per cent. The extreme weakness which
followed marked advances were not sus-
tained. owing to realizations. The general
market ruled without special feature and
the early showing Of strength was sue
ceeded by reactionary movement around
midday which caused recessions below yes
terday's final sales. This condition ruled
only temporarily as values later gradually
appreciated to near the previous highest
points. Railway bonds were quiet and
without special feature except In break
of 2M in Brooklyn Elevated frsts and per
cent on Oregon Improvement consol fives.
The general tone was firm and some slight
gains were scored in the more active specu-
lative issues. The sales were s1.0l0000
Governments were irregular but the mar
ket closed fairly steady on dealings of $l2-
900.

in London, which seems thus far TO have
had the American market to itself. On
Friday not only did the London market
for all American stock show renewal of
the advance, but further foreign buying
gave renewed confidence to the local bulls.
