is 20 hope of relief except through bhnct-

NOTES on THE CAMPAIGN.

"A The Post takes occasion here to answc
l. several questions recently propounded.
The decentralization OF silver In 1873 wa
| effected By the passage OF the act IRE
: vising and amending the Laws relative t
d the mints assay offices and coinage o
the United States" The mischief wn.
v done 10y dropping the standard dollar OF
iieis grains from the list OF silver coins
and prohibiting the issue from tho mini
4 of any coins other than those described
in the list. UntIl that time any one could
, bring silver to the mint and. when of
standard OF flneness. have Il coined free
OF charge into dollars of il2is grains.
Coinage OF such dollars ceased absolutely
on the passage of the act of February II,
1873.
BY that act the legal tender of the sd
! yer coins enumerated In 1t was restricted
TO sums not exceeding s. in any one pay
n,ent II did mt take away the legal ten
der power Of silver dollars already coined
but by an act OF June, 1874. giving effect
to revisipn of the general statutes. the
legal tender OF all silver coin was restrict
ed to an amount no, exceeding 81 in any
one payment.
The original mint act of 1892 made the
silver dollar the unit" on which the
value of all the ccins. whether of gold or
silver. was based The revised mint acts
of 1873 made the gold dollar 1.-The unit of
