therefore, silver in the form Of
bullion, and as there is never any
large amount Of this metal carried
in stock as bullion, the question is
practically limited to the annual
production. Ii we assume that
annual production will rise again

Hence the loss, Including loss in
weight of coins, and cost of sending
coins here, would be not less than
4 per cent. on European coins, and
8 per cent. on Indian rupees. In
stead, therefore, of merchants
sending foreign silver coins here,
il we had free coinage, any one
having such coins in this country
would make a saving by sending
them home rather than taking
them TO our mint to be melted into
bullion. Moreover, it would be
simply impossible to withdraw
those coins from tho circulation of
the countries where they are nov
in use as the circulating mcdIum.
