loads" of dead dollars TO remain in their
unhonored seDulchre.
This provision struck Representative
Hill as impolitic, inconsistent, poor
finance and as affording the Secretary
OF the Treasury an unwarranted and
dangerous power. Senator Aldrich has
expressed himself as seeing no danger
from the latter cause. and gave as his
reason for the form of his amendment
the belief that IL would be a difficult
matter to secure at this late date IN
depar <ure as the recoinage Of the silver
dollars.
That there is. however. a real danger
in the proposed plan has been pointed
out by d high Treasury official. He
uses an illustration. The subsidiary
coins are by law, redeemable in gold
Suppose. for instance. that an officer OF
the American Smelling Company, which
aims TO control the silver production OF
the country, should in the course OF po-
lltical events. become Secretary Of the
Treasury, and suppose, in addition, that
he were a dishonest man. Suppose, once
more that the needs of the country de-
manded an issue of S150.000,000, and the
$50 600 AS soon as the smelter company
received Information of the overissue IL
could corner and present the $4,000 600
extra coinage. and redeem II for gold.
BY this plan a vast amount OF silver
could be exchanged for gold in tho
course OF one Administration.
A mere coincidence, perhaps. with the
presentation of this amendment at this
time IS the presence in sown Of repre-
sentatives Of the American Smelter
Company.
