When the Silver Dollar Was a Rare
Coin.


Written r,Ire.,ly fer The Washington HeIaId)
by DIR. f. }. EDWARDS.
"Shortely before the resumption of
specie payments on January /. 1879
which. ] think. was the most brill
liant achievement of John Sherman
during his service as secretary of the
Treasury. ] Rad very pleasant con-
versation with him in the course of

| might have known that his experience
was the same as my own"
This remark was made to me by the
late George $. Coe. who was for many
years president of one of the lead
ing banks of New York. 1t was in
the directors room of Mr.. Goes bank
that Salmon Il. Chase. when secretary
of the Treasury in Lincoln's adminis-
tration. met presidents of New York
Boston and Philadelphia banks fos the
purpose of persuading them to lend
him s50.0O0.000 in gold and to take
as security government bonds. That
was the first gold loan made to the
government after the civil war be-
gan. MIR. Coe. by reason of his prom
tained the confidence of the leading
men in public affairs in Congress. and
in various administrations in WASH
ington. He was an intimate. personal al
well as business. friend of all the secre-
taries of the Treasury from the time of
Salmon L. Chase until the second admin
istration of President Cleveland.
Il was speaking to Senator Sher-
man." said Mr.. Coe. about the eX-
citing debate in Congress respecting
the coinage of the silver dollar. This
debate. you may remember. led to
Legislation which authorized the coin
age of the so-called trade dollar. and
also the Bland silver dollar. The
trade dollar had more silver in 1T
than the Bland dollar. but it did not
have the legal tender quality, so that
ii was very difficult to force II into
I believe ii was coined
chiefly to facilitate our trade with
in the Far East. where silver
was established.
Senator sherman told me that when
the agitation began in Congress for
the coinage of The silver dollar IL
suddenly occurred TO him that he had
never seen n silver dollar. although
they were said to have been coined
some years before the civil war. The
told me that he had good
many business relations which brought
him into familiarity with all kinds of
currency. Sometimes the Mexican or
Spanish dollar. which was the originai.
basis of our currency system. came
into his hands. but he had never seen
a silver dollar of the United States.
Il said 10 the senator In reply thar,
now that he had spoken OF his own
experience. I recalled that in all my
life as a banker. many kinds of cur
rency coming under my observation,
had never seen an American silver ,
dollar until after the trade dollar and
Bland silver dollar were coined. I
presume II will be a surprise to many
persons to know that while fifty cent
pieces and twenty-five cent pieces and
Ten cent pieces and for a good many
years, half dimes. and even silver
three-cent pieces. were coined and In
There were no American
dollars in circulation until after Con-
yress authorized the coinage of the
80 called trade dollar and the Bland
lollar."

Women of Wealth.

There is an application just now OF the story
attributed to both Marie Antoinette and the
Duchess OF Lamballe On the of the French
Revolution. when one of those two ladies heard
the mob outside the palace windows and was told
they were elamoring for bread, she innocently
asked: "Why don't they eat cake"
Many Of the ladies of today exquisite in their
dress, gentle in their manners, sympathetic and
kind, as most OF the royal ladies before the French
Revolution doubtless were, express msundcr-
standing of the poor and of the present economic
situation, just as ludicrous. just as pitiful Incl
dentaliy. they too, show that they are both intel
lectually and morally needy Indeed, there are no
