One often remarks the number
one dollar bills in circulation, and the
absence of silver dollars which former
ly were so plentiful Our inquisitive re-
porter got to thinking about it the other
day and started out to find out the why
ness Of the dollar bills and the scarcity
of the silver bones. He found out and
is willing TO let the people in on it.
Formerly the government, when a
bank wanted money, sent it TO them
by express paid and they got plenty of
silver in that way, but lately the gov
eminent has shut down on paying the
express on its money and the banks
have to pay it themseles. The express
on thousand dollars in silver amounts
to something like SO, while the same
amount in bills cost only about fifty
cents.
