Silver at S129 Silver at so cents
an ounce. Seigniorage. What is it all
about?
The most confusing thing about
the silver problem in its present i'm
portant but complicated status is the
variety of prices attached to the
metal.
Silver as commodity. or in bull
lion, is now valued on the worlds
markets at about so cents an ounce.
The Government is paying that for
the metal it is buying through ma
tionalization and otherwise. with one
exception. It is paying 64ll2 cents an
ounce for newly mined domestic
silver.
BY law, however, silver Is valued
at S129 an ounce. Therefore, when
the Government buys silver for SO OF
64R cents an ounce, 1t Immediately
places a monetary value on it OF
s1.29. The difference is known as
seignorage, or a profit that accrues
to the Government.
Silver Purchase Authorized.
Under the silver law passed at the
last session Of Congress, the Treasury
was authorized to buy great quanti-
ties of silver, with a view ultimately
to having the monetary system one
dollar backed by silver for every three
backed by gold.
The law further required the
Treasury to issue silver currency
against the silver purchased up to
the total of its cost, and gave 1t dis
cretion to use all of the purchases to
back new money.
