He Gives in a Letter to Congressman Hewd His Authority Under the law—Nearly Million Dollars Paid for Treasury Four Note Redemption in Less Than a Year. It bas been charged by republican papes and orators that the demo- cratshave entirely suspended the coinaje of silver. This has been re- se so often that many persons really believe it to be true.

In the meantime my advice to ail would be,never to assume the risk of turning cattle upon second growth on tact with the sorghum umder all the circumstances The third section of the act of Jily 14, 1890, provided that the Seeretary of the Treasury should cin each month into standard silver dllars two million ounces of the diver bullion purchased under the provisions of that act until the first dsy of July, 1891, and thereafter he thould coiu of the silver bullion pur- chased under the provisieus of the tas much as might be necessary to provide for the redemption of the Treasury notes issued in payment for the bullion, and that any gain or wigniorage arising from such coin- ige should be. accounted for and paid into the Treasury. The coinage now going on is done mder the authority conferred by this section of the law and the seign torage derived from it is paid into the Treasury as required by law and used for the ordinary purposes of the Government, but the remainder of the coins are held in the Treasury in order to provide for the redemp- tion of the Treasury notes issued in payment for the bullion.
