By the act of Aprll 17, 1871, hie was suthorlzed to fsauc such silver coln'in redemption of au equal swount of fracttonal currency, whether the same was then fn tho treasury awaiting redemption, or whenever it might be presented for redemption.

Inregard to an fasue of fractlonal currency, it wan also quite clear that, frum the nnmber af pleces in uae, such losses would be proportionately reater than an lewne of bills of larger lmum&-. While 1t 1s, perlinps. not & ¥afu nwda of cunatra- ing w1 act to refor to the debates of tha Leglslature which precoded, It is Important In this connection to ubserve that this foct In regard to tho destruc- tion of paper muney by use was well known and undoratood, and was a aubject of discussion in Congresa 1 connection with the biil for which the resolution in quextion was afterwards substituted, It was proposed o the lHouso of tgp- resentatives that, in additlon ta the awount of subeldiary coin l\lnhnilxcd by luw (o bo fssued in redeinption of fractlonal cur- rency, it sbould be lawful to manufacture ot the soveral minta and fssue throngh the Trensury In ita reveral ofticos a further amount of $:20, 000, 000, and thus bill was pussed by the House, 1o thie dis- cimnfon upon it, it wus dontended upon the one sido that this would ot more than replaca tho amount of fractlonulcusrency which had been worn out ur destroyed, and which would neyer be pros sonted for redemption. Upon the other side, while It was wilmliied that s considorable portlon o fractional corroncy had thus been destroyed, was contended that tho amount * was much less than $20,000, 000, 'T'he importance of this in reference ta the qication under cunxhicration §s only that the fuct that a lurge amount of paper cayrency Js neces- rarlly desiroyed by ui was ane which was fully considered by Congresa In its debafes.
