THE CHICAGO 'TRIBUNE: MONZI’)AY. FEBRUARY 4, I878, 6 to insure national prosperity, I am of the :x:-:{dun that a silver da“nr of 425 gralns should be receieable for only one-half of any sum duoe for customs dutles, and tho balance to be pay- alle In gold onls. WIIAT 1S TIE REAL MINTING CAPACITY of the mints! . A.—The Government can coin about 8,000,- o000 siiver dollars monthly In addition to the necessary gold and other colnaga authorized by law. That would be the maximum capacity of tho prescnt mints. It is not practicable to work them mora than ten houras s day. They could not be worked at night on acconnt of the diffieuity of sccuring experts and tho danger to machinery. ‘Ihe mints arc all in comploto order. Then, If Congress should authorize it, the New Orleans mint could bo in nincty days put in order so as to coin 500,000 sflvér dollars monthls, which could bo {ncreased to 1,000,000, ould ho & great point as the entrenot for Mex- ::m eliver, which would tndoubtedly come to the country in large quantities. During the War New Orleans was tlie headquarters for the tmportation of Mexican silver. The capacity of the mints for colnage would be lmited, as abore stated. ‘There would be no ilmitation, however. as to the amount of silver which coutd be put {nto bulllon or stamped mint bars at the aseay offico of the New York and Philadelphla Miots, all of which, if nevessary. could bo de- posited at the Bub-Treasury, and coin certifl- . cates tasued, as they are now fssucd upon gold coln and bullion, DR, LINDERMAN TERR CALLED ATTENTION to the law of 1803, which secms to have hecn entlrelv overlooked by Congressmen, and which, i the interpretation put upon it 'JV Dr. Linderman Is right, ntrcady has alinost the force of the Bland bill. 'The act of March 3, 1883, nauthorizes the Trensury to recelve deposits of gold coin and bullion, and to fssuc ccrtificates therefrom In suins of not lesa than 320 each, these certlficates to bo recelvable at par for dutles. Thu{ may be fssied to not more than 20 per cent of the amount of eofn and bulllon in the Treasurs, Dr. Linderman considers that the Interpretation to be riven to THE WORD ‘‘BULLION " 3 would ollow bullion to be placed fn the 8ab- ‘Treasurlcs now, and_certifivates {ssued, Dr, Linderinan sald: *The word bulllou fn this section {s menerally underatood_to mean gold and sllver in all forins, altiough Boutwell ruled that It only meant coin, One difffeulty in this nct Is that the cortifivates Issued nre redeemable at the New York Bub-Treasury only. Large deposits under this law would be made nt Son Francisco and the Carsont Mint, and, I{ the coln certificates issued are pavable onlyin Now York, the Government would bLe obliged to transfer this amount AT ITS OWN EXPENSE, ‘This Is a point which Is overlooked In somo of the pending amendments fn the 8cnate.”* Dr, Linderman” added: *If Cubgress should re- quire the mints to bo run at their full maxl- mum cnapacity on the ailver dallar for clreula- tion, the toinage of the trade-dollars for the Chinese market wouldnecessarily have to ceasc. ‘This would cause conefdcrablo dissatisfaction to the Pacific Const, as thu commorce with China is rapldly ncreasina." Q—What amount of eilver would probably be recefved under such a billi A.~Far tho first year it is probablo that $35,- 000,000 srould _bo_recelved from ths United States mines, $15,000,000 from Mexlco, 85,000, 000 from Bouth Amerlica, and TROUABLY $13,000,000 PROM RUROT'E, maloly from Germany, The amount to bo re- ceived from Europo might vary greatly, accord- {ng to the action of tho German Government, 1T there should bo an Intcrnational Conference within 8 year, which would result in a common ratlo, it would be very beneflelal, Dr. -Linder- man (hinke that the Resuwmption act should not be repealed, and that, under the colnage of such asliver rlull'nr a8 he proposes, apecle resumption woutd bo voluntary,~—thnt all kinds of lecal- tender money would bo specdily substantlally on & parity. B TIE ONLY POSSIDLE OMJECTION that can be urged agalust a dollar of 425 grains 13, bio says, that, unacr the Fundivg act of 1870, tho Goverument had the option to pay in zold coin, or In allver colns of 4131¢ grains, and that option many desiro that the Government should not lose. "This dollar of 425 graina would be a falr compromise between the valuation which existed at that time, the timo of the Funding Jaw of 1470, and the valuation which exists at vresent. ‘The dotlar_of 425 gralns, at preseut, ... 18 EQUAL To 07}¢ CENTS 1IN aOLD. With such a dollar the three kinds of money will go to o parity at ouce. The majority of tne people sliould acttle tho questlon, and the law upon which they agreo should ho {mmedl- ately executed. ‘Tliero are now $125,000,000 {n the Treasury aud mints of coin and bulllon, for which the law of 1803 outhorizes the {ssuc of ‘om certiticntes and lor 20 per cent more, ANY AMOUNT CAN UE $83UED at that cofnage rate, ‘The option should bo with the Beeretary of the Treasury to pay either incoin or bars. Ile might -not have thic_colu, but ko would always havo tha bars, Danks ought to catablish thiv custom of Lolding some- thing {n bulllon, Dr, Linderman says it would bo violating all principles of finance to drive the two hundred snflllons uf culd out of thu country that are here aud could be uscd, - THE COINAGL OF BUCI A DOLLATL woukl, ho said, Lring that two hundred miltons into use, und would zatisty the peoplo, ‘Thirty. six millions to forty millions of good effective dollara of that surt could bo put n cirealation in a year, besldes an uniimited nunber of coln certitleates, Dr. Linderntan does ot think that lln.-u spcdculnmra could Intertero with o stundard 80 fixed, THE RETURNING BOARD, WELI Anectal Dispatchta Te Cricasn Tridune.
