F, Fuescit, Acting Sceretary, } THIS CIRCULAR SAYS, in effect, that tho Western people who made such an earnest effort to obtain aller cértlti- entes asa means of exchange shalt no louger have then. The reason assigned fs that tho ‘Treasury has not silver dollars snough left to hold against any further certificates that may be Issticd upon deposits of gold coin. Asalstant and Acting‘Secretary French does notsee a remedy In requiring additonal coinage of silver dollirs to the masximunz of $4,000,000, but rescinds the order authorizing the exchange of guld for silver certificates. ‘he ‘Treasury which has always been consistently perststently, and aggressively hostile to bi- metallism, takes this opportunity to further erlpple the silver dollar, ‘The coinage of the mint is reduced to the minimum, and has been for more than 9 year, There romains but $215,000 sitver in the Treasury which can be used against silver certificates in ox- change for gold coin, and, INSTEAD OF COINING MONE SILVER, In order that the people can have the benefit of a very convenient means of exchange, the minitnum of coinage is to be maintained, and the currency, If not contracted, fs not to be permitted to hnve added to ft any more sliver certiticntes, THE REVORT OF UNITED-STATES-TREASURER GILFILLAN, completed today, gives some new informa- tion as to the status of the silver dollar in the Treasury, and the extent of its circula- tion among the people. ‘As earnestly as he was opposed to the silver dollar at the out- sot, he Is now compelled to say the silver dollars have been beneficial. in September, 18s), when the order for the exchange of gold dollars for silver certificntes was issued, the amount of silver dollars in the Treasury was $47,784,744, and the amount of silver certificates outstanding $18,521,000, Another year later, under the operations of the ex- change circular (which was only obtalned after tho most porsistenf-hammering fron: the West), the amount of silver dollars in. the Treasury had increased to $05,040,270, of which $64,149,010 was MELD AGAINST SILVER CERTIFICATES that were Issued Lor gold. The amount of silver certificates outstanding on Noy. 1, this year, lad lucrensed to $00,327,070, against which the ‘Treasury held standard silver dol- Jars of a corresponding amount, with a sur- plus of only $343,000, ‘There. were, in addl- tion, in the Treasury on Nov. 1, and not a partof this fund, silver certificates to the amount of $7,453,900, and the demand for exchange of silver certiticates for gold is continuous, On this subject Mr. Gilfillan says: “This Increase of coin was largely due to the sale for gold coin In New York, -under the clreular of Sept, 18, 1880, of ex- chrngeon the West and South payablein silver certificates.
