Burchard, Director of tho Mint, is a pronounced bimetal- Het, and bas ulways beon regurded as one of tho most prouounced advocates’ of the double Standard, It may posalbiy eurprige some, therc- fore, to know that, in his annual roport, which Js Just completed, he suggests that the colnuge of tho standard silver dollar cannot bo contin- uod without serious ebarrassmont, yoless othor commercial notions will grec Upon the general neo of sliver as well as gold, and ho thinks, in caso an international double standard sbull bo agteed upon, it will bo based upon tho present exchangeable value ‘gold and wlivor of 15% to], jn which caso the coinage of silver as woll as gold would bo freq at all tho miata of the world, and tho presont standard sll- ver dollars would of pecossity be withdrawn and be recoined, For that reason be ruse that tho ‘urthor goluage of silver doliuradf. the present eight, unless seeded for clroulation, is USELESS EXPENDITURE, Before the closp of thiv flswal year the olrculas Uon of the United States will: amount to $20,000,000 of tho denomination of §1 } fisent and less, which, bo thinks, will be quite amplo for our needs, Tho proposition to ut feast temporarily suspend the colnnge of tho allver dollar {sone which fs supported by othor prominont bimetaliists besides Director Hur- chard.

Judge Kelly, another bi- Inctaliist, 14 also quoted as favoring at least tho temporary suepeusion of the colinge of the ile ver dollur, The foltow!ig are the principal comments fo Burchard’s report upou the silver stqucstions SILVER PUNCITASES, ‘ At the commencement of the just fiseal yenr there were on band in the colntge mints and New York assay oitlee 6,403,08 ounces of stand- ard allver’butlion, worth ut its coinage value SH25,013, Notwithetanding the regular monthly Colne of 290000 and upwanis of allvar dole dire, the purchares and deposits: had snore the allver bullion on band Jan, 1, JeKT, te UJ standard ounces, the cost of whic wis 87, 145.4 and fs cotnage value 81,025,517.

In view, however, of the failure of tho conference to agreo upon uny practical mexsure, aud while awaiting its future action, it is a question for our seriuus ood carly. consideration whether it {8 not desirable to suupeud the furthor coinayo | of altver until, by international agreement and effective logistation, the walimited coinage of silver and gold at a comnion fixed ratio shall bave beon-authorized by the principal commor- elu) nations of Hurope and America.

With diat dan- ger monucing 08 we expnot without serious em- barrasement rontinue such coinage unloss other commercial mitions will ugree upon the general coinage of silver aswel as gold, But should such fntornutional agreement be secured, neithor our ratto of comparativo valuation nor ‘ong based upon the present oxchangeablo value of gold aud silver will probably be adopted.
