There are only about 60,000,000
standard silver dollars in circulation
and so far it has been impossible to
keep more than that in circulation,
while there is something over S480,-
000,000 of gold in constant circula
tion. The number of standard
silver dollars to-day in circulation
is about 52,000,000. The reason
mat silver circulates in
that silver circulates in the south

that bankers in shipping money for

or tne treasury direct, nave to pay

they continue in circulation just as
long as tney can an tne paper I
