Accordion to the views of the Wall Street Journal, cnugiosH -thou hi have passed a bill annuitizing thu ro coinage of the Htaudard-silver dollars, or such portions of them as might be noci'smiry, Into subsidiary silver col iih. The country can get along with fewer silver dollam. It needs more subsidiary silver coins. Not only did congress fail to do this, but it failed to make an appro prlation for any purchase of ellver for the ooiuage of subsidiary money. ThlH will necessitate a reduction of the force of the Philadelphia mint; but Mint Director Huberts says that there will be HufUoiout -uibsidlaty coin to Biipply all needs between now and next December, when tho next congress meets. There Ih now in the treasury over 81U,000,000 of Biibsid lary coins, and thorn in 5,000,000 ouuoeH of silver available for sunsid lary ooIijh. Moreover, the attorney general has held that under tho pres ent law tho directors of the mint can purchaso silver bullion in the open market for subiudiary coinage; but the director das uo idea that he will have to do thlH. If the secretary of the treasury had authority to use the standard silver dollars for conversion Into subsidiary nilver, two great ouds would bu served- 'first, there would be a reduction in the outstanding silver dollars, aud second, there would be an increase iu subsidiary coins. Secretary Shaw Hald iu his last annual repert: "No provision now exists for the rooolnago of standard silver dollars, which, by natural wear, have become unlit for circulation. Many such dollars arc now in the treasury. They cuuot bu iuooinod into dollars with out loss. Ah tho subsidiary coins are of lighter proportionate weight than the standard silver dollars, those abradod aud uiicurrent coiue might be recoined into subsidiary sliver coin without loss. The small contraction Ih the circlulatioii of dollars would bo olfsot by the in crease iu Hiilisidlary coin, and the new result of thu operation would leave tho total circulation un changed."
