Linderman at about $35.000.000. I believe. Of this $35.000.000. as well as that mined elsewhere. a large quantity has to be retained in bullion and coined into tradedollars for the Asiatic trade. another considerable proportion goes into the arts. and a great deal necessarily into fractional currency. After all these needs are supplied. if all the silver that remains is coined into silver dollars and put into circulation here. it would not have the effect of expelling the gold. The amount we could annually coin of silver dollars would not be an amount exceeding the natural growth of the business of the country.
