Now let me say one other word for fear somebody will state that this silver exportationwas the export oftradedollars. I heard sonething the other day about the coinage of silver for export. The tradedollars were coined for the express purpose of the Asiatic trade. but of the $57.307.055 of silver that has gone abroad. either in the shape of coin or bullion. during the period stated. only $1.744.873 was its tradedollars. I l:ave another table which I commend to the attention of the Senators who predicted such disasters on the passage of the silver bill.. I fid that after its passage the export from March 1 to June 30. 1878. four months. was of gold $1.932.343. and of silver .9.325.675.and that year the importation of silver was over four times that of gold.
