Mr. John A. Gner, Ihe Yale, Lagle-
wood, 111: - ' '' ' .- :-:
Dear bir : Your favor of September
10th was dulv received, ana l nave
caused a re-examination of the records
of Consres8 concerning the passage of
the act of 1873 to be made, ,
The bill was originally . prepared m
thejtreasury department and was sub
mitted to congress by Secretary Bout-
well on the 25th of April, 18 U. 'Ihe
bill as submitted repealed all laws auth-
orizm? tne tree . coinage vi euver
contained no provissipn for the coinage
of a silver dollar piece of any kind or
dqscription, and the attention of uon-
trresa was called to tms commission in
the report whicn accompaniea jne dui.
On December tne iv, is u, tne oui
was reported to the senate from the
committee on hnance witn several
amendments, but none proposing the
coinage of anv silver dollar piece. It
passed the senate January, y 1871 by a
vote of 36 to 14. No one suggested tey
provi6u for the coinage of a silver
dollar piece of any character or on any
account. This bill went to the house
and was reported fromthe committee
by Mr Kulley, of Pens"ylvania, but no
action being taken upon it before March
1871, it died with the expiration of
the forty first congress. P
The bill was introduced by Jur. Jelly
at the first sessoin of the forty-second
tongressund was reported by him to
the house on March 9, 1871, still having
no provision in it for the coinage of a
silver dollar ..piece. .After some discus
sion the bill was recommitted to the
committee on coinage, from which it
was reported back by Mr. Hooper, on
February 9, 182, with various amend
ments. Among these was one (section
1& authorizine the coinage of a silver
dollar piece of the weight of 334 grains,
just the weight of one dollar In the sub
sidiary coins provided for in the bill.
In reporting the bill to the nouse 5 on
the 9th of April, 1872, Mr. Hooper
said: "Secretion 16 re-enacts the pro?
vision of-' the existing laws defining the
silver coins and their weights respect
ively, except in relation to the silver
dollar, which is reduced in weight from
412 1-2 to 3S4grains;, thus mating it a
subsidiary coin in harmony with the
fcilver coins of less denomination , ta se
cure" ita concuirent circulation with
thetn." ' r-fc:: r-
He fart.Dfhesilver4oT
Iar of 412 .Reason of its
bullion ".v'iujAJereater. than its
normal value, .had long since ceased to
be a coin .of. circulation, a,nd that ihe
convenience of the mauufacturers ol
silverware would be better subserved by
unDlying stamped bars of the same
standard, thus avoiding the expense of
coining it for that purpose., (Congres
sional Globe, p. 2306; vol. 102.)
This was the prst silver dollar piece
incorporated in the bill. That it was to
be a more subsidiary oin to be minted
by the government, is evident not only
from the positive assertion of Mr,
Hooper but it was ' classified with ' the
Subsidiary fractional pieces, and section
2 of the bill expressly declared that "no
deposit for coinage into silver coin shal
be received."
The bill with this subsidiary dollar of
3.84 grains provided for passed the house
May 27, 1872, and on May 29, 1872, was
reported in the senate and referred . to
the committee on finauoe. Nothing
more seems to have been done with it
during that session, but on December -6,
1872, it jvas. reported to the senate by
Mr- Sherman, with amendments, and
on January 7, 1873, additional amend
ments were also reported.
You will find the bill as it came to
the senate with the amendments pro
posed and with memoranda of action
taken upon it while- before that body
printed as part of the speech of Senator
Stewart, made in the senate December
5, 1893, and reported in the Congres-
gr.OTSional Becord, vol. 25, Part, page
29, 53d congress, first session.
It appears that among other amend
ments 'proposed at that time by the
committee on finance there was one
striking put the section providing for
mittee to which Ihe bill was, sent did days before. The coffin was placed be-

the house concured in the' seriate

at any stage of the bill any authority

I was reading Wallace Heed's pleas
ant reminiscence of Henry Grady in
last Sunday's paper and it carried m
back to the hard days when Henry, like
Fields was struggling against fate to
Jmake his- paper a success. The -mer
chants had hot then learned the value
of advertising, and Henry pleaded, in
vain for a more liberal patronage. ' A
leading merchant who claimed to be his
friend stubbornly declined to give -him
a big 'ad' and said it would J money
thrown away, for nobody read them.
"Don't - read themt" exclaimed
Henry, "don't read them! Well,
will show you." -' , 'f-; j - '
JNext morning s paper .contained a
short editorial on cats and told how cat
fur had recently come into great demand
iu uusnionanie circles in oxew ioik ana
how the long coarse hairs were elimina
ted and the real fur was made into tip
pets and muffs and every7 fashionable
lady wore ft feline,: etc." Not far off in
another column was a displayed -adver-
usement mat Baia: . v
"WANTED1,000 cats, lor which
50 cents each will be paid." It ' - 1
The merchant's name was Bigned to
it. .;v- Z.:;,:'i-, -:'r
By noon the cats began to roll in.
Small boys, white and black, brought
them in baskets and bags. For a while
the merchant enjoyed -the joke, but
soon got tired and. went away to dinner.
By the time he returned the boys, and
darkies from the suburbs were coming
in and the sidewalk- was blockaded.
Henry had laughed until "he was ex
hausted and sat on a window till across
the street, threatened, he said, with a
cataleptic fit." Neighboring merchants
and their clerks gathered around and
aughed and shouted and cned at every
new arrival of cats.'! As fast as the mer
chant drove off one crowd another filled
their places. He armed himself with, a
big stick, but at last he closed his doors
in sheer despair and night relieved him
irom the pressure. " I :
But the next morning the catastrophe
waa worse.; The catalogue; was , not
ended, -for tlie country people had
heard the news and brought cats ? in on
their wood wagons and under their
buggy seats land tied up in cotton bas
kets like chickens.: Henry : took his
stand near by and leaned against a tele
graph pole for support. He and Shank-
lin dear "old Shanklin- and the folks
who lovod funy wereiall there and while
it was fun to the boys and death to the
irogs, it was such a rare joke that tne
merchant couldent get mad and finally
surrendered. He mad&an appropriate
little speech to the crowd and told
Henry that if he would promise - never
to do him so any more he yrould give
him the biggest "ad" he had ever had
in his paper. Henry promised and the
ad was given. That illustrated the
mischief that was in his rollicking
nature. ;-
