The plan contemplates that each of the new silver dollars shall take up two ol the paper dollars. It is said that the market value of Argentine four per cent gold bonds-is such that the investment would prove a profitable one for the Americans while its incidental effect would be to dispose of a considerable supply ot the surplus silver of the United States r .. i ' ".- -- When officials of the Treasury Department prepared Circular 128 they were of the opin ion that every conceivable, question concern ing the finance and coinage of the Union States had been answered.- They find they are mistaken. Hardly a day passed but that Questions are asked that Circular 123 does not ever refer to those concerting the owner ship ofgold and siher mines h the United States are the most numerous. Director of the Mint, Preston, says 4t is . a most im nossible to give the satisfactory reply to these KSSries. The gold and stiver mines of the United States, he says, are largely stocked affairs, and it' is very difficult to trace out the ownership of stock. Great Mocks ol European capital, he says, are always in the UnitedStates awaiting paying investments, -and when gold and silver, mines present thVmselves they are readily taken up. It is weUknoS,; S says, that the Bothscbilds and other loreign eapit -lists are large i own ers Tol stock in dividend-paying gold and ever mines in the United States. What per eentasreof such stock is owned by foreign Z cannot be determined. No official statistics on this subject have ever been wthtred y theUnlted States Government.
