Silver coinage and seigniorage under the 1890 act debated
A prominent silver advocate asserts that the standard silver dollar will not cease after July 1, 1891 but will be minted to the full 4,500,000 ounces monthly. The Treasury may coin as much as necessary for redemptions, with seigniorage possible to fund deficits, and future Congresses could alter policy. The article discusses Treasury discretion, potential impeachment risks, and the path from silver dollars to currency.

Treasury Deficit Ahead in Tomorrow's Statement
The Treasurer’s statement due tomorrow is expected to show a deficiency of about 600,000 dollars, reversing the usual net cash balance. Officials note large bank deposits and silver holdings, with current month expenditures surpassing revenues by over 8.1 million, driven by pension payments. They expect remainder-of-month spending to ease, with receipts likely producing a small surplus overall. If past two days’ receipts were included, a 2 million dollar surplus would appear.
