It is not, however, so much to discuss the matters bouring upon "in- trinsic" and "nominal value that we again revert to the subject of the mint, as to the more general question of what is to be done with the entire establish- ment.

If, on the other hand, it can be made evident that at the end of any given period it will yield a revenue, it may be quite worth while to keep it in the highest possible state of efficiency. At all events, some eluar understanding es to the future is called for.
