| Description | "On copper, and order for plated covers." (Marked No. 6.) [If copper should advance another penny, it is probable that all your excellent coin now in circulation will disappear, and the country will again be inundated with bad copper coin, unless Government take measures for supplying the vacuum with coin on the principles stated in your memorial. The high price of copper can only be advantageous to the miners: to me, who am a smelter and manufacturer without interest in any copper mine, it is a serious evil. A paragraph in a morning paper of yesterday announces that a mint is to be erected upon a very large scale in London, to which your apparatus and machinery are to be removed.] |
