proper however to chnrge all of the
apparent decline In the price of ailver to
the lock of demand for ailver, A part of
it fa due to the liicrcueing demand anil

demand for gold and will enhance the
price of gold by that amount,

Many of our republican exchangee are
filled with popullat editorial', The re

would be valuable, no matter by what

the republican party la aiiicere in ita ad
vocacy of poatal aaving bank, and will
eupport tbla bill, the peopl alll aoon
get relief. It will come up for conaidera
tion at the next eeeeloD of congrea. We
are willing that the law ehould be panned
by a republican congrea ia order that
the people may get a partial relief from
the banking monopoly at once. How
ever, a water tan tee better from a clean
cup than from a dirty one, we believe
that legislation eccured from a pure
part I better than legilntion eccured
from a corrupt party. We do not think
that our republican exchange 'exprewaee

"Money I that which pnese freely from
band to hand throughout the commun
ity in final discharge of debt and full
payment for commodities; bemg accept
ed equally wltbout reference to the char
actr or credit ol the jstsoii who offer it
and without the intention o! the person
who receive it to consume it or enjoy It
or apply it to any other use than in turn
to tender it to other in discharge
debt or payment lor commodities.
A careful reading of thi definition will
disclose the fuct that a number of thing
which many believe to be money and
whicn In a measure js'rform the work of
money, are not uch In reality. Nothing
but a full legal tinder for a I due and
demand, both public and private, full
meet all the requirement of Walker
definition, . .
"Final discharge of debts" doe not
mean a compromise between debtor and
creditor, whereby the latter agree to
take some commodity or ot her thing of
value lu cancellation of the debt. It I
uot a question of what the creditor may
afterward agree to do or passively allow
to be done, but wholly one of what the
debtor can do, against the will o bi
creditor, In "final discharge of his debt,",
Considerable misunderstanding exist
as to what "legal tender" means; many
suppose that an offer of lawful monev
will discharge a debt whether the credi
tor accept It or not; but thl Is not the
case; such an offer will not prevent or de
feat a suit at law lor the amount of the
debt, but all cost must be paid by the
plaintiff creditor which may bo incurred
after the defendant debtor ony Into
court, In legal tender money, the amount
of his debt, The plaintiff, afttir such ten
der is made, (,tnd It must, be kept "good"
that Is, In the court's bonds) can then,
go on and tuke judgment, of conrse,
paying all costs; but be cannot have an
execution levied ugaliist the debtor'
property so long as the tender Is kept
up. The reason for thl is that property
eciised ou execution mustbesold for legal
lender money and the money turned
over to the plaintiff. He can in no event
get the property without such execution
sale, und should be perchance be the
buyer thereat he stands In no better
light thnn any other buyer-it lathe
legal tender money that makes the "final
discharge of debt,"
(lolil coin iiro the onlv money under
our present laws that fully meet all the
requirement of th Walker definition,
not because of their "intrinsic value,"
for the rson who receive them doe
not Intend to consume, enjoy or apply
them to any other use than In turn to
tender thorn In discbarge of debt or pay
ment fur commodities; but becuuse
coined gold I the only money which i
unqualifiedly a legal tender, nuver aoi-
lur are a legal tender "except when
otherwise stipulated in the contract;"
thus allowing private person by agree
ment Irequently entered Into by debt
or who are unuble to avoid It to flo
mouetlM ailver money so far a that
particular contract I concerned.
United HUtes notes, commonly called
"greenbacks," are a full legal tender ex
cept In payment of Import duties and In
terest on the public debt, thus crippling
them lu "final discharge" of certain
debts, ' -
National bank note are "receivable at
par in all parte of th United Btate ia
payment of all taxes and excise and all
other dues to the Unlud Htatea except
except duties on Imports, andaloall
salaries und other debt and demands
owing by the United Htate to Individ
ual, corporation and association
within the United Htate, except Interest,
on public debt." Uut they are not a
legal tender as between individuals.
Treasury notes issued under the act of
July 14, 1800, commonly called "Kher
inuu notes," are emasculated precisely
like the silver dollar.
Oold and silver certificates are mere
warehouse certificates of so much gold
or silver coiu and tire not a legal tender.
Hence, the contention of our gobflte
friend that gold is "sound money" is
good, but they very discreotly keep in
the background the cause for its sound
ness it full legal tender quality. Aud
the only reason t he other kind of cur
rency are not the best money is because
they hick in some particular this quality.
They pass freely "Irom hand to hund
throughout the community;" they are
iicceptoii "without refereuco to the char
acter or credit" of the person who offers
them; they ore accepted without the In
tention of the person who receives thrill
to consume, enjoy or apply thein to any
other tie than inturntotepdor to others
in discharge of debt or full payment for
commodities; yet they are not "sound
money" lci'iiiie there nra certain spe
cific debts which cannot bo discharged
bv them without concession on the part
of the creditor.
Hut this legal Under pros-rty U not
Ood-Kiveu; it is nut inherent or intrinsic;
It is simply a man made decreo, aud men
(some very scheming, avaricious ones
too) are responsible lor the defect
pointed out. These delects can be rein
edied becuua they nre caused by man.
Heine, our shibboleth that all money,
whether gold, silver or paMr, 1st made a
lull legal tender lor nil debts.
