Money and the Taxing Power
BYW.H.ASHBY.

BOOK 2. Chapter IV.
Observing next that men by this
time began to receive by voluntary
agreement these certificates, in dis
charge of private obligations to each
other requiring them to deliver valu
able commodities, and sometimes vol
untarily in satisfaction of judgments
rendered in cases of damages for torts,
the next step taken by government,
ia order tc further intensify the force
of demand for its certificates, is to
enact a law that no judgment of any
of its courts snould be satisfied by
any means, except by the presenta
tion or, "tender" of such certificates
to the custodian of the judgment, or
the officer holding an execution, and
compelling the judgment debtor, at
whatever sacrifice, to procure these
certificates for that purpose.
Slowly and naturally in the pro
cess of time, beginning with the is
suance to meet its own needs of a
certificate to be given as a guarantee
and Inducement to a taxpayer to pay
his taxes In advance,, govern
ments have evolved a thing endoweJ
with the exclusive power by its
"tender" to satisfy both tax levies
and judgments. This thing, no mat
ter what may be its form or upon
what substance impressed, is coin.
It will be needful here to digress a
little in order to consider the nature
of what is called "tender."
Many people have formed an erron
eous opinion as to this power. It is
only "in the public offices" and "in
the courts" that the power of tender
is of the smallest validity. No offers
of payment, no matter how pressing,
if made elsewhere and refused can
avail as a satisfaction. If you hold
my past due promissory note for $10,
it is vain that I offer you outside
of the courts an American gold
eagle and demand my note. Your re
fusal in no way affects the validity
of your claim. By certain later star..
utes and customs you may, by cer
tain acts of refusal, lose your right to
recover usury and costs. But the of
fer of an eagle in the above case, out
side the courts and before judgment,
lr rerused, does not act as a receipt
or in any way invalidate your claim.
iou can still go into court and re
cover a judgment
There, "in the court," I can present
the eagle and its "tender" in "thH
courts of the United States" is a per
emptory receipt and . satisfaction cf
your claim when it Is merged into a
judgment But before judgment no
tender of anything is or can be a satisfaction.-
Every sovereign government has as -sumed
to have authority to declare
what article shall be a peremptory re
ceipt and conclusive evidence of pay
ment by its "tender "in th nnhlir
onices" against tax levies, and "in
tne courts" against judgments. The
power, of "tender" is operative no
where else. It exists nowhere else.
Now, it is a remarkable fact that
while the states of this Union, which
possessed inherent sovereign powers,
granted to congress, which has no
inherent powers, the cower to "coin"
our "money," they neither granted the
power to "fix the standard of mnnev"
nor to declare what article or articles
shall be a "tender" in "the public
offices" or "in the courts of th? United
States. The Dower to coin mnnw
was granted to congress and prohib
ited to tne states. The states which
previously had power, no doubt, to
make anything theymight choose a
tender In all payments are prohibited
by the constitution from making
"anything but gold and silver coin"
a tender In payment of debts. 1 But
while the states retained the power
to make gold and silver coin a ten
der In payment of all debts, the
United States was not granted -tha
power to make anything such tender,
Clearly no article is such tender by
any inherent power of its own.
On the face of the matter as it
stands, therefore, there is no article
whatever which is a tender in pay
ment of debts in this country, because
congress was not granted any power
to declare that anything shall be a
tender; and while each of the statss
has retained the power to make "gold
and silver coin a tender in payment
of all debts," It is not believed that
any considerable number of them
have done so. The result is that no
article has been designated which has
the power to be a tender in payment
of debts.
Notwithstanding that such is the
condition, as it exists under the con
stitution, yet because of the little
knowledge possessed by men upon the
science of wuuey the Srst congress
did, without any constitutional au
thority, enact a law by which to "fix
the standard of money" and by which
it did declare what article shall be
"a tender in all payments." And i:
must be admitted that the power to
declare what shall be a tender is not
an incident to the power to coin
money. ,
Although entirely without author
ity, It is believed that, having bean
acquiesced in for more than a hun
dred years bad as such a precedent,
is in a case of bold usurpation, tee
courts would hold the act constitu
tional and that the power to "fix the
standard of money" and the power t3
declare what article shall be a "ton
der" In all payments passed to con
gress as a power necessary in the
exercise of the - powers actually
granted.
It becomes apparent, then, that
three separate and distinct things arc
involved in this discussion:
1. The oower to "fix the standard
of money," which-is exercised by ti e
selection of the symbol to be the term
by tne use of which the "valuation"
of quantity of the force of demand
for commodities may be expressed, so
that the taxing power may be exer
cised and justice admirlstered II
making tax levies and in the rendi
tion of judgments "in the miblic
offices and in the courts of the United
States."
2. The power "to coin" that
'money." when it is so fixed, is the
power to stamp or "coin" the symbol
adopted uoon a suitable substance
as a means of anticipating the rev
enues, thus making receipts against
future tax levies and exchanging them
for needed services and materials,- to
enable government to carry on its
operations.. -
S. The power to declare what thine
or things shall be "a tender in all
payments," by which is meant the
power to declare what article by de
livery shall peremptorily perform th
office of a conclusive receipt and can
cel, by its "tender," all tax levies "In
tne pudhc oinces";and all judgments
m tne courts of the Unked States."
Notwithstanding our habits of
thought have fixed sucn an idea in 011
minds, yet coin is only one thing law
might endow with power of tender. .;
While it is clear that the constitu
tion fails to give congress any pow
er over two of these points; yet con
gress having exercised tnat power.
though without authority, for so long
a period of time, we will consider the
matter settled by prescription; and
"coin,", therefore, or its substitute. Is
the on 1 y thing endowed by statute
with the power, of tender..

Now, when a government' has
evolved such certificates of payment
of tax levies, for any number of year?
in advance of such levies, as a means
of anticipating its revenues, and in
scribes upon these certificates (in the
"money" symbol, with the numerals)
the quantity of value it received for
them and for which they must be ac
cepted as a peremptory receipt and
conclusive proof of payment agaiast
all tax levies, then that government
has exercised the power to "coin" its
"money." To coin money is to stamp
or print the symbol (which Is the
"money") of the government that i3
performing: the act. To "coin money"
is a phrase of the same character as
is to "print words." The result, of one
is "coin;" the result of the other may
be a "composition," an "editorial," a
"poem," or a "drama." The phrase
"to coin money" has no reference to
the material or substance upon which
"money'! shall; be "coined."

"A year ago I suffered from extreme nerv
ous .stomach trouble. I was afraid of every
thing, could not bear to hear singing or musie
and reading or hearing of a death nearly ;
brought on my own. I could not sleep or
hardly lie down, the back of my head hurt .
me so badly I nearly went crazy. My shoul
ders hurt and the least thing I did would
bring on an attack of extreme nervousness.
There were times when 1 would have a lump -in
my throat and my mouth would be so dry
I could hardly speak. I was in despair until
I began to take Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv
ine. I have taken in all twelve bottles and '
consider myself permanently cured. My
home doctor has since remarked on my :
healthy appearance and said he wished he
could say his medicine helped me. He -knows
