size of the notes is implied grant to issue notes
of any size, that grant is eectua and forcble as
if it had been expressed in words. Now, if such
grant had been expressly made, the law respecting

the bank and operates to restrain its issues It fol-
lows, most logically, that the silence respecting the
size of the notes is not equivalent to contrart that
twas to issue bills of any size. Indeed, 1t follows
that the regulation of the size Of the bills IS with
the public since there is chartered right or con
tract in relation thereto. And this result accords
precisely with the conclusion of the case cited by
Macon in his late essay the subject; and well
warranted the act of 1880, which allowed the bank

general laws as individuals. And werepcat that The
Observer, by it's admission that the Bank OF Fay

dime bills only by the due bill act of 1916 has given
up the question: for the repeal of that act (scc chap

our thanks to the Observer for introducing to our

extracts from that law, showing the summary man

by the legislators of that day.
