A COOP IDEA-The Nevada National gets
off the following suggestion. It would play
hob with the receipts, if passengers followed
it, and the company had to submit:
Why do passengers on the Pacific Railroad
pay their fare in coin instead Of greenbacks!
The Company are bound to take legal tenders
and must take them and do take them. The
same Congress which gave them their con
trac, declared that gresnbacks were legal cur
rency at par value. The company cannot gel
around this, an the ground Of State law, be-
cause they are bound by the Federal Author
ity which is paramount in their case. BY
paying this Company coin, you rob yourself
for the discount is clearly in your favor, lie
