The Supreme Court Decision on the
Legal Tender Act-Its Probable
Effects.
From the Chicago Tribune.


The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided, in case coming up from
Kentucky, that the Legal Tender act,
passed February 25, 1862, does not operate
upon contracts made prior to that date,
and that such contracts may be enforced
in coin.
The present decision will operate prin-
cipally on the bonds and obligations of
States, cities, counties, railroads, and other
corporations having long loans. There
will, of course, be great deal of complaint
against the new turn which has been given
to this class of obligations, but it is diff
cult to see where any injustice is done by
it. The borrowers have been for nine
years paying interest in currency, which
the Court now say ought to have been
paid in coin. The payees are, of course,
estopped from demanding coin on past
payments where they accepted currency
without protest, because no action can
arise where no dispute has existed If
then, the parties. who borrowed money
prior to 1852 at 8 or per cent, have
been meeting their interest obligations for
nine years at 3 or per cent, it is no real
hardship to them if they are now required
to resume payments at the rate originally
agreed upon.
The question will instantly arise whether
the Legal-Tender act is constitutional as
to contracts made since it's passage. Upon
+ this point the decision is silent, but all the
analogies would seem to require an answer
in the affirmative. Following the doctrine
that the intention of the parties is to govern
the enforcement of the contract, we are
brought inevitably to the conclusion of all
contracts made since the passage of the
law, was that they should be discharged
in legal tender notes, and that all parties
who have entered into contracts since that
time took into consideration the chances
of fluctuation in the value ofth currency.
This reasoning would require decision
Qf such case should come before the
Court) to the effect that the value of green
backs, at one time or another, is of no i'm
portance as regards contracts made since
