THE GREENBA CKS DEPRECIA TED
BYA REPUBLICAN, CONGRESS.

The greenback ofthe war contained q
promise and q contract as follows:
"This note is a legal-tender for all
debts public and private, except duties
on import and interest on the public
debt, and is exchangeable for United
States six per cent. twenty year bonds,
redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States after five years."
This contract and promise held the
Igreenback equal TO the bond being in
terconvertible with it. In 1864 this con
vertibility was destroyed else the green
back to-day would be equal to the inter-
est bonds which are six per cent better
than gold. On this point Chief Justice
Chase delivered an opinion from which
we quote: ..,a,geara--
"The best support for note circulation
is not limitation, but receiyability, es-
pecially for loans bearing coin interest.
** ltis plain that currency so
supported can not depreCiate more than
the loans; in other words, below the
general credit of the country 1t will
rise or fall with it. At the present mo-
ment, if the notes were received for FIVE
per cent, bonds, they would be at par. In
other words, SPECIE PAYMENTS WOULD BE
RESUMED"
