To settle u dispute will you please tell
us through your paper ifthe trade dollar
is legal tender for my amount.
.. ,, ANSWER ~ i.af 8
The Trade dollar is not legal tender to
any amount, and although it contains
nearly s grains more Of silver than the
legal tender dollar, yet the anomaly is seen
in some cities of banks and brokers re-
fusing 10 receive 1t at over 90 cents,
whereas they receive the dollar containing
only 1921 grains Of silver at 100 cents.
When the coinage Of trade dollars was ai'
thorizetl in 1873 they were made legal
tender to the extent OF S, butin 1915 their
legal tender character was abrogated by
Congress, and hence, as nobody is now
Obliged to receive themin payment Of any
debt, they pass for just about what they
are worth rs silver bullion. IN. :7,.,.
