The New York Tribune says: Not man
has ever lost dollar by holding note of
the kind we now use. Great loss there has
been, because those notes were not so good
at one time as at another, but that is now
ended. For the first time we have q currency
the worth of which bankers, money-dealers
and exchange-br0kers cannot fix as they
please, at one rate for one place and another
for another. 1t is uniform, fair to all, and
so well guarded that no man looks to see
whether the note he takes is one of the United
States, or of some bank near or far off.
All the notes are at all places and at all times
as good as gold, because the holder can at
any time get legal tenders for bank notes, and
gold for legal tenders. What reason is there
for going back to the use of notes which are
not good anywhere, and not uniform even in
their badness.
