hast wilmington, July 2l, 1885.
 Greenbackers are expected to bear al- most every indignity. But your item of July 9th, relating to John Adams and fiat money, is too much for the most retired believer Tn paper money to let pass with out protest. The Continental money paid by President Adams for suit of clothes was not fiat money, but the kind wanted by hard money advocates, specie basis money, money needing redemption.
 The colonies issued notes to the amount of over three hundred million, promising to pay in Spanish mllled money; when probably there was not one million Span- ish milled dollars in all the colonies that their governments could lay hands on to redeem their promises. Fiat money is made such by the fiat power or deciara- ton of government, and completed by a law making it legal tender for dues, Trade dollars are not fiat or lawful money. The other silver and gold coins of the U. s. are fiat money. Eighty odd cents worth of silver bullion by the fiat of the govern ment N made equal in value as U. s. mon- ey to one hundred cents worth of coined gold. That this increased value of the silver is not fictitious is proved by the fact that one can go upon the street and get as much for the silver coin as for the gold. Not because of any promise of the govern ment to redeem the silver with gold, but because of it's fiat expressed by the law making the silver coin equal with the gold coin as legal tender money. The person cheated by this arrangement cannot be found. The claim made by believers in paper fiat currency that the creation of money is function of every established national government has nothing to do with imitation. That is possible with any system of money.
 l have yet to learn that paper fiat money has ever been issued. Some noted politi. clans have, during political campaigns. represented continental money and French assignats as examples of fiat money. As signats were notes of the French republic promising, or assigning to the holders parts of the confscated church lands. Being convertible into land they passed as money.
 When Napoleon took control the lands were restored to the churches, and the as- signats became worthless.
 From 1863 to 1869 greenbacks were practically though not formally, fiat mon- ey. It is noticeable that during that time the country enjoyed greater degree of prosperity than 1t has since the paper was made redeemable in specie.
 It was not my intention to offer argrl- ments, but help get at facts
