Mr.. Aslvills " Fallsr. the second Deno-
cTst Judge appointed oy ~. Cleveland. was
untll DIS apo inIment. . comparatively IN.
kn0xR man: but his Yiss on the legal ten
der decision were fully set forth 10 An ab
crate address he delivered on that s0ojec
before the Illinois bar Association, Janu
ary T. 1850 la that address he .sid
; nee Ito creation OF the Federal Govern
ment two parties have existed, direglns

further, be says. Il obviously do not agree
wish the dsci.ion of the Supreme Court
upon which / have been commenting.
would De Gncsndid 10 deny that the basi,
OF that difference of opinion IS 10 be founc
in the difference in the cardinal tensts o
political faith.
BY the record of the two last Democra
judges appointed. il will Dc seen that th'
Supreme Court now stands fye to three a.
against seven TO one ia favor of that deci-
SION whom II was rendered, and that two
more like changes would leave that cour
subject 70 . reversal OF that decision.
Ia his second report to Congress. Mr.
C.eye, and's Secretary of the Treasury said
Il ez.n not myself believe the voters of the
several States will ever decide that theil
Federal Government holds as sovereign
owsr 10 issue and reissue treasury notes
ard make them = legal tendsr in paymen
OF private debts a. il has TO coin money anC
borrow it."
The only argument used by the Supreme
1 Court judges and the executive officers d
I the gevsrnment who oppose the decision,
| said Mr.. Jones. is that Cong ess has no
the right to issue legal tender notes (gresn
| backs, because such authority 10 no
| given 10 specific language by tn,
| Constitution. Ia other words, Congress die
not possess the power Ii exercised TO sup
/ press the late rebellion and preserve ths
union OF the States, or If the goveramen
and people should be without money. Con
| gress has not the power TO preserve the life
| of the government nor save the people from
universal bankruptcy by providing cur
| reney for their relief
An honest. intelligent Greenbacker
agree that Congress has the sovereigr
power to create aud issue money made
| from any material it sees Ut TO use for ths
| purpose; that money Is q creation of law
| regardless OF the material il is made of. snt
| that Congress should now create and issu
1
least ffty dollars per capita of population
| and make them absolute money. so as ,,
/ pat the prices of labor and property bacl
| where they were when the debts of th
| country were created under government
| obligations then used as money 10 tina
| amount.
Every body remembers the letter writer
| 20 the one hundred Democratic members o
| Congress by Ar. Cleveland before he becam
| President, arguing against the further coin
ase of silver dollars. mis- Subsequent message
to Congress on the money question. an,
! that among the frat acts OF his adminstra
ton be set aside 500 10000 in gold 10 re
deem and retirs greenbacks. which tim.
/ should have taught him no one wants re

/ treasury to swell its much talked Of surplus
| They will also remember Senator Beck
| resolution. which passed the Senate unani
/ mously, last April, providing that silve
/ certificates be issued TO take the place of al
/ National bank notes retired from circula
ton, and that resolution has been slum
bsring ever since In the House Committe
| of Ways and Means through executive in
| fuence.
DO not understand me as speaking o
the whole Democrat party, nor of many O
| its representatives mo know TO be honest
/ capable and patriotic men. But Presiden
| CisYeland's English policy regarding fnanc'
and the defense of true Democrat America,
! principles srs widely different question.
and Doth have their defenders within tn
ranks of the present so-called Democra
party.
In view Of the sdvsnced age of mos
members Of the Supreme Court who agrees
on the legal tender decision when il va
rendered. and OF the changes which mas
soon be made IN that body, t5e views an
