II upon pay day in your Office, you
should find yourself with bare money
enough to pay interest or principal Of Q
mRtured note, upon the payment Of
which your credit depended, you would
likely ask your employees to accept your
due bills, bearing your promise Of pay
ment at the earliest possible date. This
you could do temporarily for service rem
dered, but you could not pay your note,
with your note or due bill, and even should
you exchange your due bill for the ma
tured note, 1t would not be payment Of
the note, but merely putting of the day
OF payment, and thiS Of itself II con-
tinued indefinitely would prove des-
tructive 70 your credit.
This was the situation of the govern
ment, employing men and making Ito
purchases upon credit, for which it
Issued It's notes, while at the same time
1t had 70 pay maturing debts with money,
and not merely with promises TO pay
money. Since resumption Of specie pay
ments however, these notes have been
received in payment Of interest and prin-
cipal Of the public debt, for the reason
they are paid at sight in real money.
With It's money obligations to pay, the
government wisely left open one avenue
to the treasury, namely, duties upon Inn
ports through which nothing but gold
was permitted to flow, thus securing the
necessary money with which to pay Ia
maturing debts, without having TO enter
the market as a purchaser Of money,
bidding against gold spectators.
The paper money idea had no lOdg-
ment in the public mind at the time the
legal tender notes were issued, that cur
rency having been regarded in lts true
light, namely, notes to be paid by the
government as soon as money could be
secured for that purpose. Even the
declaration that the notes should be q
tender in payment Of all obligations, save
the public debt, was a radical departure
from the policy which had characterized
the financial transactions Of the govern
ment from its foundation. Paper cur
rency had never been clothed with debt
paying power in this country, and while
government had coined gold and silver, /
do not think It had declared these metals
q tender in payment of debt having left
that prerogstive to the states; therefore
the declaration that Its notes should be
legal tender necessarily met with much
opposition, In and out Of Congress.
The notes and bonds Of government
alike represented government debt, each
containing promise TO pay In money,
the note bearing no interest, with date Of
payment indefinite, circulated a. cur

S. McLGltin, Editor Advocate, Topeka, Kan.
DEAR SIR:-Absence from home de-
layed reply to your published letter, ad-
dressed to myself, in which you assign
financial legislation of the Republican
party as the chief reason leading your
self and many other Republicans to
abandon that party, the specific acts you
name and to which you object being
first, the exception clause In the legal
tender act" and secondly, "the credit
strengthening act" AS the legal tender
act was passed in 1862, and was in effect
repealed in 1879 by the resumption Of
specie payments, and 40 the "credit
Strengthening act" of 1859 served It's pur-
pose for good or i'll twenty years ago,
you having voted endorsement Of both
measures, so long as endorsement was Of
any value, it looks now little late to
recognize for the first time, the epernicious
effects of these acts to an extent leading
you to forsake the party with which you
we're associated for almost a third Of q
century. But, be that as it may, shall
pass it by entering upon discussion Of
the merits of these acts, first understand
ing the terms, "money," "nOtes," sour
rency," and "legal tender"
Money Is not a promise, and promise
is not money, money itself being sub
stance and not shadow, the exchange Of
which is payment and not mere trans
fers Of credit to which there Is coupled
no obligation to redeem or receive II
back, it therefore neither has or requires
redeemer. Gold and silver have, for
time out of mind, been money, the only
money of civilization, the gross amount
of these metals by weight constituting
the measure of value of all other prop
eFty, the money Of the several countries
OF the world, some using gold, others
using silver, the needs of mankind every
where in the exchange of commodities,
requiring that something be universally
recognized and adopted as that for which
any and all kinds Of property and labor
may be exchanged, and by common con-
sent the two metals, gold and silver,
were chosen and used before govern
ments coined them, and long before
legislative acts declared them tender
In payment Of debts, hence their value
is due to use rather than to legal enact
ment. And it makes but little difference
whether this value be called 'intrinsic,"
or whether it be regarded as fetchiSm,
the fact still remains that the universal
desire for the possession of these metals
fixes the status of their value, coinage

power to create value, government is
poweFless to create money save as it may
issue paper currency payable In money,
such currency performing the functions
Of money only within the jurisdiction Of
the government which may require its Cit
liens to accept the notes in payment Of
debt, their value being representative, de-
pended upon certainty Of payment, which
likewise depends upon the volume Of
such notes issued. The value Of such
currency depends wholly upon the coun-
try wherein issued, but no country
can within itself determine or materially
affect the value Of gold, It being the
money of q moro extended realm, the
standard Of value of commerce, the uni
form measure Of all staples, and az value
Of commodities everywhere ii depend
ent upon the worlds supply and de-
mand, 80 gold being 3 universal com
modify Is likewise dependent upon
supply and demand in the worlds
market for value.
When the legal tenders, with the ex-
ceptlon clause to which you object were
issued, the government was debtor
for moneys borrowed, and 1t was still
borrower, 30 that It occupied the position
Of purchaser on credit while prosecut-
ing the war, and a debtor whose interest
obligations were maturing, hence In the
employment Of men and In the purchase
Of supplies for the army it was creating
debt for which it's notes, payable in the
future were given, but in paying interest
or principal upon it's bonds, it was max
ing final payment Of debt, and while 1t
could make debt by giving its note, 1t
could pay debt only by giving money,
money in the opinion Of every person
and In the financial transactions Of the
government meaning gold OK silver;
therefore in exchanging Its notes or due
bills for its purchases, and paying money
on Its debts, the government did just Is
every business man has done and Ia still
doing; did that which every m lnicipallty,
every county, and every state is doing
and has always done, namely; issued It's
notes, due bills or warrants, for its pur-
chases, while paying money upon It's
matured debts.
The city Of Topeka, with outstanding
bonds and matured interest, would ex-
haust her treasury TO pay the coupons In
the currency Of the country, while at the
same time she would Issue her warrants
or promises to pay, for services rendered
and supplies furnished the city. Nor
would the city government attempt 20,
pay the interest on its bonds with city
warrants, Save there was money In the.
treasury with which TO cash the warrants
on demand. The city might purchase
supplies and hire men upon her credit,

being but government certificate Of the
finenesg of the metal and the weight of
the piece, Its debt paying power, being but
declaration that the metal, having rec
ognlzed value, certified to by govern
ment, offered In payment shall be the
end Of the law and that courts shall not
assist the creditor 10 collecting pay in
anything else. This action OF govern
ment, impartS no value, but iS mere
recognition Of value Of material which
It declares shall be received in payment
OF debt. Occasional experiments have
been tried ct making money Of paper, as
instanced in the Law scheme Of France a
hundred years ago, and the continental
money of this country, such experiments
having always proven failures and ruin
GUS to the country trying them.
Governments, states and incorporated
banking companies, issue notes, bearing
the makers promise Of payment in
money on demand or at some definite
time, and such notes circulating as cur
rency possess representative value, de-
pendent upon certainty and ease with
which they may be exchanged for one or
both the metals, the note however stand
ing for the debt of its maker. Govern
ment as the law making power from
which courts derive their authority, may
give legal tender function to anything
offered in payment Of debt, that is, it
might refuse to enact law enabling the
creditor to collect anything else In pay
ment Of debt, beyond that thing deslg-
mated by law.
Prior to the war, the United States
collected its revenues in gold and silver,
and in these moneys paid its demands,
debts and current expenses, never hav-
ing issued notes to be used as currency,
much less to circulate as legal tender.
A contract by government for payment
OF money, whether stipulated or not,
meant payment in coin and nothing else,
as in the opinion Of the people and in
the transactions Of the government moth
ing else was, or ever had been recognized
as money. But the governments outlay
exceeded it's income five times over,
hence 1t was forced to prosecute the war
upon credit, one form of which was ex-
pressed In the legal tender notes, the
government promising to pay money for
these as soon as money could be OBJ
tanned with which to pay, government
having said TO the soldier Of whom it
purchased service, and to the citizen
from whom It purchased supplies, "The
government is out OF money, but here is
its note, and as you may wish to use il
before it can be paid, the government
has decreed in order TO protect you, that
your creditor shall likewise receive il for
the debt you owe him." Thus having no
