the Tribune says: The fertility Of
California soil under irrigation far ex-

CONTRACTS FOR GOLD PAYMENTS.


In the Minnesota legislature which re-
Gently rendered its best service to the state
by adjourning, among the many crude
bills introduced was one forbidding the
making of contracts for payment in gold.
All such contracts were to be null and
void, and the courts were forbidden to en-
terrain actions for the collection of debts
covered by such contracts.
BY the introduction of this bill Its author
did precisely what he probably has been in
the habit of charging others with doing,
and condemning them therefor, but which
neither the law nor the general business
custom of the country has done--the dis
crediting Of other kinds Of legal tender
money, and the making of discrimina-
ton in favor of gold as superior to these.
Posing as the sensitive friend and self-con-
stituted champion of those other descrip-
tons of currency, the author of this silly
measure did by its introduction degrade
them to the full measure of his ability.
The laws of the United States make no
distinction between the several kinds of
its legal tender currency. Each is alike
and equally receivable for all debts public
and private, including customs dues and
internal revenue taxes. Except in pursu-
ance Of specific contracts in some portions
of the Pacific Coast. in all of their busi-
ness transactions the people of the United
States use these different kinds Of govern.
