any harder blow than that administered
in the opinion of ChIef-justice Morse, in
the Michigan case. Judge Morse il the
present Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. In his opinion c%oncurring with
the other judges as to the unconstitu-
tionality of the gerrymander. he said:
The senatorial apportIonments of 1891
and 1892, which are before us SO that we
are compelled 10 examine them. were
neither OF them arranged In view of the
Constitution or the rights of electors of

and has 40 long been INDUCED in without
rebuke that it threatens not only the peace
of the people, but the permanency OF our
free institutions. The courts alone, in this
respect, can save the rights of the people
and give TO them q fair count and equality

be practically no check upon the issue
of bills and no vigorous system of in
spection. The country would be flooded
with paper money, which, if it were cur
rent, would not be a legal tender. The
law by which cheap money drives the
better out of circulation is as certain as
that under which water runs down hill.
The poorer money, with no machinery
for its redemption in coin or legal
tender, would supplant all other in the
ordinary channels of business. The man
who should sell produce or b would
be compelled to take it. but when he
went to pay a note or to make a pay

States money. If he were going into
another State, he must first go to a
broker and get funds current in that
State. and if he exchanged the money
