A correspondent at Fish Dam, n.

by accommodating silver" Money
made of any material can be ode
monetized" by legislation. It simply
means that no more money can be
made OF that particular metal or
substance for an indefinite period.
1t can be ren7onetized 10 the same

tized. Iu 1873 the Bland law was

ted. Decentralization does not neces'
sarily destroy the. value Of money

amounts TO the same in principle al
to pass a law against the making o.

of cotton or wool. The result will
be just as disastrous TO the country
