artesian wells to far greater depths, and
at far less cost than would be possible
without the diamond drill.
Another similar application has lately
been announced. A thin circular disk of
steel several feet in diameter is set with
a number of pieces of diamond or bort,
firmly brazed in place and distributed over
its sides. This disk, when rotated, forms
circular saw of great power, which will
cut through large blocks of hard stone
very easily, and at very small cost. For
saving sandstone, granite, and other hard
stones, the diamonds are braZed into the
edges of a straight blade of iron, which
gradually cuts the stone while 1t is drawn
back and forth.

Legal Tender Decisions.
NO. III.

NOs ILL.,
EDITOR ADvooATE:-Fi months be-
fore the decisions by the highest courts
Of Indiana and New York, the question
OF the legsl-tender act had arisen in the
supreme court of the latter state. This
case Of Hague vs.. Powers was decided In
April, 1868, by the full court OF four
judges, who were unanimous in their
opinion. At that time the district court
OF PnilRdelphlS alone had passed upon
the law of February 25, 1862. Presiding
Judge, E. D. Smith, said that treasury
notes issued for the purpose Of currency
aud designed to be used and put into
circulation as money are means which
congress may dsem necessary and
proper" to carry out the powers Of gov
ernment. Notes transferable by deliv-
cry and payable to bearer were author
lied by acts Of congress in 1872, 1915
and 1887, and continued in 1888, 1889,
1840, 1841, 1912 and 1S45. This class Of
notes were obviously issued for cirCulS.
tion among the people and to be paid to
public creditors as money. Under the
act OF February, 1862, notes we're in.
tended to be and notOriously are paid TO
civil, naval and military officers, to SOL
diers, contractors and other government
creditors as money. Such payments
would be quite unAvailing and very un-
satisfactory If such notes were not re-
Ceivable by the community at large and
did not perform the Office Of q circulat-
ing medium. For this purpose the act
makes them . legal tender In payment
Of all public and private debts. (Un-

least the interest will be paid perpetu-
ally, which he much prefers. Now,
the fact that some of the most adroit
and conscienceless scOundrels engaged
in railroad and trust frauds are also in
our national legislature, does not pre-.
vent the Englishman from putting
money into United States bonds. What
is to be thought of the intelligence of
the American voter who is so stupid
and prejudiced by party feeling that
he will allow himself and his poSterity
to be bound for the payment of en-
tirely unnecessary and, therefore,
fraudulent bonds by set of Williams in
congress, when even an Englishman
declines to trust them in any other
scheme outside of congress. In other
words, we allow unlimited debts to be
fastened upon us by congress merely
because we must support our party,
whereas, if the same men were en-
gagged in like nefariOus schemes Of
plunder and robbery as private indi-
viduals, we would denounce them as
rascals and refuse to entrust a dollar
in their hands. Here is where Johnny
Bull shows more horse sense than we
do.
There's that Nicaragua canal
scheme. A more bare.faced fraud
was never attempted to be saddled
upon suffering humanity, and yet the
senate, by a vote Of 81 to 2l, has
agreed to indorse 70 million dollars in
bonds for these thieves. No one
familiar with the infamous scheme can
doubt that it was bought of the senate.
With hundreds of millions of money
seeking investment in London and
New York, there could be found no
one foolish enough to put dollar into
the Wretchedly fraudulent scheme, and
yet, with the Pacific railroad steal star
ing them in the face, our infamous
senate has bound an already insolVent
nation for untold millions, for this 70
millions is only a beginning of the
steal. 1t does seem as if little hemp
stretching would have to beresorted to-,
or little English horse sense.

The badges that ornamented the manly

lusty legislators didn't go down in
their jeans for the $40 by long shot,
as many of them will be looking for a

to get $40 month. 1t is strong re-

civilized country did, the money 10 use
consist Of gold and silver exclusively.
y The power is in my judgment
most clearly to make laws prescribing
what the money OF the country shall be
and the value Of the money thus Gre
ated. II it was intended to restrict the
exercise Of this power to pnaCtments on
the subject OF gold and silver only, we
should naturally expect to find that
some such terms would have been chosen
clearly expressing such limitations.
The trainers Of the constitution Cer-
tsinly must be supposed to have known
something OF what is termed the evils
Of paper money and IL it was intended TO
exclude the creation OF that species OF
money from the power OF congress, moth
ing is more rational or natural than that
something Of the kind should have BEEN
said in clear and explicit terms. IL to
coin Is to be- restricted in It's definition
to work upon metals, it applies to other
metals Rs we'll as gold and silver and
proves too much for the argument.
"I can have no doubt that should any
other metal or combination Of metals be
discovered which, in the Judgment Of
congress, was more convenient and suit.
able for pse Rs money than gold and sil'
YER, it might by law make such metal or
combination money and prohibit the
use Of gold and silver 90 money. And
have as little doubt that congress has
under this head Of power to make laws
on the subject Of the money OF the Coun-
try,ample authority to declare and make
by law these promises Of the government,
money and legal tender in payment Of
all debts Whatever. y = Congress
has in repeated instances exercised this
very power (of making legal tender),
not to the same extent or in the same
degree, perhaps, but identical in kind,
whenever in its judgment the necessity
or convenience OF the country required
1t. The power is clearly one OF the at
tributes Of sovereignty and may be OK
ercised whenever deemed necessary OK
proper by the sovereign authority. The
government Gn this war; must not only
borrow on its credit, but must create %
far .as practicable an additional Cur-
renCy to meet the urgent and immediats
necessities. If, in the judgment OF con-
Rress, it was either necessary or proper,
to make these government promises q
legal tender in payment OF private ss
we'll ss public debts, it had unqueatlon-
ably power to do 50 sDdSoven to declare
them lawful money. / have no hesitR-
tion in pronouncing this provision OF the
act in question perfectly in accord with
the plain letter, intent and spirit OF the
constitution"
Judge j. @. Smith was satisfied that
the act in question is within the power
Of congress-" Judge Welles concurred.
With such clear.minded judges, it is
not surprising that the conStituhOnality
OF the legal-tender acts was sustained
three times In the supreme courts Of
New York and three times In the high
est court OF appeals within four years.

English Horse Sense.

dorsing the presidents special mes
sage, quotes a cablegrsm from Lon
don as follows:
"'The failure to punish the criminal
mismsnagement of railroad and other
great corporations in America is hay
ing disastrous effsct upon the Eng
lish view of the American sense of
honor. There can be no revival
of English interest in this class of in
Vestments until at least some measure
is adopted in the United States for the
punishment of railway thieves. An
Englishmsn sees public conscience
practically Indifferent to the matter,
and naturally concludes that the lack
Of commercial honor has become q ma
tional characteristic.
"'The exposures Of corruption in the
New York city administration which
have been fully exploited by the Eng
lsh press have convinced the people Of
this country that American politics are
hopelessly rotten. The average Eng
lishman makes no distinction between
New York and Washington, and now
ranks the national senators in the same
category with the group of bOodlers in
some of the New York city depart
ments. This belief will probably re-
main fixed in the English mind until
there is a great national revolt against
corruption
''I am sorry to be unable to deny
that this black opinion of the Ameri-
can character is the one most widely
held just now by the critics of all cres-
tion, namely, Englishmen.
"An my informants agreed, how
ever, that the English market will
speedily take a large issue of the
United States gold bonds, 8 per cent.
at par, or preferably 216 per cent. at a
discount"
The conspirators who are determined
to fasten the gold standard upon us
with all the wreck and ruin and misery
that it implies, have insisted that all
our financial embarrassments have
been caused by the fear of capitalists
that we were threatened with worth
less money-either silver or fat money
as they term treasury notes. But this
cablegrsm puts an entirely different
face on the subject. 1t is not the fear
of cheap money, free silver, fiat money,
anarchists, cranks, or even Populism,
that has made Johnny Bull so timid
about investing in our railroad or
trust securities, as he once used to do.
But the rascalities Of the so-called
fnanciers of our country, VIII ch not
only go unpunished, but are rewarded
by the election or appointment of the
perpetrator of gigantic frauds to posi-
tions of the highest degree of trust and
honor. Witness our senate as it has
been and is now constituted. In fact,
ss things now stand there is appsr.
emily no crime which will debar the
perpetrators from a seat in our ma
tionsl or state legislatures, or even the
highest executive or judicial positions.

public debt) This makes them perform
theofice Of money in its highest Charac-
ter Rs q legal substitute for gold and
silver.
Congress may confesssdly debRse the
coin. 1t may make the copper cent q
dollar, and perform the office Of dol
lar" This plain statement Of the power
Of congress over money was made nearly
thirty-two years ago. Yet to day many
persist in Olinging to the ideas Of money
that were in vogue during the dark
days.
Nor did Judge Smith pronounce green
backs a war measure. "The issue OF
treasury notes is warranted by the con-
stitution at al times in the discretion OF
congress-" said he. "MonOy being an
indispensable sgent and necessary to
carry great governmental and sovereign
powers into effect, the power is implied
to command, obtain and secure it by any
practicable means known or prRCticed
among civilized nations. The issue Of
treasury notes and making them legal
tender in the payment Of debts is q
proper and lawful means to that end"
Judge Johnson Of the same court used
yet stronger language: "Gold and siI-
YER are not naturally money any more
than any other metal, product or fab
rlo." This rational utterRnCe iS In
striking contrast 10 the puerile attempt
OF the Indiana supreme court about a
year later to show, In the case OF Thsyer
vs.. Hedges, that coin is "GOd's money"
Said the Hoosier judges: "Coin was the
sacred currency, as we'll as proEans, Of
the ancient world. Historically ConSid-
cred, we find that the Almighty and his
prophets and apostles were for q specie
basis, that gold and silver were the
theme OF their constant eulogy. Genesis
23:16.) So Solomon, Wiaest Of men
seems to have had decided preference
for hard money currency, ard JSre'
miah, one of the greatest prophets
q Kings 9:28, Jeremiah 1919 l0)
But to return to Judge Johnson
''They gold and silver) are made money
by law only when manufactured into
pieces Of coin of prescribed weight and
fneness and stamped with the required
inscriptions and devices. These metals
are by common consent better adapted
for use as money than any other yei
discovered. But they become money by
force and operation of law alone" THAI
sounds like "Aat"-"they become n1Ones
By force and operation of LGU GL0ne."
He continues: ut is conceded that this
power to coin money and regulate the
value thereof, is power given to con-
grsss to enact suitable laws on the sub
jeCt Of current money OF the country
But it ia insisted that the power 10 lin
