TEE governments contract in re.

The governments contract in re-
spect of its treasury notes, is to redeem
them with coin. Since the day the
was organized, silver
money has always been considered as
coin. The question of an increase or
decrease In the intrinsic value of the
metal of which the coin is made is not
a factor in the contract. If a man sells
a horse for 800, payable year from
date of sale, and during that time the
horse either increases or decreases in
value, the face of the vote must be
paid. There is no law, human or d.
