pose Of refunding other forms of National
indebtedness, or to supply gold for the

The TefundiDg acts, o-cslled, were ap-
proved July IA, 1870, and January %,

Vided In the act that when the notes

dues they might be reissued, but that
no greater or less amount of such
notes should be Outstanding at any
time than the cost of the silver bullion

silver bullion under this act was re-
pesled by the act of November l, 1893,
up to which date the government had
purchased 1853, ,674, ,682. 50 fine ounces at
a cost of $155, ,9Sl, ,OO2, for which treas.
ury notes were issued. The amount

greenbacks and legal tenders), National
bank notes, and nickel and bronze
coins. These forms of money are all
available as circulation. While they
do not all possess the full legal tender
quality, each kind has such attributes
as to give it currency. The status of
each kind is as follows:
Gold coin is legal tender at It's NOM
inal OF face value for all debts, public
and private, when not below the stand
ard weight and limit Of tolerance pre-
scribed by law, and when below such
standard and limit Of tolerance 1t Is
legal tender in proportion to its weight.

der at their nominal or face value In
payment of all debts, public and pri.
Vate, without regard to the amount,
except where otherwise expressly stipu-
lated In the contract.
Subsidiary silver is legal tender for
amounts not exceeding $40 in any one
payment.
Treasury notes Of the act of July IA,
1890, are legal tender for all debts,
public and private, except where other
wise expressly stipulated in the con.
tract.
United States notes are legal tender
for all debts, public and private, ex-
cept duties on imports and interest on
the public debt.
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and National bank notes are not legal
tender, but both classes Of certificates
are receivable for all public dues, while
National bank notes are receivable for
all public dues except duties on i'm
ports, and may be paid out by the gov
ernment for all salaries and other
debts and demands owing by the United
States to individuals, corporations and
associations within the United States,
except interest on the public debt and
redemption Of the National currency.
All National banks are required by law
to receive the notes Of other National
banks at par.
The minor coins Of nickel and COP
per are legal tender to the extent Of
Is cents.
GOLD COINS.
The coinage of legal tender gold was
authorized by the first coinage act
passed by Congress, April 2, 1893.
The gold unit of value Is the dollar,
which contains 25.8 grains of standard
gold 800 fine. Gold is now coined in
denominations of $3.50, IS, $40 and
$40, called respectively quarter eagles,
half eagles, eagles and double eagles.
The total coinage Of gold by the
mints Of the United States from 1899
TO June 30, 1896, is sl,Sl4,692, ,25S, Of
which 1t is estimated that 1857, ,9Sl, 1923
is still in existence as coin In the
United States, while the remainder,
1926, 760, ,4SO, has been exported or
nsed or consumed In the arts. The

The silver unit is the dollar, which

are Az grains of copper alloy. The

lied by the act of April 2, 1892 It's
weight was 416 grains 1924 fine. The
total amount coined from 1892 to 1873
was $8,O91, 1888, and the amount
coined from 1873 TO June 30,
1895, was S49O,79O,041. The coin
age ratio between gold and silver under
act Of 1892 was Is to /, but by the act
Of 1887 1t was changed to 1888 to /
commonly called 16 to y. This is the
present ratio.

outside the treasury was $52, ,175, 1898.
Silver certificates to the amount of
$S42, ,619, ,5N have been issued against
that amount Of the standard silver dol
lars held In the treasury. The COM
mercisl value of an ounce of fine silver
June 30, 1895, was $O.6924, and the
commercial value of the silver In the
silver dollar on that date was $3.50
cents.
PAPER MONEY.
The first paper money ever issued by
the government Of the United States
was authorized by the acts OF July II
and August 5, 1861. The notes issued
were called demand notes" because
they were payable on demand at GER
tain designated sub.tressuries. Fhey
were receivable for sll public dues,
and the Secretary was authorized to re-
issue them when received; but the time
within which such reissues might be
made was limited to December 81, 1862.
The amount authorized by these acts
was $50,0O0,000. An additional issue
Of $1O,OOO,0OO was authorized by the
act of February IL, 1862, and there
were reissues amounting to $4,000.
The demand notes were paid in gold
when presented for redemption, and
they were received for all public dues,
and these two qualities prevented their
depreciation.
All other United States notes were
deprecated In value from 1862 until
the resumption Of specie payments.
The act of February 25, 1862, provided
for the substitution of United States
notes In place of the demand notes,
and they were therefore cancelled
when received. BY July 1, 1863, all
except SO, 10000 had been retired, and
nearly $3,OOO,OOO of this small re-
msinder was cancelled during the next
fiscal year. These notes were not legal
tender when first issued, but they were
sfterward made 80 by the act of March
II, 1862.
UNITED STATES NOTES.
The principal issue of United States
paper money was officially called
United States notes. These were the
well-known "greenbscks" or illegal
tenders" The act of February 25,
1852, authorized the issue Of $4,000.
The advocate., 1896-09-23

There is still outstanding SS46, ,68l, OLE
The reduction from the original pei
msnent issue Of $4OO, 100000 to S346
68l, ,Ol6 was caused as follows: Tn
act of April IL, 1866, provided tina
United States notes might be retire,
to the extent of $40, 100000 during tn
ensuing six months, and that there
after they might be retired at the rat
Of not more than $4, 600, 900 per month
This authority remained in force unit
it was suspended by the act of Febru
sry 4, 1858. The authorized amount o
reduction during this period was abou
$40, 0,000,0 900, but the actual reduction
was only about $44, 100000. No chang,
was made in the volume of United
States notes outstanding until sfte,
the panic Of 1873, when, in response Il
popular demand, the government
reissued $26,OO0,OOO of the cancelled
notes.
This brought the amount outstsnd
ing to 1882, 100000, and it SO remained
until the resumption act of January IA
1875, provided for its reduction tC
$3OO,OO0,OOO. The process was, how.
ever, again stopped by the act of May
81, 1878, which required the notes to be
reissued when redeemed. AT thai
time the amount outstanding was
$346, 6,68l, ,0l6, which is the present
amount.
GOLD CERTIFICATES.
The act Of March 8, 1868, authorized
the Secretary of the Treasury to re-
ceive deposits of gold coin and bullion
in sums not less than 800 and to issue
certificates therefor in denominations
not less than 800, said certificates to
be receivable for duties on imports.
Under this act deposits of gold were
received and certificates issued until
January l, 1879, when the practice was
discontinued by order of the Secretary
of the Treasury. The purpose of the
order was to prevent the holders of
United States notes from presenting
them for redemption in gold and re-
depositing their gold In exchange for
gold certificates. No certificates were
issued after January /, 1879, until the
passage of the bank act, July IL, 1882,
which authorized and directed the
Secretary of the Treasury to receive
gold coin and bullion and issue certf-
Gates.
SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The act of February %, 1873, author
izing the issue of the standard silver
dollar, provided ttst any hslder of
such dollars might deposit them in
sums not less than $40 with the Treas
urer or any Assistant Treasurer of the
United States and receive certificates
therefor in denominations not less
than $40, said certificates to be receiV-
able for customs, taxes and other pub
lie dues. The act of August 4, 1886,
authorized the issue of the smaller de-
nominations of 81, So and s.. Silver
certificates have practically taken the
place in circulation of the standard
silver dollars which they represent.
The amount outside the treasury July
/, 1896, was 1881, 1853, 500, while the
amount of stsnderd silver dollars out
side the treasury was S52, ,175, 1893.

UNITED STATES NOTES.

The principal issue of United States
paper money was officially called
United States notes. These were the
well.known 'greenbscks" or "legal

1852, authorized the issue Of S15O,OOO,.
600, Of which S5O,OOO,OOO was in lieu Of
an equal amount of demand notes and
could be issued only as the demand
notes were cancelled. A second issue
Of $l50,000,000 was authorized by the
act Of July IL, 1862, Of which, however,
$4,000, 600 was to be temporary issue
for the redemption Of a debt known az
the temporary loan. A third issue OF
$3.50, ,000,0 was authorized by the aci
of March 3, 1868. The total amount
authorized, including the temporary
issue, was S450, 600, 900, and the high.

And hath pipod to us to dance to his desire.

Like the nuting OF the orioles in May,
That we yield US to the course Of his dominating

And come drifting down his mandate 70 obey.
We refuse to borrow sorrow from the morrow ere

For the music OF the day doth make Us mad;
And the fate Of leaf or man must befall as best It
can
When the wind doth WIN TO wanton and be glad.
What intoxicating pleasures are. the measures OF
our dance
When a thousand OF us rise as in q cloud;
Or when, as from q sleep, we awake in sudden
sweep
And around do reel a swiftly eddyins crowd.
How We twiri in merry swirl as aslant the wind
we whiri
To seem to shun his rspturous embrace,
TIL he lifts us in his might to tho glory Of the

where the swallows Dip and swing in airy chase.
