the article to be delivered is named by
them. Is anything more needed? II
EoHth has contracted to deliver 100
pounds of butter to Jones, does Smith
need an act of legal tender to tell him
what he must deliver? Is it not per-
Yectly obvious that delivery of what
is named in the contract is the evident
and only fultillment Of the contract?
The principle does not change if the
contract calls for certain quantity of
metal. If Smith has contracted to de-
liver certain weight of silver of a GER
tain quality, is not that amount of sill
yer the full and only performance of
the contract? Can it make any differ
euce il Smith and Jones by language
they both understand have called this
certain quantity of silver by the name
100 quods? The performance or full
fillment of the contract to deliver goods
is. the delivery of the very goods speci-
fed; nothing more, nothing less. A
sufficient tender on such "A contract is
the performance carried as far as it may
be without the acceptance of the per-
Torrance by the creditor. What this
sufficient tender is is therefore pointed
by the terms of the contract which
designate the performance. This tender
and onlu this tender should be recog
nized by the law as legal tender, or q
sufficient tender in law on the con-
tract.
GAS the present lamentable condition
of the representative money of the world
has been brought about by the indul-
gence in the intoxication of legal ten
der laws the remedy seems most natu-
rally to be the repeal of the legal ten
der laws the gradual redemption of the
superfluous representative money and
the substitution of other and better
forms of nonlegal tender representative
money TO supply tho place of the pres
ent legal tender stuff SO far as is need
ed.
Sin accordance with the principles
herein enunciated u sound monetary
system will provide for the free coinage
of gold. 1t may also provide for the free
coinage of silver and any other metals
that business men may actually wish to
use as standards, but not at any legal
tender ratio bCtlcCCn the metals. Each
metal will simply be stamped, under
perfectly distinct names for the pieces,
ms to is weight and quality and left to
pass for its own market value, SO that
on contract the only legally sufficient
discharge or tender shall be the metal
named i'll contract If, then, business
men see fit to draw their contracts gen,
orally for ono metal i'll preference to
another, no one can find fault, and ex.
listing debts, which have been made OF
the faith and credit Of the gold dollar
of %. % grains of fine gold, will be ann
ply protected. In order that the govern
ment may not seem to throw its lnhu-
ence for the use of either metal in par
ticular it may be well to provide that
the government will receive both met
als iudiscriminately for their market
values at the time of receipt"

The fall Of silver to the very bottom
will not stop the fiat money movement,
but it will bring back many an honest
believer in sound money who was led
by specious pleas to believe that it was
possible for the United States not only
10 arrest the fall Of silver, but TO double
its value by coming the white metal

real fight is between sound money and
