fact hat the subject is now under dis.
cussion and made Il leading feature OF
the campaign IN certain States.
Ten Kinds Of Money Described.
The description given Of the various
kinds of money and their relation and
legal tender qualities is as follows:
There arc ten different kinds of
money in circulation in the United
States, namely, gold coin, standard sill
yer dollars, subsidiary silver, gold GER
tifcatcs, silver certificates, treasury
notes issued under the act Of July /,
1890, Uuited States notes (also called
legal greenbacks and legal tenders), ma
tional 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 at
tributes as 10 give it currency. The
status Of each kind is as follows:
"Gold coin is legal tender at It's NOM
inal or face value for all debts, public
and private, when not below the stand
ard of weight and limit Of tolerance
prescribed by law; and when below
such standard and limit OF tolerance it
IS legal tender in proportion TO It's
weight.
STANDARD silver dollars are legal
tender at their nominal or face value
In payment Of all debts, public aud pri-
vate, without regard to the amount. ex-
cept where otherwise expressly stipu-
-iateaia~sAsa eontraet.wa-~~-emssesr~FHr
Subsidiary silver Is legal tender for
amounts not exceeding sic In any one
payment.
Treasury notes Of the act of July IA,
1890. are legal tender for all debts, pub
lie and private, except where otherwise
expressly stipulated to the contrary.
United States notes are legal tender
for all debts, public and private, except
duties on imports and interest on pub
lie 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
eminent 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
In redemption Of the national currency.
All national banks are required by law
to receive the notes Of other national
banks at par.

The discussion Of gold and silver
brings out an Interesting state
thus officially made regarding

Of the gold coins says:

Very Satisrnctnrv

Considering that the Dingley law
found the warehouses and shelves of
the country crowded with foreign
goods when il went into o~peraiiou..i ts
second month Is proving very satisfac-
tory and gratifying. The receipts for
the month will, it Is expected, surpass
those Of the corresponding month In
the history Of the Wilson law, although
that law had the advantage of the rev.
enues from large quantities of foreign
goods which were held back prior to
Its enactment and rushed into the cou..
try as soon as 1t went upon the statute
books, while precisely the reverse con-
dltlons prevailed when the Dingley law
went into operation. The deficit in the
second month Of the Wilson law was
over $13. 10000, while in the second
month Of the Dingley law there will he
little, II any, deficit. There Is every rca-
son to believe that the Dingley law will
provide sufficient revenue to meet all
running expenses when matters rsume
their normal condition.

When Jersey City recently paved
some of It's streets with asphalt, Il G
work was no sooner done than the
drivers Of brewery wagons and other
heavy vehicles fell upon those streets
and cut them to pieces With their
wheels. So it has been necessary to
enforce a rule like that which prevails
in other first-class cities-to-wit. that
trucks and heavily loaded wagons must
either seek less frequented ways CT
they must be mounted upon wheels
that have wide tires.
