December, 1891 as follows: That when any of
the United States notes presented for re-
dcmption in gold and redeemed In gold such

duty. If the holder of the United States note
prefers the gold and gets it from the Govern
ment he should not receive back from the Coy

Baldwin owns a farm in Bloomfield,
valued at $4,000, and upon which
Baker holds a mortgage for 1880.
The mortgage was obtained by as,
alignment from it's original holders.
December ID, 1897, and there was due
in interest and principal upon the
mortgage 1894. In payment Baldwin
rendered Baker 364 silver dollars,
which he refused to accept. Baker
at once began steps to toreclose the
mortgage. Baldwin filed q bill in
ohancery, asking that the mortgage
be discharged, inasmuch as he had
rendered the payment to Baker. Mr.
Baker filed a lengthy answer in re-.
ply, covering all the points of the
coinage laws. In it he quoted the
coinage law passed by Congress on
February IL, 1873, providing that the
standard gold dollars should be the
