kept in mind that the act of March ID,

1900, specifically enacts (sec. 81
That nothing contained in this act
shall be construed to affect the legal
tender quality, as now provided by law,
of the silver dollar, or of any other
money coined or issued by the United
States.
"That is, the act of February 2S, 1873,
which made the silver dollars "a legal
Silver ,e,s, rsnasr tender, at their
nominal value, for
all debts, public and private, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract" is still in operation. The
outcome is a visible attempt to sit OH
two stools in one word to declare that
the gold dollar shall be the standard
unit of value, aud in another to declare
that the silver dollar shall remain an un-
limited legal tender. The political leger-
demain in this depends upon the in
ability of the public to separate the as.
signment of legal tender quality to the
standard Gn which prices and contracts
are expressed) from the assignment of
it to token money (Which should be
redeemable in the standard money! Be-
cause the standard money is made legal
tender, it does not follow that q medium
of exchange should have that quality
(such, for example, as checks and
drafts.)
"The lodging of the standard issue in
regard to government obligations cannot
be excused on the ground of inadver-
tence. The House Bill (sec p reads:
"That all interest bearing obligations
of the United States for the payment of
money, now existing or hereafter to be
entered into shall be deemed
and held to be payable in the gold coin
of the United States as defined in sec.
tion of this act
"These words did not appear in the
senate bill, and were excluded from the
conference bill. In short, for political
reasons, the senate leaders advisedly
chose to change the currency measure
that large part of our national obliga-
tions were payable in silver; while
scheming for votes in the East on the
ground of having established the gold
standard, it would be possible to ask for
votes in the Rocky Mountain states on
the ground of having preserved the
right to pay large part of the bonds in
silver. 1t must be said, therefore, that
the new legislation establishes the pay
ment in gold of only part of our gov
ernment obligations (and also that this
amount depends upon how far they are
refunded into the new twos.)

the gold standard is in any more danger

AS every one knows the word coin
allowed an uncertainty as to whether

could be paid in silver dollars (of 3711
grains pure silver) or in gold dollars (of
1922 grains pure gold). This uncertain
ty in regard to United States bonds
seriously affected their value, and was
one strong reason why new legislation
was thought to be necessary to remove
all doubt. II may, therefore, be
shock to some trusting people to be told
that, in spite of the new law, silver
loving Secretary of the Treasury could
today pay off very large amounts of
government obligations with silver dol
lars. If free silver president were to
enter the White House in 1901, there
would probably be large amount of
obligations which could then be paid in

LAUGHLIN ON THE
CURRENCY LAW.

c.1n,,rN.,v ber of the Journal
of Political Econ
omy Professor j. Laurence Laughlin, of
the chair of political economy of the
University of Chicago, contributes a
strong paper pointing out the danger to
our financial system of the election of a
free silver president, Notwithstanding
the new currency law.
GAS regards the establishment of the
gold standard, "says Professor Laughlin,
"not only has practically nothing been
introduced into the stu alton by this
bill, but we have in general no new
means of maintaining the standard
which we did not have before the law
was passed. If there had been possible
danger from silver before March ID,
1900, the same danger still exists
If the new law is to be effective in
establishing the gold standard it must
be administered by officials in sympathy
with it. About this, the Journal of
Commerce makes the following observa
ton: "We do not doubt the efficacy of
the law in the hands Of it's friends. If
Mr.. Altgeld were secretary of the treas
ury and Mr.. Champ Clark were attorney
general, who will undertake to say that
they would construe the law as Mr..
Gage does?"
ut has been repeated by the public
press" says Professor Laughlin, land
Recent Monetary assume ss1.r cd .1,.nyI by the h'e
Legislation. ooun'iy oniony on
the basis of reports
emanating from Washington, that the
act of March IA, 1900, whatever may
have been it's shortcomings in other
directions, has at least firmly established
the gold standard in the United States.
The belief is generally prevalent that
the election of president pledged to
the cause of free silver would no longer
be source of danger to our monetary
system, because the gold standard has
been placed by the new legislation be-
yond the reach of executive control
that the mere action of future Secre-
tary of the Treasury hostile to gold
could not cause public or private obliga-
tions to be paid in silver; and that no.
thing could now be done for silver ex.
cept by new and positive legislation, a
contingency which would be impossible
so long as the senate and the executive
favor gold. Hence we are assured that
we may rest free from all danger of the
"silver ISSUE" which we hear on all
sides is now "dead." On the strength
of this belief, political lines are being
drawn, and plan of campaign is being
formed. That there has been subtle
game of politics played with our recent
monetary legislation through the in
fuence of the senate is Enthusiastically
clear and is nothing unusual or sur
prising. But it is not certain that the
