U. S. PAPER MONEY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. g.
Paper money all looks very much
alike to the man who uses it every
day for buying or selling.
AS matter of fact, however,
there is a great difference in paper
money. The gold certificate Is
very different from the silver GER
tificate, and the latter is very diff
ferent from the United States note
or national bank note. They
are all entirely different from one
another in the theory upon which
they are created.
J The gold certificate for SIS Is
worth SIS because 1t calls for a S.
gold piece or five single gold dol
lars each containing 25.S grains,

federal constitution that he be
given that amount OF gold of that
particular quality and quantity.
The government has nearly
$S00,000,000 worth Of gold coin In
Its vaults to meet just such a de.
mand.
The silver certificate, one Of the
commonest forms of paper money,
calls only for silver dollars and is
tntrinslcally less valuable than the
gold certificate. That Is, the metal
which it calls for would have less
commercial value when melted up
in the assayer's pot. Even the fact

The marvellous ease with which
he won his races made Domino as
great favorite as Colin was this
year An idea Of his ability was
furnished in the $4,000 Great

was run June 10, that year.
With several drawn, Domino,
Dobbins and Declare were the only
horses given any consideration.
Each carried 11S pounds, and Ia

mounts.
They were away to good start,

winnings were $1S2,215. In 1894
