In force in Canada for half q century,
The dominion government can declare
the gold coin Of any other country legal
tender at their bullion value as com.
pared with the American gold dollar
and the English sovereign. 1t would be
still simpler with all gold coins based

thereof.

about 40 cents, which could be easily
adjusted as two francs, and the Danish
