later emerged in all it's distinctive
meaning iii 1861. The Congress
passed an act providing for issu-
ance of S50,000000 of Treasury
notes. The northern banks, busy
boarding gold since the start of
the war, suspended gold payments
Dec. 80 Of that year. The destiny
of the nation was in the balance,
but the bankers were determined
not to pay out their gold for
doubtful government notes.
The Congress had to resort to
printing press money. A total OF
s346,68i 900 OF greenbackS was put
in circulation, a purely fiat cur
rency not redeemable in gold.
The Legal Tender Act Of 1862
made this fiat money acceptable
at par in payment for govern
ment bonds, but the bankers had
inserted a clause specifying that
the government would not use the
greenbacks in paying interest on
bonds or notes, which shall be
paid in coin"
That amendment was the gold
clause in embryo. Under the law
as it stood the government still
could pay bond principals in legal
tender. The act stated that the
greenbacks were lawful money
and legal tender for all debts,
public and private, within the
United States except duties on i'm
ports and interest on aforesaid"
The lobbying bankers, using a
contant threat that they would
cease marketing bonds payable in
regal tender, got the Congress to
pass an additional act March 8.
1868, providing that both interest
and principal would be paid in
coin. Coin, of course, Signified
gold. The gold clause, as such,
appeared for the first time in No
vember, 1865, when the govern
ment issued gold treasury certif-
Gates Of Indebtedness.
NOW, the greenbackS had be-
y gun depreciating in value
two months after the first issue.
In 1864 a dollar of the paper
money was at one time worth
only IS cents of gold. When the
war was over the northern states
were confronted with the issue
of whether debts contracted be-
fore the Legal Tender Act could
be paid in the deprecated paper.
There were eight years of dis
location and uncertainty. The
Commissions of the time culminat-
ed in the crash of Black Friday.
Sept. "a, 1869, when Jay Gould
and Jim Fisk attempted to corner
the free gold supply of the nation,
estimated at about S20,000,000. In
a few hours that day they drove
the price Of the gold dollar, stated
in greenbacks, from S1.40 to S1.60.
Hundreds of firms were ruined
and thousands of individuals.
A few months later, on Feb.
7, 1870, the United States Supreme
Court handed down a decision.
four to three, declaring the Legal
Tender Act unconstitutional and
ruling that all debt contracts en-
tered into before that act were
payable in gold. The decision was
written by Chief Justice Salmon
P. Chase. The Chief Justice had
been Secretary of the Treasury
when the greenbackS were issued.
He was now, as a jurist, taking a
position exactly opposed to the
position he had taken as a men,

CONSTIPATION
Can be Helped!
Use Dhaf D0cfovs S4ol
Use lOhGt Doctors dO)

Why do the bowels usually move
regularly and thoroughly, long after
a physician has given you treatment
for constipation?
Because the doctor gives a liquid
laxative that can always be taken in
the right amount. You can gradually
reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is
the secret Of real and safe relief from
constipation.
Ask your doctor about this. Ask
your druggist how popular liquid
laxatives have become. The right
liquid laxative gives the right kind
of help, and the right amount of help.
When the dose is repeated, instead of
more each time, you take less. Until
the bowels are moving regularly and
thoroughly without any help at all.
The liquid laxative generally used
is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t
contains SIENNA and cascara, and
these are natural laxatives that form
no habit = even in children. Your
