UNITED STATES MONEY.
There Are Ten Kinds on Uncle Sams’
Official List.
Officially there are just ten kinds
of money in circulation in the Unit
ed States. Could you name them
all off hand? Do you know which of
those besides gold coin are legal
tender and in what amount? It may
be that “all money looks alike to
you,’’ but there’s a difference, and
below is the list:
Gold coins, standard silver dollars,
subsidiar - silver, gold certificates,
silver certificates, treasury notes
(1890) United States notes (green
backs), national bank notes, nickel
coins and bronze coins.
Looking upon the formidable clas
sification of United States money as
made by the treasury department, it
becomes more formidable when it is
considered from the highly technical
point of view as a legal tender. Some
of the most imposing of the paper
currency is not a legal tender at all,
while as to the minor coins, they are
legal tender in such small amounts
as to startle the average layman. It
may be well to recall to this layman
that the term "legal tender” owes
its significance to the fact that in
payment of debt or obligation of any
kind it can be forced upon
the creditor “in full of all demands.”
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which
such enormous numbers circulate
everywhere, are not legal tender. If
you have plenty of money and if you
force Jones to sue you
in order to get judgment Jones can
turn down every one of these bills
tendered in payment and force you
to dig up something better.
Should Jones do such a thing you
might conceive the idea of fixing
him by unloading a whole lot of sil
ver coins upon him. But you want
to know what you’re doing there, too,
for he’ll only take $lO worth of
halves, quarters, and dimes, while
of nickels and copper cents only 25
cents value is legal tender.
But as to the standard silver dol
lar, there’s no limit upon your shov
eling them out to Jones. This old
“dollar of our dads” still is the real
thing in all business transactions un
less some clause in a contract has
provided otherwise. Jones may re
fuse the silver certificate, but when
you dig up the metal dollar they gc
unquestioned at their face value. And
1,000 of them weigh 58.92 pounds.
Treasury notes of the act of 1890
are legal tender to their face value
in payment of all debts, public and
private, unless expressly stipulated
in the contract.
Strictly speaking, the United States
notes or greenbacks are legal tender,
with the exception of duties on im
ports and interest on the public debt.
Practically however, since the resum
tion of specie payment in 1870, green
backs have been received freely and
without question by the government
though the law respecting them hasn’t
been changed.
While the gold and silver certifi
cates are not legal tender as between
individuals, both issues are receiva
ble for all government dues of what
ever kind, in this respect legally mon
acceptable than is the greenback-
National bank notes, while hot le
gal tender and not receivsftf,e for
duties on imports, still may b>e paid
by the government for salaries and
ail debts of the government excep
interest dues and in redemption o
national currency.—Chicago Tribnuc.

LIQUOR SHIPPING LAW
EFFECTIVE JANUARY IST.
New Federal Statute Will Put C. 0.
D. Orders Under the Ban.
Washington, D. C. —After Jan. 1,
express companies, railroad companies
and other common carriers will be
very careful about accepting liquor
for shipment into prohibition states
and local option counties where li
quor is under the ban.
In the act to codify, revise and
amend the penal laws of the United
States, which becomes effective Jan.
1, there is a provision which imposes
a fine of not more than $5,000 on any
officer, agent or employe of any rail
road, express company or other com
mon carrier who knowingly “deliv
ers to any person other than the per
son to whom the liquor has been
consigned, unless upon the written or
der in each instance of the bona fide
consignee, in states where prohiliitiot
prevails.”
In addition to the fine, the offend
er may be imprisoned for not more
than two years. The act also impos
es a fine of not more than $5,000
and the liquor company express com
pany or other common carrier "or
any other person collects the purchase
price or any part thereof, before, on
or after delivery from the consignee
or from any other person, or shall
in any way acts as the agent of the
buyer or seller of, any liquor.”
And all liouor thus shipped into
prohibition States must te plainly
marked with the name of the consign
ee, the nature of the contents of the
package and the quantity contained.
A failure to do this makes the effend
er subject to a fine or not more than
$5,000 and the liquor will be seized
and condemned by the government.
In the opinion c' the law officers
of the government, the amendm -nt to
the penal code will make elective
the state laws which prohibit the sal«
of liquors within the states that
■ forbid the sale and manufacture of
spiritous or malt liquors. Under ex
isting conditions the laws are such
, that it is an easy matter to get li
quor into states where it is forbid
den by means of the interstate com
| tnerce law, as the police power of
I the prohibition states is powerless to
I stop railroad and express companies
or other common carriers or per
sons from acting as agents for those
who want liquor to sell on the quiet.
There are now pending in' the house
and senate bills to amend the inter
state commerce law that have for
their object the exclusion of liquor
from the states where prohibition
I prevails, but it is said by the best
1 lawyers in congress that, it will
| not be necessary to enact further
1 not be necessary to enact further leg
islation. While the law does not
make it obligatory on the government
to notify the railroad companies, ex
press companies or other common car
riers, it is not. improbable that cir
culars containing excerpts of the
new law will be forwarded to the.
i interested partie.s Reports of the
I various state temperance associations
: intend, it is said, to keep a careful
watch on the express companies and
railroads to see that the law is not
violated.
