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.

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.
