"THE MONEY OF THE CONSTITU
TION." Congress shall have power to coin
jmoney, regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coin, and fix the
standard of weights and measures.
(Art. I. Sec. 8 Subdiv 5.) No state
hall coin money, emit bills
of credit, make anything but gold
ana silver com a tender in payment
of debts ; pass any law i
pairing the obligation of contracts.
(Art. I. Sec. 10 Subdiv 1.) The
. above are the only constitutional pro
visions relating to the money or
coinage questions. Nowhere does it
declare what shall be money, what
metal shall be used for coinage pur
poses whether, one, two or three
metals nor what shall be the rela
tive weight, fineness or value of the
oins, should more than one metal be
used. Neither gold, silver or copper
Is mentioned in that section of the
constitution which authorizes con
gress to coin money. Iron money,
if we had anj would be just as truly
"money of the constitution" as silver
or gold.
Congress shall regulate the value
of the coin it may mint. The con
stitution nowhere indicates that con
gress shall, may or can regulate the
relative value in case two or more
metals are used. Congress has never
attempted to do this, although it has
-several times declared what amount
of gold, silver, nickel or copper the
respective coins shall contain, and to
what extent these coins shall be a
lawful lender for the paj'tnent of an
obligation.
No state shall make anything but
gold and silver coin a tender in pay
ment of debts. Congress has the ex
clusive power to declare what shall
ba a legal tender. Nothing m the
constitution requires congress to
make both gold and silver a legal
tender. It has frequently declared
different kinds of money gold, sil
ver, nickel, copper and United States
notes a legal tender : but the latter
were never made a legal tender for
any obligations except those to the
United States until the Act of Feb
, Tuary 26, 1862.
We have heard it urged that con
gress could not make gold or silver a
- legal tender because the constitution
eays "gold and silver." The consti
tution says nothing as to what con-
cress may declare to be a legal ten
der, but does prohibit any state from
making anything but gold and silver
legal tender. The legal tender quaf-

ity of all our money has always been,
determined by congress. Aay laws
which the states may have passed has
not affected this quality.
A gentleman of average intelli
gence, who has read less than he has
heard, recently said in our presence :
"I believe in the free coinage of sil
ver at 16 to 1 because the constitu
tion so directs." As a matter of fact,
there is no '-money of the constitu
tion" within the meaning of the.Pop
ocrat and Populist.
If the election of McKinley could
be today assured, money, that is now
hoarded for fear of a change In the
value of the legal tender, would seek
employment and go into circulation,
investments would be in demand,
county and state obligations would
no longer hunt a buyer. If the elec
tion of Bryan was today assured,
gold would go to a premium and out
of circulation immediately, and vre
would be doing business from now
on upon a silver basis. Open ac
counts would be paid in a depreciated
silver currency and most of the
mortgages upon lands in this state
would have to be paid in gold
bought at a premium. Merchants
who have extended credit to any
considerable degree would be com
pelled to go into insolvency.
These results would come imme
diately and without the alteration of
a law or even the assembling of con-
Slayor Pennoyer promised a "busi
ness administration." He was elected
because he and his friends claimed
that he would so manage the city's
affairs as to give the best possible
service at the least expense to the
taxpayers. His best friends must
concede he has not and is not do
ing as he piomised. Possibly he has
been lead from the path of integrity
and honest, efficient government by
the corrupting influence of the spoils
More probably he is Pennoyer's true
self a demagogue, regardless of the
rights and truest interests of the peo
pie of Portland as he is of his prom
ises to the voters made before elec
tion.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon 'the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting: nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have bo much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for - list of
