GOLD NOTES MUST BE PAID IN
GOLD.
The question is frequently asked
whether the,agreement to pay in gold
coin can be enforced when silver and
currency are both legal tender.
Section 3211 of Hill's Code pro
vides that the courts of this state
when giving judgment in a written
contract for the payment of gold
coin or any other kind of mone3
specified in the' contract, shall ad
judge that the principal and interest
.be paid in the kind of money speci
fied. .::. :
The U. S. supreme court, in Bron
son vs. Kodes. 7 "Wallace, 229, says:
-A con tf act to pay a certain number
of dollars in gold or silver coins is,
therefore, in legal , import, nothing
else than an agreement to deliver a
certain weight of standard gold, to
be ascertained by a count of coins,
each of which is certified lo contain
a definite proportion of that weight,
It is not distinguishable, as wo think,
in principle, from a contract to de
liver an equal weight of bullion of
equal fineness."
Ihe contract referred to ,in that
case was made in 1851 and called for
payment 'in gold and silver coin,
lawful money of the United States,
ine aeotor tendered payment in
1865 In legal tender U. S. notes.
The same doctrine has been .de
clared by the United States supreme
court in three different cases since
toe one referred to, and by the su
preme courts of California, Ohio,
Texas, Nevada, Illinois and other
states. The Statute of Oregon gov
erns all contracts made or which may
be made while it stands. - Its repeal
could not affect contracts made while
it is in force, and debtors who vote
fot Brj-an because , they believe it
will be easier to pay their debts will
find that they have been deluded.
Gold will go to a premium as sure as
Bryan is elected, and that, too, im
mediately. Prices will rise gradually
as to everything except ; gold and
men who are today owing for their
homes and farms will find it not
easier, but very much harder to meet
their obligations.
Chief Justice Chase, a man who
was never accused of being under
the control of Wall street or British
gold, in 1869, in the case of Bronson
vs. Rodes, elsewhere cited, said that
a contract payable in U. S. gold or
silver coin, is, in legal import, an
agreement that the debtor should de
liver to the creditor a certain weight
78 Second Street.
of gold or- silver of a. certain fine
ness.. Such a contraet is not dis
tinguishable fn principle from a con
tract to delrver an equal weight of
bullion of equal fineness. Referring.
to the legislation concerning coinage
he'1 says: "The design v of all this
minuteness and strictness in the reg
ulation of coinage is easily seen-" It
indicates the intention of the legisla
ture to give a sure guaranty to the
people that the coins made current in
payments contain the" precise weight
of gold or silver of the precise de
gree of purity declared by the stat
ute. It recognizes the fact, accepted
by all men throughout the world,
that value is inherent in the precious
metals; that gold and silver are jn
themselves values, and being' such,
and being in other respects best
adapted to the purpose, are the only
proper measure Of values; that these
VALUES AEE DETERMINED BY WEIGHT
and purity, and that form and im
press are simply certificates of value
worthy of absolute reliance only be
eause of the known integrity and
good faith of the government which
gives them." When Chief Justice
Chase said that the "above was ac
cepted by all men he bad never
heard of a Popocrat or Populist.
Tne Times-Mountaineer a few
days 'ago quoted from one , of Sena
tor Mitchell's speeches made last Jan
uary, and expressed . a curiosity to
know what the senator would' have to
say at "Woodburn. Senator Mitchell,
in his "Woodburn speech, addresses
himself to those in the Republican
party who believe in both silver and
gold as standards, and points out to
them with great clearness the neces
sity of remaining; with the party
whose administration of public affairs
in the past made this the greatest and
most . progressive nation on earth.
Now we in our turn wonder how the
Times-Mountaineer can reconcile its
present position with that of April of
this year.
Patrick Henry Winston evidently
never saw Vermont. In a speech at
Spokane, a few days ago ; he stated
that he was only surprised that the
Republican vote of Vermont was so
small. ' That as it is a state of money
lenders and corporations nothing
could be expected but' a large gold
vote. Vermont is neither a corpora
tion nor a money lending state. It
is more entirely a farming state than
any in New England. It has no large
cities, but it has a very large intelli
gent farmer population, and hence
its large vote against Populism.
' Bryan says one day that they are
not trying to give the . people cheap
money, but that free coinage will
raise the price of silver to $1.29 per
ounce. The next day he says: VThe
great principle is tnat tne value or a
dollar depends upon the number of
dollars. You have to learn that
scarce money means dear money." ;
, The national debt was paid off at
the average rate of about seventy-
two million dollars pe'r annum from
1870 to 1893 "and' in 1893 we had. a
surplus in the treasury of $2,341,674.
Since March 1, 189.3, there has been
paid on the national ' debt not one
cent.
Bryan has been in "the' enemy's
country." If McKinley would travel
lrom the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the great .lakes to the gulf he
would be unable to find any enemy's
country. . ,-

LATIN AND GERMAN TAUGHT.
, GERMAN.
The undersigned desires to organize a class In
German. Every American citizen who can af
ford both time and expense ought to be master
of at least two languages. .The German language
ha- many advantages over modern laneuuge on
account of ber profound literature in all branch
es of ancient and modern science produced in
her world-renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these inexhaustible and yet
unadtilteiated fountains of knowledge, mu-t
master the language which contains the key to
them. - The undersigned will organize a class in
German, and will begin with actual work on the
first day of September. The class will meet two
or three times a week in the evening or when
most convenient to the i upils. Rapid progress
guaranteed to those who will get down to earn
est labor. All who desire to participate in this
woik will please announce their intention to
the undenlgned at an early date, aa the class
will be limited to a certain number. Charges
will be very reasonable.
- - - . ... " LATIN. ." (-
The undersigned will also organize a class In
Latin. There are so many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond a
common school education should take at least a
conrse in Latin, that probably everybody is fa
miliar with at least some of -them. 1 will not
take space here to speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor of the many advantages in
life possessed by those who have mastered it. I
will here oulv announce my intention to organ
ize a c ass in Latin. Rapid progress guaranteed
to those who will work hard, charges very rea
sonable. All desiring instruction in Latin are
kindly requested to announce their intention to
tbe undersigned before September, if possible.
Awaiting your application, I am, very respect
fully yours. : - L. GREY,
