Unfortunate' ly tba telegraphic report does not gtv particulars enongk to. afford the basis of safe opinion aa to Its merits.

Pos albly there is mora politic than law back of It, Buver" la, under the law. a legal tender for aU debts except where other wise stipulated la the contract. If tha contract mentioned ta tha Detroit salt calla for payment ta gold, tka question would be very different from that pre sented if It were simply payable ta dollars, or ta current funds. It is not stated, however, that the mortgage debt la payable In gold, and the statement that the suit Involves the constitution ality of tha Bland-Alllaoa act rather implies that It Is not. Then, again, it Is not stated whether this debt waa Incurred before ar after tba paaaaga af tha act af im.

Mr. Baker, however, ta his answer says that Congress has no mora power to change the number of grains fa a gold or silver dollar, aa to pre-existing contracts, than It has to change the number of grains in an ounce or the number of Inches in foot. This does not seem relevant as to the act of 1S7S, which did not chance tha number of grains la the gold or silver dollar at all. but merely provided for coining stiver dollars, and made them legal tender for all debts except where otherwise stipulated. It left tka num ber of grains in the dollar the same as before, but provided a new dollar of Inferior bunion value, which might be used In paying debts.

This dollar had not been coined between 173 and lTTS, and had not been coined at an prior to U7S In any. considerable quantity, al though nominally admitted to free coinage. This waa not a change in tha number af grains, but practically the creation of a new dollar, which had not existed between 1171 and UTS. The answer of Mr. Baker, therefore, so far a Quoted, does not appear to put this point property ta Issue.

Tka contention aa to the power of Con gress to change tka standard of value. or tba currency ta which payment la ta ba made, as to pre-existing contracts, is handicapped by the decision of the Bu- Court rendered nearly thirty years ago. How that decision was se cured la an old story and need not ba retold. That this decision and the act oa which It waa based waa tba origin of tha greatest number of our morvtary troubles admits of no doubt. Wht a tba net of IMS making United States notes legal tender for tha payment of debts was passed, tba country waa on tha gold staadard.

and contracts were either explicitly or tmpUdtly payable In gold. To be 'sore. aUver-doUara-wera. bylaw a legal tender, but there were 'very few ta tha country, and those that were here ware worth IXftS to CM cents each. The greenbacks declined to about thlrty-flve eeata measured In gold, and a till lower Pleasured In silver, but in those days one heard little of silver exoept subsidiary coin.

Tba depreciation of greenbacks from IMS to 1ST waa measured In gold. Tba changing! the currency ta which debts might be paid from coin to paper promises to pay. which promise for tba time being waa violated, wrought great hardship ta creditors. They re ceived payment of their debts ta a cur rency of far leas purchasing power than that ta existence when tba debt waa eon tracted. Some of them denied the right of Congress to pass the act.

and tha leg lalatloa lasted for years. Tha Federal Constitution forbade the Statea ta make anything but gold and attver legal tender for tha payment of debts. It contained no such prohibition aa ta the Federal Government. Why? We think it. inconteatably.

to ba the correct answer to this question that the Federal Government waa one of dele gated powers, aad no power had been delegated to make anything but gold and silver legal tender, or otherwise to im pair tha obligation of contracts. Tba Statea possessed this power or claimed to it, or it would not have been neo- ta prohibit It ta the Constitution. Tba theory waa that such a power ought not ta exist anywhere. Tba Statea did not delegate It to tba Federal Govern ment, and by adopting the Constitution they surrendered that power for them- aetven, Tha power to Impair the obligation of cob tracts, therefore, waa annihilated la our system by the adoption of tba Constitution. After much vacillation tha Supreme Court, at a time when the powers af tka Federal Government were unduly exalt ed, refused to accept this view of the Constitution and upheld tba right of Congress ta do what it pleased with con.

tracta This carries with it the power to change tka standard at any time and ta any manner, though, of course, it does not affect the queatioa of the policy or justice of doing so. Before tka Supreme Court could sustain ths claim that taa act of 1171 remonetlalng silver was un constitutional. It would ba necessary to overrule soma of tba legal tender decis ions. Tha court has already nullified soma of tha decisions rendered In tha period following the war, notably that in regard to tba Income tax Wa do rot mean that tha former decision was ex pressly overruled, but simply that tha court teid down 'different doctrine In tka later from tkat which controlled tba earlier decisions. Under tka present system, by which sJl forms of: currency ara kept at a parity, ao ona la wronged by being paid la silver dollars, though ha may be sub-jacted to aome Inconvenience.

With rare exceptions, the right to pay large sums In silver la not insisted on by debtors." Other mora convenient, forma of currency Are as easily obtained aa liver. Small soma ara paid in surer i THE COURIER-JOURNAL. LOUISVILLE. UESDAY MORNING, FEfiRUXRT 8, dollars, but only alight inconvenience tf any at all results from this. If there were aay considerable difference ta tba purchasing power of tha various kinds of currency, there of coun ba discrimination, but ao long an the parity la maintained.

bankers and business men do not cars to Incur tha hostility of their customer by thrust ing on them mora silver than they ara willing ta take. A certain quantity la needed for change, while rest re mains in the Treasury and la represent- ed by certificates. It seems doubtful, therefore, whether the Detroit case Is ona of such a nature aa to call for a reeonaideraUon. of the legal tender decision. That this ques tion win ultimately coma before tha Supreme Court for review is, however.

extremely probable. sTrporT sons ErrraTiTsrs. The New York Journal of Commerce has sent a special correspondent on tour through the cotton factories of the South. It baa been his purpose to ascer tain If the South really has exceptional advantagea over the North from a man ufacturing point of view. His opinion la that tha dlff eraucee have been ex aggerated, bat some of hia eonclualona are interesting.

Ha appears to ba more pleased with Atlanta than with any other Southern manufacturing city. In tha coarse af hia last letter he says, in speaking of tha way tha factories there have cut Into Northern; sates: "Tour correspondent took advantage of this to visit several of the lea fling stores aad found them ta srraagemeat and gam ers! anpointmeata quite the equal af tha hetoree In tba larger cities af the Narth.

He not only show that Atlanta's factories ar prosperous as we knew before, but that the cl tlx ens of Atlanta patronise their home institutions. No wonder the city Is growing so rapidly. The towa that believea ta home enterprises al ways flourishes. It ought to ba true of all kinds of trade.

Our merchants and mechanics aa well aa our manufacturers should get the advantage of local trade. Not a dollar need be seat out of town unless there is too great a discrepancy ta prices. The proper way to do la to encourage only those manufacturing enterprises for which ths location la adapt ed and then givs them aU poaaible sup port.
