THE M Bome days ago Tuz trict, was in the habit of exhibiting a five- cent nickel coin, worth intrinsically perhaps o cont,'and nsked why, it the Government, Dy its stamp, conld make that nickel worth Jire cents, it could not, by the exorciso of the samo almighty fiat power, put its stawp on n pieca of paper nnd make it worth 85. Wo commented on this ridiculous proposition, pnd showed that the nickel and copper coin- nge waa very limited in smount, and was logal-tondor only to the sum of 25 conty, and was redoomanle by the Government on de- mand in sums of $20 or more, and we natur- olly mado some sport of the nickel-flat non- sonso attributod to the aforosaid Mouvtoy, fint candidate for Congross. = BMoorroN has written a long reply, which will bo found claowhere, in which ho denies having used the language nttributed to him about the vickel coln. We give him the bonefit of his denial, Mr. Mourroy, however, takes occasion to inflict on us soveral oxtracts from some spoeches of his; and his trouble to deny the nickel atory seoms to have been uscloss, be- canso Lo roitorates the absurd assortion that the Congreas has full power to issue **fat money”; that is, sbeoluts papor scrip hav- ing no intrinsic value, containing no promise to pay whatever, and deriving ita wholo value from the stamp placed on it by act of Congress, declaring Low many *dollars” ench piece of paper is, Havivg laid claim to that flat power, MouvrroN might as well have stuck to the nickel assortion nnd claimed that it was tho stamp, and not the redemption, that gave the nickel ita fivo conts’ worth of valuo or purchasing power. As Mouzron s n candi- dato for Congress, and na ho ropresontan clasn of peoplo who:are laboring under a delusion on this subject ns strongly as ho is, we invite nttention to somo of what Le calls tho ‘‘strong points " of hia argumont, Ho points to the power of the Governmont to coin, or issuo monoy, of a partly astificial value,—ns silver, copper, ote.,—and this power existing, asks where docs it cense. Why may not the Governinont, ho snys, fssuo paper ** dollars,” and maintain for them an artificial and logal value? In snpport of his theory om this subjoct be citea some remarks made by Judge Strena in the Legal-Tender cases, in his opinion given in that case, In the cxtract quoted the Court was discussing whether tho phrase to * coin money," aven if construed litorally as defining the materinl 1o bo coinod ns metal, did not leave Congress a largo discretion, and the Judge sdded, im- mediately, “Wa do not, however, rest our asscrtion of the power of Congress to enact logal-tonder Inws upon this grant.” It must bo borne in mind that logal-tender Treasury notes aro promiss lo pay dol- lara to tho Loldor, the payment to be in the futuro at o time to be fixed by Con- gress. ‘Thero was no quostion beforoe the Court ns to tho powor of Congress to make & paper pote containing no promise to pay a dollar in redemption thereof; it was nota question of power to issuo nbiolate or fiat pnper moucy, or stawp valuo on pieces of poper, that the Cowrl was consider- ing.
