Salmon P. Chase and money.

The article states that Chief Justice Chase ruled that certain parts of the legal tender measures were unconsitutional.

The point here is that Salmon P. Chase did not support fiat money. He introduced it as a crises measure during the Civil War - not with the view to make it part of the American scene. To write of the introduction (as the article does)as a great achievement is an OPINION (and not the opinion of Salmon P. Chase). As for Chase being on the old ten thousand Dollar bill - this is a similar thing to President Andrew Jackson (another "hard money" man) being on a bill - neither person would have regarded it as an honour (rather the reverse).

Secretary of the Mint? Do we mean Secretary of the Treasury, or Treasurer of the United States? Anonymous, can you give us more detail in these many, many articles you're creating? -- Zoe

Is her name "Kate," or is that short for something? Did she have a middle name? Is she worthy of her own Wikipedia article? How about her two suitors? --clawson

[edit] Link to "Money Masters"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seemed out of place. I removed it, but we may certainly discuss.--TurabianNights 13:22, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chase and Lincoln

I'm suprised more has not been made of Chase's ambitions to be president and how he spent a lot of his time while acting and tresurer trying to secure support for himself and how he worked quit ehard agaist Lincon to be become the choosen candiate. I know it mentions the thrre resignation letters that he put up that were denied by lincon but there is qutie a bit to mention why he did this.

Also his relationship with his daughter Kate is a very improtant one, as she had to take the place of his dead wife in social function and was almsot indespensible to him, so much so it caused soem problems when she got married as to how he was goign to look after himself etc.

This can all be seen in the book " A Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin
