Attack the Bland-Ali son act in Michigan suit
In Pontiac circuit court a friendly chancery suit seeks to test the Bland-Ali son act's constitutionality. Detroit financier Stephen Baldwin offered 464 silver dollars to cover a mortgage owed to Fred A. Baker, who insists only 364 gold-dollar equivalent payments are acceptable. Ex-Congressman Timothy Yarsney leads the complainant's counsel as silver advocates pledge to push the case to the U S Supreme Court. Baker argues the act unconstitutionally omits free coinage and merely buys silver at its depreciated gold value, profiting from seigniorage.
