In C ONGRES S, January 2, 1779.
WH E REAS these United States, unprovi
ded with revenues, and not heretofore in
a condition to raise them, have, in the course of
the present war, repeatedly been under the ne
ceflity of emitting bills of credit, for the redemp
tion of which the faith of these United States has
been solemnly pledged ; and the credit of which
their honor and fhfety as well as justice is highly
concerned to support and ettabbfh. And whereas
10 that end it is ellc-niially neceflary to afeertain
the periods of their redemption ; and seasonably
to eftabHh funds, which, in due time, without
distressing the people, Ihall make adequate pro
vision for the fame. And whereas, in appor
tioning the payments for the said fund, it is ex.
pedient that an extra sum be called for the cur
rent year; both on account of the present case of
paying it and to reduce the surplus in circulation.
Therefore
Refblved, That these United States be cal
led on to pay in their reipeclive quotas of sis-
PHILADEL P HIA: Printed and Sold by J OHN DUNL AP, in Market-ftreeh
teen millions of dollars in the year 1779, an d of
fix millions of dollars annually for j 8 yeais from
and after the year 1779, as a fund for finking the
emissions and loansot these United States to the
31st day of December, 1778, inclnfive +
That if the continuance and circumstances of
the war shall make any further emissions neces
sary, the year ensuing, they shall be funk in the man
ner and within the period aforefaid.
That any of the bills emited by order of Con
gress, prior to the year 1780, and no others, be re
ceived in payment of the said quotas.
That the bills received on the said quotas, except
those for the year 1779, be applied firft for payment
of the interest, and fecendly of the principal of
loans made by these United States, prior to the year
1780, and that the residue together with thole re
eived on the quotas of the year 1779, be not re
issued, but burned and destroyed as Congress shall
direst.
Ard whereas many counterfeits have appeared
in circulation, of various denominations, cf the
emissions of May 20, 1777, and April 11, 1778, and
counterfeits of these emissions have lately been issu
ed by our enemies at New-York, and are found to
be Spreading and increasing fait in various parts of
these United States ; whereby individuals are defrau
ded, prices enhanced,' and the credit 0; the paper
currency greatly injured ; and it is f ecerne necessary
for the security of individuals and fafety of the pub
lic, that those two emissions Ihould ccafe to be a
c.rculating medium, and should be called in, and
exchanged, or otherwise provided for as soon as may
be with convenience to the present holders. —
Therefore
Resolved, That the following bills be taken out
of circulation, namely, the whole emissions of May
20, 1777 and April 11, 1778.
That they be brought in for that purpose in the
manner hereafter provided by the firft day of June
next, and not afterwards redeemable.
That they be received for debts and taxes into
the Continental Treasury, and irto the State Trea
suries for Continental taxes, until the firlt day of
June next.
That they be received until the firft day of June
next, into the Continental Loan-Offices, either on
loan or to be exchanged at the election of the own
ers, for other bills of the like tenor, to be provided
for that purpose.
T at the bills lodgedin the said offices to be so
exchanged, be there regifterd, and indented certifi
cates thereof given to ;he owners by the refpedive
Cemraiffioners of the said offices.
That the Cemmiffioners of the Loan-Offices make
returns to the treafary board, immediately after the
firft day of June next, of the amount of the bills re
ceived into their refpedive offices to be exchanged
as aforefaid, and that proper bills to exchange the
fame be furnished and ready to be delivered out
at their said offices, within 60 days from and alter the
said firft day u June.
That the firft mentioned bills, as they are brought
into the Treafurie^ and Loan Offices, be immediately
crofted and (buck through with a circular punch of
one inch diameter, to be afterwards examined and
burned, as Congress shall dited.
