no, fos protection, the finances Of tho United
Suites shall have no connection with banks,
nor with any other currency than gold and

confer no chartered or special privileges, nor
no, giva any sanction TO paper currency.
The same principles govern in both ma
iional and state aiFairs-frst, the equal ght
ofal men TO acquire and possess property,
