prevent gold and silver coin and bullion from
being paid or accepted for greater value

venting any note or bill issued by the Uni
ted States frcm being received for a smaller
sum than is therein specified He moved
to reconsider the motion OF reference. In
the twcnty-four hours since this bill was in
troduced, great mischief has been done, and
every day and hour this bill remained where
it was still greater mischief will result in
raising the price of gold. 1t indicts three
States of the Union, and makes every man
guilty oil a misdemeanor and every clause
Of it commits the House to an impessibli-'
ty. Gold rose yesterday twelve per- cent
for no other reason. than this extraordinary
bill. ~ tss a. ~.
