DIRECTIONS TO MORE GRERNBACKs.
l object to this plan, first, because, il
would be unconstitutional. To this OBJ
lection some will reply, why are not the
present greenbacks UNCONSTITUTIONAL
answer that query as follows: During
the war, when the present greenbacks
were made legal tender, the government
found itself under the necessity OF devils
ing ways and means to meet It's liabilities,
II was in arrears to It's creditors, to its
soldiers in the field, and to those who sup
piled It's soldiers with all the necessities
Of war. 1t had no gold or silver to pay
them. 1t was obliged to make a
forced loan, II was obliged to strain
not only Its resources but its pow
ers to the utmost. II was q life and death
struggle. Necessity knows no law. And
yet even under such circumstances
that dire dilemma-it has always been an
open question whether the government
did not do an unconstitutional act in
making its greenbacks legal tender. The
great Democratic lights Of that day 80 re-
gardcd il and so characterized 1t, Such
was the opinion OF both VallaRdigham
and Pendleton. Chief Justice Chase held
that the legal tender act was not constitu-
tional, and the majority OF the court con-
CURED with him. Afterwards the court,
when two Justices had been added 10 It,
reversed the opiniOn-but only on the
ground that the act was passed under the
war power OF the Constitution.
