March, 1869, promising to pay the 5-3O's in
gold, is gross violation of the contract
whereby said bonds were issued, and said
law was passed by fraud that the effort now
making by the Secretary of the Treasury to
pay fractional currency in silver should be
Immediately prohibited, as silver is worth
less than currency; that legal-tenders
are standard of value, while gold
constantly tluctuates for various rea-
sons; that the amount of money
required by the people depends on their in
telligence; that legal-tenders should pay the
bondholder his interest and all other debts,
private and public, including duties on i'm
ports; that the act pledging resumption in
1879 is a failure, and its immediate repeal is
demanded; that Congress should enact laws
for the encouragement of labor, agriculture

wealth by the people to the exclusion of mo-
nopolies.
