1mpairing the Obligation Of CONTRACTS

1mpairing the Obligation Of Contracts.
There is q provision in our organic law
providing against the Impairment eff the
obligations OF contracts. Recent legisla-
ton, and department construction and
practices under it, have demonstrated how
this provision may be observed in the let
ter and utterly trodden uader foot in spirit
and purpose. The national debt was all
created previous to 1873, and the obliea-
tons provided Except per cent Pacific
hallway bonds which were payable in law
fnl money! that they were to paid in
gold and silver coin" But just previous
to and during 1873, extensive and rich sill
yer mines were discovered, and following
this the holders of our public securities.
seeing that it would enrich them, demand
ed quietly, ard as quietly obtained, re-
vision of our coinage laws, which DESTROYED
the value of silver for paying the public
obligations Since the agitation began for
restoration OF the legal tender quality of
silver coin. another method was sought and
has been adopted to avoid being compelled
to receive silver coin IN payment of public
securities, in case silver should be remone-
tlzed: that is by taking up the old bonds
dated prior to 1873, and issuing new ones
In their stead, of later date In fact it
is the same debt, but In law it would seem
to be new and later obligation. This is |
the method which has been adopted TO inn |
pair the obligation of the original contract
between the people who pay and the hold |
ers of the obligations. 1t has amounted to
destruction of large part of the assets
OF the people, and of necessity enhanced the
value of the remaining commodity left
them 10 pay with, thus resulting largely toll
the advantage Of the creditors.
be new per cent bonds lust put ON
the market by Secretary Sherman, it is
now stated rom Washington, are backed
by a private hocus pocus letter. endorsed
by the cabinet to the capitalists, who are
urged to take the new bond for the old
debt, assuring the latter that this bond is
to be paid only in gold All this schemine

policy of confscation and suicide, will avail
