themselves and promise nothing, i be |
yOnd the power OF man. These pC"pi" |
appeal to The constitution where it says |
congress >hal. have power tuculm money. |

coin, and iiX the standard of weights !
and measures No one doubts the pow |
cr of congress To- coin money; bat they
forget that this power Is only exercised
when money is made. They have no
more right to cal their bits OF paper mon |
ev than To call them weights and meas
ures. They are quito ~ much like
weights and measures IL money. lhc
congress has power to establish.

dishonesty. One citizen sells his farm
to another tor Slv,u"r. takes a note ii
| twelve months; mrautiIuc congress Is
| sue bits Oi paper. Ui no y:tlu" III them
