not legislate to make money at tbs
expense Of It's creditors; that 1t wa
the highest obligation Of the United
States to pay its debts in such coins a
its creditors expected they would b
paid, and that It would be unjust t.
compel them, or latOfing men either
to receive silver dollars, or any def ase'
money. Laid on the table and ordere'
to be printed.
