ment! The Va. Funders in 1871, when
they united with their "faithiul allies'
and passed the funding bill, by which
the original character Of the debt was
radically and most outrageously chang
ed. Bear this in mind, ye people of Va.
Ihe contract under which the money
was borrowed by Virginia was then de-
stroyed and a new and totally different
one extored. This new contract stipu-
lated that the State should not have a
dollar of money until the bondholder
should first receive annually every dol

war interest and reconstruction interest
added. These Fuuders now claim that

to rest until II has been reversed and the
debt put where it was at first, viz: an
obligation secondary TO the sovereignty
and governmental functions of the State.
