connected with and re'ultiHg ia this
grantof power shows that it was made
| to give Congress the sole o. oxc usive
power OF making money OF paper, on
what is precisely the esme thing OF
giving legal tender functions TO Danor
aud thus making IL money. The facts
are these: At The time OF making tho
con stitutlon and before, many OF the
States, as sovereign bodies, were and
had been exercising their uudOubtrd
sovereign prerogativo of makins
money of paper, but because no state
could bestow legal tender attributes
valid in any other state, consequently
the paper money of each State was not
money in any othor State, and was,
| therefore, subject To discount and

was u great evil, and, In order to
remedy This evil, the States agreed 20
