of Patrick Henry, Let it come, II VIII he
"A glorious death We viii have TO buy
their cheap silver with our exports? Let
it Ice so. I can think of no better fate
for our cotton and corn. We cannot have
too much silver. If | had my way I would

say i'm Atlanta or Charleston, ceruii-
cate for the amount. and this certificate
might be divided into number of others
each representing "A small sum- These
certificates / would make legal tender at
once. in advance of actual coinage, SO as
to give the people needed relief as quickly
as possible"
