Sl0."
Power to Issue Bonds Denied.

SlO.
Power to Issue Bonds Denied.
At the time the act of January IA, 1870.
for the resumption of specie payments was
passed # is stated that the general stock
of United States legal tender notes issued
under the acts of February %. 1862. July
.. 1862. and March 8. 1867, amounted to $3S2,-
100000, and that before any bonds were
issued or money was borrowed under the
resumption act the amount of the notes
was reduced to S3.66Sl.0 ole Mr.. Baker
therefore argues that the aggregate
issued under the resumption act was linn
tied to that amount. He further shows.
''on like information and belief" that pre-
paratory TO the resumption of specie pay
ments on January l, 1879, bonds were issued
under the resumption act to the amount of
95.5OO,O"o. and as that was all that it was
necessary TO issue ut that time, he sub
nit; that the power to issue bonds under
that act became and was exhausted. and
from thenceforward said act was obsolete
He further shows. ION like information
and belief" that without any authority
from congress. except that conferred by the
resumption act, there has been issued since
1879 by the secretary of the treasury bonds
OF the United States to the amount of
s262 400 on which gold coin was realized
TO the amount of S993 isi 2S6 a. Showing that
more bonds have now been issued under
the resumption act and much more gold
coin has been realized thereon than the
total amount of United States legal tender
notes TO be redeemed"
NO Legal Way" to Procure Gold.
Upon these facts" the bill concludes,
defendant submits that there is now no
act of congress under which the secretary
OF the treasury or any other department
OF the government can borrow gold coin
Tor the purr ose of redeeming either United
states legal tender notes or standard silver
dollars. and that the secretary of the
treasury has no legal way of procuring
gold Tor the redemption of such silver dol
them as promises to pay.
This defendant submits that the tender
so made TO him by the complainant was
not sufficient in law to require him to dis
charge said mortgage. and he prays for the
benefit of demurrer to said bill on that
ground
