Hon. Thos. II. Tongue Dear Sir, A
few years ago you spoke at the old

member you said; 81 will admit that II
may be possible for the government to
issue paper money. make it a legal
tender, and compel people to take it.
But ] have no hesitancy in saying that Il
would be reputation" t.
stepped forward and said about
FIVE hundred thousand Of US old COM
rades enlisted before the enactment of
the legal tender act, when only silver
and gold coin were a legal tender, and Of
course our contract with the government
was for coin. We could not rescind,
vary, or change our obligation except
under penalty Of death, or orimprisonment
for life at Dry Tortugas, for desertion.
Then the government issued partial
legal tender paper money, called green
backs, and authorized banks to issue
their notes, not a legal tender for debts
or taxes, and neither redemable In coin,
and worth, as compared with the full
legal tender coin promised, about 90
cents on the dollar, and compelled us to
accept both these kinds Of paper money
at par, and as full compensation for our
services, our limbs and our health.
Then / asked; Did the government
repudiate it's obligation TO its defend
ers?"
