Cato On Constitutional Money And Legal Tender PDF Download

Excerpt from Cato on Constitutional Money and Legal Tender: In 12 No, From the Charleston Mercury It is to me surprising and humiliating, that, at so early a day after our Confederate Constitution was ushered into being, an argument should be needed, by a member of Congress especially, to show that the Confederate government, or any department of it, has no power to make anything a legal ten der, in payment of debts, except gold and silver current coin. But it seems manifest, from what has already appeared, that the poison of the fatal teachings of Alexander Hamilton and the Old Federal party, of Henry Clay and the Whig party, and of that Consolidation party which undermined and destroyed the Constitution of the United States and the Union it con structed, has even thus early begun to corrupt the blood Of our body politic.
