R. Bxllaiit. A interltion wasno redeem them sometime at the convenience of the Government, although it was not so stated. They were simply a "promise to pay," issued by the Government without limit as to time or other condition. Right there the trouble began! and the plottlngs of bondholders to make themselvessoHd, and prevent what they feared might possibly happen, the.

payment of their bonds in greenbacks, which "lawful money." The first, concerted move was to secure the passage of the act of 1869, which knocked the greenback out declared the bonds uavable ia "coin." That made them solid, and relieved their apprehensions as far "as the greenbacks were concerned. This was move number one. If they had been content arid stopped with that no. serious objection could have been found on the score of honesty or legitimate busi-, ness for these greenbacks were issued as temporary emergency 'money, or rather the representative of money, Government promises to pay, which was generally understood would be some day redeemed in coin, so that all they, did was toj se cure a declaration from Congress to the effect that these bonds would not be redeemed in greenbacks, The passage of this act eliminated the greenbacks and made the Government debt payable in coin gold "or silver. Every dollar of the debt might then have been paid ip silver.

Having succeeded so well in move number one they took some time to think and plan before they proceeded to move, number two, which was for the demonetization of silver, which they accomplished in 1873, which was not the firs't time it was attempted, however, for they began to work oh that as early as 1868; In this work they had the powerful cooperation of the European bond" holders who held some four or five hundred millions of our bonds arid wanted, of course, to secure their payment in the standard money of their countries These bonds held abroad were mainly by English and German holders, and principally by the Rothschilds, who were represented in this country by the Bel-moats, as they now. are; This was step number two. I The next move was for the resumption of specie payments, which went Into effect in 1879. This was a carefully and shrewdly planned and managed business in its three respective moves, beginning with the act of Congress pledging the Government to payment of its debt in coin; second, in the demonetization of silver, which practically made it payable in gold, and third, In the resumption of specie payments, getting the greenback out of the way and leaving gold and the' national bank notes and the subsidiary silver we then had as our only money, and gold' the only legal or debt- paying money. Between July 1, 1966, arid July 1, 1875, the public debt had been reduced from $2,733,200,000 to the difference having paid in lawful money, either gold or silver.

When silver was demone tized every dollar of these was payable in silver. And yet in the face of this these thieving conspirators combined or the de monetization of one of the moneys in which the debt could have been paid and forcing its payment in scarcer money, for which there was a struggle all over the world. Was that honest Wasn't that procuring the destruction of the orig inal contract and the substitution of another in which the people who have the debt to pay were! not consulted and to which they were not a party? And yet these people and their representatives have the cheek to accuse of dishonesty the advo cates of free silver, who Insist that the bondholders should have dealt honestly with the people and lived up in good faith to the contract they made. They ad received I up to 1875 about $500,000,000 of the prin-cipal of the bonds, not counting the Interest, paid in most of it doubtless in gold, and since then about $500,000,000 more, all Injgold, not counting the interest, which makes probably about twice as ranch as the bonds cost them, for many of these bonds sold as low as, $2.60 in bonds for $1 in coin, silver then being as good and current as gold. And yet, we they have the cheek to accuse as dishonest the man who insists that they had no right to take the Government by the throat in that style and plunder the people in that fashion by outlawing one of the moneys in which these bonds were i mos MX3TI0V.
