What was his position when the act of March, 1869, was here on its passage ? At that time he exclaimed : "What is the first section of this bill ? It is simply a solemn pledge of the United States that all the obligations of the United States, notes and bonds, shall be paid in gold and silver coin, except only those where the law expressly provides that they shall be paid in lawful money. And again, in speaking of the resumption of specie payments, he says : The honor of the country, the good f...aith of the nation, the interests of the laborer, the rich and the poor, all classes, demand that we should resume specie payments as early as possible and place all the obligations of the people of the United States upon the solid basis of gold and silver coin. Sir, this theme becomes humiliating to every honest American rniud. It fills with shame every honest, patriotic heart. The naked fact confronts us at every step that no pledge, however high, solemn, or binding in law and morals, has been strong enough to compel the authors of our financial legislation to obey it.
