Excerpt from Bondholders' Conspiracy to Demonetize Silver: Legislation Affecting National Debt and Gold and Silver; Unfaithful Treasury Officials; Hostility of National Banks; Independent Financial Policy for the United States; Free Coinage or Enforcement of Existing Laws The bonded debt was, at the time it was contracted, an agreement on the part of the debtor to de liver to the creditor at the various times named in the sev eral contracts, either gold or silver, at the option of the debtor. If silver is to be withdrawn from the money of the world so that it cannot be delivered by the debtor in dis charge of his obligation, the contract will be changed and the debtor injured. Money will be scarce - there will be a failure in the amp of coin'; in other words, demonetization of silver means a corner in money.
