This historical text presents a speech delivered in 1878 by U.S. Senator Timothy Howe who argues that the government has failed to abide by the terms of its contracts with public creditors. He examines the government's obligation to pay debts in accordance with the understandings of both debtors and creditors at the time of the loan. The author provides an extensive analysis of legal and monetary policy to demonstrate that the government's shift towards a gold standard violates the original contracts. In particular, Howe challenges the view that paying debts in silver coinage represents a form of cheating. The speech contends that silver had historically been recognized as a legitimate form of payment and that there is no inherent superiority of gold over silver. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of contracts and the need for the government to act in good faith towards its creditors.
