Rutherford Hayes actually said...

"If, therefore, the Government is compelled to go to trial at the special term provided for by this bill, the United States must be defeated for want of time and means to make preparation for the prope..."

"The act can not be executed, inasmuch as there is not sufficient time to give the notice of the holding of the special term which Congress thought proper to require."

"The Government can not prepare for trial at said special term, because no fund appropriated by Congress can be made available for that purpose."

"A currency worth less than it purports to be worth will in the end defraud not only creditors, but all who are engaged in legitimate business."
