• La soberanía es inherente al derecho de emitir dinero. Y la soberanía americana pertenece por derecho al pueblo, y sus representantes en el Congreso tienen derecho a emitir dinero y a determinar su valor. Y 120 millones, 120 millones de tontos lamentablemente no han insistido en la observación de esta ley bastante decidida. ... Ahora bien, el punto en el que la malversación de los fondos de la nación por parte de sus funcionarios se convierte en traición probablemente sólo pueda ser decidido por juristas, y no por jueces elegidos a dedo que apoyan la ilegalidad.
