	SHERMAN, JOHN. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		He had supported the Legal Tender Act of 1862 and the National Banking Act of 1863, but he opposed Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch’s plan to retire the greenbacks in circulation and pushed a compromise plan for resuming specie payment.
		Later, however, he forced the Resumption Act of 1875 through the Senate, and as Secretary of the Treasury (1877–81) under President Hayes, he directed the implementation of the act.
		Again in the Senate (1881–97), he was associated in 1890 with the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Sherman Silver Purchase Act.

	State of the Union Address by Grover Cleveland
		The resumption of specie payments by Chile is a step of great interest and importance both in its direct consequences upon her own welfare and as evincing the ascendency of sound financial principles in one of the most influential of the South American Republics.
		Protest was promptly made by the United States against this act as not being justified by a state of war, nor permissible in respect of vessels on the usual paths of commerce, nor tolerable in view of the wanton peril occasioned to innocent life and property.
		To decree by act of Congress that these debts shall be payable in less valuable dollars than those within the contemplation and intention of the parties when contracted would operate to transfer by the fiat of law and without compensation an amount of property and a volume of rights and interests almost incalculable.

	John Sherman
		He warmly advocated the insertion in the Reconstruction Acts of a provision ensuring the early termination of military government; and he opposed the impeachment of President Johnson, though he voted for conviction on the trial.
		During this period he was largely concerned in the enactment of the Anti-Trust Law of 1890, and of the so-called Sherman Act of the same year, providing for the purchase of silver and the issuing of Treasury notes based upon it.
		This latter Act he approved only as a means of escaping the free coinage of silver, and he supported its repeal in 1893.

	Michael Miller - Wars of the Roses - Chapter 11: Resumption Statutes
		Acts of Resumption which Parliament forced on successive reluctant Kings (before the largely successful Act of 1451) rarely achieved anything like their objectives.
		These Acts were a fruitful source of conflict between the Executive body, the King and his Council, and the legislative and tax granting body, which was Parliament, throughout the first half of the 15th-century.
		We are more concerned with the undeserving cases against whom the Act was principally directed, and here there is some evidence to show that those immediately about the King had made their preparations, and had agreed what they should retain and what they should surrender as a gesture in order to placate Parliament.

	The Coming Battle, Chapter 5
		The passage of the so-called specie resumption act of 1875 planted this country upon a gold standard, and practically gave the banks a monopoly of the currency.
		This act of Secretary Sherman was an exceedingly shrewd move on his part to add an official sanction to the war that was to be waged against the use of silver and silver certificates by the Clearing House Association.
		According to the provisions of the Resumption Act of 1875, greenbacks were redeemable in specie on and after the 1st day of January, 1879.

		Under such circumstances this Act of Congress empowering the President to establish martial law upon his own motion in time of peace within a "State" when combinations of private persons had successfully defied, in any instance, the laws of the "State" was a very stiff measure, and unwarranted by the facts of the situation.
		By the Act of March 18th, 1869, the Republican Congress had declared that all of the obligations of the United States should be paid in coin or its equivalent, unless otherwise specifically stipulated, in the law authorizing the obligation.
		With the Resumption Act the financial policy of the Republican party, and of the country, was dragged to the front, and the Southern policy was forced backward, and made to constitute a less prominent issue in the campaign of 1876.

	Basic Principles of Compensation for Land Resumption
		So far as compensation is concerned, the Lands Resumption Ordinance is based on the English 1845 Act, the many cases decided by the courts in England during the 19th century and by amendments made after 1889, the important rules introduced in England by s 2 of the Acquisition of Land (Assessment of Compensation) Act 1919.
		Provided the claimant acts reasonably in making that decision, he or she can claim compensation for relocating even though the cost is greater than it would have been for total extinguishment, or vice versa.
		The claimant will also recover loss of profits for the period before the resumption, during the move and maybe after the move, provided always that he or she can prove that the losses were due to the resumption rather than some other cause.

		That Lincoln did not approve of these acts is well known to the older generation who have some recollection of the events of that period.
		The first step in the contraction of currency was taken early in 1866, when an act was passed to provide for redeeming greenbacks in interest bearing government bonds of the denomination of $1,000.
		The final act in the contraction policy was the resumption of specie payments, provided for by the Sherman act of 1875, to take effect January 1, 1879.

	The Coming Battle, Chapter3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This act, which was the first legislation limiting the legal tender quality of silver coins, is pointed to by the single gold standard advocates as a demonetization of silver.
		The former acts of Congress, authorizing the circulation of foreign gold and silver coins, and declaring the same a legal tender for the payment of debts, were repealed.
		The latter act did not take away the privilege of the holder of foreign coin to receive certificates of deposit at the assay office in New York City, and the issuance of these certificates was of great convenience to the owner of bullion and such coin.

	State of the Union Address - Rutherford B. Hayes (December 1, 1879)
		The coinage of silver dollars since the passage of the act for that purpose up to November 1, 1879, was $45,000,850, of which $12,700,344 have been issued from the Treasury and are now in circulation, and $32,300,506 are still in the possession of the Government.
		Congress accordingly passed the act approved March 3, 1871, "to regulate the civil service of the United States and promote the efficiency thereof," giving the necessary authority to the Executive to inaugurate a civil-service reform.
		It appears from the report of the Commission submitted to the President in April, 1874, that examinations had been held in various sections of the country, and that an appropriation of about $25,000 would be required to meet the annual expenses, including salaries, involved in discharging the duties of the Commission.

	Viner, Studies in the Theory of International Trade, Chapter 4: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Much later in the century the Resumption Act of 1819 came to be generally regarded as a great achievement of economic statesmanship, but the economic distress which had followed it and the extensive literature of protest and criticism to which it gave rise had by then been largely forgotten.
		The defenders of the resumption were justified, however, in denying that it had been responsible for all of the decline in prices which occurred after 1816, or even after 1819, especially as this decline continued until the 1850's.
		It would be of no use to act upon the "rag makers," without at the same time acting also upon the public mind; for unless the public are willing to borrow the "rags," the "rag maker" cannot issue them.

	Laughlin, The History of Bimetallism in the United States, Part I, Chapter VI: Library of Economics and Liberty
		At no time after the act of 1853 until the Civil War was the silver dollar of 412½ grains equal to less than 103 or 104 cents of our gold coins, and, consequently, it was never seen in circulation.
		The discussion and probable passage of an act authorizing this second issue of paper so depreciated its value that, before the five-dollar notes could have been issued from the printing-press, and even before the passage of this bill, the disappearance of the small coins was remarked upon (July 2d).
		Although, on the 17th of June, in the second legal-tender act, any paper issues of denominations less than a dollar had been forbidden, Congress was forced, by the events we have just described, to pass a bill authorizing the issue of a paper fractional currency on July 17, 1862.

	The Bullionist Controversy
		The Resumption Act was passed in 1819 and convertibility came into effect in 1821.
		Supporting the Banking Act was the so-called "Currency School".
		Rallied against the act was the "Banking School", who argued against gold parity -- although not accepting the old Real Bills doctrine in its entirety and arguing for some degree of convertibility.

		Less than a month after Pyongyang’s nuclear flmail, the six-party dialogue is facing another hurdle, the Advanced Democracy Act of 2005 submitted to Congress on Thursday (Washington time).
		Although the international community generally denounces the bill, it is sincerely hoped that the North will not use this to sabotage the process of getting negotiations back on track.
		As the bill has seriously dampened Seoul’s efforts to bring Pyongyang to the six-party forum, the U.S. is strongly advised to closely cooperate with the South and other participants to keep the dialogue alive.

		The members were principally farmers of the West and the South; stricken by the Panic of 1873, they saw salvation in an inflated currency that would wipe out the farm debts contracted in times of high prices.
		They were opposed by the conservatives, who managed to get the Resumption Act of 1875 passed.
		(1878), and the success of the Resumption Act had allayed the discontent on which the party had grown, and the Greenback-Labor vote declined in 1880 to just a little over 300,000.

	Rutherford B. Hayes
		While these measures were of limited scope and effect, they served greatly to facilitate the more extensive reform of the civil service which subsequently took place, though at the same time they alienated a powerful faction of the Republican party in New York under the leadership of Roscoe Conkling.
		Although the resumption of specie payments had been provided for, to begin at a given time by the Resumption Act of January 1875, opposition to it did not cease.
		A bill went through both Houses of Congress providing that a silver dollar should be coined of the weight of 412.5 grains, to be full legal tender for all debts and dues, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract.

		The subjects, which principally engaged their attention, were the resumption of specie payments and the outrageous taxation imposed upon capital employed in banking.
		Executive Patrick Coe's plan of resumption is regarded in banking circles, as an improvement on that prescribed by the Resumption Act.
		The latter assumes that resumption will be secured, so far as it is possible to secure it by the first of January 1879, by bringing United States legal tender notes to par with gold on or before that date.
