How He Argues Out His Case on Legislation and Justice
The author argues that motives of the Legislature do not alter constitutional validity. He cites cases treating factories as private, not public, enterprises and warns that Congress cannot exceed law into equity. The 1895 bounty is not limited to McKinley act victims, and compensation cannot be implied. If the comptroller cannot approve, claims deny a remedy, yet courts remain available to test constitutionality.
