It is called "funding at par." That meant that Hamilton, as part of his financial program, would pay the owners of the US Bonds, the face value of the bonds they owned. Many investors had purchased these bonds at way below face value because the original owners had felt they would never receive any money from the government. Hamilton argued that even though some "speculators" would reap hug profits, it would present the US government to the world and to its citizens, as a government that would honor its financial obligations.
