Yeah, that's one of the sources I found when I searched for a part of the quote. I also found it from a dozen other secondary sources (mostly people with similar angst about the monetary system). I eventually tracked it to WikiQuote. Turns out' it is a misquote. He actually said:
''"To a concurrence of causes: the restraints lately laid on their trade, by which the bringing of foreign gold and silver into the Colonies was prevented; the prohibition of making paper money among themselves, and then demanding a new and heavy tax by stamps; taking away, at the same time, trials by juries, and refusing to receive and hear their humble petitions".''
