THE sUB-TREAsURY SCHEME.

We invite the attention Of our readers to
the ninth number of "SAY," which we take
from the Charleston Mercury Of the Goth
inst. 1t treats the scheme which is now &C.
cupying the attention of Congress, and the
whole American nation, with the master hand
of one well versed in the practical science Of
his subject.
The Globe commenced the republication
of these essays, and gave credit to LANG
DON CHEVES, as the author of them and
bestowed a deservedly high encomium upon
his character and talents, the exercise of
which alone saved the Bank of the United
States from bankruptcy in 1919.
As the Globe disscntcd from some parts of
number four, Chc last it published,) as we are
sure it will from the one we to-day publish,
we shall, as soon as space in our columns
will permit, commence where the Globe end
cd, and lay before the public the remainder.

MIR. RIVE,s SPEECH.

The readers attention is particularly d.
rected to the concluding argument, of the por-
ton of this patriotic effort, which we publish
to-day, relating to the duty of the Govern
ment in respect to the general currency OF
the country. The idea has been proclaimed,
that the Government had nothing to do with
the currency of the country, and it has even
been extended so far as to lead to the doc
trine that the Government, like private citi-
zen; has only TO take care of its own interest.
The Government has certainly been trying
for the last eight years, to regulate the cur
rency through its revenue power, and 1t seems
to us of very doubtful expediency to abandon
it at this time Of its greatest disorder, "to
take care Of itself" We always understood
that the Efforts Of President Jackson were d.
rected TO the regulation of the currency, and
that he relied upon the management of the
public revenue, as the most important auxilia-
ry in effecting the reform contemplated by
him and his friends:
The vew of the subject taken by Mr..
RIvEs, is sustained by the practice of the
past, and by the authority of Mr.. Madison.
We have only time, at present, to quote
from Mr. Madson's Message to Congress OF
Dec 3, 1916.
But for he interests Of The community al large as
well as for ,e purpose of the Treasury it is essential
that the nation should possess currency OF equal value
credit and use, wherever it may circulate The eonsi'-
tuition has entrusted Congress, exclusively, ,ouh the
po,eer of Grating and regulating currency Of that de-
scription and the measures which were taken during
the last session. in execution of the power, give every
promise of success. .....
The principal of the measures referred to-
was the joint resolution Of goth April, 1916,
the whole substance of which is embodied in
Mr.. RIvE's bill.

FALSE ISSUES.

An effort is making to identify Mr.. Riyes'
Bill with the interest Of the Philadelphia
Bank Of the United States, under the affected
apprehension that il will enable that Bank TO
re-capture the Deposites.
Nothing has been more popular than the
cry against the National Bank, and we are
not greatly surprised that it should be brought
into the arena for the purpose Of defeating
this Bill. II is strange, passing strange"
however, that some, on the one hand, who
have hitherto advocated National Bank,
and others, on the other, who have zealously
sustained the State Bank deposite system,
should unite in denouncing Bill which pro-
poses, with notifications regarding the de-
domination Of the notes, what has been in
operation since the formation of the Govern
ment, as measure calculated to benefit the
Bank Of the United States
The principle Of the Bill is precisely the
same as that of the joint resolution Of 1916,
and regards only the kind Of money which
shall be received in payment Of public dues.
- has h"o SUM pilhSiPiC W wv WIN a'o
Bank of the United States, any more than it
interests bank in Madawaska or Attakipas
The Bill does not propose what shall be the
repositories Of the Government, but relates
merely to the receivability Of gold and silver,
or their equivalent, bank notes convertible at
the will of the holder Who can object to
this? To effect it, indeed, has been the aim
of the united efforts of the democratic party,
for years 1t proposes that the public dues
shall be collected and paid only in the legal
currency of the United States, or in the notes
of banks which are payable and paid on de-
mand in the said legal currency" and it has
no relation whatever to the repositories of the
Government. The selection of the deposit
tories is left to the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury, and if the Pennsylvania
Bank Of the United States should be made
Opposite Bank, if this Bill should become
law, it would be by the choice and response
bility of the Secretary of the Treasury. That
Bank could not, by any possibility, profit, in
that respect, by the provisions Of this Bill.
The issue, therefore, is groundless, and raised
without reference to truth or justice, merely
to effect purpose, to accomplish which, we
regret to sec coalition Of antipodal princi-
pies.

MIR. PATTON moved that the further considera-
ton Of the resolution be postponed till Monday next

not see that any thing be lost by the postpone
menl of the divorce bill till next session. All that
sustained the little confidence that sill fingered in
the country, was the hope that something would be
done for its relief His colleague need not therefore
be afraid that the banks would resume during the
recess. He feared there was little hope OF il.
Mr. BOON moved the previous question; lost.
Mr. WISE contended that IL was not the intention
OF the friends Of the administration to bring up this
divorce bill,

as to that bill He would pledge himself TO bring il
up and then would who would play the nom

WINGED him more than ever, that he did not intend
10 bring up his plan. The idea Of metallic cur

voted for the Sub Treasury system in 1886, on
purpose TO show the country that ii not the plan
OF the Administration. The essence Of the Presi-
dents Message was the Sub-Treasury system; and
every movement here had shown than ii was insin-

and they would be left in the lurch

The history of mankind shows, that no pu-
rity of individual character is exempt from the
assaults of the vicious, and the history OF the
world gives proof, that no purity of religion,
no excellence in government, can stay the
restless spirit Of the nfidcl, or the revolution
airy cravings Of unsatisfied and diseased fac
tons. 1t was to have been hoped, that in the
perfection Of our own form of government,
we might have been free from the agitatons
of the factious and the schemes of the Vi
cious, which have been rife in the old world,
but we, too, are destined to encounter these
trials, though they may only touch the surface,
and after brief existence, be lost in insight
fcance and infamy.
Our day of trial is at hand, and the follow
ing brief but pregnant extract, gives the sum
and substance of the doctrines of the loco

This vile and atrocious code, should be read
and pondered upon, by every man throughout
the wide spread land. They are not the uto-
plan dreams Of one man, and he distemper-
ed enthusiast; they are the doctrines of
party, organized and cancerous. Their aim
is not to partial localities, or to brief dura-
ton they are reaching out to the entire per-
vasion of our country, and their conquest is
for all future time. The beautiful temple of
our social edifce, the affairs Of our sacred re-
ligion, the structure of our civil code, and the
arm of our federal compact are struck at with
sacrilegious vandalism. Are we prepared by
any course of degradation; are we prepared
by any stage of infamy, to submit to this pol
luted and destroying revolution In the name
Of that spirit which gave us the liberty we en-
Joy, in the name of those fathers who framed
our government, and by the cherished hopes
of civil and religious liberty throughout the
world, we answer NO. But successful re-
sistance to this pestilcnce is not to be gained
by passive reliance upon the strength of our
position, or the weakness of the assault. The
destroying cancer is first seen as small abb
rasion on the surface, and the incendiary's
torch is lighted from a spark We invoke
the thinking, stable, moral portion of society,
to come forward in all their strength and
crush now and forever the monstrous here
sizes, and more than odious doctrines of" loco
focoism." We would caution those who in
dscreetly court this faction from fear Of lis
strength, or for objects they may hope to gain
by using them for their purposes, that they
are bound by every obligation of duty, no.
nor, and prudence, to give to it no counte-
nance in any form or for any object. They
will share the stain of the contact, and the
disgrace of the copartncrship.
