SUB-TREASURY SYSTEM.
The bill imposing additional duties on
certain officers as repositories Of the pub
lie money, was then taken up, when
Mr.. Talmadge addressed the Senate
Tor about two hours and half in a very
powerful argument against the sub-tre
sury system, which had been brought
forward by the committee on finance.
he presented some very strong views,
and placed the evils which would flow
from the adoption Of the system in a ve-
ry forcible light.
After he had closed, Mr.. Strange made
some explanations.
MIR. Calhoun then answered some OF
the objections TO the treasury scheme,
and comparing it with the plan offered
by MIR. Rives. the only two plans sub.
mitted to the Senate, decided that the
plan OF MIR. II. was too exceptionable to
be adopted. aud that the evils which
would result from continuing the State
Banks in connection with the Govern.
ment would far exceed any of the evils
which had been described as likely 10
come from their divorce.
Some further explanations were made
by Mr.. Rives and Mr.. Calhoun, mostly
concerning the identity Of the language
of the bill intro uced by Mr.. r. and tina
OF the resolution of 1916, which he be-
iieved came from the committee on f.
nance, of which Mr.. Calhoun was chair
man-Mr. Rives asserting the affirmative
as the fact while M. Calhoun consider
ed the two propositions as at variance.
Mr.. Rives MAYED an amendment BY
striking out all the original bill after the
enacting words. and substituting the bill
which he had introduced, but the mos
ton IN this stage was not in order.
