But as to the resolution itself. When did
the bill by which these deposites were regua-
ted become a law? At the last session of
Congress, he believed. These banks would.
no doubt, do what they had contracted to do

subsequent to the passage of the bill, and to
me requirements of which they had conform
ed. But the resolution Of the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Garland) goes back to the
years 1888 aud 1884. What right had the
Secretary OF the Treasury to call for this in.
