SPEECH OF MIR. MASON,
OF VIRGINIA

On the Bill imposing additional duties, as
Depositories in certain cases, on Public Of
fcers. Delivered in the House of Represent
atiucs Of the United States, October, II,
1887 ..
The bill being under consideration, Mr..
Mason said, <. I'M.
Agreeing, as / most cordially do, in the
several measures which have so far been pre-
scented by the committee of ways and means,
for the consideration of this House; it is with
the utmost reluctance, that am now brought
to differ with those with whom have hereto
fore acted. e.. ..M
This difference, however, am pleased to
consider, is at least but one of mere expe-
diency, and in itself contains nothing which
should sever those who are united otherwise
in the preservation and support of those great
and leading principles, which actuate political
parties. u.".
Differences of opinion necessarily pertain
to deliberation-it is against the constitution
of our nature, that it should be otherwise
intelligence, reason, and sound judgment are
alike hostile to entire unanimity-nor would
our representative government be any thing
more than mere formal acquiescence in
the will Of some ordained superior; if the
doctrine were allowed to hold, that party dis
cipline exacts an unconsidered sanction to
every measure, which brings a recommends.
ton from the Executive chair.
Such is certainly not the spirit Of our in
stitutions nor should it be the spirit of any
party, that would act safely and wisely, or
even successfully, in the administration Of the
government committed to their charge.
Having thus promised, will proceed at
once to state my objections to the bill under
consideration.
Those who have brought it in, address its
claims to our favor, as a measure simply in
tended to provide for the safe keeping of the
public money. II is said that the former de-
positores, the State Banks, having proved
either inadequate to the duties required, or
unfaithful to the trust reposed in them in this
branch of the public service, it is necessary
that government now should take care Of its
own interests and that this will be most
effectually done, by return to what is called
the legal currency of the country; and by
constituting certain fiscal officers of the GO
vernment the keepers as well as the dis
bursers of the public money.
The machinery is certainly very simple,
and if the only end to be attained, were, in
TRUTH the safe Keeping of the public money,
however might dissent from the expectations
Of those who have planned its operation, !
could not see in it those insuperable objec-
tons, which impcl me now to demonstrate
against it. ....
| The evils, sir, which we are expected to
remedy by some adequate law, lie far deeper
| in the public mind than any alleged insecurity
Of the public money-Evils for which no
remedy is provided by this bill, but which
will, in my judgment, be fastened upon the
community by its passage mean the pre-
sent degenerate condition Of the currency.
