DECISION Of The question As 10 ils e0nsli-
u,ionali.y. Politicians ind il convent
sal 70 raise he prejudiees Of the people
.sains. Bank. and il matters no, IL The
question has been dreided By every COM
pe,rp. tribunal in the country, and sane
toned By such men as Washington and
Madison and Marshall, they will sill
ring he changes on Us unconstitutional :
~. and make use Of this hobby Cor their
promotion. To Us il seems IS clear IS
uoon-,lay ,lrs. Congress has he power.
The Argument is siaplc one. In the
4, article &c the constitution and the slh
section. among the enumeration Of the
powers of Congress, ], Is said: /" Con-
gress sAsA hove power 10 pay The debts
and provide Cor the common defence and
general osyare Of the United States"
And in the l7ih clause Of the same sec
zion. il provides, that Congress shall have
power To make all laws which shall be
aste,sary and proper Cor carrying into
execution the foregoing powers, and al
other powers vested by this constitution
in the government OF ,hs United States,
or in any department OF officer thereof
In other words: ii Congress in providing
ar tho general welfare, finds il necsssa-
ry All proper to establish Bank Of the
United States. j, shall aaye power 10 do

nj. bh a Federal measure? Wehave
stated lha M. Madison recommended q
Bank IN lis message 70 Congress 10 1918.
The portion Of the message making this
recommendation was referred 10 select
committee Of which John G. Calhoun
was the chairman and on the slh Of ia
naary 1915, Mr.. Calhoun reported a bill
for National Bank. which passed both
houses OF Congress the same session,
and received The signature of President
Madison. The question on the final pas
sage Of the Bank bill in the House oil
REPRESENTATIVES, was decided in the aihr-
NATIVE by vote Of so yeas To II nays
Weldon N. Edwards AID Bartlett YAM
ecy, of North Carolina, voting in favor Of
the Bank. Chased politically, according
10 the designation Of parties at tina, day,
Of the Republican members sirty-sersN
voted in favor OF the bill, and Of the Fe'
deral members thirteen; and Of those who
voted against the bill, about one-hali wer'
Republicans and one-half Fed ralIsts
Two-ihirds Of the Republicans, therefore
voted for The bill. and more than tioo
thirds of the Tsderalists againstii. TIL
questinn in the Senate was decided IN tn
affirmative by vote Of a. to IL, Or tn
yeas on this vote, seueateen were Repub
licahs and foe Federalisis; and Of th
nays yfve were Republicans and sere'
Fetleralis $. So that fno thirds OF all tn
Republican members Of Congress assist
cd to pass the Bank charter, and frt
thirds of the Fedsralists did their best 4
prevent its passage.
We ask, then, in view Of these facts
