trainers of the Consttuton-supported by all parties
and received the browning signature OF President
Washington himself
The manner in which that useful principle was en-
bodied into law under the administration OF President
Van Buren, may be faulty in some OF the details But
the value OF the principle demonstrate III reason,
and confirmed by undoub,ed results. The Independent
Treasury act was signed by President Van Buren, on
The 4h JULY $780, and within ten days thereafter, the
necessary fixtures for ts operation were provided IN
the Treasury building and gold and silver transferred
there, for the Of the public creditors And from the
4h of July, $40, when the Treasury began TO dis
burse those specie funds until the repeal OF the nde-
pendent Treasury act, in August 1871, there never
was proper claim presented at the public Treasury
which was not promptly satisfied in gold or silver; I'M
less the claimant preierred-as he sometimes dd-to
receive satisfaction in Treasury notes draft epe
Gle funds al another point. Not shilling Of the many
millions which, under the Independent Treasury act,
came into the Treasury ever lost. All was safely
kept and fairly dsbursed the law pointed out. And
If every bank in the Union had suspended specie pay
ments, the Government money would have been per-
tecty secure in the Treasury vaults. Many OF the
banks which held and used The public funds until the
Independent Treasury measure went into operation, at
terwa'ds failed. And ali tie public money which they
held would have been wholly lost 10 The nation, had
mol the Independent Treasury withdrawn It from the
control OF banks How many mill the Government

per, can be better imagined than computed
Yet there Wigs who seem TO prefer total con
iiscution of the public funds rather than they should
be safely kept and fairly disbursd by the legal officers
Of The United States. Accordingly at the extra SEES
sion OF President HARRISON the Fedora lists in Congress
fastened TO repeal the Independent Treasury Act
