The House then went into committee Of
the Whole on the bill to provide Ways and
Means for the support Of the Government
Mr, Stevens offered his substitute Tor the
bill of the committee Of Wasy and Means as
heretofore published.
! Mr.. Spaulding said in the course oil his
speech, that the Government now required
one hEndred and fifty million dollars before
the bill could be passed into law, and the
notes which it authorized engraved. Fifty
millions additional will be required within
the next twenty days. The whole amoent
Of gold and silver in all the banks of the
loyal States did not, on The LIST of January,
exceed eighty seven millions. Even il the
Secretary of the Treasury could procure
every dollar Of this, it would not be enough
to pay fly cents on a dollar Of the labili-
ties Of the Government. 1t was Therefore
perfectly plain that even this comparatively
small sum of e ty millions can not be paid in
coin. IL was no fault Of either the Secretary
or Congress. The Cola cannot be obtained;

He then examined into the financial con
dition, showing that 81, 100000 were
required for the currant services. He argued
to show that the money required could hot
be obtained by loan, and hence the necessity
