THE SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The House then went into Committee Of the
Whole on the ball 10 provide ways and means for
the support of the Government.
Mr. STEVENS offered his substitute for bill of
the Committee of Ways and Means, as heretofore
published.
Mr.. SPAULDING rep, " Y said in the course
of bis speech that the Government now required
500 900 coo; before the bill could be passed into
law, and the notes which it authorized engraved;
30 600 coo additional would be required within the
next twenty days. The whole amount Of gold and
silver in ali the banks of the loyal States did not
the lst Of January exceed $S7 600. Even if the
Secretary of the Treasury could procure every dollar
Of THE II would not be enough 10 pay fifty cents on
dollar of the liabilities Of the Government. l, was
therefore perfectly plain that even this comparative
ly mall sum OF $lJ0 900 600 cannot DO paid COIN
II was no fault OF either the Secretary or Congress
he coin cannot be obtained. Ii Ii simply an impos-
sibility. There was no plan 10 get II. According
10 the old maxim, II we cannot do as we would, we
should do ~ we can. Inc Secretary has psd
out two hundred aud fifty millions Of dollars IN
legal tender notes, although the Secretary has
authority to sell five hundred million Of per cent
bonds he has only gold twenty five millions, leaving
the remainder to be disposed of at the market price
The reason why the bonds had not been sold was
because there WA no redundancy of currency. Our
soldiers in the field should be paid. They cannot be
expected TO perform their duty cheerfully while they
know their families are almost starving for the
means of living. Imperative necessity requires that
payment to them should be no longer delayed. Ii
the Secretary cannot raise money the bonds other
authority should be given him to meet the liabilities
Our perils are two-fold compared to those OF last
year. He then examined into tho financial CONDITION
showing that eleven hundred aud seventeen millions
were required for the. current service. lie argued
TO SHOW that the money required could not be OBJ
tained by loan, and hence the necessity of passing
the bill reported from the Committee vi Ways anu

hope Of ultimate success in any financial
scheme was in military success as from
tho Southern declarations the war mus, go on
The Rebels must be whipped before they would
