There has been for . long time in the
Treasury Department rule that no persons
other than those employed in the Govern
ment bank note printing department shall
be permitted to visit the rooms where
greenbacks are prepared, unless upon spec
ial order from the Secretary Of the Treasury.
Occasionally the Secretary has given per-
,nits to visit the rooms. It is now discov-
cred that some Of these per sons have taken
advantage Of the privilege thus extended,
and have made themselves familiar with the
intricate machinery Of the establishment,
thereby enabling them to counterfeit the na-
tional currency.
Secretary McCulloch has now directed
that no person other than an employee Of
the printing department, shall under any
pretence be permitted to enter the rooms
above mentioned.
