1t is remarkable, among similar official
documents of the States, as being ground

ognize in Mr.. McCulloch Il real financier,
but the point i'm Mr.. McCulloch's
scheme which must strike Englishmen
most forcibly, is the confidence which
he invites in the action of the Ex-
ecutive. He asks for united power in
the way of funding the paper currency,
and he asks that surplus, at $l0000,000
and gradually increasing to S40000,000,
may be invested to Government for the
time being. That such things should be
asked for is surprising. That if the tax
payers are found willing to grant them, we
may well be astOnished. Whatever may
be the issue, the course of financial discus
sion in the States during the current ses-
sion OF Congress may be watched by us
with advantage, as those who are in much
the same position may learn from the ex-
perience of others. 90 ..-
