WASHINGTON, July IL, 1883.
The Sherman funding scheme was pushed through
the Senate aud surprised every when II made Its
appearance Ia the House. II additional evidence Is
needed to prove the corruption OF the whole scheme
the circumstances of ITS passage furnish It, The
entire scheme has been three times condemned by
the senate-condemned over and over again by the
press OF the counry yet it is rushed through late In
one OF the hottest nights In July al the time usually
selected to push through the most nefarious jobs
The trouble IL this:-Mr McCuoch and the Senate
Finance Committee seem to recognize but one iu-
terest In the whole country, and that is the money

In their eyes, to have rights that money lenders are

Early In February the House passed bill prohibit
ing United States deposits in national banks within
fifty miles OF a Sub-Treasury depositary. II was
shown that those eleemosynary institutions were IA

Of over twenty million dollars holding the
following named amounts between June 80. 1866 and
October /, 1857
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1868-07-21

The average deposits OF the peoples money In
these few pet national banks, without interest,
during the sixteen months above mentioned, was
exactly $2',227,253.
A bill prohibiting the national banks from having
the use Of these enormous sums OF the peoples
money without paying "a cent interest passed the
House last February almost unanimously 1t got as
far as the Senate Finance Committee and there 1t
stopped, OF course.
The abridged Tax bill that recently passed the
House contained provision taxing the banks three
