TIE GBEENBAcK QUESTION.


heretofore Republican, announces his
indi, idual determination to oppose Gem
c.al John A. Logan's reelection tc Con-
yress, solely on the greenbuck question,
aud Because General Logan is not, in the
opinion Of Mr.. Mathers, an advocate of
,.solishing the National Banking system
and substituting greenbacks for his cur
lcncy.
Nov, suppose General Logan were in
favor Of this policy. Is il not well
lnown that the Supreme Court has clearly
let forth, In its tlicta in the greenl'ack
rases. That the Issue Of gzeenbacEs, even
,,ntlcr the war power, is of limited aud
.:onbttul constitutiona1its, and that, in time
+ peace, like the present, the claim Of
power in CougreGs to Issue them could not
even be listened to or thought Of. OF
what avail would Gcnernl Logan's
financial sentiments be, if the Supreme
Court had, in effect announced in advance
:lsat it would anuul any law he might pass
Ia put them in practice? Mr.. Mathers'
views may be the very pink OF wis.,
dom, but, unfortunately, they are uncon-
stitutional. He cites comment in TuE
cu7c.co Tn,nnsr of three or fonr vears
eco and n resolution of the II1;nois House
II Representatives. in their favor This
would be good authority If tho world had
| stood still, ard no events had happened
,ln,;nc three vears to change the situation.
