THE $44. 900, 900 PRESERVE"

As wo stated GONE wooks ago, tho ability OF
tho Treasury Department to meet its current
liabilities Is In question. Tho Secretary OF tho
Treasury has already drawn somo s9,0oo,oo0
from sum Of money whoso oxiatenco ut all ia
an anomaly, and tho legal uao Of which can hard-
II be insistod on. THIS fund Of $44, 100000 Of
groonbacks has boon styled BY tho Treasury De-
partment, over sinco part OF it was Illegally la-
sued in 1879, as 'troaeryo." Tho law knows
no such roaeryo, nor has 1t oyor authorized ono.
Tho history at this transaction is plain ono.
In April. 1866, Congress, by law, authorized the
Secretary Of tho Treasury to fund tho green-
baoks thon outstanding, and tho notes
thus funded ho was to "rotiro aud cafa-
ce,," not to excood S4000000 month.
Tho original legal limit to tho issue Of legal
tondor notes WIS 84o0,o0o,ooo; the Inv OF
prosaly stipulated that they wore never to oxcood
that amount. Tho act OF 1866, therefore, in
authorizing tho retirement and cancellation oi

to uoru,anently reduce tho amount Of legal
tenders outstanding. The Secretary was re
auirel to i" caucel" every note that ho retired
| lust aa 10 would cancel any bond that ho lat
paid. III February, 1868, Congress passed m
other aot entitled "An act to suspend furthe
reduction Of tho currency" That act snspcndos
tho authority Of tho Secretary ito make an,
reduction of tie currency by retiring au'
cauceliug United statoa notca." In til
