DMr. Copger-Ii the Chair IL making an
effort in that direction, he (conger) was
unwilling to interfere. Laughter,
Mr.. Ewing-I now Withdraw the mo-
tion to recommit the bill, reported from
the Committee on Banking and Currency.
am instructed by the Committee on
Banking and Currency for ihe purpose Of
giving that opportunity for debate and
amendment about which the gentlemen
on both sides Of the House seem TO be
solicitous to ask unanimous consent 10
substitute for the connittees bill
that presented by the gentleman
from Illinois Fort, and that the snbsti.
tute be.made the special order for Tues.
day, the 18th inst, and from day TO day
until disposed Of, with the understanding
thet two amendments may be offered
before the previous question 10 demanded.
The committee conceives that its bill Is
Of precisely the same effect as that pro.
posed by the gentleman tirom Illinois.
The committee therefore believed and
still believes, and has no question about
II, that IL fts bill became law banking
would be free. The bill,of the gentleman
from Illinois was proposed under the ap.
prehension that the repeal OF the third
section would restore the restrictions on
the aggregate amount Of banking aRd cur.
rency and It's distribution. For the pur.
pose OF quieting any fears Of that sort the
committee Is willing TO accept the amend
ment Of the gentleman from Illinois as
substitute for It's bill. The committee's
bill proposes to repeal the whole third
section Of the resumption act.
That third section repealed all
restrictions on banking 10 the amount Of
bank currency and It's distribution
that existed on the 14th Of January,
1875. il that Sd section be now itself
repealed the former restrictions and lin
itadons repealed by II will not be re-
stored. That Is true as proposition Of
law, and tits now provided in The Revised
Statutes (Sec. 12, Chap. q that whenever
an act which repealed former act Is
itself repealed, such former act Ia not
thereby revived unless expressly 80 pro-
yided.
The Speaker informed him that that
could not be done without unanimous
consent.
