Greenbacks Always Good.

Hon. I. J. Graham, in response to
Mr.. Brindley's card, asking him to
define his position on the finance
question says:
81 am in favor of the immediate repeal of
the resumption act. As it now stands the
law compels the Secretary of the Treasury to
retire all the greenback money and when re,
tired the national banks will have entire con-
| troll of the finances of the nation"
A fiatist who understands his busi-
ness will gay anything to suit the &C.
casion, but Mr.. Graham's reputed
honesty compels us to conclude that
when he made the above assertion he
did not know any better. To satisfy
him Of his error we publish below the
text of the Fort bill, passed the 3lst
of last May.
AN ACT TO FORBID THE FURTHER RETIREMENT OF
UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER NOTES.
Be II enacted By the Senate and House of Rep
resntatives of the United States OF America IN
Congress assembled That from and after the
passage of this act 1t shall not be laaefi1 for the
Secretary Of the Treasury or other officer under
| him TO cancel or retire any more Of the United
States legal tender notes. And when any of said
| notes may be redeemed or received into the
Treasury undar any law from any source what
ever and shall belong to the United States,
| they shall not be retired cancelled or destroy
| ed but they shall be resissued and paid out
| again and kept in circulation: Proeided That
nothing herein shall prevent the cancellation
and destruction of mutilated notes and the is
| sue of other notes of like denomination in
their stead, as now provided by law.
All acts and parts of acts in conflict here.
with are hereby repealed.
Approved May 81, 1878.

Graham out Of this matter as gently
as possible, and would suggest that
