Ew1NG's PLAN.
Tom Ewing, in explaining his intended move
ment to provide for the reissue Of greenbacks,
says: "Why, greenbacks are going in and out
Of the Treasury daily. They are received and
paid out ia the transaction OF public business.
Every such payment is an issue Of lcgal-tenders.
and am surprised that persons who bold that
view cannot perceive this plain fact. Once con-
cede the power to continue paying greenbacks
out Of the Treasury, US is now done daily, and
you couccde all. But, out Of Difference to these
scruples, my bill will provide for the reissue of
that portion Of the original sl00 000, 900 of green
backs that has already been Ill circulation aud
since retired.''
