“"f ‘ [AT ,TWO. DOLIARS PER ANNUM.
New Soriea-Vol. 4, No: 36.
Mr. nucjumjv.ijv,
OF PENNSYLVANIA.
lii. Senate, PFednesday, January 22,1846
OnthelndependentTroasurybill, in re
ply to Mr. C'tiY of Kentucky."-
Mr. BUCHANAN rose and said: Mr.
President: It is not toy purpose, on the pre
sent occasion, to go very much at length in
to a discussion of the provisions of. this b}ll.
I intend, in .a , great degree; indeed;almost
exclusively, to confine-myself to a reply,, or
at least .to an attempt" to reply, to the re-”
marks of the Senator from Kentucky [Mr.
CIAY.]
In al| discussions, if we desire to arrive at
a satisfactory conclusion, it is absolutely ne
cessary that we should distinctly understand
what is the question to be discussed. Then i
let me ask, what is the nature and character
of the Independent Treasury bilLnow before 1
the Senate?
Since the origin of the Government, our
own responsible officers have, always dis
bursed the public revenue., Heretofore, du
ring the intermediate space of time between
its collection and its 'disbursement, it has
been deposited'with banking corporations!
The object of thisHTilTis to provide that our
own responsible officers shall be. substituted
as depositaries, instead of these banking cor
porations; and that these officers shall here
after not only collect and disburse the pub
lic money as they have al ways done; bu t that
they shall also have the custody of it between
its collection and disbursement.
Under the provisions, of this bill, every of
ficer throughout the United'Stafes who re
ceives public money is constituted a deposi
tary. But there are certain points .where
very largc sums of piiblic money'are cbllect
cd, or are disbursed; or both; and at these
points,‘both the security of the revenue, and
the public convenience required that there
should he depositaries .distinct from, arid in
dependent of, the collecting officers. These,
points are .Philadelphia, New Orlearis, New
York, Boston, Charleston, and St. Louis.—
Accordingly, the bill proposes to convert the
Mint at Philadelphia and the'Branch Mint
at New Orleans into places of public depo
site, and entrusts the custody of the public
money to tlie treasurers of these institutions
respectively; .and Jt_cr.catca,aiitotreasurics, i
each to be under the. control of a receiver- i
general, at New York, at Boston, at Charles- ;
tori, and.at St. Louis. i.' .'
' Thus fac.'.air,. it will be perceived that this
bill makes no change in the settled policy of
the country, except merely to provide that
the public money, in the intermediate time,
between its .receipt into the Treasury and
its disbursement shall be entrusted to.ourj
own responsible officers, instead of irrespon
sible corporations.
In addition to these provisions, the bill I
contains what has been commonly denomi
nated the specie clause. This’section.pro-1
vides that'one-fourth of the dues of the Go- 1
vernment sball bWcgllected in gold and sil
ver, after_tbe..3oth June,'lB4o, one-half af
ter the 30th June, 1841, tlirce-foiirths after
theSOth June, 1842; and after the &oth June,
1843, all the reveliue of tlie; Goverriment
shall be collected and all its'disbursements
“shall be made in gold and silver coin.
Now, sir; when separated from the"details
necessary to carry these principles into ex
l ecufion, this is the bill, the whole bill, and
| nothing but the-bill which has’excited so
much unnecessary alarm throughout jlie
country,
In discusaing.this.bill,. th/r.S|ertator from
Kentucky has divided his remarks into tw6
general heads.. He has first' considered-the
'bill according to wh’af his friends say it isj
and in.the second place,..has discussed it ac
cording to what he hiniself believes to be.—
In my reply 1 shall invert this order, 1 because
it is necessary first-to prove that:.the Sena
tor himself has entirely .mistaken the nature
and effects of the measure, and that its
friends entertain a just conception ’of its
character. , ,
’ j Thc _Seri_ator held up the bill triumphantly
to public view, and'deolared that it contain
ed within its provisions a great Government
Treasurjr Bankl Now, if I cannot make it
manifest as the light of day, that in ibis pro
position he is entirely- mistaken, I shaH then
agree to surrender the whole argument.—-
The Senator hashed an unsUcccSsfuljihase,
(hruugh tlm prbvisiona of fhis blll.' aftcr the
lurking monster. . Had he succeeded in
dragging him intolight, I should have.been
one of the.first iben In the country 16 assist
iti putting him to instant death.. But,
“lie nrijsi'.iiave optics sharp, t.wecrt,
' Who' seeaWltat is not to bo seen.” -
This, I think, has been the case with {lie
Senator frotn-Kentucky.
Now, sir,; what is a bank? , According to
the usual acceptation of the Word, in our
country, it perforins ’three offices. It re
ceives deposites, it loans nipney upbn dis
counts,’ and it issues a paper currency,. 1
acknowledge that, in order to constitute, a
bank, it is not .necessary that it should per
form all these, three fuuctidng. r 'l’hcre are
banks of discount and,deposi(q.;inereij,' and
thcre are also banks of depositoantl issue
only; 'and this latter class of-Batiks are the
most secure of any in the world, whpn the
deposjtes are confined ,fo ‘the precious .jnefV
als, and the issues, in the form of certificates,
:do not actually deposited. I
Such was the Bank of Amsterdam, and such
is noW the Bank of Hambiirg, , It would be I
difficult to’form an idea of a bailk of issue
albnei, without " deposites or> discounts, if
thßugh l knpw.; from the utter inability of
the Bank of England tb regulatb the paper

- this bill does .not authorize the public depo
sitaries to receive money from individuals on
deposite; and it.not only docs not.aotliorizc
; them to loan the public money entrusted to
their carp, but it makes such an act,a felony,
punishable by fine and imprisonment. . This
" hillf thcn, cleany. does not create -a-bank
■ cither of deposite or of discount, and the Se
nator has not contended for any.such propo
. sition. He has confined himself to prove
■ that -it will create a bank of issue; and I
- shall ezamine.this proposition a little more
. in detail.
t And, in the first place, if there be a bank
1 .lurking in fhe bill, then we linvehadaTrea
• sury bank in full operation ever since the
. origin of-the Government, without having
the least idea of its existence until the Sena
; tor from Kentucky made, (he discovery.—
There.has been no period of time, since Ge
neral Washington was first inaugurated in
1789, until the presentday, when the Trea
surer of the United States djd not draw his
Warrants, either on banka or,receiving-offi
cers, in favor of disbursing officers or credi
tors of the Government, - Wilhout this pow
er the Treasury department could not exist.
Debts couldiiot be paid to individuals, neith
er could the public revenue be applied to cq
cdmpljsh the objects contemplated by the
Constitution. There is no, other conceiva
ble mode of conducting this branch of ; the
public business. The,bill makes no change 1
-whatever-in-this ancient and necessary prac
tice, except to impose an important limita
tion, upon’ it which has never-heretofore ex
isted; and yet, according to the Senator
from Kentucky, it creates a bank of issue;
and the .drafts drawn. byJJieJTreasui-elr on
tlie pubirc aopnsitories in favor of public cre
ditors and, disbursing officers, are. to be (he
paper currency which it will throw into-cir
culation.... Tiiis is the.sum and substance of
his whole argument on this point, ..He might
with the dame reason contend, that, if an in
dividual- in-extensive business had deposites
in several hanks, and was in (he. habit of
paying his debts and advancing.-money .to
his agents by .drawing drafts .upon,■ these
banks,(that, therefore, he himself had estab
lished a bank of issue. The;cases are pre
cisely analogous.
. In wharpaft of this bill has the Senator
discovered the charter of big bank? He lias
referred to one, and only. ong.clause, for-the ‘
purpose of proving its, existence. This is to
be-found-in.(he tenth scction of the billVand,
as.it is.very brief, I ,shall read it to the Sen
ate. It is as follows:
“And for-the purpose. of paymenfsop the
public nccopnt, it shall be lawful for (ho
.treasurer ol tiie United States to draw up
on any of the said depositaries,;as he may
think most conducive lo the public interests, ■
or to the convenience .of- the public credit'
ors, or both.”
I here, sir, is the charter; and what is it
but a mere recognition of the power which !
have just been describing, and which has ex
isted, and must .necessarily have.esisted, ev
er since the origin of the. Government,., It
requires the Treasurer of the United States
to consult both'the public interest and (he
convenience of the public creditor, or both,
in selecting the depositary on,which to draw
his, warrant. This he has .always done." In
the first, place he must select: a depositary
with whom there is an amount of money suf
ficient to meet the drafts and among such
depositaries he must, unless the public in
terest forbids,, draw upon that one whcre.it
will be most_ convenient for the public,cre
, ditor to receive his inoqey. \Vhyvsir.'-tJiis
clause, so tcrriiTic to the imagination of the
gentlemah'.'niighl he stricken from the;hill
altogether,-vvithuuf producing" iho"s)igirtest
inconvenience. The practice which it pre
scribes, is ihat which nmst necessarily be
pursued in paying, t,he debts of. the Govern
ment.' And yet this simple and.necessary ■
power is the only part of the bill on which
the Senator relies to establish his grfatTrm--
'survTßankl
Biit l said that this bill contained an. im
portant Hndtation which had ncverhcretofore
existe d This, wasintroduced at the special
session of 1837, upon my mvusuggestion.—-
It wasjtheh,apprehended, that.the',holders of
these Treasury warrants might not,, present
them for payment within a-reasonable: time;
and,that a large amount of them might re
gain outstanding, ariif be iised as.bills pfex
change. - As these outstanding drafts would .
necessarily represent an. equal ;amouht, of
gold and silver in the-handsr.of-thc depoSi-~"
tnrieSj it was apprehended .that, unless thej
wore speedily, presented for pay roerity a mass
of niight continue, floating in the com
hTUhity, and thus produce an accumulation
of specie in the hands of,(he,,,depositaries -
tvluch might prove injuribns.to,,the bapks.—
To prevent this evil— to render the draft
upon the banks for specie ns light aspossible
—rand, to 'cause the gold and. silver to flow
put of the Treasury into, general circulation,
as Vapidly as it- had flowed into: it,, this *
amendment tvas adopted,- It now consti
