SPEECH OF HOS. THOS. HOW/BP,
Of Ailegbeoy. County, on the Rate
Treasury Bill, awl Hepjly to benaton
Wallace and ttillisftelt—The
penned Belanenor
Ma. &maxim: The amendment of the
Senator from Clearfield (Mr. Wallace)
embraces also the amendment of the Sen
ator from Lancaster (Mr. Billingfelt).
-TM. amendment, if adopted, strikes out
all of the House bill after section two.
The &eeltor from Clearfield says there is
a paladin delusion In regard to the
amount of money In the State Treasury
-Mint It" is not Clue that w hive - any
."balances."
How, air, I understand tha apart from
-the Sinking, fund, we have not a large
ummit of money In the Tr nry now;
but we do have large am nets there
sometimes, and the object o i the House
MD under consideration is to meet a
Mischief complained of in to the
use of the large balances w n we have
theta, and the whole obj t • of this
amendment. and din - amen ent of the
Senator of Lancaster. IS to 'prevent the
,people of this State from getting the In•
truest on the '."unexpended balances"
I when we have them in the Treasury. I
traderatind that the amendment et the
tenter from Clearfield fatiodaces eon-
t demtole Mori - bak , keepleg Into the
•
imainess of the - Tstaisssy maagement;
hot how does that meet the mischief that
hat attracted ad much public attention—
thejaet that the public - Candi have been
mod for the gain and profit of the Treas.
Intr. Neither of these amendments meet
the question at all. The Senator saya
that different Treasurers bays from tone
to time b: ea taking . , money out of the
Sinking Fund, and ppropriating it to
purposes not contemplated by the COllSCl
tution. la that any reason for striking
,out 'of this bill all the provisions that
secure the interest to the credit of the
State ?
. .
-- .
Why not let those provisions remain?
Why. so much anxiety to strike them
out? The Senator from CM/wield says
the bents wiliMot eagege in the "pc.
I duals," heathens of paying interest for the
use of turexpeaded balances. We know
they always hay, done it for the benefit
of the Treasurer, and this argument is
answered by e 'practical -fact. A. few
weeks ego the Councils of the city of
. Pittsburgh, answering fairly to the de. I
mends of public sentiment, resolved to.
select from among the banks of that city
as depositories of thecity funds those that
would pay the-highest rate of intermit on
the "unexpended balances," and the .
*semli banks that heretofore had the de- '
posits for nothing came forward at case I
and agreed to pay five and a half per
cent. They knew it was a good thing to
have, and the lint move has brought live
and a half per cent to the credit aide of
the people.
Hr. Speaker, if there is any one clues.
Lion of public policy upon which the peo
ple of our State have spoken, positively
and certainly, it is for a reform in the
mitnaprithat of the public moneys by the
State Treasurer. -
In order to properly meet the question,
let us distinctly understand the abuse
complained of. Clearly . comprehending
that it is our duty fairly and squarely to
apply the remedy. If we intend honestly
to represent the wishes of the people we
must fully meet the evil. There should
be no favoritism—no attempt to evade
ibis great question. If oar remedy does
not meet the mischief, we shalt be accused,
and justly, of either dishonesty or incom
petency.
What is the abuse complained of ? It Is
that'our State Treasurers have for years
need the public funds in direct Tielation
of the law, to enrich themselves and cor
inpt - the Legislature of the _Common
wealth.
In the estimative our people it has
grown to be a fearful evil, the increasing
tendency of which is the destruction of
political integrity end the `public morals,
and they now:dentand - a full, complete
andemple remedy. Shall they have it?
The public press and the people have
unanimously spoken I Shams and pre.
tatees - wlll not do I -Nothing but earnest
and, thorough work will satisfy public
opinion: ' Senators must Rot suppose that
they can plaster this matter over with
mere patch.workthat willleave the Treas
urer in the possession and the control'of .
the Vends as beloro. We meet not shout'
reform, and deceiye ourselves with the
idea that we can close the watchful and
yigilant eyes of htindreths of thousands
that are now observing our action. -The
people, sir, have demanded reform, and
they are In terrible earnest, end woe be.
tide the man who attempts to palm off a
cheat for the true remedy. Let all such
look well to their heads. If any one et.
tempts to evade this question by a half
Way rereedy, no one will be deceived but
the one who shall undertake that danger
ems budneu.
The Treasurer Row controls millions,
and his bond is but eighty thousand dol.
Mrs—a mere trifle compared with the
mermen" sums that are in his Minds and
used at his pleasure. WWI consider,
tint, the House bill in all Its details, and
they malaise the amendment proposed
by the Plesatet from Lancaster. If the
House bill meets the evil complained -or
and furnishes the proper remedy, then
the amendment should be rejected.
The first section provides that the Treas
urer shall give bond, with ten or more
sureties, to be approved by the Governor,
in the sum of Aye hundred thousand dol.
his: This fully meetithe first evil—that
the `auteunt of the Treasurer's bond is
insufficient.
Section second provides a salary of
eight
n thousand dollars, and that he shall
real at' Harrisburg. This section has
been amended by reducing the salary to
live thousand dollars, and by striking
out the requirement to reside at Harris.
•
• The Mild action provides that until a
prbper and sufficient treasury Is -provided
it shall be the duty of the State Treasurer
to keep within Um State, at the kit raft
of interest that' can be obtained, all the
malls moseys, - In one or more banks or
'banking Institutions, subject to call, and
that the Treasurer shall be responsible for
all' funds deposited, and that he may
thugs the depoeits an often usifetymay
require. Bight here comes In the Sena-
tor from Lincaster, and moves to amend
this bill by striking out this third section 1
and all the remaining seven sections and .
Insert his i bill. Row I propose to go
through with the House bill, and examine
the remaining sections before I turn my
attention to the bill of the Senator from
Lancaster. It may strike some people as
singular that a Mead and supporter of
the incoming. Trimmer should com
mence the war ha the third section, which ,
provides nothing new ' except. that the I
interest account shall change sides; be
cause many persons do believe that
Treasurers have received Interest for the
use of State funds, and they have always
placed It to the credit ofthelr own private
account. This bill credits Me thepublic.
Section for - makes It the duty of the
Treasurer to render monthly accounts
toe Auditor General of all moneys in
the Treasury, the amount of all receipts
and payments during the month, and
' where, and the amount in each depositor'',
and a statement of all interest received
credited to the State. Now,
as the bill of
the Benater from Lancaster leaves all the
moneys It the hands and control - of the
Treasurer ulully is the Henn bill, why
does he Wish to strike out sections three
and four, that give the Interest to the
State? Can he tell?
Section five introduces a aew and im: ,
.portent principle. It is the check upon
the Treasurer, and no bill will be at all
complete without some such provision—
and none inch is to be found in the pro.
Posed amendment of the Senator from
Lencastee. It requires the depository
selected by the Treasurer, having -public
funds, within tea days after the close of
each moath, Id render an account thereof,
under oath, to the Auditor General, 'iv

imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard
labor not exceeding five years. This sec
lion impoges another check and provides
another remedy. It is right and proper
land no reasonable objection can be made
' to It.
Section eight makes it the duty of the
Treasurer to keep his accounts so as to
distinguish between the receipts and
disbursements belonging to the sinking
fund, and moneys not belonging to that
fund, from what source derived, whether
applied to the interest or principal of the
public debt, or paid out to meet appro.,
priations. _
Section nine contains all there is In the
amendment of the Senator from Lancei
ter, and more, and in far better shape to
meet the demands of the public: It tot, 'I
lowa the act of 1858, in regard. to the ,
duties of the commissioners of the sinking
fuad in rime respects, butinstead of their.
meeting in February and August, it re,-
quires them to meet every month to aa
certain the 'amount "in the sinking fund
and other funds in excess of the amount
required for appiopriations." Then by
circular letters, they_ are to give notice
that they will pay an amount of the debt
equal to the available funds. Or they
shall eye the same notice, that they are
ready to purchase and will receive scaled
proposal, for a designated amount. This
is all, and more than there is in the Sena
tor's bill, and what follows Is far better.
Aced if each proposals are not to the ad
vantage of the Commonwealth,' hey will
be rejected; and they may then direct the
State Treasurer to purchase in the open
market at the lowest and bat prim, pro
vided that the price paid by the State
Treasurer shall not exceed the price of
the latest end. best preposal which the
commissioners have received. The tenth
section repeals so much of other acts as
is inconsistent with this. This is the
whole act, and it is a great improvement
over the present vitae.
The ides of the bill is, that the State
funds will be keptln beaks, as heretofore,
until a proper and safe treasury shall be
provided by law; but instead Of allowing
all the interest, as paid by the banks, as
heretofore, to go into the- pockets of the
' State Treasurer, that the same shall go to
the credit of the State. What honest ob
jection can be made to that ? -
How thisplan ftunishes a complete sys
tem of checks and balances—the monthly
account of the Treasarer to the Auditor
General under oath. The officers of the
depositories are to furnish a correspond
ing monthly account, under oath, to the
Auditor General—and the latter officer
being required to keep a record of these
accounts, a complete system of checks
and balsam are arranged, and the reme
dy is furnished for the abases complained
of by the public.
By section nine of the. House ' bill, the
words "lowest and best prices" are used
to limit the powers of the commissioners,
of the sinking fund. No such words are
in the amendment of the Senator from I
Lancester, but a most - dubious expres
don,
"at such rates as can be paid with
interest to the Commonweslth er as 0,41
condition of the Treasury, present or pros.
pealed, may justify." The.whole matter
left entirely to their discretioa to rar•
chase as the coaditlon of the Treasury
may justify. •
Walt is the amendment that the Sena
tor proposcste substitute for this bill 1 It
has three short sections, sadnotons word
that relere to the duties of the Treasurer. 1
Section first refers to the duties..of the
Commissloaers or the Snafu Fond; and.' ,
section second provides that once amonth 1
they shall - give notice in two newspapers,
of tee amount of funds in the State
Treasury, and the amount of debt paid
during the month, if any, and at what I
rate, Section three requires the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund to keep a,
record of their promedings, to baffled
with the State Treasurer in his office. and
an annual report to be made to the State
Legislature. • ,
What does section 1 of the amendment
of the Senator from'Lancaster mean?
Does he claim it to be a new provision.?
Will be say . It Is a particle of improve- I
meat on the present law 1' Does it pro- ,
vide a ghillie check on the Trimmer ?
If so • where? Let him point out the
provision. The funds are all by his
' amendment left with the . Treasurer just
' as they are now l But he may , say—l
t have provided that the Commissioners
shall in every month receive sealed pro
!
posols for the redemption of any part of
' i
the "public debt nest becoming du," and
to meet ones and open Inch proposals and
' award to the bidders all of such propor
tion of said bids, aid at such rates as ean
' be paid., with interest to the Common.
wealth, or as the condition of the Treas
ury, pseeent or prosective, may justify. •
Now what Is the present law? Par
don's Digest, last edition, Page 915, sec
tion 2 of the act of 1858, provides that the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Au
ditor General and State Treasurer shall
be Commissioners of the Sinking Fund,
to receive the Income and revenues men
tioned in the first section of the act, and
apply the same, first to the payment of
the interest, and second to the principal
of the public debt. Section 8, act of
11158, provides all that aectioa 3 provides
in this amendment, and more. Let no
see. Seaton 6, ict 22A1 April, A. D. 1858, •
among other things dictate that the com
missioners shall keep books, ibc., show
ing distinct accounts of all moneys re
ceived and disbursed under this act,
"AND PROM gnat to Mao (every month if
you like), as the fonds may justify," apply
the same to t e payment of the accruing
Interest of th publics debt, and the prin
cipal, at or Jere the semi annual pay
ments th y become due."
Now, under this act of 1858, the cora
missioners could receive sealed or not
nailed proposals "for the redemption of
any part of the lean of this Common-,
wealth aext becoming des," and they
could "meet on the first Tuesday in each ,
month, or each week, ud open such pro-
peseta," and award to the bidders all ter
such proportions - of - said bids, at inch's
rates as can be paid, 'nth interest to the
Commonwealth or is the condition of the
treasury, present and prospective, may
Justify." ,
Tons, you see, the bill of the Senator
from Lancaster is a craftily devised
scheme to palm off the old law as it aow
stand. fir unitising new. It Is very
shindy done. Is that the measure of that
Senator's reform? Who did it? Will
that Senator in his place here any that he
devised that plan—that his amendment;
which. Is bat a cunning scheme to deceive
the people—a mere pretense of reform—
that is no reform at all; is his work? Or
to it true that a plot has been laid to entrap
an honest reformer, and get him to
offer the old law in a new drat?
The Senator from Lancaster objects
to the Homo , bill that as the
money is on ca ll, the State can get
no more than three per cent. Suppose
that is true. His bill, that he desires to
inject into the House bill, will prevent
getting say interest at ail for the' 8/ate,
but will leave the State Treasurer topock
et all he can get—whether it be three
or six per cent What honesty or con
sistency is there in this? Call this a re
form, forsooth? That Senator is an
honest man; he his displayed great zeal
for reformation. He has expressed moat
anxious desires to prevent any further
abuse in the handling. of the State
funds, and I believe he Is sincere. As
the Senator's bill leaves all the State
moneys in the hands of the Treasurer,
as heretofore, why is be so anxious to
defeat the wishes of the people, that far
all "unexpended balances" the deposi
tories selected shall pay as high a rate as
can be-obtained, to be credited to the
fund, instead of going into the pocket of
the State Treasurer? Can that Senator
till? lilt is but three per cent why not
put it to that side of the account that will
benefit the tax-ridden people of the State?
No 1.-There is no purpose behind all this I
The Senators are deceived: It is a plan
to defeat the will of the people: When
they have asked for bread, it is giving
them a stone. The people have de
manded further that the State Treasurer
shall no longer get the Interest, that the
law shall be se changed u to hold him
in closer bounds, and yet the Senator
from Lancaster does not even name him
In his tilt In the language of the dls
ft:ignited Senator of Erie, "I fear, air, a
great wrong is to be perpetrated," and
reform Is to be murdered in the Reuse of
its pretended friends: . • '
Let us carefully examine the * precut'
details of the bill of the Senator from
Lancaster, offered here as a substitute for
the bill of Mr. White, of Allegheny, and
compare them with the prorntione of the
act of 1858.
Ist. Bvery month the commhodeners
are to receive sealed proposals for the re- ,
demptios of any part , of - the State loan
"nest becoming due, and "each month
thereafter meet and open such proposals,
land award to bidders, or such proportions
of raid bids, nail att - such rates as can be
paid with interest to the Commonwealth,
or as the condition of the Treasury, pres
ant or prospective, may justify."

account except simply to give notice in
two newspapers of how much money
there is in the Treasury, and the amount
of debt paid daring the month under the
first section. The third section relates to
keeping record of their proceedings,
end dem{ all the proposals in the office
of the Slate Treasurer. _
The State Treasurer is one of the three
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, and
he Is now required by the law (see Par
don's Digest, page 920, section 14) - to
render monthly accounts of all receipts
and expenditures "during the- preceding
mouth" to the Auditor General.
Beaten Sid of the ibl of 1858 specifies
the items of revenue that shall goitre the
Sinking Fund, and section second gives
the commissioners full power to apply that
feed to the payment of the principal end
interest the public debt-, and it farther
prescribes that It shelf be the duty of tee
C002191651011e111, In the month ief February
and August of each year, to &feign to the
Sinking Fund all other funds in the
Treasury, sot necessary for current out•
lays, and to meet the semi-Lazuli interest.
Now this section gives the commissioners
all the power of the first section of the
proposedemendineat of the Senator from
Lancaster.
They have aright to pay out the epe
eist revenues assigned to the sinking fund
to meet the interest and priacipsl of the
public debt, and also twice a year to es
sign all other "surplus funds in the treas.
ury" to the sinking fund, and pay it out
for the same purpose. Now, who doubts
their right to paythe Interest and lathe'.
pal as prueoted to them, or their right all
the time, every day in the year, to "re-
Delve sealed proposals for the payout of
the debt as far as the available fude will
reach? his is too plai for arement.'
Section T 'three of thir n
act o f 185$ no.
!lutes them to report to the Governer
"the amount received eider the act, the
amount of interest paid, and the amount
of the debt of the Commonwealth re.
deemed by them."
Section four (same act) requires also a
full report to be made to the Legislature
annually..- ,
Section lye (same act) declares th at
they shall keep enact minutes of their
proceedings, which shall be open et all
times forinspection. and their report shall
contain a detailed statement of their re..
eeipte sad diabursements, "the dates of
the purchase of the public debt, thepriess
paid, and the place where said sale was
effected."
Section six of this act requires separate
account to be kept of all moneys received
and disbu rse timed e this act • * " and
from Umo to as the fiends paid a s
may justify, "apply the samato the psi;
meat of the accruing interest of the public
debt and the principal at or before the
semi-annual payment thereof may he
come due." Now, whet is this? Is it
not full power, from day to day, ormonth l
to month, to pay the debt aid interest
"as the funds will justify?" Now, ob
. serve how closely the bill of the Senator
from Lancaster follows_the concluding
line of section six of the ct of 1858, as to
what is to be paid of the public debt fall
ing due, to wit: "At or before the semi
annual payment thereof may become
due." The Senator's bill, in Duties 1,
lino 7, reads that they are to receive pro.
poesle folany pa rt of the loan, ite., "next
beComing due. The Senator's bill has
not one check on the Commissioners or
Treasurer. They are left entirely at their
diwratiene. They are sot even to give
nonce for proposals; they are not re
quired to accept the lowest bids; but an.
der his they as award to bidders It
such rates as can be paid with interest to
the Commonwaalth, and they are to do
this, "or as the condition of the Teta- I
way . • may justify."
The act of 1808 prescribes that they
can pay either-late:est or principal (rem
time to time, as these "foods may justify." '
And then the Senator's amendment hits
not in it even the slender cheek °fan oath
to the correctness of the purchases wade
under the sealed proposals; that they
made the purchases fairly, , and at the
lowest market rates. Under this amend.
meat the greatest frauds could be perpo •
trated by men disposed to tie dishonest,
Suppose they would enter into a com•
bloatton, as they do la Wall street every
day, to bear the market and put down the
prices of the State securities, and then let
their friends buy, itaithen bull the max- I
. het well up, and then receive sealed pro
, posals and buy for the State. Ido not
sty this will be done, but it can be. Pru
dence would seem to bellow' that we
should proyideall the safeguardipossiele.
"Lead us not into temptation" is a woe
rule in statesmanship. No doubt our
present worthy and honest Secretary of
State and Auditor Genersl acting with
the Treasurer, would, in good faith, act
for the public good. But the smeadment
at the Senator frein Lancaster - is fur all
time, unless !spaded.
Senators, let us' do something la this
great matter worthy of ourselves, and that
will meet the just demands of the public,
so that when we return to oar celestite.
eats we as look an honest men in the
face, without the feu that there will be a
lurking suspicion in his mind that we
hive left the Treasury door open for the
old schemes of plunder and abuse, under
a mere slam Slid Pretense of a reform.
Adopt the Rouse bill, and you have what
the people welt. Adopt the amendment,
and, la my judgmeat, yen hale whit the
Treasury hawks want, whO are auxiously
expecting the defeat of the House bill and
the pump of the bill of the Senator from
Lancaster
Mr Speaker. • * • when the vote
;Oaken I hope It will not be shown that
the same votes that made General
Irwin Tressurer have been comb ined'to
defeat this just end preper measure of re. :
form. Tie people will, and ought to de
mand ex explanation of every 'vote given
on this bill. Mr. Mackey was fully la
mmed by his best friends and supporters,
that if reelected these measures of reform
would he demanded—and I know and
other Ilkeston end members of the House
know, that tome time previous to hie de
feat, and when he was confblent °fume's's,
he approved the Nouse bill now under
consideration; and further, I understand
that Mr. White, who proposed the bill,
consulted him, and received valuable in
formation upon the subject, before the
meeting of the Legislature. This being
true, it is no mere than what lades to Mr.
Mackey and his many friends throughout
the State, that it should be stated. I
would not have voted for Mr. Mackey If
'lnd netunderstood that he was fully
pledged for reform, and I know from Mr.,
White that howls pledged to wore:affair
bill. Now, let Gen. Irwin's friends walk '
up and toe the math, where - Mr. Mackey
and his friends are pledged to go. I had
myself prepared a bill, similar in its main
proeisions to the
. present, and I know
that Mr. Mackey was aware of the fact
that I would urge its passage; but al
though that blll coat me much anxious
thought and labor, I have consented to
forego action upon it, although It is re
ported favorably, le now on our files, in
order that this matter should net be em
barrassed, and because this bill having
passed the Rouse, I was impressed with
the belief we could paw it la the
Senate, while if we undertook to consider
other bills on the Bares subject, we should
use up the session and get nottdng.
Mr. Speaker, the people of the State
should be urgent to have the sinking
food applied to the extinguishment of the
public debt. Tbst - thud is solemnly
pledged by constitutional provision in the
following words, to pay that debt. After
reciting how the fund is to be raised, it
says: - "The slaking fend miy be increased
from time to time, by assigning to it any
part of the taxes, or other revenues of
the State, not required for the ordinary
and current expenses of the Goyernitint,
and unku, case of war invasion or in
surrection, no part of said sinking feed
shall be wed or applied • otherwise time in
the extinguishment of the public. debt,
until the amount of such debt Is reduced
below five millions of dollerk" Such Is
It
provision. The slaking fund has
It the proceeds or the sale of the public
works, and this land is, by the Constitu
tion, pledged for the single purpose of
paying the public debt—except in the
case of war, •ke...--- , and yet this fund has
been invaded before Mr. Mickey come
into office. It is, therefore, important
that the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund apply this as fast as possible to . the
for which it was created. • •

Mr. Wallace. to there any money in
the State Treasury other than that which
belongs to the sinking fund ?
Mr. Howard. I understand there la
not—that they have been borrowing

is that! Does It give any reason for
