Repeal Debated on Sub-Treasury and Bank Plan Clash
In a heated debate, supporters and opponents argue over repealing the Sub-Treasury act and replacing it with a new banking system.

Proponents push for a substitute bank, while opponents urge caution, citing constitutional and historical concerns. The discussion cites past Bank of the United States eras and warns against empowering discretionary Treasury actions.
