THE DEBT QUESTION.

We are really at loss to determine
the relative merits and demerits of the
various schemes to reduce the debt.
In public as we'll as private affairs it is
q difficult thing to reduce indebted
ness in any just way except by paying.
We cannot see, tor instance, why
the owners of the Morton, Bliss bonds
should be required to submit to re-
duction of their claims for principal
and interest. Their bonds have just
been decided to be perfectly legal.
Why should they be willing to take less
than the face of their bonds?
The old bonds are in the same con-
dition. The taxpayers convention
admitted that about nine millions OF
the then existing debt was legally con-
tracted, and they pledged themselves
to favor payment.
The only class Of bonds which seem
open TO attack are the conversion
bonds. Yet they have been validated
by the Legislature and the supreme
court has decided that the validating
act was constitutional and binding on
the state.
Then, admitting that it would be a
good thing .or bondholders and the
state, if the debt could be reduced by
q scaling process, in which the state
would agree hereafter to pay interest
on a new bond, which should be ex-
changed for the old bonds, what &C.
curity could the state give to bond
holders that the interest would not be
again allowed to default and accumu-
late, and that some future Legislature
would 60 into the scaling business to
relieve another financial pressue?
Then, this proposition to scale the
floating debt is fraught with injustice
and inequality. Shal! the salaries of
our auditors, solicitors, Judges, pro-
fessors, etc., be scaled down as we'll as
the pay certificates and Parker's notes. 7
If the state was like private bank
rupt, with q lot of assets to divide
among creditors, the case would be
different. But the state only offers
to change large note for a small one,
giving at the same time no more
security for the payment of the one
than the holder already has for the
other.
Then the proposed issue of bills
receivable adds another feature. We
don't think much of the argument of
the Union. Herald man, that they Of
ford relief to the laboring man. He
will see mighty few of them. But the
holders ofstate paper will be benefited.
They will get something they can
realise on and so it will be popular
with many-not all radicals either.
