WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE?

The Springfield Republican discusses the
question of the responsibility for the poor
dam which occasioned the catastrophe at
Mill River, and thinks it belongs as much
to niggardly builders and owners as to
Bassett, the contractor, who is made to
bear the burden. There is so much JUS
tice in what the Republican says upon this
matter that its article is worthy of reading
The principle at the bottom is one that ad-
mits of wide application. Pinchcd con-
tractors and pinched workmen make in
sufficient work, not only Indians but in all
kinds of business where thoroughness is
desired and cheating possible. The Re-
publican says:
We observe a strong disposition among our
contemporaries to make Contractor Bassett
the scape-goat in this Mill River business.
This is natural, and, in a sense, inevitable.
The finite mind always seeks to bring the re-
sponsibility for such disaster home to one
man, and finds melancholy satisfaction in
having discovered some particular individual
upon whom to empty the walls of its just
wrath, which does not accompany the distri-
button of blame and condemnation among a
number of men and corporations.
Now, we have not a word to say in defense
of Bssset. BY his own confession, quite as
much as the testimony of the ruins Of his
flimsy work, he is proved to have undertaken
and carried through the most important job of
his life with sole eye to the amount of profits
he could put into his pocket, even after he
had been forced to confess to himself that the
dam he was building could not be expected to
stand. Nevertheless, the public, whose YER
diet will far outweigh that Of the coroner's
jury, is going to make great mistake if it
holds up this wickedly reckless contractor to
deserved execratien and lets off the other
people who were concerned in this criminally
sham enterprise.
The real responsibility for this murder and
ruin reaches back of Basset back of his asso-
ciate and subordinates, back of the engineer
and the surveyor. The men who ordered
dam built and then they were too niggardly
to pay enough to make it a safe dam,-they
are the ones who are primarily to blame for
the desolation of thriving valley. 1t was
their penurious and reckless spirit which
prompted and accepted the reckless work of
the contractors, which infected every body
that had to do with the job, which was, at
bottom, the reason that an unsafe dam was
built.
In short, it is only the old proverb over
gain Like master, like man. The employ
ers ordered a cheap dam, to keep as much
money as possible in their pockets; the con-
tractor made cheap dam the most cheaply
he could, to put as much money as possible
in his pocket. That is the long and the short

vantage Of this would be the strength given

vantage OF THIS WOuiQ De tHe streuBIu Blyen
to the country against time Of depression
resulting from war, failure of crops, or any
other cause, by keeping always in the hands
of the people large supply of the precious
metals. With all small transactions conduct
ed In coin, many millions Of it would be kept
in constant use, and, Of course, prevented
from leaving the country. Undoubtedly a
poorer currency will always drive the better
out of circulation. With paper legal ten
der, and at discount, gold and silver be-
come articles of merchandise as much as
wheat or cotton. The surplus will find the
best market it can. With small bills in cir
culation there is no use for coin, except to
keep it in the vaults of banks to redeem cir
culation.
During periods of great speculation and
apparent prosperity there is little demand for
coin, and then it will flow out to market
where it can be made to earn something. which
it cannot do while lying idle. Gold, like any
thing else when not needed, becomes a sur
plus, and like every other surplus it seeks q
market where it can find one. By giving ac-
tive employment to coin, however, its pres.
ence can, it seems to me, be secured, and the
panics and depressions which have &C.
cured periodically in times of nominal specie
payments, if they cannot be wholly prevent
ed, can at least be greatly mitigated. Indeed,
| question whether it would have been found
necessary to depart from the standary of spe-
Gle in the trying days which gave birth to the
first legal-tender act, had the country taken
the ground of no small bills as early as 1850.
Again, l would provide an excess of reve-
nue. over current expenditures. l would do
this by rigid economy, and by taxation where
taxation can best be borne. Increased reve
nue. would work constant reduction of in
terest, and would provide coin to meet the de-
mands on the Treasury for the redemption Of
its notes. thereby diminishing the amount of
bonds needed for that purpose. All taxes af-
ter redemption begins should be paid in coin
or United States notes. This would force re-
demption on the national banks. With meas
ures like these, or measures which would
work out such results, see no danger in au
thorzing free banking without limit.
