THE BONDS.
LETTER FROM A. BUSINESS MAN


LETTER FROM A BUSINESS MAN.
5trong Arguments in Favor Of Paying
tie Bcnds-Lets Accept the Bond.
Holders Proposition and Wipe the
lndebtdness cut and be Done with It.
PRINCETON, JUNE 5, 1877.
Editor Unions have been reading
both sides Of the bond story for some
time past; at first it seemed to me that
there was neither sense or Justice in
the proposed compromise, believing
that tie state was not bound to pay a
dollar of those old bonds; but, how.
ever, latel y, after having investigated
the matter little more closely, the
manner in which the bonds were is
sued, how the state pledged her honor
and her faith that the bonds should be
paid, and how the state virtually ac-
knowledged that I. she was re.
,po.sible for the payment Of the bonds
when she foreclosed the mortgag es; on on
The roadbeds because the companies
defaulted in the payment of the inter
est, have to the conclusion to vote
for the proposed compromise on the
18th Of June. Surprising the state did
let cheated-and Of that there's not
the least particle of douLt-the peo
pie went for the measure with their
eyes open, and it won't do to plead
the baby act; the state will have to
pay them some time-and perhaps
will be compelled to pay the principal
and interest il full; why not accept
the bondholders proposition now and
wipe out the thing and BE done with
it forever. am well aware Of the
fact that some Of the holders If these
bonds bought them fora mere nothing,
but then again there were
other parties who purchased them in
good faith and paid nearly their face
value. But that's neither here nor
there. the highest courts in the land
have decided that these bonds are 4
valid obligation against the state.

g. = 2
what e.. Minnesota linn needs is capital to
develop her almost unlimited resources asu
! have been told repeated y, and I be.
lieve il toSbe 4 fact, that the state has
more than paid the bonds twice over,
by the high rate OF interest our manu-
factlrers and business men have been
compelled to psy for money, and by
the loss it has sustained because capt.
talists would not invest owing to this
wretched old bond repudiating stigma.
The merchants Of st. Paul carry us
and we in turn carry the lumbermen
and l.;rnlcrs for Il season; now these
st. Paul merchants must borrow money
to enable them to accommodate their
customers, and hence the reason why
the business men of St. Paul and Min
neapo is are SO strongly in favor Of the
settlement.
Then again another reason-and the
principal one-why we should vote to
wipe out these old bonds: In few weeks
the proposition will be submitted to
the people of this codnty-and will
undoubtedly be carried-to vote ten
per cent. bonus Gin exchange for stock)
TO aid in building a railroad; Isanti
county will also vote bonus. Now
what will eastern men give for our
bonds g Or those Of Isanti supposing that
the proposed compromise is defeated,
and that these two counties give ma.
Jority towards helping to defeat it?
Why, they would say. ''those two
counties 'te'.v voted for repudiating the old
railroad bonds, what assurance have
we that they will not repudiate their
own county bonds?'' Our bonds would
not bring thirty cents on the dollar.
Voters Of Mile Laos county this is
something worth considering. Itcomes.
right home toian Of us. Its simply
matter of policy for the.people Of this
county to vote for the payment Of the
bonds.
Now, some people suppose that they.
will be taxed to death if the questions
IS carried; that's all nonsense. it is
proposed to issue new bonds bearing
SIX per cent interest, due thirty years
hence, for about one half the amount
actually due. and appropriate the
100000 acres Of Internal Improve.
ment lands towards payment of inter-
Est and principal Of these new bonds
The lands, brightly managed, will pay
every dollar OF the principaland in
terest. What good will the lands ever
do u.s. We will never derive a cents
benefit from them insahis county. We
had better devote them to the wipins
out of the bonds and have done with
all this repudiating business at once, as
to let some corporation gobble them
up for the benefit of St. Paul or Min
neapolis ! do sincerely hope and trust
Mile Laos county will vote for it's
own 'ntcrests-by voting for the can

taken for rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of

heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss

something which ought to have been
done. a slight, dry cough is some.
times an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene.

summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem.

A FRIEND OF Hayes is trying TO intimi-

is to be assassinated when he passes
through Baltimore on his way to Wash
ington. The story is sufficiently horrible
for all purposes; The train on which
HAYES is to travel is to be thrown from
the track; in case he is not crushed to
death, or burnt to crisp, or suffoeated
in smoke and cinders, lie is to be seized
murdered, drawn and quartered, and his
body hung up as warning to all future
returning board presidential candi-
dates. The correspondent who tells
this interesting story does not say
whether Hayes trust In the Almighty Ii
strong enough to induce him to under
take his journey through Baltimore in
the face OF it or not.
