To the Editor Of the Democrat:
| In your article OF June II, Bonds as Busi-
ness Capital you entirely misapprehend the
meaning OF the argument Of the delegate who
attempted to refute the Idea that refusal to
recognize as constitutional and legal the full
amount OF State consots now outstanding
would ruin private credit. The delegate
never intimated that State bonds did not
represent capital III the hands Of the holders.
He plainly conceded that the State bonds were
capital Id the hands Of the holders to the
exact amount OF the market value.
II "A bought $4,000 of State bonds at twen-
ty-tive cents on the dollar on the day Of pur-
chase, these bonds represented exactly $250O
capital, and II In six months the value rose
to fifty cents. his capital ID $4,000. On the
other hand, If B bought $4,000 at par and
they declined to fifty cents, B's capital will
have shrunk to exactly $4,000.
The idea that the speaker attempted to re-
fute was, that II five millions Of consols were
held In this State the adoption Of the report
Of the Committee on the State debt would blot
out and destroy five millions OF capital. This
could not happen, even II the whole were en-
tirely repudiated and II II were true that
$5,000,0o0 consols were held here This
SIS, 0OO, 900 really represents only q capital OF
s2 100000 at fifty cents on the dollar, Or cap
ital 81 100000 at forty cents on the dollar
Ii the whole $4,000, 900 cOnsols were held In
Louisiana they would represent capital III
the hands Of the holders of only $4,S0c,00o.
The speaker alluded to, attempted to show
that 1t was absurd TO attempt to increase the
prosperity OF the people OF this State by
fixing upon them and their property adebt OF
$12, 100000, which, with z per cent interest for
thirty-five years, would aggregate $41 AGO.
600, which would bear as q perpetual mort
gage upon the property and labor OF the peo-
pie !,
On the one hand, YOU have present capital
eiqn-of 81, 800, 600; on the other hand, you
have debt and mortgage of $41, 400, 900, with
out mentioning the cost and expense OF col
lection. and the curtailment OF production,
and the driving away OF capital, and the dis
enlargement to industry in imposing such
burden, which is shown to be- composed in
great part of illegal, unconstitutional and
fraudu1entiy issued bonds, for which the peo-
pie of the State have received no cOnsidera-
tion. This was the line of the delegates
argument. and you (unintent ntionally, no doubt
do not state it fairly. DELEGATE.
