TaE REFUNDING BILL.

Some of our Republican contemporaries
would do well to study the history of the
new refunding bill more closely before they
venture to approve it as measure which
has been Endorsed by the party, or by lead
ing fnanciers. The daily reports of the
proceedings of Congress ought to have en-
lightened these journals upon the subject,
supposing them previously ignorant con-
corning the principles of the bill. The truth
is that the Republicans in Congress have
fought the bill determinedly from the time
the rate of interest on the proposed new
bonds was fixed at three per cent; and
they have done this because they were well
aware that the three per cent. provision
was neither more nor less than piece of
Democratic demagogism, adopted for the
sole purpose of making party capital. All
the weight of evidence and all the au-
thority of knowledge and experience have
from the first been against this experiment
in reducing the rate of interest. 1t has

cent. bond could probably be foated, but
that one bearing lower rate of interest
would almost certainly fail. In order as
they thought to make the thing an assured
success, however, the Democrats inserted
what is called the Carlisle provision, or
fifth section, which provides that the Ma
tional Banks shall at once proceed to buy
three per cent. bonds as security for their
circulation. The Democrats imagined that
by forcing the banks TO buy the bonds in
this way they would insure the success of
the bill. What they proposed was to
coerce the banks to exchange five and six
per cent. bonds for three per cents as
security for their circulation. This was
to cut down the revenue of the banks
from two to three per cent, and i'll
many cases to make the difference between
profit and loss on. their circulation. The
banks very naturally and justly protested
against this act of conhscation, but it was
the action of the Democrats in Congress,
and not the course of the few banks which
retired their circulation, that produced the
panicky condition of last week in Wall
street. The Republicans are fighting the
refunding bill foot by foot, and apparently
entertain some hope of beating it by delay.
Should they fail in this, however, there
is reason to believe that President Hayes
may veto it, and if he does the country
will have good cause to thank him, and
the Republicans will then have the oppor-
tunity of bringing forward a rational bill.

over an emigrant camp. They demanded
that the works begun should be aban-
doned, not because the works had failed,
but because they themselves were too ig-
norant to know what constituted failure
under the existing conditions. They rep
resented from first to last nothing more
than the narrow, obstinate, stupid conser-
v&tism which is incapable of rising to the
hight of great community emergencies, but
which finds in an extra tax, even of five
cents on the hundred dollars, sufficient
justification for denouncing the object of
the tax as swindle. 1t is very fortunate
for Northern California, and indeed for the
whole State, that the San Francisco press
is at least as deficient in influence as it is
in intelligence, for had its power been at
all proportional to its stupidity it would
certainly have committed the community
to most disastrous policy in this con-
