MR.. PARNELL AND Mr.. GLADSTONE

MR.. PARNELE AND Mr.. GLADSTONE
Mr. Parnell is willing to give the new Cabi-
net time, but insists that Home Rule must have
precedence over land legislation. That is the
core of the important statement of his views
published in yesterdays special cable dis
patches to THE TRIBUNE. He does not con-
slider five weeks too long period for the prepa-
ration of the mOmentous scheme which the
IRISH members now expect but he warns the
Government not to mistake the sentiment of
the island but to give preference to Home Rdlc,
leaving the Irish Parliament free to deal with
the land question. This statement is i'll accord
with Mr.. Parnell's policy. He has always con
sidered land grievances and aRrarian agitation
as means rather than ends. Home Rule is the
question of paramount importance. in which he
has gradually succeeded in interesting the
Irish constituencies; and he has never con-
cealed his purpose OF making use of the land
agitation as convenient method OF working
out political ends Now that success seems to
be within grasp, he does not want to lose the
leverage which the land question gives him.
He prefers TO have that question kept open
until an Irish Parliament is formally granted.
Mr. Gladstone for his part maintains absolute
silence. He promises to bring forward import
ant Irish measures on March %, and i'll the
meantime probably expects Mr.. Morley to Sc
cure the suspension of evictiOns by which the
tenantry are now harassed and provoked to
acts of violence. Concerning the nature scope
or magnitude of his Irish measures he has not
one word to say. The only significant feature
of his address to Midlothian for reelection was
the succession in which he mentioned Irish
questions social order, land tenure and Home
Rule. The inference to be drawn was that he
intended to deal with these questions i'll the
order named and to defer Home Rule until land
legislation could be completed. This assump-
ton he has taken pains to repudiate in Parlia-
ment. When u leading Conservative repeated
the phrase and took it for granted that legisla-
ton would be arranged so as to follow the order
indicated, the Prime Minister emphatically
shook his head and subsequently remarked that
these questions in coming up Tor settlement
would work into each other"
Mr.. Gladstone has succeeded in conveying
both to Englishmen and lrishmen the i'm
preston that he is prepared to grant Home
Rule, and at the same time has not committed
himself definitely to any measure OF line OF
policy. He Iepudiated every account of his con
version TO the Nationalist policy published after
the general election. His speech on the address
to the Crown contained many passages which
we're vociferOusly cheered by Mr.. Parners
followers, but from beginning to end there
was not a single clear and uneduivocal state
ment of his own views or any indication OF the
lengths to which he was prepared to go in con-
ciliating Irish sentiment. Never was great
nation left so completely in the dark respecting
its Prime Minister'S purposes in momentOus
crisis. An ominous shaking of the statesmans

nathy nor is he entitled to any," True money
represents manual labor of average uniformity
of value. and is therefore the best measure Oh
the value of labor and all other products OF
Labor. Gold, being produced by manual labor
rather than by capital applied to production, is
a better measure than silver, Mr.. Scott MAIN
tains. But he holds that this country should
prcscrvc a true bmetallic position, not driving
ont either gold OF silver, that it may be pest
prepared to meet possible emergencies IN the
future. Silver, he thinks, is the natural coin
for subsidiary money to be used III retail zeal
ings and he submits novel and interesting data
TO prove that the amount of subsidiary money
used per caDid curiously corresponds IN Eng
land, Germany. France and the United States
He then takes up the argument that France,
with a large silver circulation, should be our
model, and shows that this country has
larger supply of money than other countries
though it really requires less because OF the
general use of banks. He proves that france
was subject to immense losses and great en-
barrasSmcnts by rca ,on of its silver circulation
i'm PAYING the German indemnity, and, by COM
pairing the wages of labor demonstrates that
the French monetary system results in lower
are known in other countries. y strong point is
the argument that the South and the Southwest
stand i'm peculiar need of more capital Tor Tail-
way building and the development OF re-
sources and that the continued coinage OF silver
and the fear that gold may be driven out cause
distrust and lock up capital.
Mr. Scott argues in support of his BILL which
suspends the coinage until there shall be less
than S2O,OOOOOO standard silver in the
Treasury. but provides that there may then be
coined enough to bring up the unused reserve
10 that amount, even though that may require
coinage of $2O,OOO.O00 in a single month.
This measure leaves the people to settle the
question for themelves, he urges. II they want
more silver, il gives them more; II they do not
wanr more, it does not force the coin upon
them. This reasoning is clear and strong
that it is difficult to see how it can be answered
by the advocates of coinage. Mr.. SCOTS
theories look to the employment of silver AZ
subsidiary money only, and in that respect are
omen To criticism. But his bill is devised to
meet the views OF sincere bimetaili-ts who do
not want to drive gold out of the country and
vet wish 10 continue the coinage OF all the silver
the country can actually use. The Democrats
who refuse 10 sustain their own Administration
SO far rs to support SD moderate n measure,
give clear proof that they mean ut bottom to
force the country to a silver basis, and 10 drive
gold ont If uSc and are ready to break down
their own Administration because 1t will not
aid that cudcavor.

IN DEMONSTRATIONS DEMOCRAT SPEAhS.
The Administration has at last one capable
defender in the House among its political
friends. Mr.. Scott, of Erie, has made n
strong speech in favor of the suspension OF
silver coinage, and uphoding the AdministIa-
ton in its recommendations and lis course.
This speech deserves the more credit because 1t
comes from n new member, known for his
ability in practical life, but not hitherto a
recognized power in financial discussion. His
argument would do credit to many OF the most
experienced financial dcbatcrs. and extracts
from it are given elsewhere, that it may be seen
on what ground the Administration is supported
by Democrats.
Mr. SCOTS first point is a very effective one,
namely, that the Treasury would discredlt
SILVER # it should force that metal upon any one
who did not want it, because 1t would thereby
imply that in the opinion of the Treasury silver
was worth less than gold, and that it paid out
the poorer money in order to reserve the better.
Money ought to be made alike good for ali sorts
of citizens. Mr. Scott urges: " If there be in
circulation goud dollar and poor dollar. the
rich man will always get the good dollar and
" the poor man the poor dollar. Congress
ought to protect the poor man; the rich man
" can take care of himself. He needs no sym

REPEAL THE B1ELEM BRIDGE J0R

REPEAL THE H1ELEN BRIDGE JDB.
The Assembly Committee on Cities has be-
fore it bill repeating the jobbcry act under
which the Harlem River Bridge Commss toners
are proceeding. No time should De lost in Ic-
porting the bill. The Legislature ought to pass
it promptly. Some people may think that It
would be useless to repeal the Punkitt act, be-
cause Andrew II. Green, fortified with the
active influence Of Mr.. 1ildcn, could, perhaps,
induce Governor Hill to veto the repeal. Let
the Governor then take the responsibility OF
saving 10 a taX-ridden city: Yes, know you
are weighed down heavily. ! know that taxa
ton is becoming unbcarablc, and that your
public debt is far past the constitutional limit.
81 know, too that this act enables the Commits
sioners to spend your money to any amount
they like, and that they seem bent upon
spending at least two millions But then,
Won know some o. my friends own Harlem
River property which they would like to sell
for n big price and though the building OF
" this bridge might reasonably be postponed for
" n generation or so, yet my friend Mr. Green
" and my friend Mr.. Tllden want it, and 80, ON
:" the whole, ! am constrained TO veto the re-
"pealr If the Governor thinks he can afford
to take position Of this kind, let him, and let
the responsibility of it be his. For in whatever
language he may clothe such n veto message,
facts are facts. and it would mean precisely
what We have said.
The situation is in no way changed since Mr..
Hamilton introduced his measure Of repeal, cx
cept that The TRIBUNE has forced the Com
missioucrs TO back out of a VIGOROUSLY bad bar
gain which, az they said in their letter to the
Corporation Counsel, only awaited his approval
as to FORM to be executed. Their shifty
and evasive report to the Assembly in no way
affects the fact that they were committed to
this monstrous contract. We shall charitaby
assume that their fragrant abandonment OF the
city's rights grew out of their ineXperiencc
and crcdulity but that affords the public II
particular consolation and even less confidence.
Indeed, in their report the Commissioners
ominously talk about plans involving over
81, O0O, 900, when it is entirely obvious that
safe and handsome structure could easily be
put up for $1,000, 900. All these things
demonstrate c0nclusiycly that the present Com
misoners as well rs the present act are not to be
trusted to do the work properly and ecOnomi-
caly The best way to treat the matter Is to
wind it up before any further expense is in
CURED, and to wait for that improvement until
the public treasury is better able to stand it and
until the exigencies Of the city, rather than the
speculative interest of few rich property
owners, require it,

GENERAL BUrLERS TELEPHONE POINTS,.
General Butler complains that the news
noners have treated Mr. Garland with marked
unfainess In the first place, they have not
emphasized the fact that he received the tcle-
phone stock "bcfOrc be took Office" This,
General Butler AYERS, has not been brought out
by the journals which have attacked the At
torncv-Gcneral Well, there was very good
reason why that statement shOnld not have
brcn brought out. 1t was not true. Mr.. Car
land received the telephone stuck Of we can
depend upon Mr.. Curtis, his special advocate)
in February, 1883. He then held a very i'm
portant olice--that of United States Senator.
lie did not acquire the stock, us General Butler
asserts, in perfectly legitimate way, but took
il as a gIt-a big line of it, tOO-at time when
important legislation affecting patents was
pending before Congress.
The second ground of complaint mentioned
by General Butler is the suppression OF the fact
that the proposed Government suit Is the only
one that can affect the character of the Bell
patent as between its owners and the people.
Let us for the sake of argument concede every
point which General Bntler makes. Let us adj
NIT that this method of testing the validity of
patent Is ItRli illu pIbpcl anu n'H b'Ih Ai'-
qu,ntly employed; that the Government pro-
ccrdngs have a marked advantage over the
judicial proceedings soon to be carried before
the United States Supreme Court; and that
while other suits are decisive between in
diyiduals this extraordinary cXpedient Is ncccs-
sarv in order to determine the honesty of the
patents upon which an oppressive mon
opoly is grounded. Let rs make every cOncrs-
SION which General Butler solicits, and, dis
claiming all sympathy with the Bell monopoly
frankly admit that it would be n great gain for
the public if the patents could be invalidaled.
What follows
Does not General Butler perceive how untort-
innate it is that proceedings which he insists
are necessary and will be of great public bcnc-
fit should be vitlted 10y the AttQrncy-Gcn-
erals ownership of stock in rival telephone
companies7 viii it be decisive victory for
the business community to have tn Bell patents
set aside Very well; the Attorney General
and the speculative statesmen have fatally
COMPROMISED the Governments case and are
to-day aiding and abetting the Bell Company.
If their hands were clean and if the honor OF
the Department of Justice were unsullied, the
chances of breaking down this unpopular
monopoly would bc greatly improved. As 1t Is,
the Bell lawyers can make out a strong case of
Government persecution from interested and
sUrdid motives.
