CAPITAL BUDGET.

PROPOSALS FOR THE SALE OF BONDS
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Secretary Fair
child gave notice this afternoon that on
Monday, April %, and daily thereafter, at
noon until further notice, proposals will
be received in the Office Of the secretary of
the treasury for the sale to the government
of United States bonds of the acts of July
Il. 1870. and january 20, 1871 Proposals
should state the specific character of the
bonds offered, whether coupon or register
ed and must be for the sale OF the bonds
with accrued interest to and including
the day of the sale The right is reserved
TO reject any and all proposals for the sale
of bonds if it is thought to be for the inter
est of the government to do SO.
This action of the treasury department
is the result of full and free discussion of
the subject at the cabinet meeting today.
1t is well known that the president and
Secretary Fairchild were DESTROYS of APP
plying a portion of the rapidly growing
surplus to the purchase of bonds before
the close of the present fiscal year and
that they had become somewhat impatient
at the delay on the part of con-
gress in clearly defining the powers
of the secretary Of the treasury in
the premises. The action of the house
yesterday, and the previous action of the
senate in regard to the bond purchasing
powers of the secretary under the existing
laws has finally removed all doubt in the
minds of the administration on the subject
as indicated by todays action. Secretary
Fairchild this afternoon refused to make
any statement in regard to the financial
policy of the department, except to say
that the circular issued today inviting
proposals for the sale of q L. S. bonds
told all that was necessary on the subject.
The amount to be purchased he said de-
pended almost entirely upon the amount
offered and prices asked

about 50 per cent. of our people engaged in agri-
culture can produce enough food to support all;
only themselves but the other two-thirds
also. The per cent. of persons engaged In pro
fessional and personal services, %, aud In trades

per cert or about one-third likewise: and these.
perhaps. would not bear much Increase; At least,
it would soon adjust itself to any change made
in the proportions Of the other classi6cations
mentioned. But what has all this process of
calculation got to do with the tariff! Why, it is
this. maintain our protective tariff. foster and
build up manufacturing industries, develop
our mines AMI resources generally. until more
gage therein. and the disproportion now exist
ing between agriculture and the other classif-
cations will be so reduced and modified that
the ttllers of the soil will have ready market
here at home for all their surplus food products
which they have to spare, and will not be de-
pendent on foreign markets for opportunity
TO dispose of what overplus they may have on
hand each year
OF all men living on American soil the farmer
should be more SOLICITORS to preserve the pro-
tectiye tariff than any other class, because it
will prevent his occupation from becoming over
crowded, and will enable him to have q ready
market for his grain and vegetables at home, IN
stead of being compelled TO ship his wheat to
foreign ports TO Liverpool, England. for in
tion with the wheat of India. Egypt and Aus
tralia, raised by the cheap labor of those coun-
tries, species of pauper labor which he cannot
procure, and would not use if he could. Self
interest. it strikes me, should prompt the farmer
to prefer protection to home industries OF sill
kinds, and ready market at his very doors.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis JournaE
want gas. want it bad and with the least
possible delay. I was in favor of letting the
Standard Oil Company come in practically on
its own terms, and yet believe that would have
been the best thing then. and best for all time
but the cry of monopoly was raised and that
company refused to come on the terms we de-
manded. There is . world OF cheap humbug-
gerry in calling names, and nothing is easier
than to call any man or set of mon monopollsts
who happen to have moro money than we have,
and who can therefore do a larger business We
call the Standard Oil Company . monopoly in
its oil business, because it practically controls
the oil business of the country. Yet the people
get cheaper and better oil than ever before We
call the Western Union monopoly, yet it goes
right along cheapening rates all the time; and
into few ''systemsr fare and freights are
cheaper than ever. and accommodations better.
When Doxey came and proposed to bring as
gas under the ordinance was for Doxey. When
the Indianapolis company bought Doxey out
and proposed to bring gas under the ordinance
was for the Indianapolis until one day it said:
s'See here, Standard Oil gone, and Doxey
gone and all the other fellows are too feeble to
do justice to the subject. now give us absolute
control for three years, and do it quick, or we
will never bulge another inch" then / went
back them. That was worse than the
Standard Oil by half Then the question of CO.
operation arose. I have no faith in the prin-
could make it go, and they went to work. They
have spent much money and promise to bring
gas in due season. The Indianapolis thought
they could not would not, but the thing
looks more like they will, and now the Indiana
polls comes forward and says: I'VE take it all
back; we will come if you will only do so and
So" For my part I think we had better take
them at their word They said they would not,
now let them alone. 1t would hardly be fair now
to those who. taking them at their word have
undertaken to supply gas at ordinance rates and
under ordinance restrictions. If that was the
only chance I might think otherwise What
they now ask seems to me to be worse than the
Standard Oil proposition. I don't want to hurt
anybody. If they cans afford to come, under
the ordinance, and others can guess will
have to let them stay out. u. S. SEE.
