Bridges and Bonds.
IRVING COLLEGE, Tenn,
March II, 1891.

March II, 1891,
To THE STANDARD:
| hope no one will consider me a
self-constituted public counselor be-
cause Of the few suggestions in this
submitted.
Our county has already passed up
on the matter of building a few good
iron bridges. To secure them as
speedily as possible is a matter Of
economy, since the county has decid-
ed to build them. But it is argued
that our taX>levy is not sufficient to
build even one year, and no one
favors, in these "hard times" an in
crease of taxation. Yet, it may be
possible to build them all in one year
at saving to the county and still not
increase the rate of taxation.
My idea is s:-Let our bridge
committee request our representative
to secure the passage of an act au-
thorizing the County to issue bonds
for bridge purposes. In the mean
time let bids be received upon the
bridges separately, also upon the
whole number. Let it be ascertained
what it will cost to build, say. four
bridges, let in separate contracts; also
what all four can be built for as sim
gle contract. Then if the difference
of cost is in favor of building all at
once, good financial sense suggests
the issuance of the bonds and the
building the bridges Immediately.
If the discount (and any company
will make discOunt) on the four is
equal to the interest of the bonds, then
by all means let the bonds issue.
Again if we need the bridges, their
use is worth the interest on the cost
of construction, if not, then the PEG,
pie made a mistake when they voted
to build free bridges, for after they are
built the use of them is the only re-
turn we will ever receive for the cap
tai invested.
In general ! do not favor the issu-
ance of interest bearing bonds for any
purpose, which bonds must be paid
by us and by those who shall come
after us, but there are exceptions to
all rules, and with the present lights
before me am little DESTROYS that
this matter be looked into and see
where our interest really is.
If bridge building be an evil, let US
get rid of it as speedily as possible
without engendering a greater evil.
But if bridges are a blessing-our
county needs a blessing-then let US
have the blessing "rigMROv."

goes off into kind of metaphysical
argument about the gold yard stick,
legislation directed to the lengthen-
ing of that yard stick, etc., which, if
it proves anything at all, proves our
assertion that gold has a standard,
fixed value, while the value of every
thing else fluctuates. The advocates
of free coinage, almost without eXcep-
ton, seem to be labOring under the
delusion that the opponents of the
measure have no interests in common
with the masses, that their purpose is
simply to increase the power of capi>
tai and cypress the masses. We be-
lleve men who have made financial
questions lifelong study are more
capable of Judging what is good and
what is bad financial policy, than
those who have given their lives to
other pursuits, and we do not believe
that all men who have been success
full in accumulating money are there
by become the natural enemies of
their less fortunate brothers. Be.
lieving that free coinage will have
just the opposite effect to that which
is claimed for it, we consider its op,
ponents better friends to the people
than its advocates.

Water Works.

In the charter of McMinnville per.
mission is granted for bonding the
town TO the extent of $4,000 for the
purpose Of putting in water works or
other public improvements. At a
meeting Of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen held last Monday night
it was determined to submit to the
popular vote, at the election to be
held for Mayor and three Aldermen
in May, proposition to issue bonds
for $4,000 or $4,000, for the purpose
of establishing water works and an
electric light plant. 1t is estimated
that a tax of 10 cents on each 800
will pay the interest on the bonds
and leave a surplus each year for a
sinking fund toward their final liqui-
dalton. A tax of 10 cents, with the
revenues from the lights and water
will pay running expenses, interest
on the bonds, and liquidate them en-
tirely in twenty years or less time
In compensation for this slight addi-
tional tax we will get a good system
OF street lights, fire protection and
drinking fountains for man and beast
as public benefits, to say nothing of
the many advantages to be derived
from water works by nearly every
citizen of the place. The full details
of the proposition have not all been
settled by the Board yet, but we feel
assured that it will be submitted in
such a shape as to command almost
universal approval from the voters,
tax payers and property owners of
the city. 1t will be long progress
sive step for McMinnville, and we
earnestly hope to see it consummat-
ed.

FROM occasional reports given out
by the Sparta EXpositor, the new cor
poratiOn there does not seem to be
proving a bowling success. Drunk
enness and disorder seems to be quite
as prevalent as when the town was
under the operation Of the four mile
law. Two things are absolutely es-
sential for the maintenance of law
and order in any town, viz: First,
courageous officials to execute the
laws without fear or favor, and Sec
ond, a healthy public sentiment be-
hind them to sustain such an admins
istration.

THE Carthage Record takes US to
task on the silver question, and says,
eve would like to ask the STAN
DARD what is the intrinsic value be-
hind the 1916, 100000 of greenbacks
now out" 1t is our information that
the issue of this kind of money is
limited by law to something like
four hundred millions. We do not
know that the government has any
specific basis for this money, but the
government gets the benefit of its
issue, and the faith, credit and honor
of the nation is behind it. With free
and unlimited coinage of silver the
government would get no benefit
from the coinage and would have no
interest in maintaining a fiCti-
cious or fiat value upon it. We be-
lieve the Democratic party a few
years back effectually stamped out a
movement lOI tllC lICC anu uIlllIllll6u
issue of greenbacks. Free and I'M
limited coinage of silver is but a re-
vival of the same principle. The
Record again asks what authority we
have for the statement that gold has
a fixed standard of value the world
over, but silver has not. We answer,
the simple fact that if one hundred
dollars of gold is melted into a bar it
is still worth just as much in that
shape as it was in gold coin, either in
the United States or any other coun-
try on the globe. 1t will buy one
hundred dollars in coin at the United
States Treasury or minis. 1t will
buy an amount of the gold money of
any other country equal to one huns
bred dollars of United States gold
coin. You melt one hundred silver
dollars into a bar, it is worth about
eighty-fOur dollars in the United
States, or an amount varying from
seventy-five to eighty-five dollars in
other countries. The Record then
