IRRlG ALTON BONDS.

Mr.. c. Nj. Splitter, a Boston banker, sug-
gesis that If counties in which irrigation
districts are located would issue irrigation
bonds. and levy the tax to pay them on the
property benefited, such county bonds would
find sale in Eastern cities. OF course the
legislation authorizing such issue of bonds
should limit the amount Of bonds that might
lawfully be issued. Practically Mr.. Spit
zer's plans would be equivalent to the
Endorsement o! irrigation bonds by the
counties in VIII ich irrigation districts are
located. The county would coll eet from
the property benefited. but would have
to pay toe bonds If it could not. The
Eastern capitalist would be willing to
ACCEPT county bonds. providing the same
do not exceed 20 per cent of the
assessed value of the property in the
irrigation district. The Boston PROPOSE
tons. or suggestions. would certainly give
the purchasers Of bonds excellent security
If all the property in the county should be
pledged for the payment Of the bonds.
The county would employ machinery 10
collect from the irrigation districts, but in
case OF delay or partial failure the county
would have to meet the obligations. There
would never have been any difficulty about
floating irrigation bonds in the PRINCIPAL
counties il they had had the credit OF their
several counties behind them. The Boston

a CINCH ON THE DEBTORS.

a Paso Robes correspondent sends us
vehement protest against the recent action
Of the House on the free coinage bill. He
says: THE Democratic party has boosted
for years that they were the friends of free
coinage. They now have an overwhelming
majority in the House, yet 1t takes the third
party congressman (who voted solid to
save the coinage bill from utter defeat
Our correspondent. VINO certainly means
to be just, should bear in mind that the
Democratic party has not il national con-
yentiOn declared for free silver coinage
under present conditions. 1t has declared
for gold and silver money. but declarations
In favor OF free coinage while silver is de-
preciated have been confined to localities
ln 1884 and in 1888 the Presidential candi-
date of the Democratic party was openly
a nd unequivocally opposed to free coinage.
good many of the best friends of silver
have voted against free silver coinage, not
because they were bought by gold but be-
cause they saw that free coinage at the
present time could have no other immediate
effect that to send gold to a premium. To
bring this matter home to our correspondent
we will suppose that lie owns 500 acres of
land worth $50 an acre. To make needed
improvements he has incumbered his prop
erty with a mortgage Of $4,000 We as
sumo that this mortgage is payable, prin-
cipal and interest, in gold, for there is no
evidence Of considerable sum of money
having been loaned in this State for several
years IN which gold was not specified as the
medium of payment. Now let Congress pass
free-Sllver-coinage act and let the difference
between the commercial value of gold and the
commercial value of silver be expressed by
premium on gold. That difference now is
about 80 per cent. Under unlimited coinage
OF silver the silver dollar would be the
dollar Of general business. Our correspon-
dent would sell his wheat his fruit or his
vegetables for silver. He would pay his
employees. his grocery and dry-gOods bills
and all other current expenses with silver
But when he goes to pay his interest the
holder OF the mortgage would demand gold.
1t would be in vain that our correspondent
might protest against the injustice of this
demand-that he might show By acts of
Congress that a silver dollar was a legal
tender. The mortgage-holder would point
TO his bond and the landowner would have
TO add 80 silver dollars to each 500 to buy
gold with. Our corresponds Mt will admit
that this condition is to be avoided If
possible. Every other means of bringing
silver up to parity with gold should be tried
before the desperate expedient of free silver
coinage is resorted to. THE CALL entirely
agrees with its correspondent that silver
and gold should form the basis OF our money
system. Every paper dollar should be pay
able in silver or gold at the option of the
debtor. But the 30 per cent gap between
gold and silver must be bridged som chow.
SO long as gold is at premium, even of 1
per cent. all general debts will be paid in
silver and all specified debts-debts In which
payment in gold coin is promised-will be
paid in gold.
