NOT TO BE TAX ON THE CITIZENS.
The fact that the establishment aud MAIN
tenance of the national capital was regarded az
in every sense national undertaking and NOT
one of which the people Of the city were TO be
compelled to largely bear the burdens is shown
by the above letter and by one which will now
read, written by Daniel Carroll Of Duddington,
one Of the original proprietors Of the land in
the city Of Washington, and which was written
in reply to a communication Of Henry J. Brent,
dated July "a. 1887. propounding an inquiry a.
to the manner Of the relinquishment Of right
in the streets Of the city to the general govern
ment. Mr. Carrolls reply was as follows:
I'm answer to yours, l fear that the deeds
will fully express the relinquishment Of right
in the streets to the government. Ineverthe-
less perfectly remember that the general opin-
ion was that SO great was the gift that the citi-
zens would never be subject to taxation for the
improvement Of the streets-having relin-
pushed every alternate lot to the government
Indeed some were SO wild a. to suppose the
donation WAS SO great the government might
pave the streets with ingots Of gold or silver.
After nearly half a century the result IL now
fully known; the unfortunate propr,etors are
generally brought to ruin, and some with
scarcely enough to buy daily food for their
families. This subject il SO truly frightful TO
me that hate to think Of it, much less to write
Of it,"
All the writer's who have considered the CON-
tcquouCce Oh tue ESTABLISHMENT OF the CITY OF
Washington on the fortunes Of the land ownert
in the city have assumed that the conversion Of
their farms into city lots was attended with an
extraordinary addition to their wealth; on the
contrary, the fact ID that owing to the destruc-
ton OF the land for farming purposes and the
lack Of demand for the lots into which the
| farms had been divided, coupled with In
creased taxation, which they were unable "a
pay, the land owners were in reality in most
instances seriously embarrassed, and many Of
them. stated by Mr.. Carroll, were brought
| to bankruptcy and ruin.
BAD TINES FOB THE P1oPx1rx owHxHA
David Burma one Of the largest of these
owners, wrote TO the commissioners Of the city
ON the 4th Of November, 1854 making strong
appeal for advances ON account Of the portion
Of his lands which had been taken for public
| purposes, stating that he was badly eircum-
stanced and that his house was full Of creditors.

respect to theirs 1t was projected upon a
scale OF magnifcence in the width OF the
streets which made it impossible for the NUM-
/ cipality unaided to make provision for the
paving and keeping in repair Of sidewalks and
carriageways Of the extraordinary width con-
templated. yet for upward of three-quarters Of
century the corporation OF the city OF WASH
| ington exhausted its funds in a hopeless effort
to do so. 1t was not until several years after
| the late war that Congress awakened to a re-
alization OF its duty in the premises.
The city was long critic ed the 'city Of
magnificent distances" A witty French lady
in the early part Of this century referred to
Washington q lefty Of streets without
houses and to Georgetown as a ''city Of
houses without Streets When we consider
the plan of Washington the reason for the first
portion of her remarks is obvious. The latter
portion was prompted by the fact that George
town was built upon a succession Of hills, and
the lack OF uniformity at the time in the grade
of the streets gave an irregular appearance of
the houses.

1t makes us tired to hear financial
know-it-alls say there can be no such
a thing as asdouble standard dollar,
and then repeat the old worm-eaten
musty chesnut of a double standard
yardstlck, and then prate about a
fifty-eight cent dollar and 100 cent
dollar. If such rot conveyed any
idea at all, it would be that copper
was the standard for money values,
and everybody knows that the metal
contained in 100 copper cents OF the
present coinage, was never worth as
much as either 25-s grains Of stan
dard gold or Al grains Of standard
silver. Also that a. United States
gold dollar. outside of the United
States, is worth only just what the
marketprice happens to be at that
time for 23-2 grains of pure gold,
and that the price Of gold bullion,
the world over is no more staple
than silver on any other commodity
of commerce which is governed
by demand and supply. When the
production Of gold is materially in
creased as was the case along in the
fifties, by the discoveries Of rich
mines, the price went down, and
when the metal becomes scarce it
goes up. The standard dollar is
simply a creations the government

generally conceded that the Iowa

demanded it's repeal, and the

this flourish of rhetoric has been
heard in two halls of congress and
read IN some newspapers. If it
were in any sense true, then there
would be room for fear that the party
might loose q contingent Of its sup
porters. The repeal of the Sherman
act, on the contrary, cannot effect
the status Of the silver we have
issued as money. Every dollar of
it remains. If the Sherman act is
not repealed the Government yill
merely go on issuing promissory
notes for bullion, and silver will be
nothing. more than it has been;
nothing more than token.money

metals at parity.
There is no death knell about it
not even serious change in the
condition of silver. We ought to
make a change to free coinage:
Perhaps we would have been by
this time close toit, if the bullion
purchase had not been so dear to a
few persons that stand was ordered
i'll defence of the Sherman act.
The democratic party will settle
the silver question and settle it right.
After the death-knell figure of
speech goes out of circulation, and
all friends of silver address them
selves to real coinage settlement,
the clouds that fill the nervous with
foreboding will disappear quickly.
On the other principal issues the
party is harmony. Not only in
harmony within itself, but full of
compativeness. Before the fifty
third congress and the Cleveland
administration are a yeah in office
the people will be enthusiastic over
the march Of constitutional reform.
The democratic party is just getting
warmed up.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, D, c., Sept 90,

w ASHlSGTON, -. ", SepC ".
Senators VOORHEES,, German and
Palmer, at different times this week
took occasion to defend President
Cleveland from the newspapers
charge, which Senator Stewart mis-
takenly dignifcd by reading in the
Senate, of attempting by the use of
patronage to control the legislative
branch of the government, of course
everybody in Washington knows as
well as these three Senators do, that
President Cleveland needs no de-
fence, but there may be people else
where who are liable to be misled
by constant reiteration of the charge.
When Senator Palmer told Senator
Stewart that if he would name one
Senator who had been controlled by
the President through patronage he
would gladly join him in getting a
resolution passed providing for an
investigation, Senator Stewart did
not name a senator. Why?
Simply because he knew of none.
Senator Gorman's few remarks on
the subject covered the case fully.
He said: 81 am not the mouth
piece Of the President. His patron
age know nothing Of, or care moth
ing for. I neither have it nor want
it. No President has ever been SO
careful to avoid the appearance Of
distributing patronage for his own
ends. He has scare ely done his
party justice"
! Everybody has heard of that fire.
quently mentioned article "Senator-
ial courtesy" but with all due
respect to the eminent and dignifed
gentlemen who compose the U. s.
Senate it must be said that ssSena-
torial discourtesy" more truly applies
to the numerous sstiffs' between
senators which have been, such a
feature of the debate this week.
Space forbids their enumeration,
but one specimen will give general
idea Of all Of them. Senator Vol
cott referred to SenatorsG German and
Aldrich as steerers Of the Senators
who favor the Voorhees, repeal bill
and told Of their having decided to-
begin next week holding twelve
hour sessions ofthe senate. Senator,
aorman insreply said: aThis is the
frst time thatI have ever known
4 Senator Of his agent to listen at.
the committee room doors to tell
the Senate Of the private conferen-
ces Of Senator's on any subj ject what
#eyer.''
The ultimate fate Of the Voorhees,
billis still very much in doubt.
