PAYING IN SILVER.

The intimation that the treasury may
relieve itself from necessity 10 issue bonds
by paying class of treasury notes in silver
has been cOntradicted. The latter report
IS probably true. The measure is one Mr..
Carlisle would not be likely to favor. 1t
would be a discrimination against notes
issued under the Sherman act of 1890 1t
should be remembered that this silver was
purchased at its gold price, that is, when
the silver bullion ia dollar was worth but
so cents in gold 80 cents in treasury
notes was given for it. The treasury notes
we're issued on that basis, and If any Gov
eminent notes are redeemable in gold it is
lhose u otes that were given in place Of gold
AS matter OF law. however, they are paw
able in gold or silver at the option of The
Government But as a matter of equity
silver can only be used in payment when
the silver dollar is at par with the gold
dollar. Otherwise the treasury would be
open to the charge of having bought the
amount OF silver 10 a standard dollar for 80
cents by promising TO pay the so cents in
gold and, in fact paying the so cents in
silver. One need not look far into the
future 10 see that if treasury notes are paid
ia silver while legal tender are paid in gold
treasury notes will be rated at a discount.
The Treasury Department would then have
TO face the charge Of disconntng its own
raper. The Washington dispatch which
announces that these treasury notes will ba
paid in silver says also: "Their redemption
in gold has been a matter of accommo-
dation on the part of the Treasury
Department, as the law gives the Secre
tary of the Treasury discretion as to
whether they will be redeemed in gold or
silver"
This dispatch is misleading. The law
gives the Secretary the discretion as 10
whether payment should be made in gold
or silver, but with an understanding, grow
ing out Of long usage that the silver dollar
should be maintained at par with the gold
dollar. The law makes legal tender pay
able in gold or silver at the option Of the
treasury. But in the fourteen years since
the redemption act went into force not
legal tender dollar has been paid in silver,
except al the desire Of the holder. There is
an especial reason why no discrimination
should be made against treasury notes
issued under the act of 1890 Every dollar
OF these notes was issued against value re-
eeiyed. dollars worth of silver at its
gold valuation was received for each dollar
note. But legal tender was kind of forced
loan. The Government paid It's debts win
Its notes. 1t was not optional with the
creditor whether he should have legal
tender or coin. lie had to take what he
could get. But the owner of silver was un-
uer no obligation to sell his silver. He
ala sell at its gold valuation because he had
lalth In the Governments promise to pay
Tor an article purchased at its gold yalua-
ton In gold. The scheme of the Treasury
Department to pay treasury notes with silyer
Is an Indirect way TO repeal the act Of 1890.

FROM THE ISLANDS.

a private letter from resident of Homo
lulu represents the American enthusiasm
as on the decline. The sugar. planters were
never quite sure that annexation was the
best policy for chem. Contract labor is not
essential, but an unrestricted supply of
foreign labor is. Our correspondent con-
cludes that free trade between tie islands
and the United States, with an American
protectOrate. would perhaps be a popular
solution of the problem. To Americans
who are not free-traders on principle the
question viii arise as 10 how free trade be-
tween the United States and the islands
can be seriously considered. The policy Of
the United States is to exclude contract
labor from Europe and the cheap labor
from China. But il we have free trade
with the Islands and allow the Islands to
import cheap labor without restriction, we
are throwing open orr markets to the
products Of cheap labor while excluding
cheap labOrers. Tie inevitable result
would be that work which our people
ought 10 DO would be done elsewhere. The
islands cannot have free trade unless they
conform 10 The American policy in respect
TO the importation Of labor. They can only
be certain of the American markets by
becoming part of the United States. The
beet-sugar men of California and other
States will not relish competition with
cane-sugar planters whose labor costs less
than half as much as the labor OF
the cane sugar planters. 1t is just
possible that cheap labor is not so
much a necessity as the Island plant
ers suppose. With their immense natural
advantages Of soil and climate, why may
they net pay labor as good wages as
sugar-producers elsewhere2 When we 60
to the root of things we find cheap labor the
disturbing element everywhere. Il-paid
labor is always peril to a country. Years
may pass in which there is no open revolt,
but one is always slum bering. Belgium
has made rapid gains in manufacturing of
late, but the people are now in arms against
the Government. Their Industrial gains
have been a result of cheapening of labor,
but the cheap laborer is now making his
protest heard. II wages everywhere the
world over could be doubled by a decree the
interests that now strive to keep labor
cheap would be better off There would be
some advance in the value of the products
of labor, but prisons and charitable institu-
tons would cost less. The market for the
products of labor would also be enlarged by
enabling the laborer to become a more lib
eral customer. The cost OF holding labor
down is greater than the cost of allotting TO
workers wages sufficient to support them to
live in comparative comfort.

A FRANK AYOWAL

Some correspondence has taken place
between Secretary w. II. Evans OF the
Napa Valley Fruit Association and Freight
Agent Smurr OF the Southern Pacific In re-
spect TO rates on green fruit. The valley
association wanted Napa to be made ter
minal, and thereby relieve the fruit of that
valley from some portion of the burden it
has borne. In reply to the application
the freight agent is quoted in the Napa Her
aid as saying:
We have heretofore sought to make every con-
cession practicable to enable Napa TO reach
Eastern markets for her products at most adj
yantageous rates and this Is sim our desire In
pursuance OF this policy, we have made Napa
common point On all easlDound business that
could within reason be cons lrued as subject 10
competition OF craft plying from the port of san
Francisco via Panama or Cape Horn. When we
reach the item OF green fruit, however, we find
one that is net susceptible to this ocean COM
petition.
Two conclusions are warranted from this
letter. First, the compaHy's charges are
not based upon the cost of service; second.
that whatever reductions have been made
between other points have been forced upon
the Southern Pacific by water competition.
The water route cannot take green fruit to
market, and consequently green fruit must
pay all the traffic will bear.

A little examination Of the subject will
convince our contemporary that it has

not spring out Of resolutions. 1t was the
result Of hard work and a heavy contribu-
tion OF hard cash. Il now promises to be a
business success, but there was time
when subscribers TO stock were laughed at

AFTER MAY <.

After the 9Th of May only Chinese labor
ers who have certificates showing that they
were lawfully in the United States before
that date will be lawful residents Of the
country. Under the law all others win be
subjectto deportation. Until within month
or so there had been no doubt of the purpose of
the Cleveland administration to enforce tine
Jaw. The dignity OF the nation was involved
in enforcement. The Government could not
atford to admit either that it could not en-
force the law or that enforcement was a
matter of indifference. Within the last few
days the 6utter in Chinatown has quieted
down. The Chinese no longer fear the ell
forcement of the law. The revenue officials
who had made preparations to arrest Chinese
who did not have certificates after the period
for registration had expired are now doing
nothing. 1t is said that the Department of
Justice will take charge of the enforcement
of the law. Among Americans there is now
no confidence that the law will be executed
