BONDS-GOLD OR SILVER.

1S is said that some doubt Is entertained
whether the bonds the Harbor Commits
sloners are authorized to Issue can be made
payable In gold. II not it Is inferred that
capital will refuse to take them. This is
an example of the disturbance to indus
tries resulting from Mr.. CleveIand's at
tempt to set up the single gold standard.
Under the laws that were in operation
before the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act was repealed all national
bonds were made payable in coin. The
treasury rule was, however, to pay In gold,
and It was under this rule that the high
premium on bonds was reached under the
Harrison administration. The status of
the silver dollar since the repeal of the
silver purchasing act is not clear. The
clause repealed was a substitute for the
provision made for the coinage of silver
by the BlaDd-Allison act. but it has never
Deen determined to what extent it repea aled
the act OF which it puIported TO be an
amendment. No one contends that the
clause in the Bland-Allison act providing
for silver coinage is revived, but there
seems to be some doubt whether the clause
In the Bla act making silver full legal
tender survives recent legislation. The act
OF 1873 made gold the unit of value With
out repeating this act it would only be
possible for Congress to declare certain
number of coined grains of silver OF a
certain fneness the equivalent OF the gold
dollar. This the Bland act did. But If
the Bland act is wholly repealed all bonds
issued under the law of 1873 making gold
the unit of value are payable in gold.
Another question arises for consideration.
Ii the word gold" is inserted in the body
of bond it will carry an obligation to
pay gold even after change in our laws
making the silver dollar the unit of value.
Such change is not improba ole. In fact
II seems inevitable. The amount OF gold
in the world is inadequate TO perform the
service imposed upon it. The movement
of few millions across the Atlantic or
from one European country to another
affects values in all the gold countries.
The rise in gold is another form for ex-
pressing fall in commodities. The busi-
ness world will not long be content with a
financial system which involves a steady
depreciation of the products of industry,

fire. The country is being told that legis-
latlon which protects American industries
against the industries of foreign countries
is unconstitutional Had this theory been
promulgated thirty years ago and domi-
mated our legislation during that period
there would have been no Bessemer steel
works in Colorado or elsewhere in the
United States. No duty has ever been
levied on foreign product more clearly
protective than the duty on steel rails.
Ihe duty had to be high TO attract capital
into American enterprises, laboring as
they did under the disadvantages of mex
perience both in design and in execution
AT hrst the workmen were mostly foreign
ers, for the reason that Americans had not
mad opportunities to become skilled in that
line of business. But protection was con-
tlnued year after year, the rates of duty
being reduced from time to time. but al
ways kept at q sufficiently high figure to
cover the cost between American and for
elgn productions. For some years Ameri-
can mills have practically moDopoliZed the
manufacture of steel rails. The industry
now seems to be reaching West. Carnegie
shuts down his mills and the Colorado
company opens with a heavy contract
which will give employment to 2500 men
all next summer.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

The first election in New Zealand under
the new law providing for woman suffrage
took place on November IS. 1t passed off
without disturbance or excitement. The
ladies seem to have generally exercised
their new rights, but it was not plain when
the papers at hand were printed that the
result of the election had been essentially
modified by their votes, though the defeat
of certain candidates of notoriously bad
personal character was ascribed to female
interposition. 1t had been expected that
the ladies would throw their weight in TO
the prohibition scale. They do not seem
to have done so. Some prohibltionist can
didates were badly beaten.
On the whole the experiment appears to
demonstrate that where women vote they
divide as men do, and are likely to commit
mistakes as often and not oftener than
they.
The cornerstone Of society is the family
il the acquisition Of political rights diverts
wOmen's attention from their families and
their households, the gain to them will be
loss to society, and women will have to
bear their share of the loss. Ii it is proved
by the New Zealand experiment that no
new moral force is to be injected into
politics by women; if it merely results
in expanding the vote on the same lines
which it took under male suffrage, the
question arises whether it is safe to risk a
loss TO society in general and to women in
particular for the sake of simply increasing
the number of votes polled

culies that engineersr cannot estimate
with exactitude. The weight of opinion Is
that it may be done. In fact it is not safe
: to place limit upon the success of en-
gineering with plenty of money at hand.
If there were no Nicaragua route the pos
sibilities of the Tehuantepec route would
become live question. Whether that or
the Panama route would come next in
order is open for engineers to discuss. But
nature has provided a route between the
two oceans that presents only financial
difficulties. No one disputes the practic-
ability of the Nicaragua route. No one
doubts either that If constructed without
more than the ordinary waste it can be
made TO pay. The revival of the
Tehuantepec ship-ralway project under
these circumstances may be ascrbed to
transportation interests that are best
promoted by defeating all projects for
water communication between the Atlantic

CAN THE wills SON TARIFF BILL
PASS?

Senator Sherman seems inclined to think
that the Wilson tariff bill will pass both
houses, ana go to the President for his
signature some time In April. Sherman
assured correspondent that the bill will
be fought in the Senate, but does not seem
sanguine that il can be defeated. There
is no man in the country in better posi-
-tion to estimate the chances of defeating
the bill than Senator Sherman. He main
tains such personal relations with the
Democratic Senators. upon whose votes
the result depends. that be is quite as
likely as any other Senator TO know if
there Is any chance of a combination to
defeat the bill
LII the Dem ocrats had framed a bill in
accord with their platform the administra-
tlon could exact support a condition of
continued good party standing. After
winning an election on the tariff for reve-
nue. issue no Democrat could effectually
plead that his duty to his constituents re-
quired him TO vote against a tariff for
revenue bill. But as the bill prepared by
the Ways and Means Committee is not
constructed on the tariff ff-for-revenue-only
principle there seems to be ground upon
which Democrats may refuse to vote for
1t. The administration has no right to
change its base on an old issue after cleo
tion. But the question comes up as to the
effect of the defeat of the bill upon the
party. Would it have any standing in the
next Pre- esidential election if it should fail
TO give what it calls tariff reform, with
the executive and legislative departments
under its control?

TOO MUCH FAITH.

Our free-lrade contemporary expresses
the opinion that if it were positively
known that the Wilson bill would pass in
precisely the present form a revival in
business would begin at once. The faith
our contemporary manifests is iDcompre-
heDsible. 1t has battled in the last year
for tariff for revenue. 1t has indorsed a
platform which declares protective tariff
unconstitutional 1t has been as con-
sistent in its demand for a purely tariff
for revenue as it could be while ADVOCATING o
the retention of protective duties Oh many
of the products of its own State. The
Wilson tariff is not revenue tariff 1t Is
true that revenues will be collected under
1t, but that is true of all possible tariffs.
Yet the Examiner accepts the monde script
tariff which the Ways and Means Commit
tee have framed with as much glee as it
could have shown were it such tariff as il
had been battling for.
The characteristic feature of the Wilson
bill is the sacrifice of the revenue OBJ
tanned from imports OF raw material. OF
these the most important is wool Under
tariff which gives wool the rate of pro-
lection afforded other industries the grow
ing of wool had become one year with
another fairly profta Bile. Something like
seven-tenths Of the wool consumed in our
manufactures has been of native product.
This industry is left to its fate. The
minority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee estimate that the shrinkage in the
value of sheep and wool in the past year
is over S50.000.000. With numerous similar
illustrations at hand there appears to be
no other foundation for The opinion of our

THE FOOTPAD SENSATION.

Some days since the Chronicle entered
vigorously upon the work of showing that
San Francisco is the worse policed city in
the United States. 1t represented the
social evil as overfowing its reserved
haunts and taking possession of our prin-
cipal streets. The Police Department was
represented as con spicuous for its ina bilty.
Iaw-breakers paid little attention to these
guardians of the peace. Footpads were
invited to commence operations at once
under an assurance that the police would
not modest them. To give a seeming basis
to this misrepresentation some sensational
incidents were recorded. Footpads were
declared to be driving about the city in
business vehicles, the better to deceive and
waylay their intended victims.
little examination shows these Incl
dents TO have been largely imaginative.
At least several cases have been traced
and found baseless. The credulty of our
sensation loving contemporary has doubt
less been taken advantage OF by persons
who were not adverse to little notoriety
but when these persons have been brought
face TO face with police officials they have
laughed the matter off. There have with
out doubt been a few cases of "hold-ups." +"
The wonder is that with the city filling up
with the thugs the close of the Worlds
Fair let loose the lawess elemept of our
population should have been so well re-
strained. The comparative safety of our
streets in the night has induced careless
habits. Both men and women appear to
have about the same sense of security on
