to pay the SIP SOC, GOO Suppose eacl
county was authorized to issue bonds il
the amounts OF it's assessed valuation
such bonds to be ipdorsed by the State
to bear interest at 3 per cent, and be
payable in fifty years, provision being
made for sinking found of say l II
per cent. This would authorize the
immediate issue of $l2 900, 600 in bonds
Tie annual charges would be 1904 ,000
of which the 15-cent tax would produce
$500, 600. The remaining S144, 00(
should be paid by the State. which
would necessitate an assessment of
cents on the 500. This is right, if for
no other reason than to make Baltimore
contribute its proper share
Mr.. John R. Bond explained in detail
his views as TO tho character of restrio'
tiou which he thought should be placed
on immigration. He did not object to any
foreigner who contributed anything to
the labor, wealth and intelligence of tho
country, but he did object to the low
class of migrants brought to America to
enrich steamship and railroad corpora
tons. This class of migrants was
denationalizing America, and the pre-
sence of nine millions of foreigners in
this country, large proportion of them
of the class indicated were in popula-
ton of sixty five millions a standing
menace to the peace of this country.
Mr. Bond defended with force and bility
his opinion, that over production was the
chief cause of depression in price of
grain, and not tao contraction OF the
currency as claimed By Gel. Noyes. If
silver were coined ilIimtably today, it's
purchasing power would be equally
diminished. and the cost of every com
modify proportionately increased.
Col Noyes defended his position with
spirit aud vIgor, that the contraction of
the currency was the chief cause of the
depression in the price of the farmers
land and products, and that tho farmer
had the same right to claim of the
government the monetary accommoda-
ton that bankers and other classes
claimed aud received
