THE RECENT ISSUE OF GOVERNMENT
BONDS.

We give a considerable space to-day to
an article from that unterrifed free sill
yer and protective tariff champion, Camm
Patteson, Esq, not because we agree for
an instant with him-for, quite to the
contrary, we know he is wrong-but be-
cause many people agree with him, all
like to hear from, and we believe in fair
play and hearing both sides.
Mr.. Patteson insists that there was no
authority to issue gold bonds, and, there
fore, the recent issue was unconstitu-
tional. because, as Mr.. Patteson sup
poses. these bonds were made payable in
gold. The trouble is, Mr.. Patteson's pre-
misses are all wrong. The act of July u.
1870, provided in the following words for
the issue of these five per cent. bonds:
"That the Secretary OF the Treasury
Is hereby authorized 10 issue, In a sum
or sums not exceeding in the aggregate
two hundred million dollars, coupon or
registered bonds of the United States, in
such form as he may prescribe. and OF
denominations of fifty dollars. or some
multiple Of that sum. redeemable IN
COIN of the present standard value, AT
ten wears from the date OF their issue,
and bearing interest, payable semi-annual-
" in such coin, at the rate Of five per
cent. per annum."
These bonds, then, are payable in coin
of the present standard value, and that
they will be paid in gold is only due TO
the promise of the United States Gov
eminent. and as far as we know and be-
ljeve, with the assent and appreciation of
both Democrats and Republicans, that
taa parity OF value between gold and sill
yer dollars shall be maintained, and that
this can only be done by paying gold
when gold is asked for and silver when
silver is asked for.
The resumption act Of January IA, 1910,
authorized the issue Of these five per
cent. bonds to provide the Treasury~with
CON to pay the United States notes on
demand, as follows:
"And on and after the first day Of
January, Ammo Domini eighteen hundred
| and seVenty-nine, the Secretary Of the
| Treasury shall redeem in coin, the United
States legal-tender notes then outstand-
Ing, on their presentation for redemption
at the office Of the Assistant Treasurer
of the United States, in the city of New
York, in sums of not less than fifty dol
lars And to enable the Secretary of the
Treasury to prepare and provide for the
redemption in this act authorized or re-
uuired. he is authorized to use any sur
plus revenues. from time to time, in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated
and 10 issue, sell and dispose of, at not
| less than par in coin, either of the de-
ccription Of bonds of the United States
| described in the act of Congress approved
July fourteenth, eighteen hundred and
seventy entitled An act to authorize the
refunding of the national debt
And this is the whole case, Mr.. Pat
| teson to the contrary Notwithstanding.

PASS THE NICARAGUA BILL.

We hope there will be patriotism
enough in both branches of Congress 10
make them rise above all party appeals
and promptly pass bill for constructing
the Nicaragua canal. The argument that
is made against the Government taxing
part in the construction OF this great
work is that ii is a matter that belongs
TO private enterprise and that 1t would be
the act of paternal Government TOT the
United States to take part in its creation
No one could be more intensely opposed
TO the whole theory and idea OF paternai-
ism than The Times, but The Times, at
the same time, recognizes that there are
certain matters of public concern that
Government must have the control OF. Inc
waters of the Mississippi river are IN
valuable to millions and millions of people
NJ the United States. Yet those waters
cannot he used by this immense body
of the people TO their best advantage I'M

too vast for the returns that would come

vate enterprise could successfully under

ainni ought not to be burdened with the
charges that 1t would have 10 pear 10

the dredging with their own means. The
Mississippi is a natural highway furnish
ed to all the people by the Almighty
and they have right to demand that
the Government shall exclude all private
ownership in II, and keep their natural
highway In repair from the common
purse.
The proposed canal across the Mica
raguan isthmus is a work of the same
order as dredging the mouths OF the
| Mississippi 1t is a work in which all the
| people OF the United States have an In
| terest. as they have in the Mississippi.
| 1t Is true that there Is no natural high
way across this isthmus. yet the waters

so nearly together there, when supple
mented by the lakes and rivers that lie
| between, that the case differs In degree
only. but not In kind. from that Of the
sand banks separating the waters Of
the Mississippi from those of the Gulf
| OF Mexico.
Private enterprise can only raise the
money necessary to construct this canal

Of the United States have q right 10 II.

national existence that the government

to national interests that this canal
should be constructed, and 1t is just as
important that It should not be under
private control. 1t must be in such shape
and condition as that the Government
can exercise a dominating influence In
It's control whenever occasion for it shall

The true theory Is that the Government
shall endorse the bonds of the company,
