The Debt Scheme.

Editor Free Pres At the request OF a
Wall stree, broker, Virginia passed reso-
luton appointing Commissioners to settle
West Yirgiuia's debt It has been my con-
slant effort 20 satisfy the certificate holders
that our legislature will not negotiate on the
basis that Yves, Virginia. proportion Is one
third. and, since the commissioners are for
hidden 20 negotiate on any other basis, moth
ing viii result from this resolution.
The substance Of the resolution is as FOL
lows.
WHEREAS, Virginia has funded all
the bonds OF the original State on the as
sumption that one-third is the proper pro-
portion for West Virginia; therefore
Rss0lel. The commissioners, hereby APP
pointed 70 settle West Virginia's debt, shall
not negotiate except on the basis that Nir-
GINA is bound only for twO-thirds assumed
by her.
In other words, negotiations shall not
commence unless West Virginia admits that
Virginia's proportion is only two thirds
On this basis the amount Of our debt would
be measured By the amount of certificates I;
viz; principal 100000, interest 2O,OOO,-
OOO about 100000.
am now greatly surprised that certain
West Virginians, heretofore very aggressive
against any action, are in secret communi-
cation with the Wall street syndicate, and
have suddenly become very Jealous for ne
gotistious with these Virginia commission
ers. Ii is useless to argue with the emissa-
ries Of this Wall street scheme, but if the
real truth be kept before the public, our leg
islature cannot be misled.
l. The ordinance, under which West Vir-
ginia was created. prescribes how the
amount Of her debt shall be ascertained.
The creditors, aud also Virginia must be
taught that nobody can have any claim or
this state except under the ordinance.
Virginia owes the balance of the common
debt excep. what that ordinance fixed on
West Virginia.
?. The smount SO fixed on this state is
greatly .es. than the one. third
g. Virginia has no demand on West Vir-
GINA. This state owes the creditors she
doe. noe owe Virginia If a partner paws
more than bis share of common debt, he
may claim contribution bat Virginia has
declared she win never pay a. much as her
own share Hence she cannot claim contri-
button. I. is evident, she cannot demand
money. West Virginia owes, not 90 her, but
Co the crciitors of the original state.
To is absurd 90 suggest Virginia has a
claim because she issued certificates payable
after We., Virginia settled A man cannot
manufacture a claim on bis ueighbor by
making writings
The certificate, give holders a claim on
Virginia. bli they don't give Virginia any
claim on West Virginia. II claim don't
exist, 10 WON'T exis, no matter what you
write
The question il, not whether we owe a
debt the question now is, whether our leg
islature shall commence a useless debt agi-
tstion with these Virginia commissioners,
who represent, and are paid by Wall street
spectators who have bought up several
millions of the certificate at a triaing price ?
