TIME EOR ACTON.

Mr.. Sutro has Issued vigorous address
10 the people of California on the danger
involved in the Central Pacific funding
proposition. He says that the people are
asleep, while their enemy, Mr.. c. P. Hunt
ington, is wide awake. There is q good
deal in what MI Sutro says. The people
Of California do not seem to realize the
effect of the refunding Of the Central Pa
cific debt. Perhaps they do not quite un-
derstand how the refnnding OF the debt
will injure this coast more than other
parts Of the country. They argue that if
the fifty years are given the company in
which to ray the debt even so large a sum
as ST.. COO, 900, if the people have 10 pay it,
will not be seriously felt If distributed over
the whole country and through so long q
period of time. But if the debt is refunded
California will have to pay the bulk of it.
1t will be taken from our industries in the
form of excessive freight charges. 1t will
nearly all be taken from this State be-
cause in other States the Southern Pacific is
limited in its rates by competition. In this
State there is no competition. Freight
rates will be made high enough to cover
interest on bonds. sinking fund, dividends
on stock and operating expenses. No
wonder Mr.. SutrO thinks that the time for
action has arrived

AS GOOD AS GOLD.

An Oregon paper says: "All the money
in the United States at this moment is as
good as gold" If this statement is true.
what difference does it make whether gold
or silver is in the treasury? II one kind
of money is as good as any other kind,
why this inceSsant struggle to get or keep
a particular kind? Why consider meas
ures to replenish the treasury with gold if
all other kinds of money are as good as
gold? a half-column OF the kind IF mis-
information which is contained in the
above extract from the Oreg on paper winds
up as follows:
