THE BOND ISSUE.
The Government, Facing Two Evils.
Chose the Least.
Shepherdstown Register.


The year 1894 will have seen the
issue Of bonds by the present admin
istration to the amount of 500, 000,-
600. 1t was only to be expected
that this would stir up a howl of
virtuous indignation from its avowed
enemies. In addition to this it has
met the censure of many who should
have been counted the friends of the
administration. We believe that
this censure springs from ignorance
of the situation, and that it is with
out warrant.
The Treasury has had to face
very awkward dilemma, and of two
evils it has chosen the least Re
publican extravaganza in expendi
lures and reduction OF revenue re
ceipts had wiped out the balance of
available cash. When demands
against the Government were pre-
sented in due course, there were but
two courses open-to refuse to honor
them until Congress should provide
sufficient means, or borrow money
and pay them at once. The former
course would have proclaimed a vir-
tual bankruptcy, and not only would
its consequences have been serious
and far reaching, but the evils are
too obvious to require enumeration
here.
AS to the second course, it is to be
noted, in the first place, that under
existing law the Secretary of the
Treasury has no authority to issue
bonds for a loan to pay current ex
penses. He has authority to issue
bonds for the purpose of maintaining
the gold reserve" and his only re
course under the circumstances was
to borrow from this reserve. BY this
means alone could funds be at once
obtained to meet pressing demands.
Now our whole paper currency,
amounting to over 100000, 600, is
based upon this reserve The sole
condition upon which paper will cir
culate and preserve its face value, is
that it shall be redeemable in coin
on demand; and experience shows
that as long as people are confident
that there is sufficient coin on hand
to redeem all that are likely to be
presented, they will not ask for re
demption. Plainly, then whatever
is taken from this reserve fer pur-
poses other than redemption, must
be returned at once, in order to keep
our paper issue sound. Revenue re
ceipts are insufficient at present to
meet current expenses, so of course
the reserve can get no aid from them
There was nothing for it, therefore,
save to issue bonds to bring the re-
serve up to its normal amount. The
necessity for the new loan is to be
deplored; but it was a necessity for
which neither the Democratic party
as "A whole, nor the administration is
responsible. An impartial view of
the situation should convince any
but the blindest partisan that the
has met the exigen-
ey in wise and statesmanlike man
ner, and that instead of censure it
has merited stronger confidence in
its ability to manage our public af
fairs and to preserve our national
honor untarnlshed.

In commenting on the bill to ere

York World says: The commits
sion should be expert, non partisan,
practical, open-minded and represen

of all parts of the country. Banking
is business, not politics. Finance is
science, not an artifce to catch
votes. Coinage is not matter to

MR.. WILSON'S VIEWS.
He thinks This Session Ought to be
Quite Active

Hon. W. L. Wilson, chairman of the
house committee on ways and means,
believes the present should be an ae-
tive session of congress. The SEES
sion," said be should not be a rou.
tine one, as the chance of retrieving
Democratic supremacy depends on a
full and and solid record of reform
legislation. To do little or nothing
except pass the appropriation bill
and the lean list of measures said
to have been agreed on by some of
our party leaders would justify the
charge that the Democratic party is
incapable of Affirmative and coherent
policy. A bad party term may mean
hurt for while, and even vicious
legislation, as the career of the Re
publican party abundantly shows,
but an impotent party everybody
dismisses with ridicule and con-

The country and the Democratic
party have right to a vote on the
tariff bills sent to the senate deal.
ing with coal, iron ore, sugar, free
alcohol and barbed wire, and there
are some amendments to the admin
istrative parts of the tariff bill sug-
gested by the treasury department
that call for action. The senate
substitute on sugar especially ought
to pass. Our treaty and trade
relations with Germany demand the
repeal of the discriminating tax
against German sugar, and protec-
tion of our own people against the
trust calls for the repeal of the one.
eighth protection ON refined sugars
,"Opponents of the income tax are
told by friends of the trust that the
repeal OF these two dIfferentials is n
the interest of that tax. On the
contrary, such repeal would some
what increase the import of refined
sugar, add to our revenues and mod
crate the power of the trust over
American consumers. We should
also pass a good banking bill. If
the bill prepared by Mr.. Carlisle,
amended and perfected if need be,
could be gotten through the house
before the holidays, there would be
ample time for its consideration in
the senate, even with their present
rules, and, of course, my suggestions
imply some change in those rules,
for believe if our people do not
adopt some sort of previous ques
ton, so that they may dispose of re
lief measures, the Republicans will
adopt it to pass their measures.
"There is mighty difference be-
tween legislative DEGREES, without de.
liberation, as we had in the last con
gress, and legislation by unanimous
consent, as seems to be the helpless
condition of every large legislative
body without rules, to bring meas
ures to vote. Under the latter
system there can be no party su
premaey, and no response to popular
verdicts. If we can deal with all
these matters wisely, and some 9th
ers of minor Importance, we can re
tire with dignity from the stage,
and challenge our successors to do
as much for the people"

THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, Ii Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long. and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on. the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

WEST VIRGINIA SENATE.
1t May Be Tie and the Republican
Programme Spoiled.

Republican politicians who have
been busy since the election mapping
out legislative programme, which
includes the redistricting of the State
for Congress and the investigation
of number of State institutions for
purely partisan purposes, are some
what alarmed over a statement made
by Senator Lockney, Republican
Populist, of the fifth district. Mr..
Lockney is prosecuting attorney of
his county, as well as Senator, and
must give up one of these offices.
He has said he would resign the Sen.
atorship rather than the attorney
ship, as he would certainly be sue
ceeded by Democrat. The Senate
would thus be tie and the Republi-
can programme rendered imperative
A strong effort will be made by Re
publicsns to have the Senator change
his mind.
The contest for the speakership OF
the House is becoming interesting.
A count shows IA votes each for S.
G. Smith and Edwards, 10 for Judge
Fleming and 5 for Morris and
each for Stapleton and Evans.

LETTER FROM MR.. WILSON.

Is Only Temporary.

A friend in the west has received
the following letter from Hon. VIM
L. Wilson:

Wilson, ito repine over my own re
verses, and as to the general disas.
ter | am confident that the people
will soon learn that the Democratic
party did not deserve any such chas-
tisement at their hands and will
come back to us as passionately as
they seem to have left us.
This country does not belong to
the trusts and monopolies and nc
single battle can give it to them. An
army may be defeated, but our cause
as the old Roman, Allen G. Thur
man, said on his recent birthday, is
the cause Of free institutions, and is,
therefore invincible."

better service than to introduce

use of broad tires for wagons. We
may talk about good roads, but good
roads cannot be maintained as long
as narrow tires are permitted to cut
to pieces the roads after they are
constructed. Broad tires improve
roads while narrow tires cut up and
destroy them. Let us have good
