What the People are Saying.

BY JAS. p. NEwCoMB.l
Alderman Albert Beckman's
proposition to issue the sewer
bonds so as to enable our own cit
liens to take them is splendid
one, and worthy of trial.
The French people paid their
great war indemnity to Germany
by taking their own securities and
m ade France solid in a financial
sense. If San Antonio should take
her own bonds it would make it the
solid city of Texas.
Alderman Beckmann's remarks
upon his measure should be read
by every citizen. We have no
savings banks, and there is over
the amount Of 100000 stored away
in the private banks of the peoples
homes.
This bond issue will furnish a
savings bank to our working peo-
ple-the people who furnish the
capital to the banks.
These bonds will be always
worth a premium and always be
negotiable. In fact they will be
money in the hands of the holder
earning interest.
Our bond holders will have earn
ed one million in interest in 40
years, besides the principal.
The only argument against this
proposition is that if the bonds are
sold abroad it will bring to our city
100000 in money now. II there is
100000 lying idle here it will do
just as much good to set it in cir
culation as to get 100000 from
outside.
Our people must learn to save
to use their money at home and to
build up our home credit by in
vesting in our own bonds.
Some very careful business men
oppose the Beckmann plan as i'm.
practicable at this time, because
our people have little money to put
into 5 per cent bonds. 1t is con-
tended that the greatest benefit
will come from securing money
from abroad, and those of our
people who have money to invest,
will be encouraged to put their
money into property, or business,
thus stimulating business.

ABOVE HIS PARTY.

President Cleveland has crossed the
Rubicon, and the Democratic party
must acknowledge the dictator or be
divided into factions. The Bland bill
has awaited HE signature or veto for
several days, and yesterday he exer-
cised his prerogetive as chief executive
of the nation, and returned the meas
ure with his message disapproving its
provisions. For many years the views
of Mr.. Clevelane has been we'll known
on monetary matters, and it would
have been great surprise to the coun-
try if he had given the least counte-
nance to any method of imitation of
the currency. 1t may be true
that, during the last campaign from
Maine to California, Democratic ora
tors promised the people, with
the return of that party to power. free
coinage would be inaugurated, and
this may have been in accordance
with the Chicago platform; but those
who sa. in that convention and framed
the declaration of principles knew
very well that Mr.. Cleveland. if
elected, would not sanction unlimited
coinage, and were not honest when
they made their promises to the public
after he was placed at the head of the
ticket. The leaders may have be-
lieved that the party could mold the
executive to its views, as it has done
on former occasions; but IN this they
were mistaken, and they must either
endorse his views on the silver ques-
tion and create him dictator, or ac-
knowledgs division in their ranks
The reasons assigned by the presi-
dent for his veto message are those of
sound finances, and which have gov
erned the Repu blican party during the
long time that it held control of the
administration of affairs. 1t was ex-
pected that the message wsuld be
apologetic In certain measure, for in

THE SECOND SECTION,

Doubts also arise as to the meapinp
and construction OF the second section o
the bill. If the silver dollars therein III
Iected to I've coineG are, as the section
provides, to be held in the treasury fol
the redemption of the treasury notes, i,
is suggested that, strictly speaking, GER
ti6cates cannot be issued on such coin II
the manner now provided by law, because
these dollars are money held in the treas
ury for the express purpose of redeeming
treasury notes on demand, which would
ordinarily mean that they are set apart
for the purpose Of substituting them for
these treasury notes. They are not, there
fore, beld in such way as to fur
nish q basis for the certificates accord :
ing to any provision of existing law If.
hoSever. silver certificates can properly
be issued upon these dollars, there is
nOthing in the section to indicate the
characteristics and functions of these
certificates. If they were to be of the
same character as the silver certificates in
circulation under existing laws, they
would at best be receivable only for GUS
toms, taxes and all public dues. and un
der the language "f this section 1t il, to
say the least, extremely doubtful whether
the certificates it contemplated would be
lawfully recsived, even for such pur-
poses.
Whatever else may be SAID OF the un-
certainties of expression in this bill, they
certainly ought not to be found in legis~
latien affecting subject so imporisnt
and far reaching as our finances and cur
reucv.

sounder rule of finance for any nation
to follow than that the store of gold
should not be diminished and the vol
ume of silver increased if parity be-
tween the two metals as circulating
medium is desired. Mr.. Cleveland
clearly points out this evil in the
selgnorage bill, and in this view he
will be upheld by the sonndest hnan-
clers.
1t has never been doubted that tie
country had a friend of honest money
in the person CT President Cleveland
and in this regard he is elevated fal
above his party. From 1865 to 1897
Democracy has meant all things OIL

affairs. On this question he has not
been tested; but in his letter of accept
ance he declared himself in favor OF
protection to American labor, which is
a stepping stone to the economic pol

not be contrary to the development
theory if Grover Cleveland did grow
into Republican in the future. Be

MKINLEY DEMOCRATS.

| In discussing the probable passas
of the Wilson bill the st. Louis Re-
public says: "When it comes te
amending the bill these Mckinley
Democrats can be relied upon to vote
with the Republicans. The senate
Democrats who are under suspicion Of
working to undermine the bill, or to
kill it if they get chance. are Cor
man, Hill. Murphy, Brice and Smith.
Back of these are satellites that can
be relied on to vote as their bosses sug-
gest or command. Among the satel-
lites are Camden and Faulkner of
West Virginia end Gibson of MARY
land, supposed to be subject to Cor
man. The Louisiana senators are in
terested in only one schedule of the
bill, and that is sugar, but they will
barter away the whole bill, Democratic
principles, platform declarations and
everything else in order to save tax
on sugar" The Republic is original
in coming the expression mckinley
Democrats" and while there may not
be enough of them to defeat the Viii
son bill in the senate, there are thou
sands of them scattered all over the
country. They are very plentiful in
Eastern Oregon, and are adding to
their. .nu mbers daily. In Wasco county,
there are few engaged in any indus
try who do not favor the doctrines of
Gov. Mckinley on the tariff rather than |
of Mr.. Wilson on free trade. There
will be enough of these mckinley |
Democrats" at the polls next June to |
place Oregon IN no uncertain light on |
the question of protection, and give |
her a standing in the front rank of
Republican states. Since the partial |
test of free trade has been made il has
less friends than ever before, and if |
the same conditions continue to exist
until 1896 very desirable change will |
take place in the administrator of ma
tIonal affairs.
