OF the open, free and just principles

COLD Obligations.

One of the arguments now floating
about the country as a clincher upon
the advocates of free coinage is that a
very large proportion of all bonds and
other instruments of indie btedness is
payable specifically in gold We are
asked what good it would do to restore
beme tallism since those de BITS must be
met in one metal only. Those who adj
vance this statement do not seem to
realize that the trou BILE lies in the ap-
probation of gold. If silver were re-
stored to an equality with gold as
primary money the appreciated quota
ton of the yellow metal, due to it's be-
ing the sole money of final redemp-
ton would fall. Gold would come
down. Sixteen ounces of silver would
buy an ounce of gold. In relation to
all manner of commodities gold would
fall likewise and bushel of wheat
would exchange for as nearly as much
gold as it will now procure. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the redemption OF
bonds payable in gold could practically
be made in gold or silver. An auto
matte law would quickly adjust the re-
lations of gold with other products of
human labor and strip the metal of the
valuation given TO it by the selfish leg
islation in the interest of the gold
owners. Denver News.

single Whito Metal standard Per
fectIy Satisfactory.
Senior Lacayo, of Nicaragua, who
was lately in New York, reported
under the single silver standard.
Lacayo is wealthy banker, and is
good authority in financial matters.
He says that the circulating medium
of Nicaragua is silver and government
notes, and both circulate at par. The
government coins no gold and there is
none in the country except what is re-
ceived from the United States, En-
gland and France.
Nicaragua, like Mexico, has found
the single silver standard in every
way satisfactory. Uruguay, too, it
will be recolected, gets along prosper
ously without any gold, and her gov
ernment paper currency is so sound
that American travellers in that coun-
try have to submit to discount of per
cent. when they exchange America n
gold for Uruguayan paper
When bankers and business men
from Mexico, Nicaragua and Uruguay
visit New York and talk to our gold
bugs the latter find it difficult to hold
up their end of the argument. They
are mere theorists, while the Spanish
Americans are able to point to the
practical workings of their financial
system, and they never fail to make
the point that they are prosperous
under it and are not the victims of the
shrinkage of values which has fol-
lowed the establishment of the single
gold standard in this country.
In our campaign of education on the
currency question the Spanish Ameri-
cans are rendering valuable aid.-At-

We were asked, "Why did you say
last week that the law creating a state
engineer for the inspection of pro-
posed dams in this state was useless2
Isn't the safety of human life some
thingY We replied that it was USE
less for the reason that when men
built great dam for any purpose it
meant an immense investment that
theydid not mean 10 be thrown away.
Perhaps the projectors of such works
have as great regard for human life
as the state and they may not, but
whether or not, they have some selfish
regard for themselves and when a
man puts $50, 900 into a dam he is
going to have far more anxiety
against any possibility of its being
swept into oblivion in moment than
any salaried officer of the state will
have. He is going to employ engin-
GERS as competent as any the state
can employ. He is going to have
them report. He is going to have
them build it good, strong and sub
stantial When he sticks his money
into an embankment to hold water he
wants to know that it is safely in
vested and that his work is going to
stand for good

Attention Is called to the commu-
nication of Judge Maryatt on the
subject Of county warrants. He re-
cites difference of opinion which
exists among officials as to when the
new redemption law went into effect.
but either one would make October
warrants almost at par, which was
the purpose alone OF last weeks arti-
Gle to show. If the opinion express
ed that the law went into force
prior to the tax levy is good, the
October warrants come in to be paid
out OF SO current expense money.
If Mr.. Maryatt is correct in his inter
probation, it makes the case stronger
in their favor, as they will be the first
paid and there would be money in
the treasury now to pay them.

cities, school districts, etc. from run
ming into debt during any fiscal year
beyond the amount Of its actual re-
ceipts for the year, without voting
bonds to meet such indebtedness.
But the expression, ''income and
revenue provided for it for such year, I"
has been interpreted to mean, not the
money that actually comes in Gn-
Gomez and revenue collected during
the year, but to have the same mean
ing as ''the amount of the tax levy
made in September of that year. :"
But neither of the words 'income"
or ''revenue" is synonymous with the
word '1evy." A levy is not a rev.
enue, but a means of providing future
revenue. 1t is only one of the sources
of revenue. / think those who will
take the trouble to look up the word
in the large dictionaries, especially In
the new Standard Dictionary, will be
satisfied that ''income" and ''revenue"
both mean that which comes in, or is
actually received. If this is the case
the expression ''income and revenue
provided for such year" must
mean that which comes into the
treasury and is available during the
year. The revenue of 1895 includes
the part of the 1895 tax that is paid
during the year, all the taxes of pre-
vious years that are paid this year, all
fines, forfeitures, poll taxes, etc
while part Of the taxes levied this
year will not become revenue until
1896, a part of them 1897 and the
following years, and some of them
never will become re%enue, because it
will be impossible to collect them.
l would like to call the attention
of any who may think l am wrong in
the Interpretation of this section of
the constitution to the fact that the
article containing it is entitled "Pub-
lie Indebtedness and Subsidies, and
that it consists entirely of prohibitions
on the subject of Indebtedness. 1t
has nothing to do with the raising of
revenue or providing a system of
finance. 1t forbids certain kinds of
Indebtedness, but it does not there
fore make lawful everything that is
not forbidden, nor does it attempt to
direct how that which is lawful
should be done
Again, the expenses incurred in
any fiscal year could not be paid for
son cash basis if they had to be
paid out of the taxes that were not
levied until September, and only a
portion of them collected during the
year.
But whatever Interpretation is
given to this latter provision of the
constitution, the fact still remains
that Art VII of the constitution ex-
pressly provides that after the levy
of special tax for redemption
fund, 'all warrants issued before
such levy shall be paid exclusively
ont of said fund -
