cording 10 the estimate of the diyeetex
of the mint. they would find no great
difficulty in repairing the loss After
the reserve had been restored the
treasury would pay out as much gold
in its ordinary disbursements as II re-
ceived, and the banks would be thereby
enabled TO meet the wants of their Ina
porting customers with the same ease
as they did up to three years ago. when
nearly all the duties were paid in gold.
With the treasury thus fortified the
disposition OF the banks to hoard gold
would cease TO exist and they could
have no more motive for cbjeeNng 10
supply gold to those whose business
needed it than they would have 10 pay
in any other form of currency.
The president Is doubtless correct In
saying that simple increase of reve-
nue. will not cure the troubles, but
there can be no question that IL would
very greatly help to do so. With tho
expenditures of the government run
ming constantly in excess of the re-
ceipts and the deficit increasing every
month, to be provided for by borrow
ing 1t is impossible to maintain conf
dence in the ability of the government
to meet its obligations, and the presi-
dent is mistaken in assuming that "the
apprehension now existing and. con-
stantly increasing as to our financial
ability does not rest upon calculation
of our revenues" and that 'the time
has passed when the eyes of investors
abroad and our people at home were
fixed upon the revenues of this govern
ment." 1t may be admitted that this
is not the sole cause of apprehension,
but the fact that the government is
steadily getting worse off financially
and the condition is such as promises
a further increase of the public debt
certainly exerts an influence in Great
ing distrust There cannot be a reason
able doubt that If congress adopted
measures for bringing the revenues up
to the expenditures there would be
realized an immediate good effect upon
More revenue and the pay
ment of import duties in gold would
give the treasury the needed relief,
though it would seem hardly possible
now to avoid another issue of bonds to
restore the gold reserve, which has de-
clined to a lower point than at any
other time since resumption in 1879

COIN is GOLD.
That Is What the Law Means When II
Stipulates Payment in Gold.

|
Stipulates Payment in Gold.
A New York financial newspaper
publishes letter from prominent
business man containing statements in
substance as follows:
1. The resumption act requires the
secretary of the treasury to redeem sin
gold" all greenbacks presented for re-
demption.
g. If the gold Is not in the treasury
the act requires the secretary to sell
bonds to get the gold. 1.-THE only dis
erection allowed him is to decide wheth-
err it shall be per cent. or per cent.
bonds he will sell. But sell one or the
other he must, and he could be man
damused if he refused to do his duty.
The one restriction is that the bonds
must be sold at not less than par"
This is true in substance, but not in
form. The secretary can sell not only
4 or per cent. bonds, but ~ per cents,
II he chooses. But that is not a ma
terial point. The essential thing is
the requirement to redeem in gold.
The word used in the law is ''coin,"
not gold" But, although the law
does not specify gold coin, it none the
less certainly means gold coin. At the
time the law was enacted gold coin
was the only coin of unlimited legal
tender capacity. The coinage of silver
dollars was discontinued in 1873, and
the only authorized silver coins in 1878,
when the resumption act was passed,
were fractionals, which were then legal
tender to the amount of IS only in any
one payment 1t necessarily follows
that the secretary of the treasury is
required to redeem greenbacks In gold
coin.
Congress placed this construction
upon the law when it passed the bank
charters act in 1882. Although that act
was passed four years after the pas
sage of the Bland-Allison silver dollar
law, it contained provision that
whenever the gold" held in the treas
ury for the redemption of greenbacks
should fall below 500, 900, 600 the Sec
rotary of the treasury should suspend
the issue of gold certificates BY law,
therefore,, as we'll as by invariable
practice ever since resumption, the
government is pledged to the redemp-
ton of greenbacks in gold.
The resumption act also provides
that the bonds sold for the purposes Of
the act shall be sold at not less than
par in "coin" "Coin" means gold
here as elsewhere in the act, and for
the same reason. The secretary of the
treasury cannot sell the bonds Ut less
than par in gold coin. But he cannot
sell them at par in gold if there is a Sc
rious doubt about their being payable
in gold. Therefore he has right to
promise payment in gold. 1t may be-
come his duty to do SO, for otherwise
he may not be able to sell the bonds
as the law requires. Chicago Herald.

The wiping out by the Supreme
Court of the fourth section of the Werts
liquor law, known as the Baker amend
ment, by which several townships in
Cumberland and Ocean counties voted
the license fees so high as to be prohibi-
tory, removes the last vestige of law
whereby the temperance people can
Danish the sale of Intoxicating liquors
from their local territory. This should
make it obligatory on the next legisla-
ture to enact a law in favor of temper
ance, because the act declared uncon.
stitutional was enacted by the Demo-
Gratis and the Republicans cannot afford
to enact a temperance law of less in
tended effect, even though Mr.. Griggs
made a more open bid for the liquor
vote than any candidate even made in
this State, and got more than his share
of that vote. He also said the people
were satisfied with the liquor laws as
they were. The Court did not declare
the clause unconstitution until the day
after election. If his assertion was
true then the people are not satisfied
now with this sole temperance clause
eliminated. Therefore, he should be in
favor of a restoration of some kind of a
local option law. lie was the leader in
the Senate when the local option law of
1888 was passed, but last Summer he
said he never favored it. Can the leg.
islature afford not to pass some temper
ance legislation this winter?

Below we print a synopsis of the Fish
and Game Commissioners report. They
show there has been much more activ-
ity in the Commission and more hust-
ling on the part of The Wardens. The
most notable thing is the large increase
in expenses, from about $4,000 in past
years to $35 900 this year, and even in
these days of boasted pleas for economy.
The question may he asked whether the
good accomplished in Isl arrests and
the smashing of a few rabbit traps is
worth $4,000 extra to the State. Every
man who knows anything about fishing
can testify that the new way of guard
ing against Sunday fishing instituted
this year by the Commissioners by
steaming up and down the River in Il
tug is not the best way to see that the
law is obeyed in the sliad fishing sea.
sob. The greater expenditure of mon
ey then aud a watchful care of the war
dens for a week before and after the
cunning seasons begin Is all that is
required, in the opinions of many. The
tramping over the State every day in
the year and the expense of sending the
Wardens from one end of the State to
the other is a needless expenditure of
money,

J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Ag.
riculture, is making an excellent record
of economy in his department. In his
annual report he says: 5,102, 523.06
were appropriated to the United States
Department OF Agriculture during the
two fiscal years 1894 and 1895; ard out
of that sum 81, 12G, 26S.74 have been
saved to cover back into the Treasury.
Then add to that saved sum S1S5,497.-
GA returned to the Treasury out of the
1893 appropriation, and we find that,
with all unimpaired and extended and
disciplined service in this department,
the aggregate sun of S1,3l1 1868 is
available for return to the Treasury
since March 4, 1888"

The farmers of Gloucester county
and the citizens of Vineland are still
kicking about the new school law. All
kicking that does not show itself at the
ballot box is not worthy of notice by
politicians and legislators. Instead of
wasting their breath they should bag
their heads and go behind their barns
and kick themselves for being such
fools as to give the legislators who ell
acted the law bigger majorities each
succeeding time they run after enacting
the law.
