ALABAMA,s BONDED INDEBTEDNESS
GOV. Oates Tried to Refund at Lower
Rate of Interest.

Rate of Interest.
New York, March I6.--Gov. W.
c. Oates, of Alabama, is at the
Hoffman House in this city.
Il am here on business for my
State" he said last night -
want to refund the bonded indebt-
edness of the State alta lower rate
of interest. We have outstanding
about s., 500, 900 in bonds which
will bear 5 per cent after January
I, next. These are ten year bonds,
and as an inducement to have
them taken at lower rate we are
willing to make forty or tltty year
bonds, payable in gold. The cred
it of our state is so good that the
bondholders do not desire to part
with their bonds. The chief diff
Guilty find in the way OF an ex-
change is that the outstanding
bonds are SO high in the market
and demand such premium, it is
not easy to effect an exchange.
1.-THE extreme silver men in our
section continued Mr.. Oates,
speaking Of President Cleveland's
second bond issue, "criticise the
president for issuing bonds for
gold, but the we'll informed, who
understand the necessities of the
case, do not blame him. They
rather blame the congress for not
changing the law. | do not think
the South will split on the money
although great ditferen-
ces exist both in the South and
West, resulting largely from the
failure to understand he financial
question. While the people of
the South favor silver, they are
not in favor of a single silver
standard. The fact should not be
ost sight of by those who consid-
er the financial situation in our
section"

\ correspondent, whose commu-
nication appears elsewhere, wants
10 know the meaning of the ex-
presSionS ''honest dollar, sound
dollar" and the like.
Such questions are entirely use
less at the present time, since every
dollar which is issued by the Uni
ted States is of equal value under
the law, and is, therefore, equally
honest and sound. There being
no difference between the purchas-
ing power of any OF these dollars,
there can be no discrimination be-
tween them. An honest dollar
necessarily is one that always is
worth one hundred cents, and
whose purchasing power is always
not less than one hundred cents.
This is both honest and sound. 1t
declares itself to be of certain val
ne, and, on being tested in all the
markets of the country, it is found
to be just what the stamps on it
proclaim it to be. That is the
highest standard of honesty and
soundneSs in money, and nothing
more can lie asked. Up to the
present time, all the dollars Issued
by the United States conform to
that standard CT value, and they
are therefore all honest and sound.
Obviously, there can be no dis
cussion of these dollars as matters
now stand, and the questions asked
by the correspondent must refer to
some state of affairs which does
not now exist, but might by some
possibility come into existence at
some future time. All that it
would be possible to say as to any
future contingency in which it
might occur, that the government
were issuing several sorts of dollars
OF different values-that is to say
some being worth one hundred |
cents, as proclaimed by the stamp;
while others, bearing a similar
stamp, out being worth less than
one hundred conts-can be said in
a few wo, d. Those men who live
on their daily earnings would nee
@SsarlIy want to be paid IN the
oest dollars possible, that is. in
those which were worth the most
money Those, however, who
were able to live but had old debts.
snch as mortgages, to pay off,
would find large profits in buying
up as cheaply as possible the de-
preclaier dollars and in paving
them out in discharge of their old
lebts. J
Daring the time, after the civil
war when the government had is
sued both paper and gold dollars,
and had made them legal tender.

James Faulkner, a Hawaiian refugee,

the steamer Puritan, and admits having
taken part in the uprising. He says 1t was
the intention of the real leaders Of the
insurrection to overthrow the government
and not reinstate the queen, but to put In
a new leader of the republic. About the
time the government was prematurely in
formed Of the plot the queen and her sup
porters were apprised Of the duplicity, and
that was the true reason she so promptly
abdicated.

The very effective manner in which the
nublic roads have recently been cleared of
the heavy snow drifts by the voluntary
action of farmers has opened the eyes OF
many to the possibility of what might be
accomplished by concerted action In an
other direction. In this instance the tax
PAYERS of the county have doubtless been
saved a large amount Of money. and the
question arises whether like result could
not be accomplished by. similar effort In
hauling stone upon the public roads.
Stone is plentiful in all parts Of the county:
in fact, much too plentiful on a majority
of farms and II each farmer would but
devote three or four days during the year
to hauling 1t upon the public highways
the roads would in q short time be per-
manently improved. With the stone de-
livered free upon the roads there would
then be but little excuse for the county
authorities to decline to macadamize the
same. and in a few years the county could
boast Of having rs good roads as any In
the state. The increased value OF farms
would repay a hundred fold the small out
lay in furnishing the stone.
