MONEY OF THE CONSTITUTION

The epigrammatic DR.. johnson once
said that patriotism is the last refuge
of scoundrels,' by which he meant that
when demagogues in politics had ex-
hausted their subterfuges and sophis-
tries in their attempt to deceive the peo-
pie they resorted to appeals in the name
of patriotism. AS in the name of lib
erty, untold crimes have been perpe-
trated Oh the credulouS public in the
name of patriotism.
And so with the federal constitution.
This instrument has been twisted, dis
torted. contracted or expanded to suit
the varying and different needs or ideas
of bigoted or unintelligent partisans. or
to satisfy the demands of greedy pri-
vate interests until it is not at all
strange that large part of the people
view it with discomfort or distrust. The
latest important attempt to misconstrue
the constitution is by the people who
seem to think that the chief mission of
this government is to restore silver to
the price it enjoyed prior to 1873, regard
less of the consequences to those not
engaged in the production of the white
metal. OF this effort to make of the

eral to contract with the Pacific
| (Scrymser) Gable Company of New
York for the construction of a cable

subsidy of not exceeding 100000 a
year for twenty years.
The merits of the Pacific cable bin
and what is known as the Spalding
bill have been so frequently discussed
in the committee that the considera>
ton of the subject this morning was
comparatively limited. Those who ia
vored the Pacific bill did so upon the
understanding that it is an American
company; that its terms are lower
than those asked by any of it's rivals,
and that moreover, it purposes ex-
tending it's lines to the Orient at once.
