THE BOND DEAL AND RAILROAD
I4EASE-A COMPARISON.
Wilmington New Era.

Why should the people of North Caro-
lima give the Southern Railway corpor-
alton controlled by English goldbugs-
the North Carolina Railroad? A lease
of 80 years, everybody knows, is equiya-
lent to ownership. Governor Carr and
his directors must have gotten this idea
of favoring the rich corporations so much
at the expense of the poor producers flor
really, they pay the taxes after alp, from
Grover, the GREAT AM. He, in few
hours, clcseted with j. pierpont Morgan
e Co., decided, and did give away be-
tween S12,000,O00 and S15,000,000 of
the payers money to these
heartless money changers. The
people believe that they were
robbed and that that vast sum
of money was unlawfully taken from
them; they think it outra geous-and well
may they think so. Yet the leasing of the
North Carolina Railroad, by Governor
Carr and directors means a loss to the
people Of North Carolina of less than
has been offered by other railroad cor
porations (the Seaboard Air Iine),
amounting to S120000 a year to the tax
payers.
Multiply this by 90, and you will see
that it make S11 $4,000 for the principal
alone. Add the interest to this and it will
be a greater amount lost to the people
Of North Carolina than the Cleveland and
Morgan bond swindle was.
And yet the people all over the United
States think the bond deal was fearful.
Have not the people of North Carolina
right to think that such blunder as giving
away so valuable a property to an un-
grateful corporal tion is a crime worse
than fraud? Certainly.
And as such is the case, it behooves
every honest legislator who has the inter
est Of his people at heart, to vote for an
nulment of the lease, and to give power
only to the Legislature to sell, but to lease
not longer than twenty years. Gentle
men. do not let those paid attorneys mis-
lead you. Remember they are getting
pay, and lots of it; they will make You be-
lieve it will be best to let the gift remain
unmolested, but you can tell Satan, the
tempter. to get behind you. The eyes OF
every honest man are upon you, you and
your vote will prove whether you are for
| the people or for the corporation.

POPE LEo's BIRTHDAY.

Today will be a great day for Catho.
lies throughout the world, it being the
S7th anniversary of POPE Leo Kills
birth. It lacks but few weeks of
being 10 years since he was made the
head of the greatest church the world
has ever seen. He is one of the Oldest
popes that ever sat in the chair of
st. Peter, and among the best. His
pontificate has been marked by some
very great events in the industrial
world, and his encyclicals upon various
phases of the labor problem, as it has
presented itself from time TO time,
have been wonderfully able papers.
The interest he has evinced in all
questions relating to the moral and
material elevation of the working
classes is such as would be expected
of one occupying his exalted station.
Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci was born
in 1910, at Carpineto, in the diocese of
Anagu;, in one of the church states.
His mother was Anne Prosperi. She
was a descendant of Cola di Rienzi,
the last of the Roman tribunes." He
received the priesthood on Dec. %, 1887.
He rose to be bishop of Perugia, where
he remained for two and thirty years.
and then became cardinal. In 1877 he
was nominated by Pope Plus to the
Office of Cardinal Carmerlingo, of the
Roman church. and it was in this ca
pacity that. on the death of Pope Plus,
he was called upon to act as head of
the church for temporal and momen-
tary purposes. and he superintendent
the arrangements for the conclave
which ended in his elevation to the
papal throne, in April 1873.
His health is fairly good for one so
advanced in years. and upon whom
devolve so many cares and duties Of
world-wide extent. He is nearing the
grave. and when its portals close over
him his name Will be remembered IS
that of man who was chiefly am
bilious 70 DO good and to elevate his
fenowman His pontifcate began and
will doubtless end in captivity in
the vatican.

GOLD RAIDS ON THE TREASURY.

Senator Sherman says that with
ample revenue it win be impossible to
repeat the gold raids upon the treas
ury of the past three years" Senator
| Sherman is a great authority upon all
matters pertaining to the treasury, and
one hesitates 10 refuse to accept as
conclusive anything he may say on
the money question. Yet this hesita-
ton is not so great as it might other
/ wise be were t not a well-known fact
that the senator has not always to
himself been true on this same money
question.
1t is possible to raid the treasury
just so long as there are any legal
tender notes in existence that the gov
eminent must redeem in gold if they
are presented. When the revenue of
the government is adequate to meet all
its expenses it must pay out the money
it receives for customs dues and in
ternai taxes. This money will be such
as circulates among the people. If
they pay gold, gold will be paid out;
if they pay gold and paper they will
be paid out. If the government is able
~ hICP dc a ICStINc ill Inc legal ten
der notes it is bound to redeem, and
does. then no raid can be made upon
the treasury, but so often as it is
compelled to pay out legal tender
notes, just so often those notes put it
in the power of their possessors to
raid the treasury. AS a single dollar,
passing from hand to hand, may pay
hundred debts of a dollar each, so
a dollar note can be presented at the
treasury hundred different times
and hundred dollars in gold with
drawn. If the gold so withdrawn is
boarded, as it was five and six months
ago, it will not go back into the treas
ury in payment of customs dues and
internal taxes; with the result that
the treasury becomes more and more
vulnerable.
When the government revenues are
ample to cover all its expenses it is not
probable there will be any gold raids
upon the treasury. But there are al |
ways liable to be gold raids upon the
treasury whenever the people, through !
panic, become apprehensive that the |
government will be unable to redeem |
its pledges in gold. At such a time
the question of adequate or inadequate
revenue would cut no figure. for banks
and individuals would then hoard all |
the gold that came into their possess
sion. Senator Sherman and other emf |
nent authorities on finance may say
what they choose, that there is no |
possibility of making gold raids on the |
treasury when public revenue is ample |
yet the fact remains that the green
backs, so long as they are paid out, |
and they will be until they are retired, I
are an endless chain and a perpetual |
menace to the treasury gold.

REPUBLICAN PRESS ON SILVER
REPUBLICANS"

1t was inevitable that the call of
Senate Teller, Pettigrew, Cannon and
others should meet with condemnation
by the Republican press and them
selves be repudiated. They have never
cared to face the facts as they are
and frankly admit that they are no
longer Republicans; but such is really
the case.
It was to be expected that the stall
w4rt Republican papers would attack
the call. They do. Thus the New York
Commercial Advertiser, than which
there is no more thorough-going Re
publican paper in the United States,
says:
There is no room in the United States
for a Republican silver party" The
little clique of free coinage senators
and representatives who have issued a
cali for the creation of such an or
ganization will find their efforts fruit
less outside of the mining camps and
the strongholds of prairie Populism.
The regularly chosen and accredited
Republican national convention, held
in St. Louis last June, emphatically de-
manded the maintenance of the exist
ing gold standard and pledged the
whole power of Republicanism to the
work of upholding the honesty of
every American dollar. This action
was earnestly Endorsed by an over
whelming majority of Republican vot-
ers at the time when it took place.
The Republican party ratified il with
absolute explicitness at the polls on
Nov. 5. The Republican position on
the currency is fixed and final. 1t is
as definite and distinct as the party's
creed in regard TO the rights of seces-
sion or the policy of protection to
American industries. Repubiicanism
stands for sound, honest dollars, worth
100 cents in gold, as firmly as it stands
for the enforcement of federal author
ity and for the supremacy of the ma
ton.
That certainly states the position of
the Republican party on the money
question, and that was the ques-
ton which determined the party
standing of everybody last year.

lican paper of recognized authority

the deadlock il the police department
is ridiculous and an injury to the eff
ficiency of the administration of the
department. The other day Commits
sioners Roosevelt and Andrews voted
to try Chief Conlin on charges of in
subordination in having criticised the
acts of the commissioners. Messrs.
charges. so that they were dropped
for the time being, although Mr..
Roosevelt viii renew them later An
other deadlock occurred on the Ber-
tillon system of measuring criminals.
Parker and Grant wanted the system
put in the control of Captain O'Brien,
Of the detective bureau, while Roose-
Welt and Andrews held that, while
O'Brien was a good detective chief it
was inadvisable to give him direction
difference the Bertillon system, al
though paid for, cannot be used. The
New Workers do not enjoy this, but
then Roosevelt is in his element when
he is in the midst of a row, so his soul
is delighted Any police or other sys-
tenn can easily be demoralized when
those charged with its administration
are determined to bring it into disre-
pute. To be successful it must be I'M
der the control of those who are heart
lily in favor of IT and who will give it
their cordial support

The Chicago Tribune says the duty
imposed on steel rails by the tariff act
of 1888 to protect the American manu-
facturer was over $17 a ton. Today
rails sold in Pennsylvania for $3.50 a
ton, are delivered in England, freight
prepaid, for s21.SO, while the English
manufacturers are asking s22. 1t looks
very much as if the latter needed pro-
lection, while their American compet-
itors most assuredly do not. They
have reached the point finally where
they can stand alone. The infant in
dustry'' of other years has become a
full-grown industry at last. Some years
ago English ironworkers predicted
that the time would come when the
great natural resources of the United
States in cheap coal and iron ore would
tell and the English manufacturers
would lose their pre-eminence.
The trouble with these Infant in
dustries" is that they soon develop into
infants terrible and become greedier
and greedier. The infant rail industry
has now become the Frankenstein of
the Republican party.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-02

among adherents to Republicanism
speaking of the address to the silver
Republicans, saws:
That call for a silver Republican
convention which Senators Teller. Du-
bois. Mantle and some of their symDa-
thiZers in office and out OF il have is
sued from Washington, is a virtual
confession that they despair of getting
anything done for the white metal
within the ranks of the regular Re-
publican organization.
Having come to this conclusion, and
Lot being altogether prepared yet to
go over TO the Democracy, these bo-
nanZa leaders are endeavoring TO de-
velop a new and separate party. But
why should they call themselves Re
publicans? Silver Republicans" is as
much a contradiction of terms as free
trade Republicans" Both honest money
and protection are cardinas Republican
principles, and any organized body of
men who reject these principles, and
withdraw from the Republican party
because they reject them, has no right
to go about masquerading under the
party name.
The silver Republicans have a right
to take the name they have chosen,
though to the out and out free silver
man "Silver Republican seems like
contradiction in terms. To attach the
name Republican" to the new party
is form of ancestry worship. 1t sig
nifies descent and connotes nothing
as to present beliefs and purposes.
The movement should have the effect
to solidify into a homogeneous whole
those Republicans who have repudiated
the platform of their old party, but
who have not since identified them
selves with anv political party. It
will serve as a rallying point, and in
politics this is always much.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-02

But few days of the present ses-
sion of the legislature remain. The
members are working very hard and
when their work is completed it will
be found that they have accomplished
far more than was expected. Until
their work is completed and is before
the people it will be impossible to pass
any judgment upon it. That it will
meet with general approval. we be-
lieve. 1t will be the record of the
Democratic party, and as it is good or
bad will the judgment of the people
be upon it. We believe it will, gener-
ally, stand all tests.
