Secretary Gage makes even poorer
showing for his party's 5o0,0o0.00O
bond scheme than was made by Messrs.
Dingley and Dolliver in advocating that
suspicious measure on the. floor of the
house.
In his statement before the senate
committee, Mr.. Gage claimed that there
would be an available balance of $751;
100000 when the deficiencies in the war
and navy departments were met. When
every pressing claim is met, he esti-
mates that there will be an available
cash balance of $4,000, 900 above the
gold reserve of $1o0, 900, 900. The best
estimates, he asserts, place the extraor-
binary expenses of the war and navy
departments in the vigorous prosecu-
ton of hostilities at $50 100000 up to
July 1, exclusive of the $50, 0oO, 900 al
ready at the disposal of the president
for national defense.
In the face of this showing of figures,
Secretary Gage made the extraordinary
statement that from SAC, 900, 900 to $780,
600, 900 in addition to ordinary revenues
would have 10 be realized between now
and July 1 to preserve the gold reserve
intact. When pressed by Senator Tur-
pie for an explanation in detail of his
plan for meeting the cost of the war,
Mr.. Gage said he 'knew of no other
method for raising this extra money ex-
cept by taxation or the sale of bonds"
Further on the secretary used the
words: ST think it is legitimate oper-
alton to borrow in any way you can
make it acceptable to both parties to,
the contract"
In this last declaration is the keynote
to the whole scheme of the administra-
TONS financial policy. I'm any way
you can make it acceptable to both par
ties to the contract" says the secretary
of the treasury in defining his method
of getting money for the government.
The question naturally suggests itself
as to whom fnanciers of the Gage cali
Der regard as "both parties to the con-
tract" when they begin to cast about
in search of cash for immediate needs
of the government. Of course, the gov
eminent is one of the parties. In the
purview of the Cages the bondholders,
and they only, are the other party"
This takes no account of the wishes of
the people. The only persons whose
wishes are to be consulted are those
comprising the small class of bond
dealers.
In urging this bond transaction, none
of its advocates have yet shown that
there is necessity, present or prospec-
tive, for an issue of any large amount
of Understanding obligations of the
government. Nobody in authority a!
Washington has claimed that the war
was to be long one-that hostilities
were to be extended over period that
would exhaust even the available cash
balance in the treasury.
The senate can do the country no
harm by holding the $500, 100000 bond
bill in allegiance until it becomes in
disputably evident that we shall need
to add more interest-bearing burdens
to the national debt in order to whip
puny, bankrupt Spain.-St. Louis Re-
public.

m. 1t was taken at once to the home
of his mother, Mrs. Adelaide Bagley,
widow of the late Maj w. III. Bagley,
a confederate soldier, and daughter of
ex-Gov. Jonathan Worth, deceased.
The body remained at the Bagley
home until p. m, when it was escort
ed to the rotunda of the capitol by the
governors guards, who mounted guard
over it, The funeral ceremonies began
at four o'clock, and the cortege accom-
panying the body to the grave was one
of the most imposing ever assembled
in this state.
The young officer whose blood was
the first spilled in the present war
was known to nearly everybody in Ra-
leigh, and was very popular. All flags
on public buildings We're placed at
half mast, and business was suspend
ed. The public schools were closed,
and the children attended the funeral
in body.
