NO ISSUE OF BONDS.
wl.L NOT RE NECESSARY.
Senator Teller Says silver Men VIII Not
Consent to 1.-THE Governments Can
Raise Enough by Internal Taxes and
Issue Of Treasury Notes,

New York. April 1S.-The Worlds
correspondent telegraphs: ''There will
be no issue Of bonds for war purposes
until every other available means OF
raising revenue Is exhausted" said
Senator Henry NJ. Teller, the leading
silver man OF the United States Sen
ate this evening. I'VE do not antici-
pate such n very long war. unless we
get into complications with some 9TH
er powers, but. speaking for myself.
l do not see any necessity Of issuing
bonds Mt ALL. Not even the most en-
thusastic gold man of this administra-
tion thinks seriously OF issuing gold
bonds, for that would be impossible.
Under no possible circumstances would
that sort OF thing be agreed to-"
"The silver men who have given this
subject careful consideration, are un-
able to see why there should be any
issue at all, and in light of their pre-
ent information l am pretty sure 1t
would be safe to predict that they
would never give their consent.
"First thing that would be done
would be revision of the tariff laws
and the imposition Of additional inter
nal revenue taxes for war purposes. In
times Of war people will not object to
that, but they would endure the bur-

out complaining.
1--WE should put additional tax OF 81
on beer and a tax Of ten cents a pound
on tea and three or four cents a pound
on coffee. We could impose q tax in
conformity with the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court and place a tax on
bank checks and deeds and negotiable
instruments. Through this plan, ex-
tended as the exigcncies Of the occa-
sion require, 1t would be an easy
matter to raise S15O, 100000 n year.
.'If this should not be sufficient to
prosecute the war and keep up the
revenues, there would still be no use Of
issuing bonds and am sure the prop
osition would be objected to. Bonds
carry interest, and the debt could be
met with non-interest bearing obli-
cations.
''Silver men would favor the issue Of
treasury certificates, redeemable In
coin at the pleasure Of the government.
These would be an obligation, just as
bonds would be, they would not draw
interest and the government could fioa;
them just rs easily and get all the
money 1t needs. If issued in denomi-
nations small enough, these certificates
would circulate ns money. or course
1t would initiate the currency system
somewhat. but the country could stand

nearly SO heavy burden upon the

this should be made marketable. He
has Il team camp outfit and grinding

The cnttlemen of Eagle county have
sent word to the Gruudell brothers to
kill their sheep or they would do it for
them. Now, this is carrying things n
trite too far. The Grundells keep in
their own enclosure only n few head
of Shropshres from which to obtain
mutton for the ranch hands in sum

they must do away with their sheep.

be placed in the hole and the earth
pressed very tightly about them. If

There are large number OF prece-
dents which might ald in shaping ac-
tion in the Maine case when the facts
are fully established. While none OF
the cases show the fearful loss Of life
caused by the Maine explosion. yet
they include many instances in which
the United States had adopted energet-

American citizens in foreign eoun-

to "use such force as is necessary" to
