Links Of the Endless Chain.


In communication published in our
column OF letters From the People,"
Mr.. r. M. Headlee asks some ques-
lions which, no doubt. have puzzled
many thoughtful readers. but the ex-t
PLANTATION OF the apparent difficulty is
really simple. 1t is solved for the most
part in the speech OF Mr.. Aldrich In the
senate upon the financial bill. The
greenback is the only purely credit cur
rency in this country. 1t is a mere
promise to pay, the evidence of a debt
created, under the legal tender act. by
forced loan levied by the government
upon the people.
The silver dollar resembles more
closely the subsidiary coinage. 1t has
bullion value, but not equal to its face.
The business of the country needs and
has absorbed a large amont Of this
money. AS long assthere is no menace
Of an arbitrary and unnatural increase
by legislation, 1t will not deteriorate. As
far az the silver dollar is concerned,
the fixing of the gold standard by stat
ute creates no new condition. BY re-
peated declarations of congress we are
pledged to maintain the parity Of all
our currency. Yet there was no de-
mand for gold In exchange for silver
dollars in the days when the treasury
was called on for gold in exchange for
greenbacks at the rate of from $4,000
900 to slo,oOO.OOo week.
The silver certificate is still different.
A IS certificate. for instance. bears this
pledge only: '"rhis certifies that there
have been deposited in the treasury of
the United States five silver dollars"
payable to bearer on demand. 1t IL a
promise to pay out silver dollars. The
holder cannot ask for anything else,
any more than he could demand q cor
ner lot on a wheat receipt. The ma
tional banks take care Of their own
notes. In case they cannot redeem them
the government will. But the treasury
has deposited with 1t bonds to more
than the total note issue as security. II
1t has to redeem, It sells these bonds for
gold; not new bonds. but the old ones,
purchased and handed over by the bank
for just this emergency before it was
allowed to emit single note. It there
fore appears that it is the legal tender
and It alone that can set the endless
chain" In motion.

A UNION STATION.

Seattle, Jan. g. 1900.
To the Editor; The discussion In the
columns of the Post-IntelliGencer for the
past week. with. very few exceptions,
feature Of union station. which, be-
lieve. IL demanded by the best interests
of our growing city.
The question OF closing streets and the
approaches to the water front on Inc
one hand, and the desirability Of a good
depot for the one railroad on the Other,
apparently being the only questions a. -
sue There II no promise that u tnc
pending petition was granted that there
would be union passenger depot. and
strong probabilities ara that Seattle would
never secure one. In fact, there Is not
sufficient room for q union station and
yards between Columbia and Madison
street. While am among those beiiev.
Ing that south OF King street, with coal
bunkers and tracks removed from that
street, II the best available site for
depot, yet / confess 70 some disappoint-
ment that the other railroad interests,
the Pacific Coast Company and other
private owners OF tide nAts on the broad
tract plated az recommended by the
expert, Mr.. Bogue, do not come forward
with some definite plan for union depot
and terminal in that section, SO that
more Intelligent comparison can sbe made

for the city council. with strong comsnit-
tees from the Chamber of Commerce and
real estate board. 70 ofuanfSe terminal
company to direct ana aybitrate these
railroad problems and secure union
passenger station and arrangement OF
terminals. As the discussion proceeds
II seems to me to indicate to the present
city council that there are several ob5ec-
tons to the pending ordinances that the
people are determined they should heed
That Railroad avenue must be redeemed
from Its present use AZ a SWITCHING yard,
and such further abuse absolutely Pro
hibited.
That no permission for freight yards and
sheds to any company be granted north
of jackson street and south OF Pike street.
That Jackson, Main, Washington. Yes

not be vacated or closed for any company
or any purpose.
II the council finds the prospects for
proper terminals south so dubious that

considered, but from Madison north to

with overhead roadways on Seneca and
University from First avenue to tine west
side of Railroad avenue, and with COM
plete inclosures for the yards. SO passeH-
gers can depart from and approach trains
only via gates in the station. this, and
only for passenger, baggage and express
purposes, might be considered as COM
promise measure. Possibly this location,
with about lao feet OF yard room and an
entrance from both north and south for
trains, and Post street 100 feet wide, would
prove acceptable for the much-desired
union passenger station.

A, Conclusive Argument.

Candidates for the honor Of having
written the gold plank of the st. Louis
platform continue to appear. Those
who abandon their original contention
OF exclusive authorship Of the entire
declaration will not be satisfied with
anything less than credit for having
suggested or insisted upon the use OF
the word gold" On that claim every
man takes his stand and will not have
his glory dimmed or be deposed from
his eminence. These gentlemen are all
practical politicians. with a large ex-
perience Of public life and its wiles,
Most Of them are soon to be put on
trial. and keep or lose their places ac-
cording to what the voters think Of the
records that they have made.

WOULD ADVANCE SEATTLE.

Seattle, Jan. s, 1900.
To the Editor: fully believe that the
expenditure at this time proposed to be
made by the Northern Pacific In it's I'm
proyements, and the necessary improve
ments to the conditions on our water
front in the way Of permanent work, such
as filling establishment of seaWall, etc.,
will at once advance Seattle twenty years
and will forever set at rest the question
as to the location Of the commercial GEN.
ter of Puget sound. Certainly II the North
ern Pacific is not allowed to improve this
property no one else can. neither can 1t be
confiscated for any other use, and the
present chaotic condition must continue,
With the consequent expensive methods of
transacting business. To my \ personal
knowledge the water front improvements
Of the Northern Pacific In Tacoma, hand
ling their business as they do, controlling
the wharfage charges, make that harbor
the cheapest offered on either the At
lantic or Pacific coast to the commerce Of
the world. Assuming that the city Is not
able to provide these facilities by con-
demnIng the property and putting In all
the expense of the needed improvements,
1t would be much better to let them be
provided by the owners of the land who
stand willing to make the expenditure.
l have not yet seen any published map
of the water front that shows all OF the
Northern Pacific property, SO that a read
err of our dailies would have hard work
in forming an Idea OF what the improve
ment of its property would actually mean
to our water front. 1t sweeps out of
existence at once a mess of shacks and
pitfalls Of all kinds, to give place to an
established, well-ordered business front
ready to do any and all business offered !;
and under the harbor Improvement sys-
tenn. as planned and mapped by v. G..
Bogue, there will be miles OF water front
available for anyone not wishing to util-
ize the Northern Pacific improvements.
do not think there is any argument
that would appeal to a man who has the
interest of Seattle at heart which would
warrant him In taking the position that
the Northern Pacific should not be al
lowed to improve its property practically
as outlined in the plans presented by
that company. The only point for the
city IL the character and number of over
head crossings. and to insist upon the
protection OF such crossings as remain
at grade by proper gates and lights.
Yours respectfully,

URE6.
Seattle, Jan. 4, 1900.

Seattle, Jan. 4. 1900.
To the Editor: have lived in Seattle
for a good. many years and have acquired
in ray connections with public affairs
and acquaintance with our business men
considerable knowledge of the wants Of
the city In regard to railroad facilities.
Further, believe have never been re-
garded as other than loyal to our city's
best interests, and In the present com
municasion l speak without personal or
selfish ends In view.
I want to see the present location of
the railroad station retained for that
purpose. 1t Is the best site. by all odds,
for such purposes. In fact. In my judg-
ment, there Ia no other to be found
which could approach 1t for the conven-
fence of our people. Hence I hope that
no opposition will be put In the way Of
the speedy accomplishment of the much
needed improvements which are now I'M
der consideration.
The taking care of the freights is a
problem which will receive careful at
tention in order that no i'll should result
from the use of Railroad avenue as pro-
posed; but it seems to me that this can
be met and all Objectionable features. il
any exist, overcome by the use of ele-
waited passage-ways of light and strong
construction erected at the necessary
points, to afford ut all times easy and

ming them either over or through the up
per stories of the railroad buildings and
descending to the docks beyond by an
easy grade. Doubtless the city engineer
could devise, and the railroad company's
artisans could build, such avenues of ac-
cess, which would remove the last OBJ
Jecti0ns to the plans submitted. For
myself, do not doubt that some such
compromise or alteration OF minor details
could be effected to accomplish the main
purpose Of the plan, which Is to provide
adequate terminal facilities for the rail-
road business of our growing city, and
I should be highly gratified at seeing
the present uncomfortable and ill-iooking
depot grounds transformed into a site
for such fine and altogether suitable
structures as are shown In the plan now
contemplated.
The water front is the natural, proper
and necessary place for tracks sufficient
to carry the business where inland and
ocean commerce meet, and 1t will always
be so. With proper safeguards and i'm
provements as above suggested. or which
can be otherwise arranged to the same eff
feet, this conjunction need not be hazard
