Why Bonds Are Issued to Reimburse
the Rich.

the Rich.
And so comes the inevitable talk of
issuing consuls, bonds, to get the money
to pay for the war. But why should
bonds be issued? What is it with which
a nation carries on war, supports it's
armies? Is it the wealth it may pro-
duce in the future? Is it with food to
be harvested in years to come that it
feeds it's troops? Is it with clothes to
be made during the next half century
that it clothes them, munitions of war
that laborers in the next generation
may produce that it supplies them?
Absurd! Yes, it is absurd, but If so,
is it not absurd to issue bonds for war
expenses under the plea that a portion
Of the burdens should be shifted along
to the shoulders of the next generation,
shifted off our own shoulders? Such
shifting is not possible. Might as well
flatter ourselves that we can strengthen
our forces by calling upon men yet un
born to enlist under our colors, go for
ward to the front, as to fancy that we
can increase our present resources for
carrying on a war by the issue of bonds
That with which nation carries on
war, supports It's armies in the field, is
the wealth it can produce while that

have to build ships. But some one will
have to, and it will have to be done as
business Investment on such basis
capital invested. We can do a great
deal in competition with the rest of the
world because Of our great facilities for
the use Of our mechanical in
telligence. while others use human
energy, directed as it may be, however,
indifferently. We held the supremacy
of the sea before.
In the old packet days the American
clipper was far preferable to the slow
going European vessel. The cheapest
steam navigation in the world today is
on our great lakes. When we tell the
British what our lake freights are they
think it can not be done, but it is being
done and it will be done for less.
It we can open a market in the Orient
to our grain, we would take this Pa
cific coast wheat out of the European
market, and not only keep it from serv-
ing to depress the market, but it might
be possible at times, if we could arrange
for return trade, so we would not have
to haul our cars back empty, to find a
market there for a large amount OF our
Middle West wheat. Every time you
haul grain car back empty you double
the mileage, and, consequently, the ex-
pense of transportation. But we have
no ships to carry this product to the
Orient, yet there are few things from
which more benefit could be derived by
American product than would come
from the establishment of such trade
We have been hauling bales of cotton
right through this city to Puget Sound
Every foot of space on our line of boats
is engaged to May next, yet in spite

the Orient last year was 257. 900 tons. or
about 10000 bushels. It might Just
as we'll have been the entire Pacific
coast crop, if we had had the boats to
carry it. The farmer will not get any
benefit from bill under which three
fourths of the bounties 60 to ships Of
20 to 21 knots speed. What we want is
to take our products to a new market,
where the people cannot supply them
selves as well from any other market rs
they can from here. You want to take
this matter up with your representa-
tives in congress. have taken it up
with the members from this state and
the adjoining states, but they want to
hear from you. Tell your representa-
ttvcs what you want them to do.

AN IMPORTANT ADDRESS
By James j. Hill Before the state
Agricultural Society, Jan.
0, 1900.
Opening Up the Oriental Markets to
the Products of American Farms.
CONTINUED From Last Weekly
ON THE CHANDLER BILL.

ON THE CHANDLER BILL.
One of the senators from New Hamp-
shire has introduced bill for the ap-
pointment of a commission to consider
ways and means for the extension of
our Oriental trade. The new senator
from North Dakota, too, has a bill aim
ed at the same purpose: both of them,
it seems to me. wander wide of the
mark. The one provides for a COM
mission Of two from the Pacific slope,
two from the Atlantic states and one
from the great Millde West. Now, the
Pacific coast can market practically 3O,-
900, 900 bushels of grain. It is the Mid
die West that has the widest interest
and will derive the greatest benefit. If
we were to begin with the Orient COM
merce of one copper cent per capita per
day on their population, 1t would
amount for China alone to $4,000, 900
a day, $500, a year. Why, we
haven't got it to give them. Think Of
these opportunities at our DOORS
European products must find their way
by way of GibraHer and the Mediter-
ranean, around India, practically across
two oceans and the Mediterranean. We
have but one ocean to, cross. Some
friends insist that they are going to
help us by the Panama canal. That
might do some good if we had some
ships, but OF the Oriental carrying trade
for the last year. .fw which we have
any figures. just shree fourths of one
per cent was carried under the Ameri-
can flag. Yet We sallsourselves COM
mercial nation. and are ambitious to be
maritime nation.
Now there is bill in congress to en-
courage the building of American ships.
It gives bonus on American ships ac-
cording to their length and size, steam
or sail, but it falls short, it seems to me,
It does not provide that these ships
need carry one ton Of American pro-
ducts. why 81 --.'d we pay bonus for

war Is going on, and the wealth It has
produced and stored up In the past. It
Is wealth in existence now, made now,
that Britain spends to carry on her
war in South Africa. It is this that 70
contributed, and why should not every
citizen be called upon to contribute &C.
cording to his share? In times gone
past they were called upon to do 80.
But that was before the invention Of tho
modern bond system, system conceiv-
ed to shunt of the burdens of war upon
the humber members Of society. For
what means an issue of bonds to cover
the expenses Of the war, an issue under
the plea that 1t is putting the burdens
onto the shoulders of q future genera
tion, a plea that Is mere folle de rois,
but which serves to SO mummix the
people as to make them easy dupes? Il
means the contributions the rich make
to the war shall be repaid to them with
interest out of the earnings of the many
in future years. This is what bond
issuing to get money to carry on a war
means. 1t means this and nothing
more, that the rich shall be reimbursed
for their contributions. It means that
the rich shall be relieved Of paying
their share Of the costs of war; aye,
may grow rich out of It,
But If In raising money for the ex-
penses of great war the issue of bonds
were avoided, the tax rates would have
to be raised nightly, raised more upon
the property Of the rich than they could
stand. The rich, 1t Is said, simply
could not make the contributions re-
quired of them. Can't? But they do.
In every war that Is fought to success
full conclusion, in every war in which
bonds are issued they and the multitude
do make the necessary contributions.
True, they are reimbursed for their
contributions, or given promise Of re-,
imbursement while the multitude are
not. But why ought this to be? Is II
not unjust, does 1t not make the bur-
dens of the multitude, the burdens i'm
posed by war, left as legacy Of war,
more grevious than they ought to be?
BY war tax of mere 1.-THE on the in
come of every person, rich and poor.
in the United Kingdom, Britain could
raise the money that is now estimated
will be needed for the South African
war, and without 80 grievously burden
ing the multitude, as the war, with it's
legacy Of bonds, bids fair to burden
them. It is indeed likely true that the
rich would make great complaint, great
outcry against such tax. But, perhaps,
If they had to contribute their share Of
the war expenses, and, like the multi
tude, without the hope Of reimburse
ment, the war would have an earlier
ending. Aye, If this had been the ac-
cepted way of raising war funds the
war, perhaps, would have had no be-
ginning. Philadelphia American.
