The volume of bonded debt or war- its to be issued by any county for relief should be limited. The basis for such debt should be the assessment for 1803-4 and votes cast at the elections of 1802-3, with a computation as to population on the ratio of five and one- half persons to each voter. There are no more people in the drouth-stricken counties today than there were in 1892 or 1893. Quite the contrary there has been a materiak decrease since the drouth of last season. . Unless the legislature places stringent limitations on the proposed relief debt every dollar of our permanent school fund will be drawn out of the treasury and we will not get it back in 100 years unless it is replaced by direct taxation, as the constitution requires to be done in case of defalcation or losses through any other cause. COLORADO'S NEW GOVERNOR, e people of Colorado are to be con- gratulated upon the accession of a clear- headed, conservative governor. Colorado has had a rather severe experience dur- ing the past year or two, and the testi- mony of many of her best citizens has been that she has suffered quite as much from the antics of the explosive and rattle-brained Waite as from any other cause. At any rate, the verdiet of the voters st November showed most conclusively that they had had enough of the sort of polities of which the ex-governor is an exponent. The new governor is in line with the general demand for reducing public penditures. This is a matter which every state executive this year has nestly sought to fmpress upon the I, ture and it is one which western leg. '8 especially should give most fous attention to. It is hardly neces- sary to say that silver receives considoer- ation in the inaugural address of Gov- ernor Mclntyre. No public man in Colorado would satisty popular expect tion or retain popular confidence who Aid not improve every opportunity to suy something in behalf of the white metal. The new governor of that state believes, in common with all its other citizens, that the one thing necessary to restore prosperity to the coun- try s the rehabilitation of silver and its free and unlimited coinnge at the existing legal ratio. Very likely the governor is correct in saying that the restoration of silver would place the people of Colorado in an enviable position. Kor probably do this, but according to trust- worthy information the silver mining interests of that state arve doing fairly well now, while the inereased produc- tion of gold must bring to the state nearly as wuch income from mining as it formerly recelved when silver was worth 80 or 40 ceuts than it is at present. But bowever th may be, Colorado will bave to be con- tent with existing conditions regarding | the treasury. silver for some time to come. as can be seen, the prospect of the white legislative supplies wetal occupying a larger place in the currency of the world than it now does the, at least, it would | | New York City and they the currency bill under consideration in the house providing that one-half of the customs duties shall be paid in gold or legal tender notes. The object of this is to better enable the treasury to main- tain the gold reserve. Formerly it was required that all customs duties be paid in gold, but now they can be paid in‘any form of currency except national bank notes. The result is that very little gold finds its way into the treasury from this source and the expediency of changing this has been urged by ex-Secretary Boutwell and others as an effective means of helping the treasury to keep up the gold reserve. There does not ap- pear to be any valid objection to the proposition. The requirement that 50 per cent or even a larger proportion of the duties from customs shall be paid in gold would not be a discrimination against other forms of money that wou'd impair their standing. The soundness of all the currency rests upon the gold reserve, and as long as this is main- tained at the amount deemed to be safe the credit of no other form of currency will suffer. It is only when this basis of security is seriously redueed that the standing of the paper money of the gov- ernment is in danger, Under present conditions it is mani- festly impossible to maintain the re- serve, even by frequent issues of bonds. It is only a little over a month since the treasury gold was built up by borrow- ing and it is agnin reduced to about $80,000,000, with the certainty of being still further depleted. The shipments for foreign account are heavy and it is reported that foreign bankers think the outward movement will be prolonged for months. The gold thus called for will be drawn largely, if not wholly, from the treasury, for the banks show no disposision to part with their gold for | export. There is probably not less than $70,000,000 in gold held by the banks of seem deter- mined to hang on to it, regardless of the dificultics and embarrassments of the treasury or the menace to the credit of the government from a declining gold reserve, When gold is demanded for export these banks supply the exporters with currency to be exchanged at the subtreasury for gold, and this process, which has been going on for the past year and a half, is very likely to be continued. When customs duties are to be paid it is also the practice of the bauks to furnish the importers with other money than gold or legal tender notes. This practice would be stopped it 50 per cent of the duties was wade payable in gold or legal tender notes, which In effect are the same, and the treasury would be assured an annual | wore an ounce | in s | Walker proposes, but even that would help to | ! l gold fncome from this source of about $100,000,000, It might be advisable to make the proportion of duties to be paid gold larger than Representative unquestionably be a very g The proposal to etire and So far |cancel the United States legal tender notes s not a4 popular one and some other plan will have to be adopted for protecting and maintaining the reserve. of the democrats in the present congress are not favorable to the destruction of the greenbacks and that no currency plan embracing this proposition has any chance of adoption. A vote on the currency bill will doubt- less be reached this week. The result cannot be forecast with any degree of certainty, but assuming that under the pressure of caucus action the bill passes the house its defeat in the senate, if it ever gets to a vote in that body, can be regarded as assured. In this con- nection it will be interesting to note the composition of the finance committee of the senate, to which the bill will be re- ferred if it goes to the senate. The committee stands six democrats and five republica as follows: Voorhees, McPherson, Harris, Vest, Jones of Ar- kansas and White, democrats; Morrill, Sherman, Jones of Nevada, Allison and Aldrich, republicans. Jones of Nevada is classified with the republicans be- cause he is in full sympathy with them on all questions except the coinage of silver and would undoubtedly vote with them against the so-called Carlisle cur- rency bill. McPherson and White, it is believed, would also co-operate with the republicans in opposition to this meas- ure, so that there is no probability that the senate finance committee would re- port it in its present form. We see no reason to change the opinion heretofore expressed that there is very little chance of any currency legislation by the pres- ent congress.
