WHO ARE REPUDIATORS? lu th ■ course of savage denuneiation of the Stanley Matthews.or Tell r, resolution the New York Evening Post asserts that the “only novelty ir * this cl.imsy congressional Performance is the fact that the resolution now applies as well to s'.6 ’,000,00' bonds sold in oud faith for gold sii ce 1893.” Ii these bonds were s Id in good faith tor gold, and reference is rn-td to the (Tevt ** laud issues, how com s it that President Cleveland in a -message to congress urged that they be made specifically pay* able in ‘gold,’ instead of ‘com,’ declaring that if this were done the treasury would save $16,000.000, as in tha c sethe bouds would be 3 per cent instead if 4 per cent. The pres* idem’s proposition was thorough. debated, and rejected ilia House of Rcpr‘Scuta 1 1 ves in which the renublioans had more than two-thirds, by a vote of i2i) ayes to 167 nays By this vote lie House declared tie bonds should be 'coin bonis payable in gold or silver, at the option of the government. in his annual message, sub mitted to congress December 3,1 95, referring to the contract with the hor an syndicate for over $6”,000,000 gold. President Cleveland said: On the tiny tins contract w>>made its term- were cominunicat ed to Congress In a special exec utive message, i wh eh it was st ited that m ;re than sl6 000,000 would be saved to the govern.ns ut if gold bonds bean g three per cent inter et were authorized tob*. substituted for tte> e mentioned iu the detract. The bonds ‘mention d in the contract’ were ‘coin’ bonds. President Cleveland says the syndicate secured bonds $-6.000,000 cheaper because they are ‘coin’ bonds. These are the indisputable facts of record. Yet it is denounced as a purpose of dishonesty and repudiation that the Teller resolution declares these bonis are pavable according to the implied and express words of theconiract, in gold or silver coin, at the option of the government. W o are the reoudiators? The Times puts it to the integrity and common sense of the reader. Ar they not the bond holders, who, three years ago, taking $62,000,000 of ‘coin’ bonds at $16, 000,000 cheaper than if they were made ‘gold’ bonds, now insist that th y must be paid in gold, and that payment according to the contract is dishonest? hhy did they take them $16, 000,000 cheaper if they were ~ot ‘coin’ bonds? Why did they offe • $16,000,000 more for them if they were made paya.de i n gold? No such proposition of open and direct repudiation has been made in the financial history of the Federal government And it comes from those who arrogantly and impudently claim to be the exclusive guardians of the public honor and credit.—Lafayette Sunday limes. —.— • “Forty Years of Oratory”, in two vo nmoa. containing th» ap echos cf Senate oorhees in tbe House and Senate, h; arguments in oonrta, and Mso hie Public Lecture«, ia now on tLe n.a iei, and eeiving very fevonlit notice.
