Cheap Money

Adelaide, August 23 A member of the London Mock Exchange,writing toan A dekide friend by the last mail says :—" The reign of dirt-cheap money may not last much longer, and when it ends there will be a reaction in all gilt-edge securities.

Mr Warn announced that the Agent- General had received tenders for the construction of a new cable steamer, ranging from £27,000 to £45,000. The Government had decided to accept the lowest tender. It was absolutely neces sary that the Government should have a new steamer for cable work without delay, m it was Impossible for the present vessel to do the work. The necessary provision would be made in the Public Works Estimates. Mr Allan remarked that in that case no opportunity would be given the House of discussing the advisableness of procuring such a steamer. Mr W&rd pointed out that the proposed purchase was mentioned ia laßt year's Financial Statement; and added that if there was no requirement for the vessel, the Government would not get it. TBNBBEB AND WOIIKB. Mr Beeves moved the committal of the Public Tenders, Contracts and Works Bill (which had been read a second time pro forma, to limit undue competition i hi tendering, and otherwise to ensure fair wages and working hours in public contracts and works The Bill was not intended to greatly alter thu existing Btate of things, and a similar B 11 had been ia force in the late London County Council. Th© Bill wai merely optional, providing that local bodies could, if they chose, do their work themselves on wh it was called the co-operative contract system, instead of letting their work by tender. Any industrial union or associa tion could claim arbitration as to hours and wages. The provisions contained in the Bill had been tried in England with great success. Sir Robert Stout agreed with the principle of the Bill; bat asked whether it was right that the wages to be paid to Government servants should fee decided by a Court, instead of by this House. He contended that there was no provision at all for a fair wage in the Bill.

Mr O'Regan opposed the Bill on the ground that it would cause too much interference with private contractor?.

Thompson (Marsden) said that he would use c cry form of the home to prevent the Bill pat sing, and moved aa an amendment) that the Bill be committed fchafc day six months. Mp T. McKenz'e, in seconding the amendment, safd that Mr Reeves legislation had done more to create an employed than anything e'se. Mr Meredith and Mr MeLachlan sup ported the amendment.

He knew that there was a strong Opposition to the Bill in fhe House, but he assured members that there w&b a f-trong feeling throughout the colony ia favor of it. Those who had spoken had ©flared very few practical objections to the Bill.
