o City Expcnscs-The Estimates

Tho City Expenscs-Ths Estimates
y for 1874.
The estimates of the city departments were
presented yesterday to the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, and there does not appear
to be any prospect of decrease Of the city
expenses or of the rate of taxation next year
The Park Department asks for $76S, ZOO. The
Board Of Health requires 1927, 200, being
about $40. 600 less than last year. The Police
Department needs s4,500,0OO, which is
$400, 900 more than last year but this increase
is rendered necessary by the increase in the
number Of the force. Mayor Havemeyer
sagely remarked that when he was Mayor OF
the city before the appropriation for the police
force was only $4,000, and the patrolmen
received only s50Oa year salary. Since that
time, however, we have reached another gen.
Grafton, and it would scarcely be expected
that our police expenses could be made, under
any system Of economy. quite 80 low as
they were in the days of watchmen's
rattles and amateur button detectives.
The Fire Department also shows an
increased demand of 100000, neces-
STATED by additions to salaries and the pur-
chase ofnew and approved fire appliances. The
department asks for 81. 465,00O. The Depart
ment Of Public Works, which has shown more
real economy and greater reduction from
the old expenses than any other in the city
government, requires this year 81, 545, 900. or
about 5000 more than in 1873, the increase
being necessitated by the cost Of new lamps
erected in the upper part of the city under the
orders of the Common Council. The Depart
ment of Charities and Correction also shows
an increase of $4,000 over last years ex-
penditures.
We have no fault to find with these es-
Inmates, provided the citizens receive the
benefits Of liberal appropriations in the i'm
provements which are SO needful to the
growth, development and prosperity of the
metropolis. The people of New York are
not niggardly in their ideas of govern
mental expenses, but they are not will
ing to see their taxation increased
above the rate imposed by the corrupt ring
they have recently destroyed, while all public
enterprise is abandoned, while the honest
creditors OF the city are turned away from
treasury almost bankrupted by incompetent
financial management, and while the city is
disgraced by parsimony, favoritism and
official discord. They did expect wise
economy and an efficient government at the
hands of reform. In this they have thus far
been disappointed. They will now demand
that if liberal appropriations are made for the
several departments we shall have spirit, har-
mony and enterprise infused into the govern
ment, so that they may reap the benefits Of
the expenditures in an improved and enriched

principles underlying the Mutual Buchu. The
poor had paid to the bank five millions of dol
lars. This money came from hard, cruel, con-
slant toll That was one fact During its
career of two years they had received eighteen

asked in tears by many sad. suffering soul;
the laborer who went into drink and bad ways,
the widow whose body was found floating in
the river, and whose children are now in the
asylum the brave young artisan who had to
forego his Bessie and the gown, the saddest
case of all, so terrible that we dare not name
it, so pitiful is the misery. despair and shame.
What had they to do with financial stringency,
the wars of the Sultan and the rage of Prince
B;rn ,rck? They wanted their money, which
they had earned and which never came. As
for the assets, why repeat that story9 The

him for his services-all gone, and no one
blamed, no one punished, only the poor, who
believed falsehood to be truth. AS for the
President, you may enjoy his hospitaities in
Paris, while the Secretary will show you the
attractions of Spain, and regret that an un-
toward money market prevented his returning
the half million in time, and discuss with you
the superstition and sinfulness that have fallen

The Financial Embarra ssment OF the
Spragues.


The financial embarrassment Of A. & w.
Sprague and of the New York house of Hoyt,
Spragues Co. is one of those events which
affect not only o few merchants and manufac-
turers but the entire business interests of the
country. And while these results spring in
directly from the disturbance of their business
not fewer than fifty thousand people are di-
rectly affected Their employees alone num-
Der nearly ten thousand If these are thrown
out of employment they and their families
must suffer great privation in consequence.
The house in this city has suspended already,
and every enterprise which the Spngues con-
troll may follow in the track of its failure.
All this would be lamentable enough if it was
due to no other causes than the stringency of
the money market and the natural embarrass-
men,s of their business. But we hear also of
other causes. 1t is said rival house holds i'm
mense quantities of their paper and is squeez-
ing the life out Of them, seeking at once to
destroy the Spragues and their business. If
this story is true-if this rich family has been
guilty of conduct so cruel and so unnecessary
the act can only be compared to that of Skip
per Eeson, when, with his hard heart, he
sailed away from the sinking wretches OF
Marblehead. We hope for humanity's sake,
that they own not dollars worth Of
Spragues' paper, and that the workingmen Of
Rhode Island are not to be made the victims
of the feuds Of these rival families

easy time before him, no doubt, and the
chance Of on Executive pardon. All, but Mr..
