PAT YOUR CITY TAXESi

IL l5 hpN Lllno 10 appeal 10 tho loyalty anti
pride Of Chicago people to pay their taxes
without further delay. Tor tic first time in
years there is n condition Of things in this
city to ntttact the payment Of taxes, and for
tho first time III years. it will bo indecent mud
outrageous for men not to p0y who have it
in their power to do 50. Heretofore the
reckless expenditure Of city moneys and tho
dsreputable clnss Of people living upon tho
taxes gave d good excuse for a refusal to pny
until it became absolutely necessary. Now,
however, the practical work OF retrenchment
has been begun, aud therc is not tho slight
est doubt that the present Mayor and Coun-
ell will reduce tho current expenditures to
the lowest figure consistent with tho public
welfare. In the meantime, the city
finances nra in n dcp1orablo condition.
Several months back pny is due to
the policemen, tho tire1nen, tho teachers,
aud all those employees of tho city who
are most i'll need of their earnings from
mouth to month. Between ssDO,00o and
st 900, 900 are due employees for services and
labor rendered, for which neither the law
nor justice warrants further postpone
mcnt. 1t is not too much to say TINT thers
arc 6omo instances Of actual suffering and
there are certainly mauy instances OF gross
swindling. arising from the failure of tho
city to pay those who have tlone the public
genuine service. III both cases people suffer
who have earned their money. It is also
necessary to provide for the interest on II
large part of the bou<scd debt which falls
due July I. Tho city must have money in
order to escape default and in ortlor to re-
lieve tho necessities OF those to whom it is
indebted for public order and protection.
Wo have tho pledge now that tho money so
paid shall bo used for these legitimate
purposes, antl not employed in The 'shin-
Mug" processes TINT have bcen going on
Tor couple OF years to Keep up the per-
nlcious ind unlawful issue Of certificates. 1t
is time, therefore, for tlo propcrty-owners
to pay mp, aud relieve city really rich md
prosperous from the blcmsh Of bankruptcy,
tho appearance OF which has been brought
oil by false policy Rnd IN cxtrnSagant ex-
pcndlturo OF public moneys.
There is also MI appeal to the selfish
nature OF those who arc not to be influenced
by these higher considerations. Tho taxes
for 1870 nrc really past due, and their collcc-
ton can 10 enforced within tho Ncxt two
months by judgment md sale. The law

THE GENERAL BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
Much is written and printed as to the
causes leading to tho present general busi-
ness depression, n depression Which has pre-
vnilcta in this country ever since September,
1878. and which is moro or less prevalent in
al! pnrts of tho commercial world. All COM.
nscrco is speculative. The man who pro-
duccs does no TINT he may sell his products
at profit beyond the ordinary wages of his
| labor. Men build houses that they may
enjoy tho rents. Men engage in nlAnt.fac-
turcs that they may sell them at nh advance
on the cost of raw materials and of convert
ing them into fnbrics. Men bny goods in
foreign countries expecting to sell them here
| at profit. Men buy grain to be delivered n
| month hence, expecting to profit by an nd
rnnco in prices; aud mon buy antls and lots,
urban sntl rural, holding them in the hope
of q rise in selling values. Without spccula-
ton, and unless mon n,ake ventures, there
is no commerce. III such case trade is coll
fined to m actual exchange of necessary
commodities, md there il staguation aud
du1lness. When tho retail merchant, instend
of purchasing largely, merely purchases SUI
fcicnt to keep small assorted stock le dis
| appoints the wholesale dealer, tho importer,
| and tho manufacturer. When tho whole
body of retailers do tl,is, the disappointment
is general. When tito man with so,ne money
invests it in lands or lots, or buildings, ho to
lint tar,& Ill.
induced to do tho samo thing in other lines
of speculation !; men get hopeful aud 60 to
manufacturing others start out in NIL the
varied branches Of trade, production is en-
couragcd, more labor il employed, the spirit
progresses until there il q general activity,
aud y rapid exchange Of commodities. This
tra>lo extends from community to co1nmu-
nifty, Stato to State, and country to country.
| Then there is greater production, IN i1lcrenso
Of wealth, the employment Of TINT wealth in
trade, and there is u prosperity equal to tho
aggregate activity.
Another fact bearing on modern conl-
mcrco is tho chnnge which hns taken placo
in the ownership Of the capital employed in
trade: Thu time was when tho merchants
and tho capitalists were the Same persons.
Then n merchant did business on his own
capital, and upon 6uch credit Us the possess
sion Of that capital authorized. Now there

TENNESSEE.

MEMPHIS, November The election
was unusually quiet. A very heavy vote
was polled, that Of the city being over
10000, or l,000 over any former vote. 1t
is believed that Thomas, Independent
Democratic candidate for Governor, has
carried the county by over 1900, and
that the Republicans have elected their
legislative ticket. The Democrats gen.
orally concede the election of Randolph,
Republican, for Congress, over Young,
Democrat, the present incumbent. The
official vote will not be known until u
late hour.
MEMPHIS, November 7, ii P. NJ
The vote of this city is not yet counted,
and probably will not be till very late
hour. The Democrats claim the election
of their county ticket, and that Young,
Democrat, is reelected to Congress BY a
small majority. Thomas, Independent
candidate for Governor, has undoubtedly
carried this county by heavy majority,
and also Fayette county by 800 to 400.
There is immense excitement over the
election. Immense crowds are around
the newspaper offices.
Specials from Mississippi show Demo-
cratic gains.
NAsHvILLE-The election was quiet
in all parts of tie State. There is no
doubt of the election OF Parker, Demo-
crat, Governor, and certainly eight out
of ten Congressman by the Democrats.

probabilities favor Giddings, the regular
