DEBTS OF THE CITIES.

Since 1867, or say eight years, the
munic ipal debt of the country has in
creased frightfully, and the burden of
b, bone. The debt of Allegheny
City has increased in this time 500 per
cent. and the tax levy il nearly four
times as much. The debt of Albany
has increased $50 per cent, and the
taxes the same percentage. The debt
of Baltimore bas Increased 60 per cent,
and taxes nearly 100 per cent. The
debt of Boston has increased from
$13, 600, ,00o to $43, 600. 900, and the
taxes from $1,000, 900 to $40, SOC, ,o00.
Chicago has multiplied her debt by
three and her taxes by two. Cleveland
has just quadrupled her obligations
and trebled her taxation. The debt Of
Detroit is double what it was in 1867,
the taxation is nearly three times as
great. Leuisville's debt is double,
taxes 12 per cent. more. Milwaukee
has multiplied her debt by two and
two-thirds, and her taxation by two
and half. Newark owes Sc, 1900, 900,

ton just half. The debt of Portland is
more han three times as large; the
taxation has increased about 10 per

debit by seven and her taxation by two,
Richmond owes more than twice as
much, and taxes are greater by 30 per
cent. St. Louis has increased her debt
from So, $50, 600 to sic, $50, 600 and her
taxation 60 per cent. Rochester IS
debt is more than five times as great,
and her taxes two and a half times as
great. The debt of Pittsburg has been
multiplied by four and half, and the
taxation by feur and q quarter. In
the aggregate, and allowing $50, 900,
600 for convertible and merchantable
assets that belong to the separate cities.
we find that the net Indebtedness of
these nineteen cities, which with de-
ductions made, was not quite 800, 600,
