ticularly upon the numbering business. We
find people who contemplate building hes
itating about making contracts for lumber,
and the passage Of the Morrison bill would
make it still worse as il would take time to
adjust things TO the new state of affairs.
We are doing business now on q very small
margin, and any reduction in the tariff
would necessi;a,e reduction in rages which
ought not 10 be done. The Democrats in
terested in the lumber business are as much
opposed to the bill as the Republicans, but
the average Washington county Democrat
will vote the ticket with but little regard to
consequences.

accounts for the difference between the
amounts charged 10 the various appropria-
tionS and the amounts passing through the
treasurer's hands, as shown by his accounts.
The whole tenor Of Mayor Redman's in-
augursl on this point and the inference to
be drawn from il. was tina, so many orders
had been drawn against the several funds,
tha, the treasurer had paid that amount lack
ing about 5000. Consequently this bal
ance was Indebtedness in The form Of out
standing orders. The truth is, as NAV be
seen by looking at the treasurer books,
that there were only three orders oatstand-
lng amounting to less than 5000.
