was 81 per cent, that of his competitor, Mr..

only security that can be taken for the collec-
ton of taxes is real estate security in Hartford

An Empty Treasury.


When President Cleveland retired from Of
flee there was a large surplus in the treasury
at Washington, but a very different state of
affairs exists now. The last Congress appro-
priated thousand million dollars and now
the general government finds itself on the
verge of bankruptcy. The receipts from tar
i'll duties do not equal the quarterly expendi-
ures for pensions, &C., and it is feared that
the time of payment of the government bonds
will have to be extended and the sum set
aside therefor, be used to meet the govern
ment's obligations.

The Treasury is practically Quilted. Hard
ly ANYTHING remains which can be taken, IN
less it is the gold reserve of 500, 0O0,0 900 which

-Ex-Secretary Bayard, in the May Forum

cause of the presence within our borders of
alien subjects and citizens of foreign powers
whose personal wrongs may not be remedied
to their satisfaction, or to that of their gov
eminent, without the impairment and disor-
der of our system, then the time has arrived
when the unquestionable and sovereign right
of the United States to determine by positive
law who shall be permitted to enter our gates
and who shall be excluded, must be exercis-
