1t will be seen that the revenue
from all sources fell short OF the re-
guirements, wit: To cover twelve
notes, 500, 900 each, money borrowed
of the bank for current expenses,
$240, 900; GrandJean property, S35, 900;
interest and sinking fund, 6l,076.76;
or total of 1886, O7676
The sinking fund was calculated at
2 per cent, but 10 per cent was re-
quired on portion of the bonds.
Such is the condensed statement of
our city finances for 1890; showing an
actual deficit of about $4,000. Now
let us look at 1891.
To increase the revenue without
raising the rate of taxation, a gross
deception was practiced by the city
administration. The taxable values
raised by the so called equalizing
board from s2l ,456, 755 to s27 $40, 345.
The rae of taxation upon this basis
was fixed at Sl.10 towit: general fund
80 cents, sinking fund 10, school 10;
which should yield 1902 $500. Add
to this revenue from other sources
So, $50, or a total revenue of 1877 ,572.-
90, or shortage of something like
s63, 100000.
The sinking fund is calculated upon
a bonded indie tedness of 81, pa, 500, at
2 per cent.
immense annual income of $377 SIP.
The budget OF expenses amounts to
$40, 524 80.
The total appropriation for the fiscal
year is $40, 524 80. This amount is ex-
elusive of the regular $50, 900 improve
ment fund derived from bonds. Or in
round figures we are spending half a
million dollars year, without asking
any permission TO do so, and what do
we get for it.
The budget discloses some startling
facts in connection with actual ex-
penditures, for instance the appropri-
alton tor parks Is $500, and the ex-
penditures are far in excess Of this
amount already.
That we have the mos extravaganza,
badly managed city government in
the country is plain to be seen by
comparing the cost with the result.
The people have only to fix in their
mind the sum total of our revenue
for this year, 1877, 572 90, TO under
stand the magnitude of the bill they
are called on to pay to run this city
machine.
And when their eyes rest on block
paved streets or macadam roads, to
remember that every foot of such
work has been done with money de-
rived from the sale of bonds, and not
included in the expense bill set forth
above.
And it must not he forgotten that
we have also the additional bill of

Ats o'clock yesterday morning Major
Mckinley was escorted from Briogepor0

nent Bridgeport Republicans, wnere ne
was conducted to the new department.
of the Etna mill. The crowd gathered
to hear the Majors speech has been
variously estimated from 300.to 5000,
a number placing the figures at LOCO:
Five hundred, including women and
children, is fair estimate OF
the crowd, $50 to 200 OF these
being voters. This was the opinion
of the majority of about twenty men
seen by REGISTER reporter. A plat
form had been built In the centre OF the
mill. An America flag was suspended
from above the stand. Hon. Il. L.
Brown, of Bridgeport, presided. Among
other things Major Mckinley said that
everything that could not be manufac-
tured in this country was put on tne
free list, and those articles we could
manufacture were protected by the
tariff bill: that it was favorite Demo-
cratic argument that the protective sys-
tenn put all the money in the hands
OF the few. This he answered by say
ing that in this country wealth was
more equally distributed than anywhere
else. He said that Gov. Campbell had
been telling people over the State that
tin plate could not be manufactured IN
this country. Picking up piece OF
tin plate from the platform he told them
that il wss made in the Etna mill. II
he was made Governor, he said, ne
would encourage such things. He said
that they could make sheet iron and
that that was 81 per cent. OF the manu-
facture. He said that this country
consumed half the tin plate
made in the world and asked why we
could not make it. He spoke of Car
fields visit to Etnaville twelve years
ago and OF his prophesy that if protec-
ton was triumphant a new mill would
be built there, and then said that there
was no more appropriate place
than in that new mill to make
Republican speech. The Major then
bid the men to vote straight, and eX-
planned the new system OF voting.
Three-quarters Of an hour was con-
sumed In the speech, and after it was
over an ovation was rendered him and
handsome peach blow vase was present
ed to him by Mr. Seamon, OF the Buck
eye Glass Company.
At 900 the Major boarded his special
train for New Lisbon.
