RONALD'S FIGURES.

Candidate Ronald made speech to his
fellow-citizens of the Second ward on
Wednesday night. He talked to neigh
Mr.. Ronald told them was the truth.
Most of them take little active interest in
the details of city government-it is
ward consisting mainly of intelligent men,
who earn their living by commercial pur-
suits, and are nearly all property-owners
themselves, owning the pretty, comfort
able homes which characterize that pros
porous ward.
Mr.. Ronald told these gentlemen that
"the public debt of the city last year has
increased from $400, 900 to $3,00O,O00."
The truth is that the entire city debt is
today, including every dollar, 81, 1877 ,O96. so,
according to the sworn statement of the
city comptroller. On January 1, 1891, it
was s., 038, 2S3.
The reason it is proportionately less Is
because the taxes have been used in pay.
ing for part of the debts contracted in
1889 and 1890.
Mr.. Ronald also said: "The city of San
Francisco with $4,000 population has
not today the bonded indebtedness
of Seattle with but $1,000" Mr..
Ronald intended his hearers to believe
this. Yet, as matter of fact, the in
debtedness of San Francisco including
the debt of the water company, is Sl7,s0l,-
coo. 1t is true that the city of San Fran
cisco does not own its own water-works,
but in order to make a fair comparison of
debts with Seattle. which does, the debt
of the water company should be added to
that of the city.
Mr.. Ronald failed to tell his hearers that
the sewers of San Francisco are not paid
for out of the city funds, but are charged
against the abu:ting property.
Mr.. Ronald did not tell his hearers that
when the population and property valua-
ton of San Francisco were the same as
Seattle's are now, the tax levy was IS. 20
mills. and that when il had still increased
TO $l13, 80, $40 it was paying $3.50 mills.
Mr.. Ronald did not tell his hearers that
although San Francisco has no water
works and no sewers 10 pay for as a city,
its revenue amounted to S4,6l5,o74, equal
to tax on the city of Seattle of Is mills
instead of41a.
Mr.. Ronald did not tell his hearers
most of whom own property worth So, 900
that if the government had been run by
what Mr.. Ronald calls 1.-THE Democratic
ring" every one of his audience must
have paid taxes this year, not of $3.50,
but of SIS.
Mr.. Ronald, as an honest man and a
reform" candidate, should not make
such efforts TO mislead and misinform
his hearers.

TEE PRICE OF wool.

The Democratic argument" for free
wool is that it will benefit the manu-
facturer. and by enabling him to buy
more of the home product, will also benc-
fit the farmer.
This argument" is easily upset, for the
ranufacturer cannot be benefited unless
no oets his wool cheaper, and if he pays
less to the farmer for his wool how is the
farmer to be benefited. When the Demo-
cratic eyangelists from the East spoke in
washington and Oregon last summer,
CONGRESSMAN Bynum, of Indiana, was
never weary of declaring that the farmer
IA srfared under the Mckinley tariff
because wool had gone down IN price.

The Few Thoughtful

Demonstration.

ME great majority demand practical
l. results. This problem is solved
only by the Histogenetic System
of Medicine. The philosophical mind IN
stantly grasps the theory. and the others,
if they but for a moment dismiss their
childish prejudices, cannot help but ad-
nit that while the size and shape of their
heads precludes the theoretical solution,
they cannot help noticing the practical
success.
