dacy as presidential elector in 1864 against
Abraham Lincoln. Here is the Demo-

general" Stevenson believed and which
he supported:

The city comptroller has completed his
venort mon the estimates of income and
exnense for the city during the fiscal year,
beginning January /, 1893. The object is
10 guide the city council in determining
the tax levy to be made in September.
The entire expense is estimated at Soio'-
6q4Os. The income will consist OF licenses,
fines and fees, $l0S,672; of water rents.
$50 600. and such taxes as may be levied.
The amount to be made up By taxation, in-
cluding interest on the bonds, is Sill, soz.
A levy of 10 mills on valuation OF sif'-
100000 would yield $40, 900, but the char
ter requires that in addition to the levy
for current expenses there shall be spe-
cial levy of not less than mill or more
than 2 mills, to be devoted to the redue-
tion of the floating indebtedness.
If the assessed valuation for the year be
the same as last year, which seems prob
able, levy OF Ii mills or II mills will be
needed. The levy of last year, AZ mills,
cannot be considered in making COM
parison, as it was avowedly made for a
part of the year only. The levy the pre-
yious year was 10 mills and the year be-
fore Il mills.

A correspondent desires to know what
are the provisions of the Bland bill.
The Sherman law of July IA, 1890, pro-
vides for the purchase of 100000 ounces
of silver a month; 1t provides for the is
suance of treasury notes, each dollar of
which is based upon 100 cents worth of
silver.
The Bland bill now before congress re-
peals the existing Sherman act of 1890,
under which the government is buying
100000 ounces of silver month and
issuing coin notes thereon, and provides
that any person may bring any quantity
of silver to the minis and have it coined
into dollars at the measure of 412k grains,
nine-tenths fine, to the dollar, or receive
therefor paper notes redeemable In gold or
silver dollars at the option of the govern
msnt. Such dollars are to be legal ten
der for all debts.
This Bland bill substitutes for the linn
tted issuance of treasury coin notes, each
dollars worth of which is based upon 100
cents worth of silver, the unlimited issue
OF light silver dollar containing 4l21s
grains, worth today about 66 cents in the
general silver market. This Bland bill
provides for dollar worth about 81 cents
less than the gold in q gold dollar, and
enables anybody TO buy 66 cents worth oil
silver bullion, which he can then take to
the government minis and receive coin
or note, free of further cost, that he could
compel creditor to take as a dollar in
discharge of SO much of his claim.
The Bland silver note issued in exchange
for the 4l2ls grains of standard silver
(nine-tenths tnel is to say nothing about
silver on its face, but is made a .'co,n'
note, redeemshle in gold or silver at tn,
discretion of the government.
Given government with a limited
supply of gold, of course. everybody yhs
under the Bland bill had a coin dolia
note worth 66 cents would present it at tn
government treasury in order to get
gold dollar worth loo cents. If the govern
