Mr.. Lodge said;
when the well known silver act of
1890 was passed the United States
government was issuing gold aud
silver, and it was normally a safe
system.
"When the Bland act was passed IL
was predicted that we should soon
reach silver basis. But we went on
twelve years and nothing or the kind
happeaed,
"We had in 1890 the Bland act turning
out 100000 silver dollars a month, and
the government issning silver certiii-
Gates TO 40 into circulation. There WA,
a pressure in 1890 that was tremendous.
IL we had not passed the act OF 1890
we should have bad free coinage.
1t was temporary expedient and
bad as it was it served great
purpose"
Then Mr.. Lodge told what the Bland
act had done, showed its purpose aud
continued;
'Then we substituted treasury notes
for silver certificates. and think we have
put more money into circula alton than we
can safely absorb. We have reached a
point where very great danger is threat

The way the young people crowd to

EXPENDED BY ASSESSOR

thus IL will be seen that the expense
oil collecting the poll tax of 1891 was
more than one-third of the total amount
collected and it is fair to suppos. that in
the collection OF the tax for 1892 the ex
pense VIII be proportionaly as great.
Then again the fact that tue assessors
make up this list partially from the
registry list deters many from re xistering
anu consequently many men deprive
themselves OF their franchise in order to
escap. the payment of the poll tax.
though IL would seem that any one could
spare 81 per year and not feel il. But it
seems as IL many deem il 81 spent for
which there is no return and there are no
doubt many assessed who cannot spare
even that small sum from their yearly
Income.
La some states the poll tax has been
abolished aud IT would seem that not
much is lost thereby so that such ac ton
by the state of Rhoie Island would not

that some OF the officials are in favor of
Its abolishment it would not be surpris.

THE POLL TAX,
The Annual Cost of the Collections and
the Small Returns.

Ihe Annual Cost of the Collections and
the Small Returns.
Whether the poll tax should be contin-
ued and whether the amount collected
from this source annually is sufficient to
compensate for the labor and expense
necessary to collect it are questions which
are brought prominently before the city
government each succeeding year.
There is no doubt that persons who are
not the owners OF properly. personal or
real, ought to contrbu something
toward the expenses of the municipality
but even IL IT were all collected as assessed
1T would not cut much of a figure in
those expenses. The amount assessed
the present year is something more than
$4,000 aud Of this amount about one
third must be deducted for shrinkage ON
account OF removals aud other causes
and the collections will probably amount
TO little more than Sl2.0jO all told.
The poll tax of 1891 was assessed for
about $4,000 and OF this amount, with
the assistance of postal cards, collectors
and deputy sheriffs S1l, 1874 was collected.
with abJut $500 additional from delin-
quents.
