Union Railroad Tax Vote In Board
OF Aldermen Last Year.


committee on finance relative TO the am
nual appropriation bill and the tax rate
for the fiscal year ending sept. 30, 1898.
The appropriation bills TO be recommended
will call for "A total, larger by over $780,
COO than 1t was year ago, in spite of the
fact that all the estimates from the de-
partments have been scaled down.
The recommendation Of more general
interest, however, will be that TO increase
the tax rate by another 90 cents on the
thousand
One year ago IL was increased from sl6
To Sl6 80, and at that time Alderman
Nichols of the finance committee adyo-
Gated an increase of dollar instead of
% cents on the thousand.
His argument Is that I'm the past the
city has never provided for sufficient in
come 90 meet the requirements of munic-
ipal growth with the inevitable increase
of expenditures.
A tax rate of 81. roper hundred will not
bring in enough TO meet the expenses but
the committee are of the opinion that the
Council would not consent To greater
increase and think that they had better
get little and then enforce IA more
rigid economy in all departments.
The total valuation last year was STA
232 800 and the tax income on that at the
rate OF SIG. 30 was 81, S74 S36. 25.
III the meantime tnefe mas Dccn Cd JVD,
600 added To the value of the real estate
of the city according 10 the records for 1896
in the office of Inspector of Buildings.
Probably not more than half of that
additional value will figure in the new
assessment so that for an estimate il is
safe to say that the total valuation TO tax
able property will be, in round numbers,
for the coming year, Sl76. 600, 600. The
income from that at the rate Of Sl7 on "A
$1,000 will be s., 992, 600. From all other
sources there is an income of about $780,
600.
This is of course, largely dependant
upon what agreement the Union Railroad
company and the city representatives
arrive at relative TO the rate of special tax
which the trolley company shall pay
annually for the second flve-year period Of
its franchise, ensuing July ], 1897.
At the present time it is three per cent.
and at that rate the tax paid by the cor
poration last year was S27, 22o. III.
The city wants five Per cent to bc the
rate for the next five years and at that rate,
figuring on the same basis, the income
from this source during the coming year
would be S45 315.

personal property in this city for the last

AHOME REMEDY
For the Cure of Colds and
La Grippe.

La erippe and Influenza, cold in the head or on
the lungs are not only distressing maladies,
but are very dangerous as well. Cold ON the
chest is an inflammation affecting the air pas
sages and vessels leading into and through ev-
cry portion of the lungs. The inflammation
may be so violent as TO cause death in a short
time if not quickly reduced, or it may linger
and drag as a bad cold of more or less severity.
What is true of a cold is equally true of la
grippe. Even a mild condition is liable to turn
quickly into acute pneumonia, or what is
worse, galloping consumption. The breath
ing tubes become so sensitive that the least
exposure, the ightest draught, change of
clothing, or of the weather. is sufficient to
cause fresh cold. terrible cough, pain and
fever. Cough is the foremost symptom, and it
may be harsh and dry, or loose and broken
with much expectoration. 1t IS always annoy
ing. keeping up a constant irritation and ex-
9itement in the sore and inhamed tubes. There
is pain and tenderness under the breastbone,
sometimes of a raw and tearing nature.
Hoarseness. huskiness, whispering or loss of
voice, chilly sensations, sore throat, aching
Joints and eatarrh of the head. As the dis
ease advances there are night sweats, hectic
fever. loss of flesh, splitting Of blood or hem
orrhage, and the patient has the appearance
and symptoms of consumption. The old way
of treating cold is too well known to need
any explanation here; the new wsy-the better
ways with Lightning Cough Drops. This
remedy is especially valuable in colds, la
grippe. influenza, coughs, hoarseness, tic. In
deed. for la grippe and Influenza it may truly
be said to be a specific, while for breaking a
cold or relieving hoarseness it is without an
equal.

Of the United States declared in the
last election that 1t was the duty of the
government to coin silver as well az
gold, and give relief from the scarcity
of money to the full extent which tho
unlimited coinage of both metals can
furnish. But we go further, and deny
that the goSernnpat is confined to
metals, or to paper, or to any other
commodity for material upon which to
stamp or print money. There is not
a civilized government in existence
which has not at sometime stamped or
printed on paper the law which made
it full legal tender money. This pro.
position was declared to be true in the
mixed money case three hundred years
ago, and it was also declared to be truo
by our own supreme court in the legal
tender cases. In view of these facts
who contends that the commodity gold
alone must be used for money, and
that the people must have no money il
the combination which has correred
that commodity will not let the gov,
eminent have it, are wrong. The
whole troubles the failure of the gov.
crnment to preforn its duty.
We ask what is the reason why the
government has failed to perform its
duty and furnish an adequate supply OF
money? The reason is that the same
men who have cornered the gold in the
world have control of the government
of the United States, and it is for their
interests to confne the money of the
world to the commodity which they
own or control, Why do the people
elect presidents who belong to the
gold combination? We answer because
the gold combination controls all the
money in the world, and can hire the
press, and any other invention which
can be used to spread or circulate lies
and deceive the people. Besides, when
they are not able to fool enough of the
people to make majority, they have
thus far succeeded in buying or intimi-
dating the required number to make it
possible to count a majority for the
gold trust.
What, then, is the remedy? We an
swer there is but one ready, and that
is the ballot. If the people would take
the matter into their own hands, and
tosee to it that their votes were counted,
they could elect president who does
not belong to the gold combination,
and who would not sell out to that
combination. Relief can come in no
other way. If the people will not do
this, times must grow harder and
harder, until barbarism takes the
place of the civilization of the nine.
teenth century. Silver Knight-Watch-

The official reports always give the
lie to the confidence operators among
the politicians and the commercial
agencies.
The monthly statement of the ex-
ports and imports of merchandise,
gold and silver from and to the United
States during February last, issued by
the bureau of statistics shows as fol-
lows:
Merchandise exported $40, 773, 39s.
Merchandise imported, $50, 1913, 1868 (of
which nearly 1913, 900, 900 was free of
duty.)
Gold exported, 1896, G07; gold import
ed, S544, 700; silver exported, "a, $50, 1862;
silver imported, S769,943.
As compared with February, 1896
this statement shows an increase of
about So, O7O, 900 in the value of mer-
chandise exported, and a decrease of
over So, $50, 900 in the amount import
ed For the eight months ending Feb
ruary 30, there was a gain of oversize.
900 in the amount of merchandise eX-
ported and Il decrease of nearly S110,-
900, 900 in the amount imported
Just think of it! The poverty of our
people forced us to increase oar "bar-
gain sales, over two million dollars.
and to buy three and a quarter mil

The figures also show tina we sold
$50, 900, 900 more of goods u foreign
countries in one month than be bought

California, claims to have discovered
u tree in that county which yields
product that will be satisfactory sub
stitute for iudia-rubber. The increas-

What the common people need is an

gold at the United States Treasury
and that the gold will buy beer in
England?
