I To the Pdltorof lim Bin Pormlt mo to
I address a few words to the publlo with ro
I tard to the proposed submission to the voters ;
I at the spring election of the question of '
I issuing $150,000 in bonds for ino purpose of
5 erecting u now city hnll In this city I have 1
I bocu usklug the opinion of quito a number of [
6 promliuut cltizons and tixpayors on this
I Bubjcct , and in almost every enso they wcro
opposed In the measure bui expressed thorn
1 seh cs as of the opinion that there is hardly
j nnj use to light It , as an objector would ouly
i bo sot down ' old "
as nn fogy Now this is 1
, nil wrong , nnd 1 for ono thlnlc every ono '
should express himself freely on all ques 1
tlons of such hii-h importance as this ono to
ouriltizcns fo thcro are enough voters
I ' unvway who pay no taxes and who
j do not consldor such questions In
an } other light than that the spending of
nionej for publlo Improvements Is u good
thing whether noodad or not , and they will
j vote for it nn that account , not earing where
I the moncv is to como from I think that to
vote for the Issuing of these bonds at this
! present tmio would bo the height ot folly
for it would rousldornblv lncronsoour tnxa 1
tlon , which is ulrendv burdensome bojond J
the abilities of our citizens to boar Our
rc , ulai tuxes for the last two years have
been about 7 } pcrcoutand will bo for the
coming } our oulj about 11 { per cent less , the
1 lirldgotax having boon paid Now , who
I docs not thliiK that such taxation is onerous 1 ,
especially slnio nobodj doalcs that business
is dull times hard and money scarce , and
why plla on burdens moro and morel I do
I not think this is the way to build up our
I cltj On the contrary , it will only dls-
courage business inon nnd prevent outer *
4 prises from locating hero , of which I had
pructical proof a short time ago , when par
I ties who vvcro looking for a location , after
ascertaining the high taxation hero , decided
to loou furtbor
Now 1 will admit that the accommodations
for our city government are none of the best
, Just now , but I do bolievu that a few thou '
sand dollars ludlclously expended on the
present quarters would put thorn in condl
{ tlon to answer all reasonable wants for qutto
, , a number or } oars to come , and in flvo or ton
I years from now we would probably bo In a
hotter condition to erect a comfortable olty .
building 1 have board the opinion exorossed
that a line cltj building would be a good ad
vertlsement for our city I say yes , provided
J youaraablo to pay for it , otherwise to un-
S duly load down our citizens with taxation by
a It will create a drawback , as It will keep now
M comers avvuy front hero Now If wo must I
Hi load down with debts , lflt us do '
W It so as to get seine feood from
IK it I understand our sewer si stem
MB it incomplete , and In order to make j7
II complete will l-cqulro tne outlay of a oonsid- '
Mj orablo amount of mouoy No doubt the
W sow or question Is of vital importance to our
Hj city Let us look at it and see what it requires -
quires bofora wo rush into debt to build or-
j nameutal city buildings which do us no good
H and which wo can dispense with until wo are
K better able to pay for thorn , Even if we bad
e no building at all to accommodate our city
H olon , and bad the means at hand to erect ;
0 now building for them I , with a good
man } others think the amount ot f 150 000
asked for this purpose Is exorbitant , nnd for
less than half this amount wo should bo nblo
to provide a ere lltablo and suitable building
to do this cltv for scvoral generations to
como , nnd , also remember the cxponies to
the cltj for the care taking will incrcaso In
the sntno ratio as the cost of the building
In other words oxponslvo buildings , expenf

informed our indebtedness has already
reached the constitutional limit The only
way would probnbli bo to tncrcasoour vnlu

I do hope that orcrv voter having the vvel
faro of the city nt heart will vote No , and
Will lnduco every ono of his friends to vote
no on this proposition , which should never

Ulllfoiis
$ o0,000,000,0001 01 ill words , fifty bil
lions of dollars is the wealth of Great
Dntain , estimated by Knbcit GilTen
the English statistician and writer on
economic topics 11ns estimate gives

and Irolind $045
Comparing the three nchest 11 itions
of the world , ho gives the wealth poi

Gioat Diitnin , $1,450 IViuco , $ D : > 0 ,
and the United btatos $5UI )
If this sIiowb anything it shows the
utter fallncy and supreme follv of av
erages as applied to matters of this sort
By Gillon's computation tlioto ought to
bo nearlv three times as much abject
poverty in the United States lis In Great
Btltain , foi if the avoiago wealth per
capita is not a measuio of the compai-
ntive wealth of the people , nnd consequently
quently of their povot tj , it is not a
measure of anything , nnd yet every
schoolboy knows that the povoi ty of the
United btatos is not compiriblo with
Unit of Gtcat Biitain
In the city of London nlono , so s i\
English writers , there ate ncaily
2,000,000 people who nio nil the time on
the votgo of staivation In the t > uno
city lies the onoi mous lnndnd piopotty
of the Duke of Wosministor , who counts
his vvoalth by the millions , and yet Mi
GilTon talks about the poi capita wealth
of Great Britain as though it meant
something If ono man had it all , the
figures of per capita wealth would bo
the same for they are milvcd at by di
viding the sum total of the wealth by
the numbot of people
Again , Mr GilTon falls into a sciious
error in estimating the mass of the
vvoalth of Great Britain , nnd this , of
couiso , is tarried all the way through
his calculations lie includes nil the
investments of Btitish capital iihioad ,
ns though they were 11 substantial pmt
of the wealth of the Kingdom It is
obvious that all such investments should
bo enrried on a busponao account , for
they nro oxtiomolv uncertain A re
volution or two in South Amotion , an
attack by UusbIo on luikoy , a revolt in
Egypt , in fact almost any event of that
soit would wipe out n great portion of
what Mr Glllon conuidors a part of the
national wealth , and would teduco the
per capita distribution voiy considoi-
ublv
ublv.As
As n svipplomont to Glffon's figuios
there mav bo orosontod the cstimato of
the national wealth of the United btatos
compiled from the returns in the olllcos
of the tieiisurers of the several Btutos
This computation puts the wealth ot the
United States nt J01,450,000,000 , exclusive -
sivo of public property
A momont'a rolleotlon will show that
the excluded proportj , which embraces
the property owned bj the general government
ornmont nnd by Btnto , county mid city
govornmontB , nnd also the public do
main , cannot bo rntod at less than $10-
000,000,000 , bo it is entirely fair to ostl-
mate the wdalth ot the Unftod States at
$72,000,000,000 , in round numbers , or
nearly ouo-half moro than that of Gioat
Britain , as Mr GilTon estimates it
After till , though , the ronl wealth o
a nntion does not consist so much in
tnnglblo proportj as in the ability to
hold ita own in case of omortronoj The
rcsorvo force of n country , ita uudovol- I
