Considerations for Tax-Payers.
To tht JUditor of The evening Telegraph:
Sir: It la neoesslty of our flnanoial situation
that some plan short Id be devised which may
satisfy the bondholder that bts bond will be
paid, and tbe people to at they can simply the
means without bankrupting themselves. We
ubmlt tbe following for consideration, tbrougb
wblcb we propose to pay tbe bondbolder bla
principal and 0 per cent. Interest la gold, at an
Interest charge of but little over 3 per cent, to
tbe tax-payer. Assuming our Interest-bearing
debt to be J2,00O,0O0,000, the Interest aocrulng
tbereon for a period ot 1 years, would be
$2,000,000,000. If, however, we could pay this
Interest In advance, $ 1000,000,000 would be suffl
elent, for tbe reason tbat the Investment of
thla sum for d years would produce $1,000,
000,000, and therefore such a payment would b
perfectly fairaad equitable to tbe bondholder.
No government, however, In the world oould
pay $l,COO,000,bbO at once; but It Is In tbe power
Of our Government to create an equivalent to
a cash payment, and to pay the $1,000,000,000 In
annual Instalments of 1125,000,000 during a
series of 8 years. We now pay $120,000,000 annu
ally for interest, making a total of $1,000,000,000
In t4 years, wulcu is repeated In tbe next SJfi
years.
To settle the Interest on $2,000,000,000 for 16
years would ri quire the following payments:

Totals $1,000,000,000 $270,000,000 $1,270,000,000
Here we find a saving to tbe tax-payer oi
$730,000,000 Interest, which the bondholder by
reinvesting his first $125,000 000 for years,
bis second for l years, aud so on through, tne
series receives by vl tueof such an Investment,
and at tbe same time Is treated equitably. The
lnt rest belngnow settled for 18 years, there re
main 8 years before the (ioverumeut would
be required to make auy pxynients upon the
principal, but If it Miould now choose to antici
pate $1,000,000,000 of that principal in annual
Instalmeuts of $125,000 000. 11 would be entitled
to en allowance ot interest for such prep ly
inents, which allowance, added to the $730 000,000
previously saved, would make a total savin of
neatly $1,100,000 000. At the laimlnaiionof 18
jeaisull the Interest and on'-'nlfof the prin
cipal of the debt being paid, we would have
two-thirds of a yenr left, which would give m
ample time to create u new loan, at a rmre
favorable rate of interest, to pay the remaining
$l,(co ooo ooo.
To etlect this arrangement the Government
might pay the bondholder $1,00,1,000,000 of in
terest bonds, redeemable at the limes, and sub
ject to Interest in accordance Willi tbe plan, we
liave already exhibited. That these bonds
would be equivalent to oaRh is obvloun, for the
Tear on thai the iuterest paid on them yields the
service of rush until they become cash in fact,
find when they do become) cash in fact, the Iu
terest upon this cash reinvented, together with
tbat which was paid for temnorary credit,
amounts to the same sum as would be paid in a
period of Wjt years by our pienent method.
It will be' observed that the heaviest pay
ments occur ut the hegiuulug aud gradually
ilimlulNh throughout the series. As we
ate already heavily taxed, some may
ilmitit niif abllllv to irovlde for itiia
immediate additlou to our burdens. The ad
vantages to be pained, however, are so great
tbiil it Is woith the effort to accomplish. We
r elieve no increase oi taxes wouM be require 1,
provided tbe Government cuts olf many of its
useless expenditores. There ure two ways,
bowever, by which this objection may be met:
The first resting upon the ueiiel that the people
cun bear their present taxatlou, and even more,
il the business Interests or the country be deve
loped to the highest stsge of prosperity. Tue
proposed plan, by freeing capital, forties busi
ness activity. Tne people havlcgfurnisned the
bondholder the moans by which he cn make
bis Interest, luslead of retaining Ibis meaus
end making it themselves for bltn.
now have bis assistance, and so much time as
WDUIU US lUHu 1U huijuiiiuk ,uo lumLonviui uiui
Is saved to them for other pursuits, while be
becomes a producer of wealtu to the extent of
the time they have gained. This addition to
the productive resources of tbe country should
beat least equal in value to the sum of our
piesent taxes. The other objection, resting
upon the Idea of Inability to bear our present
taxation, and therefore favoring a reduction,
Involves tbe necessity of providing for tbe first
heavy payments by a loau maturing when our
payments are the lightest, which would be Just,
alter our interest bonds were set tied, and wnen
we were about to pay the first Instalment on the
firlnclpalof thedeot. That Instalment, amount
ngto $125 000,000, would be paid by lis present
worth, a fraction over $83,000,000; the second
by less than $90,000,000, the amounts gradually
increasing to tbe end ol tbe period. We might,
therefore, borrow $200 OKO.000 lu gold, payable in
twelve years, with interest, and use the gains
from our discounts to liquidate it at maturity.
This form, bowever, on account of the interest
on tbe twelve year loan, would reduce the
savings on taxation to about $85(1.000 000. We,
bowever, prefer the first method, partly on
account of Its greater saving, and partly be
cause It prevents the Government from hoard
lug from $f0.000 000 to $10i,000.000 ot gold,
and also prevents it from selling gold,
aa it baa already done to the extent
of $75,000,000, by which act the people
have bad taken from then over $30,000,000 of
their earniL-gs in a manner not recognized by
any of our laws for the collection of taxes. The
plan we bave presented tends to a return to
speole payments through the establishment of
tbe necessary condition by natural causes,
without the Interposition of legislation. Tbe
employment of I he gold now held by tbe Gov
ernment would tbrow so much more upon tbe
market to be carried, ana, to the extent of the
quantity tbus thrown, make it more dltlloult
for speculators to control, so that legal-tenders
wonld command it at a less discount ttmn t hey
now do. Tue volume of the legal-tenders oould
also be reduced without contracting the active
currency. The national bunks being compelled
to bold a portion of this currency us a reserve,
so much as is thus reserved Is contraction
already accomplished; but so Ur us redemption
is concerned, tuese reasons delay tbe process In
tbe proportion their amount bears to the whole
amount outstanuiog.
Therefore, when tne Government pays the
banks their share of the itrerest bonds, it
might authorize tbe substitution of these
bonds in place of the lcgiil. tenders, and re
tire tbe latter as fast as it ucqulred tbe meaus
to do so. Tbiscouid be done by canoriuuK suuu
legal-tenders as the Oovernmbut would reoeive
at any given time, and authorizing the banks
to IKsne a line amount, oi uiuir reserves, aua
so continue the pioce&s until the whole were
cancelled.
Tbus we would introduce the precedent con
dltlons for resumption more eti'eoilvely than
could be doue by uny aoi of legislation wbloh
ignores these conditio us. Finally, whether the
Plan we nave suu;"uiea suouiu do .accepted
In tbe form presented, or modified to meet
nointa where it might not prove feasible, or an
entirely new one be adopted. It is a necessity of
our financial situation to create some plan
covering the whole question of payments in all
iia nurts. even though such plan were defective
in many points, aa the people, when they knew

their affairs to the situation, aud. working as
a unit in this direction, carry the whole matter
i nrnnih more eflVotlvely than could be done by
a variety of plans, perfect lu themselves, but
tot possessing tbe essential attributes oi unity,

Acting Chief ot foltce ClarK, aud weie opeued.
Iu the latter there was no list of taxables, but
ail the other papers weie found in it, and
otitred in evidence. In the former all the
papers were found, and also offered in evi len'0.
To the oath of tbe officer tnere is no swoin
superscription or jurat attached.
Recorder Given then tesiinea mat there was
no probability ot auybidy but the Mayor or
blmselt having access tu tnese boxes in tne vault;
on ihe night of tbe October election me vault
was empty ; be went Into it at about bait-past
eight In the evening; was thete when the Mrst
boxes came in and remained tnere until an oi
them came in: nobody could have doue any
thing to the boxes tbat night witnout witness see
ing him; tbe vault was opened next day by
witLess and the Chief of Police, representing
the Mayor, to take in boxes of the Twenty
suth aud 0E6 o herof the upper wards, out
which he lotgot. Tbe vault was thcu made
secure by witness, who kept possession of the
keys ot tbe inner door. On an order lrom the
Court ot Common Pleas, about three weeks
ago, Acting Chief of Police Clark, representing
the Mayor, and witues, entered tbe vault, took
ite large and only box ot the Filth precinctot
the Twentieth ward into court, and returned it
npa n; the vault was then locked, and had not
been opened since until yesterday ; the keys of
the inuer uocr had been in witness' possession
ever since tbe election; tbe door has always
been opened and closed by witness; the lock has
not been tampered with.
Cioss-examiued There is nothing spec'al
about thete boxes that attracts my atteution;
the boxes are all alike, and it one or two were
icken out and replaced, I ot course could not
tell it; cannot say how many keys tbe Mayor
has for the outer door; tbe key tor that door
will not unlock the inner door; I have kept
these keys banging in my desi ever tijee
election.
Thomas B. Reeves recalled There was no list
of taxables of the Sixth division of tbe Seven
teenth ward tiiea in the office of tbe Prottiouo
lary of the Court of Common Pleas; with the
exception ot tbe Judge's returns, the following
are all tbe papers that are Bled from that divi
sion in the office, viz : The list of voters,
houily leturns, oaths of officers, the return ot
votes for each officer voted lor, and a tally list
ot voters.
Mr. lfawle, for contestant?, said: All the
papers except tbe return ot votes lor the offices
not now iu dispute 1 otter in evidence. The
votes In tbe Sixth precinct of the Seventeenth
waid were as follows:-Mayor Fox, 4G0; Tyn-
dale, 66; City Solicitor Barter, 59;Worratl,
fi7: Receivcr'of Taxes-Melloy, 45tf; Peltz, 67;
City Commissioner Weaver, 460; McCuen, 56;
City Controller Getz, 459; Hancock, 67; Pro
thonotary of Common Picas FMch r, 406;
Donapau, 67; District Attorney Sheppard, 40(i;
Gibbons, t7. The total list of voters ot that
division was but 615, whereas the return frr the
Piothonotary of the Court of Common Pleas
and District Attorney is 623, and lor all the
others 61C. On the list tbere are two numbered
128, making a difference of one vote in the excess
ot those recorded.
Mr. Gerbatt called the attention of the Ex
Hminers to the fact that ou the tally list of tbe
Sixth division ot tbe Seventeenth ward there is
a mistake in addng up the tally for tbe ninth
hour, whereby the vote tor Furmau Sheppard
is added up 23 votes instead ot 18, and tbat
the same mistake is made in the same list
and the same hour ia tbe tally for Albert W.
r-h tcuer,
Mr. Reeves cross-examined I am prepared to
Fay tbat nolist oi taxables was bled in the Stxtli
division of tbe Seventeenth ward; there was no
list of trxables Bled by mi.-dalie among any ot
the papers of the October election in the office
of the l'rotbonotary.

In tbe erection of this oulldkig, which la 20 by 11
feet. The main hall Is 56 feet high. It Is confidently
expected that the Hlnk will be ready fur use on
Christmas Day.
Each share of stock will be entitled to an advance
dividend, payable yearly, of twenty per cent. (990) In
ticket. Buch dividends may be taken In single,
season, or coupon tickets, which are transferable.
Regarding the success of the project there can be
no donbt, as tbe building is Intended for a public

I'onroriN, Church Fairs, Fentlvala, Con-
TCiitioun, Agricultural Exhibition, etc.
It is understood that numerous Insulations of a
similar character in various parts of the country have
been quite remunerative, and itl a confidently believed
