How much do the summer cottagers 
and boarders spend in New England 
every year? Between $50,000,000 
and $60,000,000. 
_ How much do the silver mines of the 
United States produce in a year? $38,- 
256, 400. 
The summer vacation business of 
New England is more valuable than all 
the silver mines of the country. That 
was a startling and significant fact de- 
veloped at the recent dinner of the 
Chicago business men to the members 
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. 
Ow1nc to Christmas Day falling on

tion will please take note and act accord- 
ingly. Get notices to this offices by

Every person in the United States 
would have $34.98 if the money in cir- 
culation on Dec. 1 were evenly divided. 
This is based on the Treasury’s estimate 
that the population of the United States 
is now 89,525,000. The monthly cir- 
culation statement by the Treasury De- 
partment shows that the general stock of 
money in the United States on Dec. 1, 
was $3,428,602,048 which is an increase 
of $712,935 since a month ago. Of 
this total there was in circulation $3,- 
131,310,934, an increase of $6,631,877 
over a month ago, and of $13,749,901 
over a year ago. ‘This is in striking 
contrast with the $816,266,721 in cir- 
culation on Jan. 1, 1879, for which 
comparative figures are given. The 
Treasury held as assets of the Govern- 
ment on Dec. 1 last, $297,291,114, 
which does not include the $35,952,787 
of deposits of public money in national 
bank depositories to the credit of the 
United States Treasury. Of the genera 
stock of money at present gold coin, in- 
cluding bullion in the Treasury, aggre- 
gates $1,644,906,223, standard silver 
dollars $564,294,719, subsidiary silver 
$161, 304,633, treasury notes of 1890, 
$3,982,000, United States notes $346,- 
681,016, and national bank notes $707,- 
433,457. 
From the tax figures filed by the dif- 
ferent cities and towns in the common- 
wealth Deputy Tax Commissioner Fales 
has compiled the following statistics as 
to the highest and lowest rates, etc. 
The highest tax rate in the state is in the 
town of Merrimac, Essex county, where 
it is $27. The lowest is $2.42, in the 
town of Gosnold, Dukes county. It 
ranges from-$3.70 to $9.50 in 13 towns, 
from $10 to $14.80 in one city and 89 
towns, from $15 to $19.80 in 24 cities 
and 149 towns, and from $20 to $25.50 
in eight cities and 68 towns. 
Manchester comes in the first class, 
the rate being $9.40, and is therefore 
among the fourteen towns in the state 
with a rate under $9.50. In this county 
the towns with a rate lower than Man- 
chester are Wenham $9.00, Boxford 
$8.00, Middleton $9.00. Nahant’s rate 
this year is $11.00.

We are pleased to think so many peo- 
ple have taken advantage of our combi- 
nation magazine offer with the BREEzE, 
and would suggest that those who are 
waiting until Christmas to make their 
choice should do so within the next day 
ortwo. ‘The magazines selected to club 
with the Breeze are the best published. 
It is understood, of course, that the price 
given in our advertisement on page-3 in- 
cludes all postage. 
Aside from this combination offer, we 
again call attention to the appropriateness 
of the BREEzE as a Christmas gift to some 
friend, far or near. ‘The BReEEzE in its 
weekly visits is a constant reminder of the 
beautiful North Shore and keeps one in 
touch with the spot which may have been 
at one time dear to one’s affections. 
The Breeze will be sent to any address 
in the United States, or possessions, post- 
age paid, for one year for $2.00. 
More than $10,000 was paid out by 
the state this year for damage done by 
wild deer. Returns from all over the 
state, particularly the western part, shows 
that the deer have been more trouble- 
some this year than in years previous and 
have caused no end of damage. ‘The 
last legislature appropriated $4500 for the 
purpose of remunerating those whose 
farms and crops have been damaged by 
the deer and the state auditor proposes to 
recommend to the incoming legislator 
that the appropriation for the following 
year be considerably increased. 
Deer are becoming quite numerous in 
Manchester and at other points along the 
North Shore. A week or so ago, early 
one morning, one was seen within 200 
yards of the Manchester Postofice. Last 
Friday a deer and a small doe attracted 
much attention grazing in the field near 
the Masconomo stables, on Smith’s 
Point. 
THE Socialist orator who advocates a 
four hour workday leaves it undeter- 
mined whether the morning or afternoon 
should be devoted to labor. “The morn- 
ing is well adapted to golf or tennis, but 
the afternoon is the time for baseball or 
football.
