  • Hollander's 1901 receipt places contribution and revenue rules inside the new post-1898 governing system.
  • The episode keeps the claim narrow: taxes, assessment, credit, and revenue administration shaped who could wait, pay, and endure.
  • The receipt belongs beside currency, credit, mortgages, land, and sugar as part of a broader power system.
