While Dfschargfnx His Duty He

May Lose the sight OF one Eye.
Few, If any of the taxpayers of the city
realize the danger which the members of
the police department encounter In the
performance Of their duties during the
night season, while trying the back doors
of stores and residences In the various por-
lions of the city. In many instances the
approaches to the rear door ways are OBJ
structed by rubbish, etc., through which
the officers have often to pillow their way to
the rear doorwsys. Occasionally an acci.
dent happens, and 1t is wonderful In view
of the facts that these do not occur more
frequently. The latest and most serious
accident occurred early yesterday morn
ing.
Shortly after O'Clock yesterday morn
ing Offcer Jerry McGrsth, one of the most
efasient and popular officers In the police
department, while trying the doors In the
rear of the Kenwick house and adjacent
stores, slipped on some of the rubbish and
falling forward struck his left eye against

IL severed Il from the face, and also tore
q portion of the scalp. He was taken to
DR.. Gaynor's Office, where 1t was ascer-
tanned that the eyelid was lascersted and
the eyeball had also sustained q superficial
scratch. DIR. Bissell was summoned and
the wounded mans injuries treated, after
which he was taken 10 his home on Nash
street. 1t is possible that as Q result
of the injury McGrsth may lose the sight
of his eye, but the physicians hope to save

reading hereafter may bring out to us
in clearer outline his meaning. He
thinks the tariff must be considered,
but not until silver is disposed of. Last
year 1t was the tariff, the unconstitu
Clonal tariff, the vile, robber tariff, the
INFAMOUS money devil tariff that was
the enemy and the ruiner and oppressor
of the country. So we all said. and so
the Messenger says now and fully be-
lieves. But presto change, it is now
the Sherman law, the miserable, out
rageOus Sherman law, the villainous,
ruinous Sherman law that for three
years has ruined the country and
paralxzed all industries, and that is
the enemy that DR.. Cleveland physics
and asks the Democrats to help to kill
that the country, the sick patient, may
recover. Wilmington Messenger.
While both parties are earnestly urg-
ing the repeal of the Sherman law,
their reasons are as opposite as the
poles. The Republicans would repeal
1T because its repeal, unless followed by
the conditions of the Democratic plat
form, would bring the country to gold
monOmetal1sm, a sy stem which would
increase the value of money, which the
money lenders and gold sharks of the

banking syndicates to perpetuate itself
by compelling the issue of bonds to
secure gold. The Democrats, on the
other hand, would repeal it as a cow
ardly makeshift, because it stands in
the way of the restoration of silver
to our currency as a monetary stan
dard. Mr.. Cleveland's message favors
and endorses the Republican policy of
repeal, and entirely ignores the Demo
cratic policy. If he is right, the Demo
cratic party is wrong, and has been
wrong for twenty years. If he is right,
John Sherman and his Republican col,
leagues are right and it is eminently
fitting that that rampant force bill
champion and gold ponometalist,
Henry Cabot Lodge, should, as he did,
assume charge of the message in the
Senate and move its reference to a com
mittee with instructions. The duty
of Democrats in Congress is plain and
easy. They are not in a position to
ignore the Democratic policy put forth
in the Democratic platform. m.-AtlUnt0

HON. z. B. VANCE, A PATRIOT.

Mr.. EDITOR: After reading careful
ly Senator Vance's first letter as to the
object of the gold bugs in forcing the
call of an extraordinary session of Con
gress, for the purpose Of increasing the
eUils of the ''ricb n1G1a's paroic," at
once said that Hon. z B. Vance was
not only right, but that he was honest
and true to the people, and that he
can be trusted. If had entertained
doubt as to his honest purpose to save
his country for his country's greatest
good true statesman and an honest
patriot-that doubt would have van
ished after reading his second letter
addressed to J. P. Caldwell, Esq,
under date Of the 27Ch ult. Permit me
to quote his closing paragraph:
II am squarely on the Democratic
platform; want all its pledges kept,
those which favor the people as well
as those desired by the bankers and
brokers. If the refusal to serve them
first without some guaranty that the
people shall participate also, puts me
out of the Democratic party. You
will my dear sir, if you live a few
months longer, see the greater part of
that party deliberately walk out of it
self, leaving nothing behind but
smell of birthstone and Wall street.
When a man has the courage and
moral backbone to speak out as this
patriot has done and with his closing
words speak of birthstone and Wall
street, q can but feel that Wall streets
living men are closely allied to brim-
stone lake -State), then for one I am,
with our Senator, until he acts the part
of Judas and the traitor Benedict Ar
mold.
This is no time for political towards
or gold bug slaves in Congress or in the
white house, but all the same they are
there and will show their hand on and
after the 7th day of August, 1893, and
that hand will be against the wealth
producers of this great country but
all the same, God will rule and our
country will come out az y time all
right-the gold bugs, with closed wings,
shorn of their power. PLOw BOY.

ON HONORING L. L. POLK.

Mrs. Marion Todd, of Michigan,
makes this eloquent plea:
do not appeal to the rich, for they
are drunk on the blood of the people.
I do not appeal to the very poor, for
they are chloroformed by poverty. I
do not appeal to the pulpits, for they
are busy saving souls. I dot not appeal
to the newspapers, for the demon of
circulation has them by the throats.
But I do appeal to every honest man
ar woman who has the welfare of the
human race at heart. I appeal to them
to glorify our dead leader, who is look
inc down from heaven, by following in
his footsteps, taking up the burden ne
laid down, and going forward with it
until the emancipation of the nation
testifes to honor L. L. Polk.-SS"a

RALEIGH. N. @. AUGUST %, 1898.

no compunction of conscience in that
matter. The East would only be re-
turning some small portion of the
amount they have plundered us of.
10 produce that amount of sugar it
would require about seven hundred
factories costing each $5OO,OOO, or
$3.50, OOO,O for the manufacture of
beet sugar alone. Cane could be profit
ably raised in most of the Southern
States, but beet sugar in all of the
Western and Southern States. Each
factory would consume daily five hun.
dreds tons of beets, eighty tons of coal,
| sixty tons of coke, eighty tons of lime
stone, and would turn out about sixtv-
five tons of refined sugar per day for
the campaign say of one hundred and
fifty days. In the producing of the
beets. mining the coal, mining and
burning the limestone, burning the
coke, hauling the beets to market, and
various other occupations, each factory
would employ thirteen thousand peo
sand people or a total of 8, 100, 600. It
would take five thousand acres of
ground to furnish beets for each fac
tory, or total of three million, five
hundred thousand acres of ground.
Suppose the land averaged $50 per acre
(and this industry would certainly
double the value of lands) it would in
crease the table wealth of the country
$1O5, ,O00,0 00J. In the old countries land
is worth from $500 to 5000 per acre
and it costs at least $25 each year to
fertilize it, and the sugar yield is
but - per cent, while in this country
it will average II per cent.
There is no reason why the United
States should not only produce the
$165, ,OOO,OOO worth of sugar we now
consume, but also 100000 tons for
export, and instead of sending out
$165, 600, 900 we would keep that at
home and receive a like amount from
foreign countries, aggregating $780,,
100000. That would be quite a sum
to place to the credit of our exchanges
each year, and add to that the 81, ,25O,-
000,O which our crops are decreased
in value each year, by the gold lords,
we would have total of 81, $50, 900, 900.
II that were added to our present trade
balances, we would hear nothing more
about gold going abroad; the trouble
woule be to get the gold out of this coun
try so that the foreign countries would
nave something with which to buy our
bread stuffs and cotton and the 81, $780,
600, 0C00 added each year to the volume
of money would give our increase in
population, which is three millions an
nually, $50 per capita, which is about
what they should have.
Now, if you will restore silver, you
will add probably $25, ,OOO 600 to the
gold product and $50, 900, 900 to the sill
yer product, making the total product
of gold and silver in this country $780,
600, 900. This would go long way to-
wards forming a basis for circulating
medium.
Instead, therefore, of Restricting Jour
energies and capabilities for prosperity
by decreasing your crops, suppose you
try the experiment I have suggested,
and see if high prices and prosperity
cannot be attained,
Very truly yours,

The Slaughter Of Birds.

The wearing of birds feathers on fe-
male headgear Is 50 common that but
few, probably, realize the immense
slaughter of the bird tribes which 1t
necessitates for meeting the demands of
fashion. An idea of the great extent of
this destruction may be derived from
the fact that one dealer in London is
said to have received in a single con-
signment $4,000 dead humming birds.
$4,000 aquatic birds and SOC, 900 pairs of
wings, which latter are often wrenched
off during life, leaving the mangled
birds to die slowly of wounds and star
vation. The above was only one ship
ment to the city Of London, and when the
other great capitals of Europe, as we'll
as those in the two Americas, are taken
into account it becomes apparent
that the destruction Of bird life, simply
to crafty human vanity. is enormous
Such a barbarous custom is discredit-
able to civilization.
