formers tell the readers Of the ADvo
GATE how the people can afford to pay

er's bonds in advance in gold, why will
it bankrupt the government to furnish
it to the people at 2 per cent. or ap-
proved security and have no interest to

Don't say because the people cannot
give proper security, for they are doing
it every day, ss the bankers business
shows. Neither can you say the peoples
security fluctustss and the bankers
does not, for such is not the fact. Bonds
fluotusts daily and would only represent
the amount borrowed, while the peo-
Dle's security would represent at least
one-third more value than tht notes re-
ceived, giving a broad margin for fuC-
tustion, besides On insurance policy,
completely securing every dollar.
But why issue bonds while there re-
mains about S7O0,OOO,0OO in the United
States treasury in gold, silver and paper
currency, in addition to the power pos
sessed by congress Of issuing millions
more when required? Simply that the
rich be legislRted richer.
AS to the tariff question, we read daily
of the audiences given the representa-
tives Of the protective industries by the
democratic committee. The question ol
revenue only has been abandoned and
protection placed in its stead. Thus we
behold modern democracy not only de.
Tending the doctrines that they have al
ways denounced, but used every means
just and unjust, in an effort to mould
into laws these very doctrines. History
does not record such q complete politi-
cal somerssult performed by SO many
actors in 30 short time. One is forced
to believe that these political ringsters
have concluded that they bit of more
than they cen masticate, therefore seek
to cause their own defeat next fall, in
order to be relieved Of responsibility.
Then az Of old one can blame the other
and thereby more easily deceive the peo-
pie. These political incompetents may
thus fool the people and restore to par
tisl power the other twin, but instead l
think they will select men more practi-
cal and less professional, while the out
goers will bs branded "defcit," that
hereafter they will be known Of sll men.
In fact, believe the name democratic,
az applied to Grover Clsvelsnd's party,
should be changed to deficit.

The EOmergaulting DEMOCRACY.


had q person claimed that the demo
cratic party was in favor Of the national
banking system, the gold standard, the
bond issue, and protection, he would
have been declared uninformed as to the
isms taught by democracy, and truth
fully. No doubt his attention would
have been called to the fact that such
were the doctrines Of the republican
party, and the writings Of Jefferson and
jackson would have been drawn upon 10
show that democracy opposed these
tenets.
In fact, in disprovipg the above claim,
every newspaper, magazine or public
utterance emenstlng from the represent
atiYes Of the democratic party could
have been cited as a rule to prove that
democracy wss opposed to the national
bank, the single gold standard, or prOtec-
tion. In fact, the teachings Of the demo-
cratic party up to the election Of the
"StuEed Prophet" as is shown by the
party's last national platform, was yet Of
the olden type. But no sooner in pos
session Of the law-msking departments

The silver dollar Of the "dRddies" is dis.
owned by it's origiDstors and treated as
though of that "stuff that dreams are
made Of" At once it becomes in the
mouths Of noble democrats q dishonest
dollar, q 60 cent dollar, . worthless dol
lar that must be suppressed. The gold
coin only must be the dollar Of the
righteous, and none but the debased
will defend any other, at least in the
payment of debts to the lords Of the re-
public.
OF course silver coin, paper currency,
or even bank scrip is good enough for
the lsborer, who was once worthy Of his
hire" but for the gamblers that wRllow
in their illgotten gains such debased
stuff won't do, for "great is Diana Of the
EphesiRns."
And thus we behold democracy eating
it's own words as to finance. But not yet
satisfied, these great expounders Of true
democracy now rudderless, conclude that
notwithstanding the fact that there has
been more failures in business, more
deaths from starvation, and more people
trRmping the country seeking and not
finding work, than in any time during
the life Of the nation, that the people
are yet liable to become immoral, owing
to their prosperous condition, therefore
their secretary Of the treasury at once
proceeded to adopt another republican
doctrine for saving the people by issuing
5per cent. bonds. OF course the dear
people must be saved, and for fear that
the above remedy is not all sufficient in
preventing immortality from over pros
perity, these gods demand that the poor

STRAY SHOT HIT HIM.
It Is Believed a Policeman's Bullet
Killed Carberry.
Officer Had Fired Four Times to
Scare Stone-Yard Gang.
Police Puzzled by Conflicting Stories
Told 1hrm.

The mystery connected with the shoot
ing and killing of James Carberry was
partially solved this morning. when Il
was learned that at about 1890 o'clock
Saturday night, a policeman fired four
shots into the stone yard between East
Seventy-eighth and Eightieth streets,
east of Avenue A, in order to frighten
gang of men. that a seventeen-year-old
German boy said had robbed him.
1t was but short time later that
Carberry, with bullet in his back,
was taken to the home of Michael Sean
Ian in the tenement-house at 800 East
One Hundred and First street From
there he was taken to Harlem Hospital,
where he died at ll.20 o'clock.
All day yesterday detectives worked
on the case without getting clue to the
shooting, they claimed, and early this
morning, they alleged, they were still
puzzled by conflicting stories told by
Carberrys friends.
Carberry was about thirty years old
and lived at 442 East Seventy-eighth
street He was driver for the Street
Cleaning Department. The first ,khowl.
edge the police received of the shooting
came to patrolman who was called by
Seaman.
The Policeman lOunu tne "OuHueu man
on the kitchen floor, writhing In pain
and with blood dripping from his clothes.
His wife and another woman were
beside him. one of them told the police
Mclaughlin, and that two unknown
men had brought him in.
When taken TO the hospital Carherry
himself said his name was McLaugh-
lin. He subsequently told two detectives
that he had been drinking with Seaman,
and that after leaving him and while
walking in Ninety ninth street, between
First ana Second avenues, he was shot
in the back, and was afterward helped
to Scanlan's house by two men ne didn't
know.
and said Mrs. Carberry had requested
that the name Mclaughlin be given for
her husband. He said he thought she
knew something about the shooting,
Mrs. Carberry was then put under the
surveillance of policeman. Detectives
questioned her and others in the neigh
borhood, and then said they had learned
that the shooting took place In the ne

mounted policeman rode alongside.
II was apparent that the Company
was making efforts to start the cars
on the Ninth avenue line, but without
much success. Supt. Newkirk was told
by the Superintendent of the Ninth
avenue depot that the few men he had
had refused to take cars over the line.
They were afraid they would be as
saulted by strikers.
The depot at Ninth avenue and Twen-
tieth street is considered the most i'm
nortant, because four lines start from It..
Ten policemen were stationed there all
night. and this morning they were re-
inforced by a platoon of thirteen men
from the Adams street station.
At II o'clock this morning Atlantic

Supt. Newkirk said the men We're no

get back should apply singly and accept
the Company's terms. He expected a
number of them to do so.

About twenty new men had been ac-
cepted up to 9.30 Some OF them said
they had worked in Boston and other
cities.
The men assign several reasons for
refusing to purchase the new uniforms.
They say they have already purchased
two suits in ten months, and that the
wages they receive will not permit them
to buy third suit within year.
The order to purchase the new uni
fom is regarded as particularly hard on
the new men, some of whom do not

the Company deducting 81 per week
from their wages.
1t is also asserted by the men that
some OF the officials are making money
at their expense. AS evidence OF this
they point out that 800 new uniforms
were ordered by the Company and are
now at the Superintendent office. The
measure of none of the men was taken.
