TWEED RING <<GRAFT."
Two Hundred Millions It's Direct and
Indirect Cost to New York

Two Hundred Millions It's Direct and
Indirect Cost to New York.
The new courthouse was still far
from complete and miserably fur
nished, yet it had already resulted In
the neat outlay of $11,OOO,OOO, when
the most liberal estimate placed its
value, finished and luxuriously fur
nished, at less than $3,O0O,OO0.
A few items will be sufficient to
show the scale upon which the ring
had conducted it's financial policy:
Forty odd chairs and three tables
had record value of $179, 1850.
A charge for repairing fixtures.
through J. h Keyser & Co, was ST.
las, S745O-
Thermometers, 81 800.
Another charge for furniture, through
Ingersoll & Co., $24O, 564.63.
A single item Of stationery was set
down at $1S6, 1861. What, in leaven's
name, could the 81 cents have paid
for with stationery bought at ring
rates?
Then there were carpets, shades and
curtains, also supplied by that marvel
GUS firm, Ingersoll & Co., at the fairly
comfortable figure q $675, 534.44. Nor
must we overlook one G. S. Miller, q
carpenter, who was set down as hav-
ing received $3.50, TAT. 81 for one months
work.
But Garvey, Andrew J. Garvey, the
plasterer! Generations of plasterers
yet unborn will take off their hats to
his memory! Two million eight hun
dred and seventy thousand four hun
dred and sixty-four dollars and six
cents had he earned at his humble
trade in the brief period Of nine
months.
1t is unnecessary to 60 further into
the details Of this monster and, mon
srous fraud; $5,663,246S3 had been
paid through the single firm" Of In
gersoll & Co.
Matthew ]. O'Rourke, who since that
time made careful study Of the city's
finances, states that, counting the vast
issues Of fraudulent bonds, the swim
ding Of the city by wealthy tax dodg-
ers, by franchises and favors granted,
by blackmail and extortion, the total
amount Of the city's loss through the
Tweed ring stands at not less than
$2OO, OOO, 00O.-Pearson's Weekly.

MAKE LABoRERs THE EMPLOYERS.

discussed yesterday by DR.. Felix Adler before tho

The point is" said he do we desire that there
should be q struggle7 Do we desire that the wage
Garner should struggle. do we want TO see him
contented? Do wish them to remain con-
tented? Are IN sympathy with what Is called

places and we In ours? Do We hold our position
through merit talent or luck. and II others mad
had the Same advantages, would they be IN our
places? Ought to allow these men 10 go on
struggling? Shall the sentimental or moral mo-
tive prevail? The sentimental takes uIIloraSe a.
the sufferings Of the masses; the moral view IS
stronger, and takes umbrage at their deSradatioII

DR. Adler said regarding the contention that
only the actual laboring man gave value 20 Ihe
products of his hand. that the employer with hiS

would like to see labor make the exper1ment-pur-

unions powerful enough TO do So 1t would de-
terniue who the parasite.
The term labor leader" said Dr.. Adler, to-day
almost carries with it reproach. and the Idea IS
abroad that the walking delegate Is necessarily
corrupt The reproach has been caused BY such
men as Sam Parks dying in cell
