Democratic Fiscal Policy.
H. T. Moore departed from the usual
line in his address, outlining fiscal
policy for the party. He referred to
the sinking fund plank in the platform
and explained it, stating that the Demo

about the results threatened by the
Republican system. At the present
time the Territory is $3,900,000 in debt,
borrowed money, which had been spent
to make the voters think the country
was prosperous. No provision had been
made to meet this indebtedness until
last session, when the Republicans had
passed sinking fund bill which re-
suited this year in $4,000 being set
aside.

to pay off our present debit stated
the speaker, "and in that time we will
have paid on it $S4, 100000 in interest.
The Democrats want to show you that
business can be done in business way,
not pile up a debt for our children Is
children to have to be paying on. The
Democrats believe in government in the
interests of the people, not In the in
terests of selected few so that the
bankers can reap $4,000 in interest
in one year"
