by war, and his determination toover-
throw provisional republic and re-
establish mona chy. His message
threatens to rend his parry as badly
as did the repeal bill.
The Hawaiian matter exciteda little
curiosity, but no part Of the message
aroused the least enthusiasm, as would
have been the case if an American
President, supporting American inter
ests, had periodically pointed out
means OF relief for a suffering con-
stituency; but this. lombard street
lackey has merely transmitted his En-
glish message to his congressional hire
lings.
The message was cold, merci' ess and
cruel, and showed between the lines
the guilty conscience of bargained
soul
The Washington Test, in its Views
on the Message, says: "The general
feeling among men of both parties
was one of disappointment" This
session promises to be as profitable
for the east as the special was. Both
will prove destructive to the interests
of the west and south. The east is
delighted that Cleveland stays bought,
even though it is at the expense of his
perty.
One of the humiliatiug sDectacles
connected with the message is the fact
that it was cabled to England, set up
in type, published and extracts of it
cabled back to America, hours before
it was read to congress. Shame on
such servility that brushes the spirit
of &c and lowers the standard OF
Americanism by submitting STATE
documents to the English for approval,
and the exultation of their press over
the whole affair has not yet ceased.
Michael D. Harter, one Of Cleve.
lands henchmen, delivered an address
in Boston few days ago in which he
said: 81 think the Wilson bill will
pass the house promptly and with few
changes. 1t would not be very ex
travagant TO say the Wilson bill is
worth 81 ,00C, 900 day to the manu-
facturers and workingmen of the New
England and eastern ates. The fac
of the whole matter is that it is &
manufacturers tariff. The balance O.
the people will, of course, get some re
lief out OF it, veryconsiderable indeed
but the cream goes 10 the manufac
turers, ard largely to the manufac
turers of the east"
Well, my democratic friends in tn
south and west, how does this soun,
coming from enc of your leaders il
congress? Have you ever for momen
thought that you and your party wer
in it? If so, divest yourself of an
such delusion. Clev, land is just play
ing with you, and before his term @
Office expires all you will have LEI
will be your democratic tradition;
because Wall street will have tn
machinery and both wings Of the bui
zard party. Grover already has tn
trademark on the name and he an
Sherman shout in chorus, "What ar
you going to do about it?"
1t now comes to light that anon
the highly protected industries {
New York is wood-pulp syndicat
which Cleveland, Dan Lamont, w.
Whitney, Don Dickinson and othel
are running, 1t is significant that
Cleveland's new tariff bill he protec
the product of this syndicate to I'll
tune of 10 cents a pound. This wi
make it bonanza sufficient to rein
burse him for the cool hundred tho
sand he is reported to have lost viii
specializing in Chicago gas and ele
trio stocks in Wall street recent
Thus starving people are taxed
retrieve his lost fortune.
Cleveland now finds an opportunif
to retaliate upon Senator Morgan fl
daring to oppose the repeal bill |
placing coal upon the free list, whit
will be a blow to the industries
Alabama, but he has more than
match in Morgan, and the fight ms
result in placing that state solidly
the populist ranks.
Regarding the Hawaiian matte
His idiotic Hawaiian policy has nc
become an absurditv. His attempt
overthrow q recognized governme
and restore dissolute queen who
utterly unworthy to reign over t
natives, much less the white people
the islands is characteristic of
hog-headed unconstitutional methot
He has just as much right to ov
throw the French republic and restC
royalty there, as he has in Haws
1t now transpires that Liliuokals
refuses to be restored unless Gle
land will maintain the same force
keep her on the throne that it tai
70 put her there; and so Grover
fat becomes laughing stock for {
Speaking of Gresham, has it e.
