If we felt assured that the lesson
thus learned would he of benefit to the
fools who edit these papers we would
be content, but this will not be the
case. They have seen things go from
bad to worse during the last two years
under the administration which they
wanted. They have suggested one
remedy after another, and they know
most positively that the fault is in the
utter incompetency Of ,heir leaders
and of their party now, as it has been
in the past, to enact any legislation
that will benefit our American CONT

There is but one rcmedy-the utter
and complete overthrow of the party
which these papers represent and the
restoration to power of the party that
has. and eve has had, the welfare of
Americans and the prosperity of Amer
lean interests as the fundamental
principle of it's political policy. If the
editors of these four papers would
openly acknowledge their error by
working for the complete humiliation
of the party in which they formerly
protested to have confidence we would
respect them.
Will they do it? Or will they later
revert to their old policy Of clamoring
for destruction by continuing to write
lies and to publish lies for the benefit
of the foreign countries which may. or
may not, be buying up the editorial
columns of their papers, or which
may, perhaps, have some pecuniary
interest in their management which
prevents any advocacy of the re-enact-
ment of the Mckinley tariff. which
would mean the immediate restoration
to their proper value of all American
securities.
