MATT MYNOR'S VIEWS
 AAAA.~OF MR. M,kINLEY

ernment. MT. Mckinley was then can didate for the highest office in the gift of the American people. He believed his speeches would win him votes He cared not how he got them. He deceived the American people in making them believe that he was honest and sincere. His con- duct since his inauguration has proved that he was not only a dishonest man, but a liar as well. No man who has ever sat in the White House has been so com plete tool of the trusts and money power of this country as William Mckinley, of Ohio. He is not in friendship with the people. Insolent corporations have con- tributed money to make him what he is. He is owned body, soul and principle by the tyrannical and grasping power of money. He is not patriot. He Is not an honest man.
 He was elected upon a platform pledged to reform the currency system of the coun- try. If MT. Mckinley had been an honest man and dealing honestly with the Ameri- can people, lie would have made the att tempt to bring about such legislation upon the currency question as his party plat form pledged he would do.
 He had not been installed into his office ore week until he issued proclamation calling congress into Extraordinary session for the purpose of passing tariff bill for the express purpose of rewarding the man ufacturers who had contributed to his cleo ton and to heap punishment upon the plain people by extortiorate taxation for having refused to vote for him. There was not a word in his proclamation or in his message ito congress upon the subject of monetary reform. It is true Grover Cleve- tand did precisely the same thing after his inauguration in 1s93 He was elected upon a platform to revise the tariff, but he called congres in to extraordinary session for the purpose of revising the monetary system. Neither MT. Cleveland nor MT. Mckinley were honest men or officials in dealing with the people.
 President Mckinley is trimmer. He does not originate anything. He has never been known to do his own thinking. He is a mere machine in the hands of conspira- tors. The men who control him have less patriotsm than an Indian. Mir. Mckinley s political advisers are those who believe
  their express benefit and to put money in their own pockets, no matter whether hon estly or otherwise.
 The people who voted for Mckinley for president and who were honest in the be- lief that he would do something to carry into execution the principles enunciated in the partys platform, are doomed to sad, but positive disappointment. The business interest of the country, which can do as much, if not more, lying, than any other particular class has imagined that times have improved under MT. McKinleys ad- ministration. Such people have vivid imaginations. There are more people out of employment today than there were at the time when MT. Mckinley was elected almost two years ago. The people who toll have seen no evidence of prosperity. It is true a few mills have ben opened, but where one has been opened, the wages in fifty others have been reduced. MT. Me Kfnley from his famous front porch made the expression, 'the way to produce pros- perity is to open the mills and not the mints." It is true MT. Mckinley has no;
