Americans Lincoln Republicans
and issue greenbacks? Why uot' Don't al
speak at once.-Reform Press.
De Lone was sent home to old Spain Iii
hurry for calling Mckinley &C. oolcaster,' OF
small-bore politician. There ale plenty o. Re-
publicans in congress to-day who are saying
that Mckinley is poltroon and coward "a
spineless and spiritless, wiggling nouth-piece
grace to American manhood and a mere lick
spittlc for Spain. Star and Kansan.
Since the seat of our government was moved
from Washington. to London by the money
power quarter of century ago, with merely
few agents in Wall street and at Washington
to look at the petty details, the United States
has become, practically and financially speak
ing, a dependency of Great Britain and the for
eign money power.-New Deal, Sheridan, ,Wyo.
The tariff was passed for the specific purpose
of increasing wages and opening mills. The
cotton schedule was praised as the most "scien-
tihc" protective tariff schedule ever devised
Yet, within six months, wages came tumbling
down in the very industry which has the most
perfect protection. What all illustration of the
false principle CT political economy that the
protective doctrine rests upon! 1t is an object
lesson to workingmen everywhere of the ina
bility of protection to protect.-Quincy (Ill.)
Journal.

Mckinley says "wat," the bond-h say
"wait," Hanna says "No cause for war;
Reed, Rothschild & Co. say "wait." What is
life compared with bonds?-Nevada Director.
Mckinley is willing to 60 down and fight
Gomez, if necessary to save j. Pierpont Nor
gans investments in that island We would
like to see our modern Napoleon go against
Gomez Just once. Gomez is true-b!ue and
there is not streak of yellow in him. He has
fought like tiger for freedom, and American
people should rise up et masse and say to him:
No edict of William Mckinley, alias Mark
Hanna, need scare you. Americans will fight
for Gomez before they will fight fer ]. Pierront
Morgan. If this be treason, let her 90, Gala
gher.-New Road.
The New England holders of Cuban invest
ments pulled the string, and Mckinney RESPOND
et.. Would to God manhood and patriotism
could get as ready response We have not
believed very much in war. We cannot make
ourselves believe now that the killing of man
kind is good thing. The only reason we
have for favorng it at all is because there is
war already upon us--a war that is killing
more people than genuine war with foreign
nation would or could. The spirit Of allowing
the sheriff of Hazelton to shoot down strikers,
the spirit that allowed Spain to blow the Maine
into eternity, the spirit that allows Carnegie to
get uo Homestead fights, the spirit that subverts
our laws and permits corporations to murder
our people by reason of inadequate machinery
anu llIe-SdVlhS uSNiCeS, 10 d WailikS anu HluT-
derous spirit that means death and destruction
to not only American people but the republic
as we'll. The cowardy, sneaking message sent
in by Mckinley made us believe congress would
take the matter into its own hands and declare
war on Spain-at cny rate, drive Spain out of
American waters. Better this be done than to
carry on our old scheme Of numbering our own
people.-New Road
