English American Alliance.

English American Alliance.
There is small doubt that our
Mckinley Administration will get
us into trouble with foreign ma
tions, and very likely war Euro
pean nations will not longer sub
nit to England's grasping policy
and aggressions. Russia and
France are even now preparing to
put a stop to her conquests. Ger
many at present is trying to keep
neutral, notwithstanding the Ger
man people almost unanimously
bitterly oppose the English. The
German Emperor may hesitate,
but he, too, will be drawn into it,
when he knows that he has nothing
to lear from Russia and France.
He will carefully watch his oppor
tunities, but he is certainly no
friend of England. II his interests
are not injured, he will hardly
come to the rescue Of England, and
will have no objection II the Eng
lish aggressive and selfish power
IS somewhat curbed. A general
war is no impossibilitY.
II the United States had followed
Washington's advice and kept out
Of all entanglements with foreign
nations, we would now be free
from those threatening wars. No
one would have dared to attack US,
for all need our products whilst
they are fighting, and the United
States would have enormously en-.
riched themselves. No large fleets
and no large armies would then
have been necessary, peace and
prosperity would have blessed this
country, and it would have re-
NAMED the Gland of the tree" Un-
fortunately we have forgotten the
wise counsel of Washington. We
wanted TO be a worlds power" in
the same sense as England.
Instead Of following Wishing
ton. we have permitted England
to lead US away from the old posi-
ton. She has induced the Nc
KinleY Administration to become
her ally. We will be involved in
all the wars in which England may
be engaged. The Philippine ISL
ands' expansion policy has placed
US in the position which will force
US to side with England, who will
manage to bring s into her wars,
because she wants our aid. AL
ready the United States are pre-
pairing to get ready. We have
now 38 ships of war in the East.
The Southern fleet, which is being
collected, is to be ready to assist
England, if the English should be
opposed in their unjust and out
rageous policy against the African
Republic. That is the sole cause
for the accumulation Of war ships.
We do not need them against the
Filipinos nor against the Beers.
They are there tor the purpose, il
Mckinley remains in power. Of
helping the English.
Thus we are on the road to be
drawn into big wars and to lavishly
spend our money and shed the
blood OF our soldiers and sailors
solely to keep England in power.
Our Liberties are to be destroyed
and our Republic is to become
gradually a military despotism.
Let US return to George Wash
ington's wise policy. Let US drop
the English selfish friendship and
remain, as we were before, the
Land Of the Free and the Home Of
the Brave. Let US defeat McKIn-
ley and his party and save the
country, its peace and prosperity.
Let every true American do his
duty and oust Mckinley and his
mercenaues. Let US begin now in
every State where there are cleo
tions this fall, for we cannot begin
too soon. Let Ohio be at the head
OF the coming rescue. Let US
eschew the English as did our lore
fathers in 1916 and 1879, and our
Republic will escape that great
danger which now threatens it with
destruction.
