Mckinley on McKinIeyism.

Careful consideration of the Presi-
dents Boston speeches does not con-
vince one that 1t contains message
of any value to the people In solving
the Philippine puzzle. With suave ia
cility, Mckinley slips out from under
the responsibility and leaves the bur
den for Congress to bear, washing his
hands of the whole matter and saying
with oleaginous amiability: Il await
your pleasure, gentlemen"
This Is not the attitude of leader,
but of a trimmer, and sadly enough
this latter is McKinley's customary at
titude. But the President, by virtue
of his position, is the leader. He has no
right to shuttle the responsibility
aside. He said once that he opposed
criminal aggression" and he encour-
aged that very thing in the Orient.
However, Mckinley justifies this state
of affairs by saying that this is no time
to submit questions of liberty to a
people engaged in shooting down their
rescuers. But the Filipinos find diff
Guilty in recognizing their rescuers.
In response to this claim of the Presi-
dent that the Philippines were intrust-
ed to us by the hands of war, Andrew
Carnegie says: THE Philippines have
been 'intrusted to us solely by the un-
expected demand for them made by the
President himself after he had sudden
ly changed his mind, which was at first
that we should not burden ourselves
with them, The Philippine burden is
not chargeable to the war. This is the
Presidents own pandora bOx-his New
Years gift to his country, for which
he alone is responsible. Neither Con-
gress nor the people had any voice in
the matter. But one need not wonder
why he should now attempt to evade
the responsibility, since he tells us that
Every red drop. whether from the
veins of an American soldier or n mis-
guided Filipino, is anguish to my
heart His conscience smites him. No
wonder. The guilty Macbeth also cried
out: Thou canst not say did it,"
This being the case. it would be more
satisfactory to the American people if
the President would make fewer fine
phrases and would put himself on rec
ord concerning his Philippine policy

No End to Trusts.

There is no end to the formation of
trusts. New combines are organizing
with rush. Old combines are enlarg-
ing their scope and crushing out COM
petition. The record for one day in
New York shows that five great Or
ganizations were created for the ex-
press purpose Of devouring the small
consumers.
Every necessity Of life will soon be
in the clutches Of the trusts. and the
people, while suffering from this con-
ditiOn Of affairs, seem helpless to dis
cover a remedy. If they would reflect
that the Republican party fosters the
trusts and that the Democratic party
opposes the trusts they would see that
the remedy lies in placing the Demo
cratic party in power.

Blue Lookout for Mckinley,

Up to Feb. the deficiency for the
current fiscal year was $92, ,S67, ,9S2, or
at the rate of about S16O. .OOOO year.
The war loan Of $2OO,OOO,OOO will be
nearly all gone by July 1 next, accord
ing to the estimates of financial ex-
perts in Congress, and with it nearly
$15O,OOO,OOO war taxes. The govern
ment must either increase taxation or
issue bonds, the natural result Of such
maladminiStratiOn as we have had
from the Mckinley administration.

Lower Wages a Certain Result.

There is no doubt that the unwar-
ranted advance in the price of COM
mOdities by combinations Of capital,
which are now rife, Is endangering the
prosperity of the country. Assuredly
as prices are illegitimately advanced
the consumption Of American products
will decrease. The irony of it all is
that the advance in the prices of COM
modities must eventually be accompa-
MED by lower wages to the working
men.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
