PFEFFER ECHOES M'KINLEY
The President Arraigncd.

Atlantic City July IA -Ex- Senator
Piefier has made 4 speech Here IS some
OF it, but the whole Of it won't save
Mckinley from defeat in 1900:
| "ThOse who oppose this policy tell us
| that we are violating the puuciDles Of
the Declaration OF independence by
enforcing our government upon people
| without their consent
! 'Will you turn open the doors OF our
| prisons and turn Outall the m en- who are
| lncar, Grated there against their consent?
| This coun'rN originally belonged to the
| Indians. ID the white man permit he
| Indian 10 burn and kill because to
restrain him would be to govern him
| without his CONSENT
There is no intelligent OF possible
connection in Mr.. Pr, ffer's suggest
| to open our ails and liberate all the
criminals inrarcera'ed without their
| consent, unless he a'mlts that the
| patriots Of I776 woo refused to consent
| to taxation without representation were
| criminals. Every statement made by
| the long VIII skeTed Kansan is not only
! a amentaldlstortion, a misrepr ntation,
or false, but shows a lament bic iguor.
| anCe OF his count ry's history. Under
the claim Of discovery England owned
! certain portions oil North America. The
| English King gave a grant of Sands
to William Penn After the Quaker
arrived up the Della ware he conferred
! with the real owners Of the land,
! the Indians, buyiDg II and making a
friendly treaty with them. Then all
was peace and lie settlers prJspered.

forgive me for making the comparis1n)
| he would have faunted the King S II. mt
| in the faces Of the Indians who could not
read and ordered them to get out. Then
on some moOnless night, in theshush Of
nature disturbed only by the sigh Of the
zephyr and the song OF the nightingale,
Mr.. Plefer WOULD have been artistically
| and Justly massacred. In objeCting to
that Mr., Pieder admits that If a man
goes to bis farm in Kansas and haunts in
his face writ OF possession in accord.
| ance with his International Code" he
would Immediately stink and sneak
away. Had the teachings fthe Quaker
| William Penn been followed, there
| would have been no disgraceul Indian
| Wars--no question about their consent
| to be robbed Of their lands or be killed.
Had the teachingsol the patriot, George
! Washington, been followed there would
have been no Massacre Of the Fhipiuos
no question about their consent 10
surrender or he killed--the diabollcal
| Mckinley ultimatum. In the name OF
Freedom, Justice and Civilization,
compare the Patriot with the Muir.

dIsordeTed intellect, bereit Of reason,
swept from their feet by the in
toxicating wave OF sudden victory,

personal war against the Filipinos made
without anv authority from Congress
the war making power, in his vain ex
