ident.

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.

Republican politicians protest when
ever fusionist quote Abraham Lincoln
or Henry Ward Beecher in opposition
to q policy of Imperialism. They will
also protest when William Mckinley
is quoted. Mr.. Mckinley has said
some things worthy of republication.
Among such are these:
In December. 1897, William Mckinley
said: Il speak not of forcible annxation.
That according to our cod of morals,
would be criminal aggression"
At Ironton, O., October 1, 1885, Will
lam Mckinley said: "The freedom and
political equality of all men must be
fully and honorably recognized
wherever our flag floats"
In New York city, Nav &c, 1889, Will l.
lam Mckinley said: The Declaration of
Indepen dence sounded the voice of
liberty to mankind The cautious and
conservative while believing in its
eternal truth doubted it's wisdom and
it's policy. It was in advance Of the
thought of the great body of the people,
vet it stirred feeling for independence
and an aspiration for selfgovernment
which made republic chat has now
lived more than a century. Our of all
that came republic that stands for
human rights and hdman destiny,
which today represents, more than any
other government, the glorious future
of the human race"
At Albany, N. Y, February ~ 1895,
William Mckinley said "The greatest
names in American history are Wash
ington and Lincoln. One is forever as
sociared with the Independence OF the
states and formation Of the federal
union; the other with universal free
dom and the preservation of the union.
Washington enforced the Declaration
of independence as against England; |;
Lincoln proclaimed it's fulfllment not
only to q downtrodden race in Amer
lea, but to all people for all time who
| may seek the protection of our flag"
In 1890 William Mckinley, speaking
at the New England dinner in Phikadel-
phia, said:
Human rights and constitutional
privileges must not be forgotten in the
race for wealth and commercial su'
premacy. Thegovernment OF the peo
pie must be by the people and not by q
few Of the people; it must rest upon the
free consent of the governed, and al
Of the governed. Power, it must be re
mem mbered, which is secured by oppres
sion. or usurpation, or by any form Of
injustice is soon dethroned. We have
no right in law or morals to usurp that
which belongs to another, whether it Ii
property or power. World Herald.

NOW AND THEN--17e4-1see.

The imperialists, which is only an.
other name for those who are the en-
emies Of our republican form of govern
ment, or the victims of such, urge as
one Of the reasons why the Fillipinos
should be subjugated and crushed by
the hand of the United States, that
prominent Fillipinos have charged that
Aguinaldo is actuated by base and dis
honest motives. AS suggestion to
such, I will give scrap of history of
our early days. When Washington. not
Captain Kidd. signed the treaty with
England, IN 1894, known as the Jay
Treaty, crowds of people, led by men in
high government positions gathered
and publicly burned Chief Justice Jay
in efigy, together with copies Of tho
treaty, and assailed the character and
motives of Washington, to quote his
own words, in terms so exaggerated
and indecent as could scarcely be ap-
piled to Nero, or even to common
pickpocket and thief" Have any pro-
minent Fillipinos accused Aguinaldo of
worse things than here charged against
Washington during his second term
as presidents Were these charges q
vindication of the English monarchist,
only twelve years before, in opposing
the independence of America, or q
justification of the declaration of
George the ILL.,, that anything tending
to annoy or distress the Americans,
would meet with his approval7" Still
earlier, when Washington was chosen
as Commander-in-C Chief of the army,
many very loyal men accused him of
being naughty, selfish aristocrat, and
argued that if the army should be
successful, it would only amount to
changing from subjects of one king to
those of another, and that his motive
was to establish himself as the first of
New World dynasty. What man with
the brains of louse and the innate
Justice, of pismire. would have used
these carpings of personal jealousies, as
an argument against the rights of the
American people to govern themselves?
