WANTS A MONARCHY
Mckinley Organ in Iowa Voices the
Real Sentiments of the
Republican Party.
CONSTITUTION IS OBSOLETE.

The following article is from the
Des Moines Qa.) Globe. a Republican
farmers paper. 1t voices in plain Ian
guage the spirit of Mckinley RepuD-
licanism. What the Globe frankly
speaks the imperialist secretly thinks.
1t is brutally plain, and for this rea-
son Republican organs have affected
to discredit its sentiments; but it
speaks out of the fullness of heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in it that touch Of
sincerity that gives it weight as an ut
terance, little rash perhaps and pos
sibly little premature, but significant
of une trend of modern Republicanism.
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction of
the Mckinley drift:
For a long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
of government from the fact that we
are controlled by the little cheap
John politicians anu ward-heelers.
Now IS A GOOD TIME TO DO AWAY
WITH OUR OBSOLETE CCNSTITU-
TON and adopt form of government
Inat will be logical with expansion
ideas and will give AMPLE PROTEC-
TION TO CAPITAL
"A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY
is probably the most desirable plan
that we could now adopt. Everything
is ripe for the change. We take it
that the great farming interests of our
land will readily adapt themselves to
the change. The FARMER is a great
lover of law and order, and ANTI
MONARCHY is LARGELY THE Ia

REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERN
MENT CANNOT SUBSIST beyond a
certain stage. That as soon as great
PEOPLE BECOME RICH, STRONG
AND GREAT, THE REPUBLlU
DROOPS AND DIES. We believe this
is SO, of necessity and not by chance.
We believe that there is not a single
case of record where the masses of a
great nation possessed the intelligence
to initiate laws, and were intelligent
enough to compel the enforcement of
such good laws as they might pass.

Bryan and the Income Tax

At present the government can draft
the citizen, but cannot draft the
pocketbook. Slowly but surely the
dollar Is being exalted and the man de-
based. Justice in taxation must be
restored.
The sentiment prevailing among
those who advocate an income tax
iust'fies the prediction that the Demo-
Gratis, POpulists aud Silver Republicans
will In their next campaign advocate
an amendment to the constitution
specifically authorizing an income tax.
and no one who has faith In the final
triumph OF every righteous cause will
doubt the ultimate success of the effort
to make an income tax a permanent
part of the revenue system OF the fed
eral governments w. j. BRYAN.

WHAT HISTORIANS SAY OF JEFFER-
SONS ADMINISTRATORS.

And what followed all this hysteria
and malice, invocation of dread spec
tres and prediction of the mob? What
was the sequel? "An administration, y
as Schouler justly describes it, "peace-
full, progressive and popular beyond all
precedent" - especially strong and
successful just where the direst disas-
ter had been foreboded, in the man
agement of the finances of the coun-
try Tho policy of this remarkable
administration, writes this admirer
of Jefferson, was at once and steadily
successful in winning the people; and
The prestige of enthusiasm became ir-
resistible when conjoined with the
prestige of success. An executive,
neither the instrument of others nor
a betrayer of trusts, we may regard
Jefferson as the genuine personator of
that to which Frances First Consul
presented contemporaneously the
counterfeit,-a leader of the common
people in the direction of their best
Desires
This verdict is not simply that of
Jefferson's admirers. The historians
are harmonious. Mr.. Morse, in his
volume on Jefferson, in the American
Statesmen series,-and neither the
series as a whole, nor Mr.. Morse's vol
une in particular, will ever be ac-
cused CT making admiration of Jeffer-
son its forte-uses terms almost iden-
teal. Mr.. Schouler, in the passage
quoted, is writing of time midway
in Jefferson's second administration,
just before the troubles with England.
Mr.. Morse is writing of the close of
his first administration, when the
campaign for his reelection ap-
preached. Everything, he says, ere
bounded to his good fame and popular
ity." The nation felt comfortable
= and good natured amid the broad visi-
BILE facts of the passing time. =.
Were not expenses curtailed and taxes
reduced, and debts being rapidly di-
minished? Had the country
been for many years past so free from
irritation and anxiety growing out of
foreign affairs? Had political
kindness ever before permeated the
nation as it did today? Four years of
prosperity and tranquility left little
room for discomfort with the govern
ment. Amid such influences political
opposition pinned and almost died.
The verdict of history on the admins
tration of the latter day Jefferson,
William Jennings Bryan, who has been
more bitterly abused than even his great
prototype, viii closely follow out the
parallel.

Some Historical Parallels Be-

Bryan.

First hear now Mr.. Henry Adams
summing up of the TRADES against
Jefferson by the Federalists of New
England and New York in 1900:
Every disso1ute intriguer, loose-hver,
forger, false-coiner, and prison-bird;
every hair-brained, loud-tal,king dem
agogue; every speculator, scoffer and
atheist. was follower of Jefferson;
and Jefferson was himself the incarna-
ton of their theories

The Albuquerque Journal
Democrat says: An eastern man
has struck the brilliant idea of
pumping the surplus water of
the Mississippi upon the arid
plains to reclaim them. At first
this seems the project of a crank
but after all, the future may pro
nounce the project feasible. The
Standard Oil Company at pres,
ent carries it's petroleum by pipe
lines from Ohio to the Atlantic
seaboard, over the Allegheny
and Blue mountains. Similarl y
water could be carried and pump
ed to New Mexico. Such a pipe
line and pumping stations would
not cost the government more
than it has spent on worthless
and impossible barbors, and the
future may see the surplus water
of distant rivers irrigating the
fertile mesas of New MEXICO and

An exchange puts it thus

An exchange puts it thus. If
the name Omitted States no
longer stands for the American
nation as a whole, why keep up
the absurdity? If the thing,
outfit, government, empire, or
whatever else Mr.. Mckinley and
the republican party may see fit
to call it, is to be separate and
distinct affair, a secession, as it
were, from the states, why not
let Mr.. Mckinley and the repub-
lican party take the federal
property, the District of Colum-
bia, the territories and the va
rious recently acquired islands,
and run an empire at their own
expense? In that case why
should the sovereign and indie
pendent states pay out their
money to support a separate es-
tablishment?

The splendid and successful
conduct of the war with Spain
has been sadly clouded by the
scandals of mismanagement and
favoritiSm, which attended that
glorious cOnSummatiOn. The
course of the administration with
reference to Cuba and the Phi
lippines has lost the party stout
and potent friends. The strange
policy recently adopted toward
Puerto Rico has outraged prac-
tically the entire country. The
Hay-Pauncefote treaty has still
further impaired Mr.. Mckinley s
prestige, and the rumored pur-
pose Of the president to compel
it's ratification will, if it should
be realized, not only discredit
the government, but bring con-
tempt and odium upon the party.
In a word. the situation, as it
seems to us, is far more favor
able to Mr.. Bryan and far less
so to Mr.. Mckinley than it was
four years ago.
What will happen within the
next six months is not for us to
prophesy. We deal with the
facts as they are at this moment.
In our opinion the Republican
party has lost ground to an
alarming extent within the past
three months. It's best friends
and ablest eXponents have not
been able to explain the betray-
al of Our national integrity in
volved in the Hay-PauncefOte
treaty, or to defend the bad
faith and cruelty involved in our
treatment of Puerto Rico. The
administration is daily losing
strength on all these scores.-

Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.

From the Vindicator. Rutherfordtown, Va.
The editor of the Vindicator
has had occasion to test the
efficacy of Chamberlain S Pain
Balm twice, with the most re.
markable results in each case.
First, with rheumatism in the
shoulder, from which he suf.
fered excruciating pain for ten
days, which was relieved with
two applications of Pain Balm,
rubbing the parts afflicted and
realizing instant benefit and en-
tire relief in very short time.
Second, in rheumatism in thigh
joint, almost prostrating him
with severe pain, which was re-
lieyed by two applications, rub
bing with the linament on re-
firing at night, and getting up
free from pain. For sale by w.

Tennessee, in an interview in

great change of political senti-
ment that has swept over the
country within the last few
months, is largely due to the
vaclllating policy of the presi-
dent, and to the action of the
republicans in congress. 1t is,
in my opinion, a sure indication
of democratic victory next fall.

there is no doubt The attitude
of that party towards Porto
