With this platform in his mind. but
not In his heart. President Mckinley
violated every word of 1t by his gift OF
American territory to England.
Both England and Canada had rec
ognixed the Russian boundary be-
tween Canada and Alaska for 40 years
before the purchase of the territory by
the United States. England now
claims what we bought from Russia.
and our patriotic president hauls
down our flag and evacuates without u
word.
There Is no equivocation about the
treaty between England and Russia.
or that between England and the
United States. Each plainly and ex-
plicitly states that the boundary shall
follow the windings of the coast"
This agreement was lived up to for
30 years by England-until the acces-
sion OF Mckinley.
What may we expect next? The
cession of counties along the ST Law

ia? or what value is the American

HAULING DOWN THE FLAG.

At the hehest OF Great Britain.
President Mckinley has hauled down
the American flag from a strip OF
Alaskan territory twenty miles wide
and one hundred miles long.
In this strip OF American territory
purchased from Russia thirty-three
years ago. there are American mines
and American miners. American farm
ers. American sawmills and American
lumber camps. They have all been
turned over to England. lock. stock
and barrel. as a gift by his imperial
majesty, the Republican president.
Let us see how Euch OF gift 1t
was The very territory turned over
to England by Mckinley was leased
from Russia for II term OF twenty
years by the Hudson Bay Company OF
Canada. long previous to the purchase
OF Alaska by the United States. la
the face OF this contract and fifty
years later, william Mckinley pre-
sents to Great Britain the land which
that kingdom had previously leased
from Russia.
We are not surprised at McKinley's
action. 1t Is in line with his policy
in other directions. We simply desire
to lay the matter before the people
his subjects-in its true light.
We would also commend to the
| earnest attentions of all true-minded
| Americans, of whatever party, race o..
color. the scrupulous manner In which
President Mckinley npholds the plat
form OF his party.
This platform says:
I'VE reassert the Monroe doctrine In

friendly Intervention in case of Euro

said that the canal was TO be "proIonga.
ton OF our coast line" We must have as
full and absolute control Of it as we do of OH,
own coasts and harbors. Nothing less will

that the canal shall be as absolutely in oIIr

We must fortify and guard it i'm the strong

for an enemy to interrupt passage through
the canal, at some critical moment defeat :
