Why Not Place MT. Mckinley in the
Party of Matthew Stanley Ssays
The Wanamaker anti-Quay procla-
nation reads all right until ycu strike
the name of Mckinley coupled with
the names of Lincoln and Grant "Ths
party of Lincoln, Grant and AcKia-
ley is to be saved by Mr. WaAa-
makers coterie from the baneful in
fluences of Matthew Stanley Quay.
Without analyzing the taste which puts
Mckinley in the same class with Abra-
ham Lincoln, we must ask for infor-
nation as to just why William Nc
Kinley is to be saved from one of his
most valued lieutenants in the con-
gress of the United States. And where
in is William Mckinley any better
than M. S. Quay?
Mr.. Quay made beautiful promises of
reform in 1895, and the mention Of
those promises now makes Mr.. Quay
laugh as if there were never to be any
more woe in his life Mr.. Mckinley
made certain high sounding pledges
and promises about Cuba and the Phil.
ippfnes-we don't know whether he
laughs or not, but we do know that
this pigmy Napoleon brazenly and in.
sistently urges upon congress and the
people fiat repudiatlon of all his now
pathetic promises.
Mr.. Quay once pleaded the statute of
limitation. MIR. Mckinley certainly
didn't repudiate the surety he pledged
himself to for another man, but We
don't know what he might have done
If Hanna, Hahn & Kohlsatt hadn't
paid his $4,000 obligation and then
had him nominated for the presidency.
M. S. Quay is a political cutthroat
with the courage of his convictions.
Mr.. Mckinley is suggestive of the viii
lain in the play who wears a sniffls and
high hat with crepe on it and an
apologetic droop of tie eye lashes.
The Wanamakerites, IL necessary to
establish their claims to being true
blue Republicans though opposed to
Quay, might name men like George
F. Edmunds, George f. Hoar and ex-
Senator Dawes as representing Repub-
lican party traditions vastly different
from those of Quay. But they would
better leave Mckinley and all the tribe
of the house of imperialism out
Johnstown Democrat
Newspaper publishers are receiving
some good object lessons in the bensA-
CeuCe VI lTuSlS. 1nree months ago
news paper sold at one and nine-tsntks
pound, and even cheaper to the large
consumers. Today the price is three
cents pound, and still rising. The
paper trust has caused the squeeze.
They can't keep up the price so high
for very long at time, but they can
send it skyward frequently enough to
pile up dividends on watered stock at
the expense of the rattle Drained pup
pet newspaper organ grinders who yell
themselves hoarse with prosperity
when they are too poor to buy their
wives new calico dress or pay for the
half soleing of their old 1895 summer
trousers.-Warren Democrat.
Secretary Cages estimates for the
fiscal year beginning next June show
that Imperialism will be the most
costly load for the United States Ac-
cording to these, the white maa'e bur-
den for the coming year will exceed
that for the present one by more than
$34,OO0,000, in spite of the fact that
there will be no s20,0Oo,ooO to pay to
Spain, and that the Filipino war is ex-
pected to he over before the next year
begins.-Allentown Item.
