upon each other.
Mr.. Mckinley, in his letter of ac-
ceptance, and vicariously through his
leutenants during the campaign, has
expressed a sense of feeling hurt at
the insinuations of his enemies that
he would ever deny to the people of
our newly-bought possessions any of
the substantial rights which our Dec
laration of Independence says should
be secured to all men, and he has
intimated his contrition for such views,
liz he ever entertained them. This re-
pentance, be it noted, was of the latest,
and was indicated only when a polit.
ical sickness seemed to be impending.
Now that he is we'll again, we shall see
how long he remains contrite. We
have no hesitation in predicting that
the imperialistic formula, as original
Ily drafted in Wall Street and Lombard
Street will be put through to its re-
motest consequences, to the end that
the resources OF those countries may
be exploited and squeezed dry of the
last drop of their usufruct, for the
benefit of the corporate contributors
to Dr. Hanna's campaign fund
We risk nothing either, in saying
that n trust lawyer from trust State,
will keep on representing the trusts
in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet, in the ca
pacity of Attorney General; and he
will in like manner, and for the same
purp.se, see that none but trust law
yers are appointed to prosecute the
: trusts in the various courts OF the
country. The President and Congress
will take care that no effective laws
! against the trusts are passed, and
these gentry will see that those we now
have are never executed The trusts
] the lselves will keep on raising the
. prices of their products to the highest
: point short of prohibiting consump
ton, and they will lower the wages
of their operatives down to anything
