GA voice: they are all sick.") Yes they
are a II sick If it were necessary l
would say send $4,000 more to save
the missionaries.
England is on her last legs and wants
an alliance with the giant country, the
United States, to assist them when
they were whipped to a standstill by
the gallant Beers, who only had 100000
soldiers against them.
What are the Philippines? There are
two groups, the Philippines proper and
the Sulu islands. which are inhabited
by 100000 people. They are religious,
the Catholic church having four do
ceses with an archbishop, and also
have preserved their own language.
They are celebrated for their cleanli-
ness, chastity and temperance. There
are 100000 Mohammedans exercising
polygamy and slavery. We have en-
listed the services of the Sultan of Sulu
with his harem. The rights and digni-
ties of the Sultan must be respected,
and any slave has the right to pur-
chase freedom at the usual market
price, according to the treaty Where
will the slave get the money to buy
his freedom? The Sultan is paid $3.50
per month, while minor officers get SIS
and SOS, in all, $1,000 per month for
taking care of the Sultan's forty wives.

William Mckinley helped to strangle
the two South African republics.
Let us consider the Porto Rican
question. When they received us with
open arms and Mckinley was willing
to grant them free trade until Aux
nard, the agent OF
The Sugar Trust
urged the free trade proposition to be
defeated. The tobacco men of Connec-
ticut also objected to such a measure
Twenty-Five per cent tariff was urged.
but finally compromised on a is per
cent. tariff, and Mckinley signed the
bill. Taxation without representation
is tyrannical. Mckinley courts George
Ill with the Boston tea party incident
Mckinley drew draft for $500 900 to
build schools in Porto Rico. when they
can build them at a smaller outlay.
Under the imperial ukase Mckinley
raised the postoffice salaries in Porto
Rico. The Nicely, Rathbone and other
scandals in the postoff3ees of Cuba
