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CONSTITUTION IS OBSOLETE.

The following article is from the
Des Moines CIa) Globe, 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 1t
speaks out of the fullness of heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in 1t that touch OF
sincerity that gives 1t weight as an ut
terance, a little rash perhaps and pos
sibly little premature, but significant
of The trend of modern Republicanism.
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction Of
the Mckinley drift:
For 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.
NOV IS A GOOD TINE TO DO AWAY
WITH OUR OBSOLETE CCNSTITU-
TON and adopt form Of government
tnat will be logical with expansion
ideas and will give AMPLE PROTEC-
TON 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 la

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.
1T would seem as if science teaches
that men are created to follow their
masters-the> inspired minds of the
world. HISTORY SHOWS THAT A
KING MUST BE AND IS FOUND IN
EVERY NATION to guide it's people
in every great crisis. Neither is the

Some Historical Parallels Be.
tween Jefferson and
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 dissolute intriguer, loose-liver,
forger, false-coiner, and prison-bird;
every hair-brained, loud-tal'1ing DEM
agogue; every Spectator, scoffer and
atheist, was a follower of Jefferson;
and Jefferson was himself the incarna-
ton of their theories"

WHAT HISTORIANS SAY OF JETFER-
SONS ADMINISTRATION.

And what followed all this hysteria
and malice, invocation of dread spec
tres and prediction of the mob? What
was the sequel? "An administration"
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, twas 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 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
STATE smell series,-and neither the
series as whole, nor Mr.. Morse's vol
ume in particular, will ever be ac-
cused of making admiration of Jeffer-
son it's forte-uses terms almost iden-
teal. Mr.. Schouler, in the passage
quoted, is writing Of a 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 WISH
BILE facts Of the passing time :.
Were not expenses curtailed and taxes
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 pined and almost died"
Tho verdict of history on the adminis-
tration of the latter day Jefferson,
William Jennings Bryan, who has been
more bitterly abused than even his great |
prototype, will closely follow out the |
parallel.

publics. Under the same Hay McKin-
ley surrendered American territory in
Alaska to Great Britain and denied
the right of American miners to pro-
test.
Enemy OF Labor.
At the request of the Standard OIL
trust President Mckinley sent Its
regular army into Idaho to shoot down
and imprison miners who had rebelled
against Standard oil tyranny in Occur
d. Alene. These men were thrown
into a stockade and kept there with
out right of trial until many Of them
became raving maniacs. These facts
are a part of current history.

Of the medical department of Cuba. He
pliced Gen. Miles incommunicado and
sent to Cuba in charge Of the army
Shafter, who rode to battle in lit
ter and who wanted to surrender when
the first shot was fired.
Crooked All Through.
Mr.. Mckinley was free silver man
in 1893, bi-metallist in 1896 and a
single gold standard advocate in $685.
He was a champion of civil service in
1896, and two years later he discharged
5000 civil service appointees to make
place for political pets of Hanna and
Platt.
Through his pro-British secretary Of
state he entered into a treaty with
Great Britain whereby the American
people were to dig Nicaraguan canal
and leave it defenseless to be used at
pleasure by John Bull.
He permitted the opening of special
mail matter to our consul at Pre-
toria by British agents and called our
consul home because that official COM
planned.
He makes constant declaration that
the institutions of this country are
In the hands of providence and then
demands large standing army, as If
providence were not equal to the task
Behold the Man of Destiny.
Secretary Root in a recent speech
in New York said:
ooh for one hour Of Grant,"
Why Grant, if Mckinley is such a
Napoleon?
Why Grant, when the man of des-
tiny and of providence, is at the
helm?
Look at the man! He has been on
every side of every question-always
landing on the side opposed to the
people, on the side of oppression, on
the side of national shame.

In his message President Mckinley
said:
"Forcible annexation is criminal ag-
gression."
He then proceeded to "forcibly an
mex" the Philippine archipelago with
its 100000 unwilling people.
In 1899 President Mckinley said:
1T is our plain duty to give free
trade to the people of Porto Rico"
He Immediately proceeded to i'm
perfume and coerce Republican con-
gress into passing tariff bill against
Porto Rico in accordance with the de-
mand of the sugar trust.
He gave pledges to Spain and Cuba
that Cuba SHOULD be free and indie
pendent.
He has created a military govern
ment in Cuba, which has thwartoS
every step toward island autonomy
and which reeks with theft and corrup-
tion of every kind.

President Mckinley paid Spain $780,

did not possess and had not power to
deliver The president has since that
time spent of the American peoples
money s200,0O0,O00 trying to obtain
that for which he had paid $20,000,-
600. In this attempt he has only
succeeded in filing graves, hospitals,
insane asylums and fat insular jobs.
The end is not yet.
He has appointed more commissions
to carry out his unconstitutional pol
icy than all other presidents have
legally created. He is paying these
commissions in violation of the con-
stitution. (See article 1, section 9,

These commissions have never done
beyond administering coats
of whitewash to the autocracy at
