Exit william Mckinley.

On the 9th OF November William
Mckinley should be eliminated
from the political equation OF the
United States.
He has been a weak and vacil-
Iating executor. He has been un-
grateful.
He was given $50, 900 600 to
prosecute the war with Spain.
This sum he expended extrava-
gantly, but has never rendered an
account.
He has been hypocritical. Pre-
tending to do good. the results
have ever terminated in evil.
He has been. un-American by
attempting to add colonies to the
republie,a course inconsistent with
the fundamental ideas OF self-Pov-
ernment.
He has destroyed civil service,
of which he was an apostle.
Pretending to give a business
administration, he has placed "a
per cent OF the taxes on the poor,
and only 6 per cent. on the rich.
Though belonging to the party
Of Lincoln, he has admitted poly
gamy and slavery within the iuris-
diction OF the United States.
He has taxed Porto Rico with.
out representation. changing his
mind at the dictation Of the trusts
Whilepretending to be the frienc
oil the working man, he has per
mitted trusts to grow abnormally
reducing the prices Of goods so,C
to the trusts, and increasing tn,
price of goods bought from them
and at the same time throwing vas
numbers OF woTkingmen out O
employment,
While expanding in the Philip
pines he has been contracting il
Alaska, where he has given flteei
hundred square miles OF gold bear
ing lands to Great Britain for moth
ing.
He has reversed the Who'll
course of our Republican caree
by refusing sympathy anil suppor
i to the Beers in their gallant fgh

against Great Britain; in fact he
has been in collusion with the
crowned heads of Europe to des
troy republicanism. by conniving
at the destruction of two republics
in South Africa, while destroying,
himself, an embryo republic in the
Orient, as we'll as reducing this
Republic to an empire in fact. if
not in name. In fine, he has been
guilty practically OF every crime
summed up against England in the
Declaration Of Independence. He
has constantly sneered at that doc
ument, and over and over again
violated the Constitution of the
United States, which he swore to
uphold. But, the longest night has
an end. and as we said, on the 9th
day OF November he will be elm
mated from the politics OF the
United States, and after the Fourth
Of March, the place which now
knows him, and which he has des-
ecrated, will know him no more
forever.

The Next House,

The next House should be DeIr-
ocratic. 1t must be Democratic if
the country is to 1--we. Mckinley
has squandered a billion of dollars
on war. He has destroyed the
lives Of thousands of our best men.
The onerous war taxes are still on.
Large pensions will be called for.
Not only is the end of the war not
in sight, but If Mckinley is elected,
with a Republican House, tue war
will have only begun. There is
no money for internal improve
ments. There will be a Ship Sub
sidy bill to rob US OF other mill
lions. Mcnopolies will flourish
and rob TO their hearts content.
A large standing army will be ias-
tened on the community. There
will be no hope for arbitration, and
strikes, murder and financial loss
will ensue. The picture is almost
too appalling, with a Republican
President and House, and Mark
Hanna in control OF all. If Mr..
Bryan is elected, as we feel he will a,
give him House in accord with
his Philippine policy. But il Mr.,
William Mckinley gets the Presi-
dency by any means, thea the more
need is there of a Democratic
House. Should he be elected, d
Democratic House must be elected
to save the community. WhateVei
else you may do, vote for a Dem
ocrat for Congress.

Another TrustInfamY.

1t is announced on good author
ity that the executive managers of
the big Chicago stoCkyards have
decided to replace their 10000
white employees by negroes. The
managers OF the Packing Trust
openly avow the change is being
made because they can control the
negro vote, while they cannot con-
troll the vote OF their white en-
ploYes. Last week Mark Hanna
attempted to make a speech in the
stockyards district. He was
laughed and hooted into silence.
The next day he issued his order
to the Meat Trust. It was to the
effect that its white labor must be
supplanted by black labor. The
order is being obeyed to the letter.
The Republican plan OF coercion
is also being carried out elsewhere.
In addition to the closing down Of
the rolling mills in South Chicago
and Joliet, the Iron and Steel
Trust has closed mills in Lorain,
Ohio; Waukegan, ILL.,, and in An
derson, Ind. This, despite the fact
that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has just given these
plants an order for 10000 tons OF
rails. In Baltimore it is announced
in Mckinley organs that an enter

Constitution FoIIows the Flag.

Constitution FOLLOWS the Flag,
Two of President McKinleY's
own judi ;ial appointees in Hawaii
have decided that the Constitution
follows the flag. Judges Galbraith
and Humphreys, of the Hawaiian
Supreme Court, ordered the dis.
charge OF a prisoner convicted
under territorial laws which the
court held, were repuPnanr to the
Constitution oil the United States,
and, therefore, null and void. The
full opinion, as printed in the Hon
olulu Republican, follows that OF
Judge Lochren, Of the United
States District Court, in all sub
stantial details. The prisoner was
discharged on narrow technical
grounds relating to indictment by
a grand jury and conviction by
Jury OF only nine persons; but the
court went boldly to the bottom Of
the whole question, and its opin
ion, though strictly obiter, is worth
citing:
We cannot assent to the doctrine that
the operation Of the Constitution in the
Territories belonging to the United
States depends upon the will or action
of Congress extending it there. This
doctrine necessarily carries with It the
admission that what one Congress can
give, the same or succeeding Congress
can take away; that, although Congress,
by the organic act organizing the
Territory oil Hawaii. extended the
Constitution and laws of the United
States to this Territory, the next Con.
gress might repeal that part OF the
organic act, and that then the people OF
this Territory would have none OF the
guarantees OF life. liberty, and property
provided in the Constitution, and might
thereafter be governed as a province, a
crown colony, or in any manner that
Congress, in its wisdom, or unwisdom.
might provide; that a tariff might be
levied on the products Of the islands
going into the States, and citizens of
this Territory might be denied the rights
and privileges Of citizens OF the United
States residing in other parts of its
imperial domain.
This, OF course, is the decision
of only an interior United States
court, and may be reversed by the
Supreme Court this month; but it
is enough to set shivers running
down Republican backs to have
such doctrine urged by McKin-
ley's own judges.

Cleveland on Expansion

Mr.. Cleveland's iro1ical anc
sarcastic observations on Republi.
can policy in the Philippines, ex-
pressed in January, 1899, are only
consistent with his whole record
as public man. In his first an
nual message, December 8, 1885,
Mr. Cleveland informed Congress
OF his withdrawal from the Senate
OF the Frelinghuysen and Zavala
treaty, negotiated by his immed-
late predecessor. President Arthur,
with the Government Of Nicaragua,
for the construction by and at the
sole cost of the United States Of a
canal through Nicaraguan terri
tory, and, in explanation of that
first official act, Mr.. Cleveland de-
fined his position in these words:
do not favor a policy of
acquisition of new and distant territory
or the incorporation of remote interests
with our own.
Eight years later, on the fifth
day after his Inauguration tor his
second term as President, Mr..
Cleveland turned down one OF the
important acts OF his immediate
predecessor (Harrison) by with
drawing from the Senate the
treaty, negotiated only a month
previously, Tor the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States.
Having withdrawn the treaty, he
dispatched the Hon. James H.
Blount, of Georgia, to Honolulu,
as paramount special commits
sioner, to make investigation of the
circumstance and conditions.
Surely" said Mr.. Cleveland in his
subsequent special message to
Congress, "under our Constitution
and laws the enlargement OF our
limits is manifestation ofthe high
est attribute OF sovereignty, and il
entered upon as an executive act all
things relating to the transaction
should be clear and free from sus-
picion. Additional importance at
tached to this particular treaty of
annexation because it contem-
plated a departure from unbroken
American tradition in providing
for the addition to our territory Of
islands Of the sea more than 1000
miles removed from our nearest
coast"

ence forget that the panic origi.
mated under the Mckinley bill and
reached its height before that bill
was wiped from the statute books.
In order to appreciate this p oint,
let it be remembered that the Nc
Kinley bill became a law October
6, 1890, and that the Wilson bill
became law August I, 1894.
With these facts in view, let it
be remembered that it was on jan
uary II, 1894, that Mr.. Carlisle
directed a bond issue Of fifty mil
lion dollars. That was seven
months before the Wilson bill went
into effect. But the Republican
panic had performed its work well,
and it paved the way for the in
famous bond issue an gave to the
gold brokers OF New York a sug-
gestion OF how the Treasury of the
United States could be raided
under the pretence of upholding
the national honor.
These are the facts, and they sus-
tain the claim that during the last
thirty years every panic that has
happened in this country origi-
mated under Republican rule and
developed under Republican legis-
latIon.

paupers) were good things.

They are good things for the coun-
try, in the opinion OF Republicans,
and they are to be encouraged and
continued so far as that party can
encourage and continue them,
What say the workmen9
The postal and customs pecula-
tions by Seely and Rathbone and
others in Cuba were perpetrated
by pets OF this trust-bound Admin
istration. Are voters ofthe United
States who have felt the clutch Of
monopolies at their own throats
willing that our wards in that ISL
and should suffer from their sxac-
tions?
The benefits Of our Constitution
were denied the people Of Porto
Rico to favor the sugar and
tobacco and other trusts. Are we
going to sanction by our votes this
violation OF our "plain duty" and
our pledged word1 Are we pre-
pared to say that civilized Porto
Rico must be denied the privileges
conceded to halt civilized Hawaii,
in order that trusts may have full
sway and recoup themselves at the
peoples expense for their lavish
campaign contributions
In the Philippines we have the
spectacle Of the chairman Of the
House Military Committee using
the services OF officers ofthe United
States army to further the inter-
ests OF a syndicate of which he is
the head and front, and which is
only a forerunner Of what the
people over there may expe ct
when once our foothold is
assured. Are we going to sit idle
and by our votes countenance
these enormities1
The story OF Alger and Eagan
and their embalmed beef finds a
counterpart in every weeks mail
from the Philippines. Have we
forgotten it7 Must our soldiers
continue to endure privations and
sickness in that far-off archipelago
in order that millionaires may pile
up more millions at home out OF |
their feYer-racked bodies2
Next Tuesdays election will be |
watched with anxious eyes in other
lands than ours-eyes that are |
waiting to see whether this land
which was once the refuge of op-
pressed is doomed to become the
home OF the oppressor. Let us
hope that their expectations will
not be disappointed. Let us hope |
that the verdict will be freedom for
Cuba, citizenship in the broadest |
acceptation of the word for Porto |
Rico, independence, under Ameri-
can protection as long as it is
needed, for the Filipinos, and for
ourselves a speedy return to gov
ernment of the people by the
people and for the people.
