The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-11-13
Sirsrlation Statement.


We observe with regret that our es
teemed Republican contemporary. thu
New York SUM- is disposed to mistake
the attitude assumed by The Times since
the election. The Times" tsays "Tht
SUM- continues the discussion in the
form of lamentation."
The Sun is quite in error. The Time!
has uttered no lament over the re
suits of last Tuesdays balloting. On tn
contrary. it has recognized the Republican
victory as sufficiently overwhelming Il
drown all criticism and dissent. II thu
American people have committed one OF the
greatest blunders in their history they vii
discover the fact in good time. If in later
years they are to look back with horror on
the debauch on which they have started
the Hanna organization the truth need not
now worry them or us. 1t is sufficient To
know that the debauch has been author
lied and that nothing can interfere with II
between now and March 4, 1903. The for
NAL kickoff by the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna
will take place on the first Monday in De-
oember next ensuing.
The trouble with the Sun is that it does
not seem to realize the enormity of The
Republican triumph. Considering the GER
tain consequences nothing like It has evei
been known. The Times in its condition
can afford to be more frank aud sum III
those consequences in seventeen plain
propositions. thus:
1.-The Democratic party, as a party oil
effective opposition, has suffered stroke
of paralysis. 1t cannot move nand or foot
for two years and three months.
I.-Hanna knows this and ne intends to
proceed accordingly without delay and
without mercy. Therefore,
III-The representation of The Demo-
cratic South in the House Of Representa-
tives and in the Electoral College is to be
cut down one-fifth.
Iy-The Harrison Force bill is to be re-
vived and enacted into law.
v.-The Dingley Tariff is to be revised
(using the War Revenue bill as means of
approach) in the interest and for the ex-
elusive benefit of its children, the trusts.
V.-The large military establishment
needed to protect the trusts in the accu-
mutations wrung from the necessities of
the people is to be provided.
yII.-Government by injunction is to be
distinctly legaIized and every detail pro-
vided for.
vIII.-The Currency laws are to be
amended on lines laid down by the national
banks.
IX.-All strikes hereafter are to be adj
Indicated by Federal judges and settled by
Federal troops.
x.-The Ship Subsidy bill to be passed.
with other steals to follow.
XI.-The Nicaragua Canal is to be aban-
doned.
XII-Cuba is to be annexed and looted.
XIIf.-Porto Rico is not to be admitted
rs a Territory until its resources are en-
,irely within the control of the trusts.
XIy-The Philippines (suodued) are to
be held as Crown Colony and squeezed
dry.
Xv.-The alliance offensive and de-
fensive, now secretly existing between the
Mckinley Administration and England, is
TO be formally confirmed.
XVI-The Imperial Republic ordained by
the American people on November the
sixth. 1900. is to be brought into being on
the day of Mr.. McKinleys Inauguration.
XvII--For the people have sold their
birthright for full dinner pail and they
are to be firmly held TO their bargain.
Not one of these things can be prevented
or much delayed by anything the Demo-
Gratis can do in Congress before the Fourth
of March, 1903. Democratic House of
Representatives. if elected in 1902, would
come into power too late to be of any ser
vice.
The world is ours for two years and
more cry the Hannaites, land we will de-
lay not in Selling upon our Inheritance.
The people have spoken and now our will
IS law. The Constitution does not and need
not follow the flag not even in the forty
five States of the Union. If the Supreme
Court objects to this our remedy is in that |
thoughtful provision OF the Constitution |
which endows a Republican Congress with |
the right to enlarge the Supreme Court for |
any purpose and 10 any extent
Does the New York Sun" like the pic
tuse? II it does not yet let 1t still be .
Silent. II was exhibited TO the American |
people on Tuesday last ard they said that |
it was good.
