IMPERIALIST ALLIES.
States Into England's
Clutches.

Democracy is unalterably opposed to
"entangling alliances with foreign pow
ers.''
Mckinley and Hanna, who represent
the republican party, favor foreign alli-
ances and have undoubtedly made one
with England.
During the Ohio campaign the demo
Gratis asserted that such an alliance had
been made. Indeed, in their platform
| they declared against a secret or an
open alliance with England or any other
foreign power.
This attitude of the democracy fright
ened Mark Hanna, and he forced his
secretary of state, John Hay, to come
out with a most remarkable denial.
This letter of Secretary of State Hay
wasa startling innovation in diplomacy
Nothing but political emergency in
Hanna's Ohio could have compelled
such descent of the secretary
of state into the muddy waters of po-
litical contest in one of the states of the
union.
Heretofore the secretary of state, the
first officer of the cabinet, has had his
duties fixed by law, and his mission has
been to deal with our foreign relations,
and not with the domestic affairs of the
several states of the union.
But, as the Cincinnati Enquirer says,
''the poetic author of Jim nludsoe' took
~ columns of solid prose to contradict
siX-line declaration of the democratic
party, and so elaborate was the denial
that it tended to confirm the belief of
the existence of a secret alliance be-
tween England and the United States of
America, instead of dispelling."
But now Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary of state for the English colonies,
declares that such an alliance exists.
To quote Chamberlain's own words
establishes this claim. AS reported by
telegraph, Joseph Chamberlain said:
'It is especially gratifying to note the
friendly relations existing between the
Anglo-SaXon branches, and that the un-
derstanding between Great Britain and
the United States is indeed guarantee
of the peace of the world"
And the peace of the world under this
alliance-what is it?
Wholesale murder in the Philippines
under the stars and stripes, wholesale
murder in the Transvaal under the me-
teor banner of England.
Do democrats want this sort of peace?
By no manner of means. Imperialism
must suffer defeat at the hands of dem
ocrats in 19Oo.-Chicago Democrat.

AGRICULTURE PROTESTS.
The Administration Policy of Expan
sion Does Not Meet with Cen
ernl Approval.

The first response from the nation to
the colonial policy seems to come from
the agricultural classes. In conformity
with the presidents notion that the new
possessions are as much part of the
United States as Florida, California on
Alaska, Secretary of War Root proposes
to abolish tariff barriers against goods
of our own possessions. Immediately
comes this protest from Springfield, o.,
from Herbers Myrick, editor of an agri-
cultural paper. He telegraphed to the
president as follows:
We respectfully, but most vigorous
~ protest against the admission of trop-
deal produce free Of duty or at reduced
rates, as recommended by the secretary
OF war this morning. The protest is
made in behalf Of millions of American
farmers. lsborers and capital engaged in
the domestic culture or manufacture of
sugar beets, sugar cane, tobacco cigars.

not submit to being ruined for the bene-
Ut OF trusts employing ooolte labor that
inevitably will control production and man
Z fractures in the tropics. That we speak
With authority in behalf of these great
domestic interests will soon be demon
strated."
Such protest as that may be calcu-
lated to strike protectionist like Nc
IIKinley with great force. If this new pol
icy of destiny shell upset McKinley's al
legged protection-made prosperity, the
last condition may be worse than the
Arst. The agriculturists to whom Nc
Kinley taught the doctrine of protection
evidently remember it and are selfish
enough to want the benefit 1t. Him

Commissioners DENLY declared in a re-
cent article, The protectionists may
make the president tsrn his back on the

WHAT GovERNs7
Reputation of the Constitution at
the Dictation of the
Trusts

Congressman Mccall, of Massachu-
sets, struck the keynote of the Porto
Rican tariff bill discussion when he
said in congress the other day: 1.-The
question is not does the constitution
govern Porto Rico?' but does it govern
us" Can congress, which is the crea-
ture of the constitution, do those
things which the constitution pro-
hibits?"
The American people must not blind
themselves to this simple and signif-
cant truth. 1t may seem matter of
| little consequence whether or not the
tariff syndicates are allowed to tax the
Porto Ricans as they see fit. The
Porto Ricans will suffer and the tariff
trusts will profit-and there, some
might say, the matter ends. Why both
er about it?
But before this tax can be imposed,
before the profit OF the tariff trusts and
the tribute-paying of the Porto Ricans
begins, an American congress must de-
| clare its authority superior to that of
the American constitution. 1t must do
thing which the constitution distinct
" prohibits. Having thus violated the
constitution, its act of violence must
receive the official approval of the pres
ident of the United states-who will
approve it despite the fact that in his
message to congress he took stand
against it.
This reputation of the constitution
at the dictation of the tariff trusts will
be ominous indeed to the future of this
country. What has been compelled
name, believing that it had power to
charm the convention away from the
cold and unmagnetic Harrison. Many
OF the leaders of that opposition were
Blaine's lifelong enemies, not his "fol.
lowers" and some of his truest
friends held aloof and protested
against the use of his name.
President Harrison-to his infinite
credit be it said-had declined to be-
come mere registering clerk to re-
cord the will of the state bosses like
Platt, of New York, and Quay, of
Pennsylvania. They tried to prevent
his nomination, and, failing in that,
in the opinion of many, sold him out
at the polls.
There is no chance of REPETITION of
the conditions that prevailed in 1899.
There is no need for rally of federal
office holders to save Mckinley from a
combine of managing politicians. He
has given to every one of them more
than his pound of flesh. His hoped
for second term is mortgaged to the
eyes with pledges to the bosses. Nc
Kinley can well afford to assume q
virtue. thought he have it not, by
keeping the federal office holders at
home. His denomination is bought
and paid for, at the sacrifice of what
ever backbone he once had.-Albany
