OPEN DOOR FOR DEMOCRATS.

Republican treason to republican i'll
stitutions provides Democracy with an
open door to national supremacy In
1900. Seryility to capitalistic combines,
advocacy of imperialistic methods,
braZen defense of official corruption,
and shameful alliance with the banking
trust of the East, have at last alienated
the confidence of the American people
in a national administration, which,
pretending to derive its authority and
wisdom from Divine Providence, In
reality takes its orders from llama
and it's inspiration from the Wall
Street Money Trust. Using the flag
as cloak, it proposes to convert the
Filipino archipelago into military
satrapy. Pledging independence to
Cuba, 1t Is exercising a suzerainty over
the Cubans more oppressive than that
held by England over Egypt Solemn
ly declaring in favor of international
bimetalllsm, it hastens to obey the de-
mand of the money trust for a single
gold standard. Sworn to preserve the
rights of the States under the consti-
tuition, it orders its regulars to shoot
down laboring men in Idaho at the bid
of Rockefeller. The custodian OF the
peoples money, it turns the same over
to Standard Oil banks to be used in
furthering the grasping designs of the
trusts. Posing as a champion of free
dom, it sanctions slavery in its sub
jugated islands. Pretending to frown
upon pOlygamy in the United States,
it gives official recognition to pOlygamy
in a conquered province. Claiming to
be the especial upholder of the merit
system. it deliberately assassinates the
civil service rules and turns 10000 Of
fees over to political spoilsmen. I'm
der this administration trusts, with
watered capital stock amounting to
eight billion dollars, have been organ
lied to prey upon the people. A stand
Ing army of 100000 men has been
forced upon the nation. Two hundred
million dollars has been spent In con-
quering the people of an island the
trade of which amounts to only $17,-
100000 a year Under this trust-cre-
ated and trust-directed administration
the prices of hundreds of articles of
necessity to the common people have
been advanced from % to 40 per cent,
while more than 10000 people have
been thrown out Of employment by the
| trusts. This black record of Repub-
lican treachery is bearing wholesome
fruit. Hanna will cry in vain of peril
to the business interests of the cOun-
try" He and his White House agent

ence of the nation. All the people can

If Senator Spooner and the other tory
imperialists have their way William
Mckinley of Canton, Ohio. is to be
made Emperor of the Philippines by
act of Congress. The bill for the ac

follows:
when all insurrection against the

have been completely suppressed by
the military and naval forces of the
United States, all military, civil and
judicial powers necessary to govern
the said islands shall, until otherwise
provided by Congress, be vested In
such q manner as the President of the
United States shall direct for maintain
ing and protecting the inhabitants Of
the said islands in the full enjoyment
of their liberty, property and religion"
The imperial power exercised by
President Mckinley while the ''insur-
rection' lasts is tolerated, although i'm
patiently, by the people as military
necessity. But Senator Spooners Dill

trickery in preventing the last Con-
