paving the way for reign of i'm
perialism, conquest. repression and
tyranny, and the death of Liberty
in this continent.
This is plot worthy of Mach
ievelli; but in the face of such evil
dence, there is no room to doubt it
and there can no longer be shad-
ow of denial of the duplicity and
treachery of an Administration
which, while prating of liberty and
prosperity to its people. is coldly
and deliberately plotting to rivet
upon them the shackles of the Old
World tyranny and RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The United States is now acting
in concert with Great Britain to
preserve the latter's dominance of
affairs in China. The diplomatic
note sent out by Secretary Hay on
July Sd. stating the objection of
this government to the partition of
China, was intended to aid Great
Britain against Russia, France and
Germany.
Russia is now aware of the ALI
ance between the United States
and England and has in conse.
quence Withdrawn her hostility to
the British demand that Japan
shall have free hand in China.
Russia is thus compelled to de-
clare war upon China independ-
emily of the powers and thus preci-
pitate situation which may cause
world wide war, for which this
Administration will be largely re-
sponsible.
This Administration is now en-
gagged in pulling England's chest
nuts out of the FIRE in China, and
thousands of valuable lives and
millions of treasure will be sacrifi-
ced in the Orient because of the
secret Anglo-American Alliance.

Alarmed.

The Republicans are somewhat
alarmed over the political situation
in Wisconsin, caused by what one
of their leading papers call "the
omnibus silence among the Ger
MANS" The imperialist plunge of
the administration does not rest
easily on the German mind. The
silence" of the Germans is de-
clared to resemble the situation at
the outset of the campaign over
the Bennett school law of some
years ago, which drove the Ger.
mans in a body over to the Demo-
Gratis. and carried the State against
the Republicans. A correspondent
of the Chicago Record" at Mil
waukee, writes:
There is absolutely no doubt
that the Germans of Wisconsin are
opposed to the colonial policy, to
the requirement of new territory
in short, to what may be termed
the entire foreign policy of this
government during the last two
years. 1t so happens that Wiscon-
sin has large proportion of the
Germans of means and station who
left Germany in 1S49 as political
refugees, and they see in the new
policy a prospect of the same evils
that caused them to leave their ma
tive land"

Gone Back on the American
Faith

Gone Back on the American
Faith.
Pittsburg Post.
One of the imperialistic Repub-
lican papers of this city, having
gone back on the American faith
it swore by a few months ago, pub
fishes with editorial prominence
Senator Hoar's defense of his in
consistency in supporting McKin-
ley's election. after his terrific fus-
illade on the Presidents "criminal
aggression" last spring and winter.
But we observe one passage in
Hoar's defense which dynamites it.
After declaring he sees no way out
of the Philippine muddle but the
ultimate recognition of the indie
pendence of the Philippines the
Massachusetts Senator goes on:
81 think President Mckinley and
the Republican party have made q
mistake. 1 have moi
changed my mind. 1 think the
Philippine Islands belong to the
Philippine people. / think that
people have right to such govern.
ment as they think good for them,
selves, and that we have no right
to give them such government as
we think good for them"
Here is the whole case admitted
Advocating Mckinley, Mr.. Hoar al
once steps on the Kansas City plat
form and plants himself on VIM
j. Bryan's declaration that the one
way to end the Philippine middle
is to stop the war. which can be-
done as quick as a telegram goes
from Washington to Manila, anc
then aid the Filipinos to form
stable government and guarante,
their independence against any
nation in the world. That's the
Democratic way. McKinley's il

A Gatspaw for Great Britain.

A CatSpaW for Great Britain.
The English Government die
tates the policy of the United
States in the Orient as certainly
and decisiveIy as it controls the
action of Lord Roberts in South
Africa. While appealing to the
patriotism of the people in every
way known to the art of the poll
tician and demagogue. and boasting
of the alleged fact that the United
States has become "world power"
the Mckinley Administration has
sold itself to be the hand maiden of
Great Britain and is now engaged
in assisting that government in its
schemes of plumber and aggression.
The policy of our State Depart
ment is a absolutely dominated by
the British Foreign Office. Sec
rotary Hay and Lord Salisbury are
to-day in intimate correspondence
and perfect unity concerning the
conduct of affairs in the Orient.
This servile Difference to the wishes
of Great Britain on the part of this
Administration is due to series
of concessions and arrangements, :"
a secret alliance between this gov
eminent and England, extending
over a period of more than two
years
Categorically. these arrange
ments may be stated as follows:
The Joint High Commission was
dissolved by private agreement be-
tween Secretary Hay and Lord
Paunceforte when it was discovered
that Canada's claims to United
States territory in Alaska could not
be maintained.
y After the Joint High Commiss-
2 was dissolved, by private agree
It, Secretary Hay and Mr..
u, the British Charge d'Affairs
country, were appointed
Mission to decide the Alaskan
boundary dispute and by secret
arrangement with Lord Salisbury,
o great extent of American terri
tory was turned over to Great Brit
ain. The consideration" for this
act of public plumber and betrayal
has not yet TRANSFERRED.
Secretary Hay summarily re-
moved Mr.. Marcum, U. S. Consul
at Pretoria, South Africa, because
the latter refused to submit to the
British censorship of his private
and official dispatches, and publish
ed the outrage on this country. Mr..
Marcum was recalled and every eff
fort was made by the State Depart
ment to humiliate and discredit
Mr.. Marcum because he insisted
on defending his rights as an Amer
lean citizen and maintaining the
integrity of his important office.
The sentiment of this country in
favor of the construction and con-
troll of the Nicaraguan Canal by
this government is SO overwhelm-
ing as to be almost unanimous.
But this would be inimical to Brit
ish interests and by private arrange
ment between Lord Salisbury and
Secretary Hay, treaty was made
revlving the defunct Clayton-Bu
wer treaty, and thus independent
action on the part of the United
States was temporarily prevented.
Secretary Hay, in Difference to
Lord Salisbury's request, offered
the friendly offices of this country
TO mediate in the Transvaal trou- |
bles and thus made it possible for
the British Foreign Office to make
a puppet of this government to ans
wer all the Powers through our
State Department, and hold Europe
at bay.

There is the same opposition

ticn. Bryan is for free silver,
urged Republican, in talking
with a storekeeper of Milwaukee,
and the reply was: "What of it?
He can't make it free. But he is
right on expansion and imperial
ism. On that he can do something
right away. Because he sticks to
silver now, SO / think he will stick
to what he says on the other things"
