There are to be added the inhabi-
tants of other villages within the city
limits, Americans and Europeans and

ABDICATION BY CONGRESS.

ture which leaves millions of human
beings outside the pale of any recog-
nized code of law and signifies for our
new possessions for an indefinite period
militarism of the most unadulterated
sort.
Seventh. 1t will mean that the
American people, having in their Presi-
dent the sole representative of the ma
ton as a whole, approve of a national
executive who fails to uphold the dig
nifty and the independence of his great
Office; who exercises It's functions in
Subservience both to other branches of
the government and to the clamor of
special pecuniary interests: who. con-
deirEing the acquisition of territory by
force as criminal aggression wrests
her possessions from n foreign state
By the menace of continued war; who
finds the plain duty of the govern
ment to be one thing to-day and ex-
actly the opposite thing tomorrow, and
whose disregard of the elementary
principles of civil service reform is a
scandal as notorious as it is indefensi-
BILE.
Eighth. 1t will mean that the Amer
lean people indorsc the policy by which

ministrative agencies, the enlarged and
more costly diplomatic service, the
onerous taxes, the international COM
plications and the entanglhg alliances

cvitable Incidents and consequences of
the Oriental role to which McKinleyism
has undertaken to pledge us.

There is always a choice between the

therefore, the true question before

view of that attitude. its success Is
not the best thing in sight.
DECLARES OUTRIGHT FOR
BRYAN.
Such is the real issue now con
fronting, every American citizen. BE
il admitted that the Democratic
party. its platform and its candidate
are open to much just criticism, yet,
all things considered would not it's

lean people either do not see or, seeing,
approve the great and growing. If not
already overwhelming, influence OF
money in our politics. Our govern
ment was not conceived or framed as
Il money-making machine even for the
profit OF all the governed-much less
for the profit OF particular classes or
portions of the governed. Its vital
principles and it's browning merit are
that 1t stands for equal opportunities
10 all; that by the maintenance of
order and the administration OF JUS
tice 1t Is designed to give every man
free hand in the struggle for the
prizHs of life.
The theory of the true functions OF
government McKinleyism directly an
tagonizes-by protective tariffs, by the
most intimate relations between the
United States Treasury and the gen.
eral money market, by subsidies to
particular industries, by an aggressive
colonial policy. and in other ways it
practically holds out the government
as an engine for use in the acquisition
of private wealth. The natural, the in
evitable result is that the money OF
the country holly pursues the control
OF the government as a source of more
money; that the flag figures as sort
of commercial asset, replete with posi-
bilities of pecuniary profit for. its for
tunate custodians.
THAT under the influence of Nc
Kinleyism such is the unmistakabIe
trend of things in this country at the
present day, giving to the best de-
visef policy of all times somewhat the
aspect of stnck-jobbing democracy,
is only too apparent. Should McKin-
leyism now again prevail. for example,

Second. 1t will mean that the Amer

lation as the Dingley Tariff bill, with
all its devices for taxing consumers
and wage -earners-that is. the great
mass of the peoplc-in exoneration of

Third. 1t will mean that the Ameri-
