In his message President Mckinley
said:
''Forcible annexation is criminal ag-

He then proceeded to "forcibly an

its 100000 unwilling people.
In 1899 President Mckinley said:

Porto Rico in accordance with the de-

He gave pledges to Spain and Cuba

President Mckinley paid Spain $780,

WANTS A MONARCHY
Mckinley Organ in Iowa Voices the
Real Sentiments of the
Republican Party.
CONSTITUTION IS OBSOLETE.

The following article is from the
Des Moines Qa.) Globe, a Republican
farmers paper. It voices in plain Ian
guage the spirit of Mckinley RepuD-
hcanism. What the Globe frankly
speaks the imperialist secretly thinks
1t is bruta1ly plain, and for this rea-
son Republican organs have affected
to discredit its sentiments; but it
speaks out of the fullness of a heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in it that touch OF
sincerity that gives it weight as an ut
terance, a little rash perhaps and pos
sibly little premature, but significant
of the trend of modern Republicanism.
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction of
the Mckinley drift:
For a long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
OF government from the fact that we
are controlled by the little cheap
John politicians anu ward-heelers.

ley surrendered American territory in
Alaska to Great Britain and denied
the right of American miners to pro-
test.
Enemy of Labor.
At the request of the Standard Oil
trust President Mckinley sent its
regular army into Idaho to shoot down
and imprison miners who had rebel1ed
against Standard oil tyranny in Occur
d. Alene. These men were thrown
into a stockade and kept there with
out right of trial until many of them
became raving maniacs. These facts
are a part Of current history.

Crooked All Through.
Mr. Mckinley was a free silver man
in 1898, a bi-metallist in 1896 and a
single gold standard advocate in. 1898.
He was a champion of civil service in
1896, and two years later he discharged
5000 civil service appOintees to make
place for political pets Of Hanna and
Plat.
Through his pro-British secretary of
state he entered into a treaty with
Great Britain whereby the American
people were to dig Nicaraguan canal
and leave it defenseless TO be used at
pleasure by John Bull.
sGpermitted the opening of special
p matter to our consul at Pre-

He makes constant declaration that
the institutions Of this country are
in the hands of providence and then
demands large standing army, as if
providence were not equal to the task.
Behold the Man of Destiny.
Secretary Root in a recent speech
in New York said:
ooh for one hour Of Grant!'
Why Grant, if Mckinley is such a
Napoleon?
Why Grant, when the man of des-
tiny and of providence, is at the
helm?
Look at the man! He has been on
every side of every question always
landing on the side opposed to the
people, on the side of oppression, on
| the side of national shame.

Some Historical Parallels Be
tween Jefferson and
Bryan.

First hear now Mr. Henry Adams
summing up of the TRADES against
Jefferson by the Federalists of New
England and New York in 1900:
EVERY absolute intriguer, loose-liVer,
forger, false-coiner, and prison-bird;
every hair-brained, loud-ta1'Iing dem
agogue; every speculator, scoffer and
atheist, was a follower of Jefferson;
and Jefferson was himself the incarna-
ton of their theories

6VHAT HISTORIANS SAY OF JEFFER-
SONS ADMINISTRATION.


And what followed all this hysteria
and malice, invocation of dread spec
tres and prediction of the mob? What
was the sequel? can administration"
is Schouler justly describes it, peace
hui, progressive and popular beyond all
precedent - especially strong and
successful just where the direst disas-
ter had been foreboded, in the man
agemcnt Of the finances of the cOun-
Try. '"Tho policy of this remarkable
administration writes this admirer
Of Jefferson, was at once and steadily
successful in winning the people; and
}he prestige of enthusiasm became ir-
-esistible when conjoined with the
prestige of success. An executive,

This verdict is not simply that Of

his first administration, when the
campaign for his reelection ap-
preached Everything, he says, ere

Were not expenses curtailed and taxes

Bryan and the Income Tax

At present the government can draft
the citizen, but cannot draft the
pOcketbook. Slowly but surely the
dollar is being exalted and the man de-
based Justice in taxation must be
restored.
The continent prevailing among
those who advocate an income tax
justiffeS the prediction that the Demo-
Gratis, POpuIIsts and Silver Republicans
will in their next campaign advocate
an amendment to the constitution
specifically authorizing an income tax.
and no one who has faith in the final
triumph of every righteous cause will
doubt the ultimate success of the effort
to make au income tax a permanent
part of the revenue system Of the fed
, eraI governments. w. j. BRYAN.

to the Register.

Special to the Register.
ELKINS, w. Va, January 13.-The
dispatches that have been sent out In
regard to the woman Ellis Glenn, now
in jail at Parkersburg, alleged to be
from Webster county, and the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Adam Miller by a former
marriage, are jokes pure and simple,
Mrs. Miller arrived here yesterday from
Addison to visit her son, Mr.. Elmer
Cunningham. When the name OF
Ellis Glenn was mentioned she laughed
heartily. She produced four pictures
of Ellis Glenn taken from a paper in
Indiana, which were sent to her by
Mr.. d. B. Hutchinson. of Addison.
She stated she had never written TO
Ellis Glenn claiming her as her long
lost daughter. She says the daughter
who some claim to be Ellis Glenn died
in Florida some years ago.
SO the identity of Ellis Glenn is still
a mystery. The story is evidently a
joke perpetrated by some Of the wags
of the Webster Springs.
At the recent corporation election
the Democrats gained everything but
the recorder and one councilman, elect
ing Dr.. l. C. Evans as mayor and four
out of the five councilmen.
The council has let the contract for
a system of water works for the city
of Elkins to e. F. Kitson, of Reading,
Pa, for $26,250. The plant is to be in
operation by the middle Of July. Sen
ator Elkins has very generously do
mated a sufficient amount of land on
one of the high halls adjacent to the
town for the water works.
Before the holidays $50 hands in the
shops here held a meeting and agreed
to strike for higher wages, and If not
granted they would quit work, but
would give the company until January
i to decide, at which time the increase
would go into effect. The officials Of
fered them an increase of ten cents a
day, making $3.50 per month. The
West Virginia Central is the best pay
ing road in the country and pays its
shop hands the poorest wages OF any
other. Yet Senator Elkins says the
Republican party are going to smother
the Democracy with prosperity.
1t is needless to add that after the
w. Va. C. road made the slight increase
in wages they also increased the price
of coal, of which they have full con-
troll here, and are now talking of an
other increase. "Oh, consistency, thor
art a jewel. It is needless to add thai
the son of ex-senator Davis is presi'
dent of the Junior Coal Company.

book that rounds out the years history
Of Boston's stock market that far
eclipses anything ever recorded in this

From the time that a famous Boston

gold, thus gaining at once riches and
renown, up to the time of the bursting
of Merry Evans great stock gamb-
ling bubble, and the suicide of that

a rapid rise and toboggan-like decline
as does this one Of the "Three Cs'-

and Edward A. Clark.
Carried to the loftiest peak of finan-
cial success and personal riches as If
on golden wings, they tarried there,

OF 5000, 900 of the funds of the Globe

Surely this is a high price to pay
for the privilege of being known as

so short a period.
Six months ago these three remarka-
BILE products of a modern commercial
