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CONSTITUTION Is OBSOLETE.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, Republican
farmers paper. 1t voices in plain Ian
guage the spirit of Mckinley RepuD-
licanism. What the Globe frankly
speaks the imperialist secretly thinks.
1t is brutally plain, and for this rea-
son Republican organs have affected
to discredit it's sentiments; but it
speaks out of the fullness of heart
saturated with Hamiltonianism, which
is the inspiration of President McKin-
ley; and there is in it that touch of
terance, a little rash perhaps and pos
sibly little premature, but significant
of the trend of modern Repub!icanism
The article deserves the very widest
publicity as showing the direction of
the Mckinley drift:
For long time thinking peop.e
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.
Now is A GOOD TINE TO DO AWAY
WITH OUR OBSOLETE CCNSTITU-
TON and adopt form Of government
tnat will be logical with expansion
ideas and will give AMPLE PROTEC-
TON TO CAPITAL.
"A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY
is probably the most desirable plan
that we could now adopt. Everything
is ripe for the change. We take it
that the great farming interests of oul
land will readily adapt themselves to
the change. The FARMER is a great
lover of law and order, and ANTI

Crooked All Through.
Mr.. Mckinley was free silver man
in 1893, bi-metallist in 1896 and
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
Platt.
Through his pro-British secretary Of
state he entered into 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.
He permitted the opening of special
mail matter to our consul at Pre-
toria by British agents and called our
consul home because that official COM
| planned.
He makes constant declaration that
the institutions of this country are
in the hands of providence and then
demands large standing army, as if

Why Grant, if Mckinley is such a

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.

In his message President Mckinley
said:
"Forcible annexation is criminal ag-
gression."
He then proceeded to "forcibly an
mex" the Philippine archipelago with
Its 100000 unwilling people.
In 1899 President Mckinley said:
ut is our plain duty to give free
trade to the people of Porto Rico"
He Immediately proceeded to i'm
perfume and coerce Republican con-
gress into passing a tariff bill against
Porto Rico in accordance with the de-
mand Of the sugar trust.
He gave pledges to Spain and Cuba
that Cuba should be free and indie
pendent.
He has created a military govern
ment in Cuba, which has thwartls
every step toward island autonomy
and which reeks with theft and corrup-
ton of every kind.

President Mckinley paid Spain $780,
100000 for something which Spain
did not possess and had not power to
deliver. The president has since that
time spent of the American peoples
money $200,00O,O0O trying to obtain
that for which he had paid $2O,OOO,-
900. In this attempt he has only
succeeded in filling graves, hospitals,
insane asylums and fat insular jobs
The end is not yet.
He has appointed more commissions
to carry out his unconstitutional pol
icy than all other presidents have
legally created. He is paying these
commissions in violation of the con-
stitution. (See article l, section 8,

These commissions have never done
anything beyond administering coats

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 dissolute intriguer, loose-liver
forger, false-coiner, and prison bird;
every hair-brained, loud-talking dem
agogue: every speculator, scoffer and
atheist, was follower of Jefferson;
and Jefferson was himself the incarna-
ton Of their theories"

quoted, is writing Of time midway
in Jefferson's second administration,
just before the troubles with England.
Mr.. Morse is writing Of the close OF
his first administration, when the
campaign for his reelection APP

ness Is made TO bloom.
The story about the "Mormons' being
unable to stand the persecution OF the
Gentlles," Is the slllIest kind Of nom
sense "Mormonlsm" has thrlyed on
persecution FROM It's beginning. The
Mormon people are IN the majority IN
Utah, and hold in their own hands, 81
they desire 10 use Il. the balance OF
power. but they are divided on pollu-
cal lines with the great parties Of the
country and therefore they affiliate with
the on-"Momons" on either side. The

sist chiefly in the misrepresentation
made by the few anti "Mormons" who

there Is no danger or likelihood Of

AN "ExoDUsr AGAIN.

The story Of an exodus Of Mormons"
from their Utah homes, is once more
going the rounds OF the press. The fol-
lowing, clipped from ar Eastern paper,
is sample Of the latest report Of the
kind:
Arrangements for one of the big
gest colonization schemes ever cngln-
eered In the west have been completed
NJ Cheyenne, Wyo., where portion OF
the Big Horn basin IN northern Wyom-
ing vii be settled by 'Mormons For
several years a majority OF the Nor
mons In Utah have felt that they could
not stand the prosecutions OF the Gen
tiles, and with the idea Of getting away
and into new country where they
might build their homes anew. arrange
ments were made with the Wyoming
authorities for the selection Of 100000
acres Of land In the Big Horn basin
under the Carey act. A committee OF
prominent Mormons Is now selecting
this land along the Sinking Water
river"
This story has rs origin In the move
rnent recently made for the settlement
OF few families In the Big Horn basin.
The general public ought to know. by
this time, that all the rumors about the
"Mormons" migrating from Utah are
either entirely mythical or gross exag-
gerations Of some comparatively insig.

corning the opening UP Of the Big Horn

THE yAQur RISING.

The Yaqul Indians who a few days
ago attempted TO raid a Mexican town
were repealed only after a severe fight
and heavy loss Of lives on both sides,
The Mexican forces were aided by a
sunboat, but even this Is said TO have
suffered heavily. the IndiaDs having
swept her decks by the fire Of a Maxim
gun. Such a modern weapon in the
hands OF the aborigines Of this conti-
nent is circumstance well worthy Of
a passing notice.
The Yaqus are the only tribe Of In
dians not yet subdued by the Mexican
government. Two years ago a treaty
was signed by which the government
granted them title TO the land In the
Yaqui valley, and promised them GER
tain subsidies In the form OF agricultur-
al implements, seeds. irrigation works,
etc. Now the Indians claim the govern
ment has violated the treaty by giving
mining concessions TO strangers With
out the consent OF the first occupants.
That Is the reason why the Yaquls are
again on the warpath.
Undoubtedly the Mexican government
