Mckinley, Wake Up!


demned and derrogated monarchial and
aristocratic principles and institutions
In general, and, particularly, those Of
Great Britain and Ireland
To deal with England is, at best, a
well nigh discouraging task. While
the English people have many specious
rights and privileges of freedom, it takes
but a glance at the inveterate, selfish,
callOus aristocracy to dissipate all feel
ings of suffrance, not to say congeniality.
for the existing state of English affairs.
And so, in all our bargains with them,
we have that abhorent sense of aiding
still to perpetuate an imposition Of
multigastric. blood-suckers and phari-
sees upon our fellow men, not to say
our whilom fellow citizen and kinsman
The aristOcrary are bound to the
greatest beneiciaries in all manner of
international deals with the English, be-
cause, being parties, both the English
people themselves and we, also, all
feel in a manner estopped from denounc-
ing or casting them out. But this is a
mistaken feeling; because it can never
be too early or severe to cast out an
impOstor. And so do those leeches use
the people as cat-paws wherewith to
dibble the hot embers.
A tacit understanding pervades the
privileged classes Of Europe. and for
that matter, the whole world to stand
together in last resort against what they
call the 'substratum'-th people
In view of immemorial usages and
traditions of despotism In the entire
Orient Russian emperors have done
more for Russian people in the last CEN
tury than English aristocracy has done
for the people of Great Britain and Ire
land.
Though the car of Russia is the alleg
ed head of the church and state; yet, the
whole empire is really flock of little
communities or demOcracies and there
Is far brighter hope of a near-at-hand
Britain and Ireland.
The people there all know that the
usufruct of Gods footstool belongs by
His will to them and that their local
affairs shall be left to themselves.
But for ages and ages demagogues,
playing upon the natural faltering con-
dition of the human mind the certainty
of God and our feeble capacity adequate
ly to comprehend our relevance to Him,
and mutually among ourselves, have
ministered to the perplexity of the people
and foisted themselves upon them "as
reyes gratia Del" vice gerente," etc.
The Russian, therefore, is now wrestl-
ing only with the question whether God
is more likely to deal with the body po-
little direct or to enfeeble their already
too-weak sensibilities of His presence
and omnipotence, by placing them be-
yond, or remote, to be monkeyed with
by walking delegate or vicegerent.
This question settled and the multi
tLde of communities will cohere in one
grand commonwealth.
With the Englshman no such guam
Diary is involved. The declaration of in
dependence fully established the ig-
nomny of all such ancient frauds. The
Englshman, of England, has become,
after long practice, so degenerate that it
is the most delightful uction of his soul
to lick the spittle of lords, dukes and
kings. and kiss the boots with which
they have most sorely kicked him.
His imagination, such as he has,
translates him to heaven as lie and his
swarming kennels of ma lords" fancy

which God had strewn for the children
of men, Thus is the Englishman's con-
dition utterly beyond hope. He crawls
and licks the dust at the feet of will.
full, malicious, self-impOsed aristocracy,
not because either he or it imagine such
to be the will of God, but because he is
so degraded as willingly to do it-and
arstocracy is SO contemplate as to feel
glorious of receiving it.
The royal family of Russia have lean
ings toward reform; which shows that
they have heart something that has
psychological feeling and sympathy, the
pulsations of which, naturally, are sensi-
bly, felt by all that surrounds. and cor
responding and responsive spiritual life
is commensurably quickened; and only
for the pertinaciOus, mercenary, jealous
battling of England Russia had, ere this,
been, not the INSCRIPTIONS, rapacious
Roman, to spread sham in the West,
but chivalrous Greek, to smash the un-
sreakable Turk and SOW the gospel of
Jesus of Nazareth broadcast over the
East.
When the eye defects to England a
shocking vision rises like the malignant
nation of mere absorbents, the Unsuitable
yoracity of which is only eQualed by
their infinite fecundity, whose immeas-
urable paunch suffers no place for a
heart, and whose only nationality is a
satisfaction of appetite evolved in the
deglutitiOn of the product Of the total
toll of those benighted, conceited and
bigoted subjects, who, with imagined
contentment wear away life in bringing
up the fodder.
Russia has always been one of our
foremost friends; and, consequently, one
OF the foremost friends of human rights.
