and promoted It's success. Is itnOt
a shameful episode in our national
historyf To whom does disgrace
and dishonor attach Let the peo-
pie answer the question.
The whole milk in the cocoanut Of
this disgracefal proceeding came
out to-day when Il was announced
in the New York press that the firm
of. Pierpont Morgan & Co., had
been made the fiscal agents Of the
new republic Of Panama in this
country. That means that this firm
Of "Captains Of finance" will finance
tho new republic and get the rake
of. That aecouhts for thefact that
the New York Sun, which has been
hitherto bitterly antagonistic to
Roosevelt, has come outand endors-
cd the action Of the administration
in garoting and robbing the re-
public Of Colombia. That paper is
owned and controlled by Mr. Nor
gan. Il also shows that all the talk
about Wall Street and the Morgan
interests being opposed to Roosevelt
will no longer go down the throats
of a hitherto over-credulous public.
They are all together now in one
happy band of fcomercial freebooters
and Bashi Bazouks and it is singu
larly unfortunate that Senator Cor

failed completely to get the demo

/ It Is generally conceded that tn
democrats must carry the states 9

next presidential election in orde

states are absolutely necessary to
democratic success next year, itma.'
be interesting for the democrats 9

last Congressional election in tha
state last year will suffice to giv
them this information. In one 2
