OF MONARCHY
WAS PLOT OF POLITICIANS

these denials I have refrained since
December % from pressing my belief
as to his intentions to restore the en-
.pire and usurp the throne.
In his Message to the American
People," of November %, 1915, Yuan
says he sincerely believed shat king
ly institutions were not in keeping
with progress acknowledgements; that
monarchical government is as dead in
China as in the United States" Later,
when his schemes for usurpation had
matured, he asserted that "Whethe.'
as emperor or president, he rests in
the will of the people!"
All of this is a monstrous hypocrisy
and a villainous imposition. A con-
stitutional monarchy is not what Yuan
wants, but government giving him
a power and license that the greatest
despot would forbear to use. The goal
of his endeavors is anarchy and chaos.
His future regime cannot be more
than one of great avarice and graft
in fact, the resurrection of the evils
and corruptions of the effete Manchus
magnified hundredfold.
China has never been and never will
be successfully ruled by the strong
arm of despotism. No patriot can
conscientiously remain silent on
locker on such gloomy prospect; and
/ if our nation had any reason to rise
as one man against the Manchus We
have now tenfold reason to arise and
thrust this incubus from our midst.

Media, Pa, Jan. 4.-lne people ol
America cannot view the affairs OF
our country as of extraneous import
ance and interest. For your states
men are realizing that the time OF
glorious isolation has gone by. In
the future welfare and prosperity OF
China will rest the future welfare and
prosperity of America. We have many
things in common; many interests that
are mutual; China, by her geographi-
cal position, is linked to America by
the embrace of the great Pacific.
Contemporaneous with the opening
of the Panama canal came the cap
stone of our international arch OF
commerce, fellowship and co-opera-
ito. 1t was China's attempt to come
into line with American principles,
aims and endeavors in a great de-
mocracy.
But cable advices of December IL
announce that tdemocracyis swept from
China and that Yuan Shi Kai is to
ascend the imperial throne!
ask that you, citizens OF this great
land of liberty, be not deceived as to
what has been taking place. The cleo
tions. so-called, are farcical. Did
space permit, could tell how the pro-
vincial petitions recommending the
monarchy were faxed in the capital;
how ballots were forged, and how the
Chinese parliament which went
through the formality OF electing
Yuan as president had been ordered
dissolved in November, 1913; now
the legislatures were dissolved in Feb
ruary. 1914, and all local legislative
lbod;es brought into existence by the
Republican regime were dissolved
about the same time; how in their
Mace were created state council
filled with the tools of Yuan Shi kal.
Indeed, all that remained of popu-
lar institutions was in fact personal
machine. a sort of idealized Tammany
organization of imperial dimensions
controlled entirely by this one man.
As pointed out in my letter OF
December %, 1914, the aim and goal
of Yuan's systematic scheming mas
been the imperial throne. AS against
this charge stands Yuan's barefaceo
denials up to the last moment tna'
he had the least aspiration for the
crown. Repeatedly he made assur-
ances that he would emulate the
American Washington and ne contin-
pouslv asserted that charges that NJ
asoired to, monarchy were ilbelou'
|fabrications of his enemies to fomen
