Ex Governor St John of Kansas imagines a devilish paper curbing reform and pandering to elites. He predicts a salutatory tone praising patriotism and liberty while denouncing Mormons and calling for protectionist tariffs. The piece ridicules trusts, imperial wars, and politics, ending with a note on a will passing the paper to Mark Hanna.
The piece argues that in 1900 Americans must choose between Democrats and Republicans. It accuses Republicans of bribery and flattery to split opposition, cites Dennis Kearney and George Dewey as examples, mocks minor candidates like Barker, Debs, and McKinley, and contends socialists could gain if the Gold Democrats fail.
The quote ridicules reform logic by comparing drastic actions to solve crime and vice. It critiques “brainy people” who rely on drastic, impractical fixes such as torching districts or moralizing children. The piece mocks prohibitionists awaiting perfect leaders before acting.
The piece contrasts McKinley era policies with imperial subjects and tariff disputes involving Sulu and Britain. It critiques Hanna ism as a dangerous political force while praising liberty under monarchy and noting the Oregonian editorial’s Tory-leaning tone. It frames voters as rejecting Hanna ism yet warns bankers and officeholders may remain aligned with the party.

The article argues future protectionism would hurt American labor by raising domestic prices while causing exports to fail in international markets, portraying Hannaites as advocating degraded labor and inflated costs.
The article argues that McKinley prosperity coincides with frequent labor strikes. It examines economic growth, capitalist pressures, and worker grievances as factors, suggesting that rising production and profits draw opposition from labor groups seeking better wages and conditions.
A Washington Democratic State Central Committee call announces a Spokane meeting May 19 1900 at 10 am to select eight delegates and alternates for the National Democratic Convention in Kansas City July 4 1900.
