HYPOCRISY Without a Parallel In the History of This Nation. Polygamists and Slave Slave-Drivers - Drivers Slave-Drivers Honored. "Backsheesh" Sent to Sulu's Sultan. Judge Grant Scores a Glaring Discrimination. Mr. McKinley's sole stock in trade as a legislator was a high protective tax, the chief benefit and beauty of which, in his estimation, was that it discriminated against "foreign pauper labor." Of course, as soon as the beneficiaries of this legalized spoliation had fastened their tax upon the American consuming public they proceeded to neutralize this fraudulent protection to home in industry - dustry industry by importing hordes of the very pauper labor against which Mr. McKinley so loudly cried out, and then taxed us again to pay the expense of putting down the riots and the like occasioned by their presence and competition. But all this, and much more which might be said, is quite beside the question I have in mind just now. What I purpose showing is that the present national administration lias turned its back on its traditional hostility to "foreign pauper industry," and is "protecting" it to the infinite dam damage - age damage of a like iudustry at home. Some three weeks ago the press dispatches in our newspapers con contained - tained contained the following: HABD AMERICAN DOLLARS FOB A HEATHEN KING. A PKESKNT OF $10,000 SENT TO THE SULTAX OF SULU.
