Second—Coal is the force which alone keeps the entire complicated industrial plant of organized society active and productive. Without it practically the entire plant would be inert, motionless. Third—The railway is the means by which the fabric of our industrial civilization is held together. Fourth—The control of iron and coal and the railway means the control of our entire industrial society.

What, then, is Mr. MeKinley doing in Cuba? Why, then, is he seeking to coerce the Constitutional Conven- tion of the “free and independent” Cuban people? What does he mean by announcing that he purposes to send the constitution of the “free and independent” Cuban people to Con- gress for review and ratification? Cuba was “pacified” long ago. By our solemn pledge, by our statute law, signed and indorsed by Mr. MeKinley, and binding in honor, in morals and in Jaw upon him, he, he and none other, ought to have withdrawn from Cuba long ago.
