PAGE 4 THE GAZETTE W. T. MORGAN, Editor (subscription prices and offers) ----(general news)----- We are strong sympathizers with Cuba, but still stronger in sympathy with the Americans who today are out of employment. Give our laborers work to do and Cuba will get their help. If President McKinley wants to serve the American people, it seems to us that he can do it in other ways than annexing Hawaii. We do not want that island. We have enough of such trash now. Le this government of ours busy itself with bringing about prosperity for the territory it now owns, if it proves itself equal to that emergency then it is serving the American people. Away with Hawaii. It seems that our people have no heart to celebrate July 4. It used to be an occasion of great joy and patriotic speaking. This year it was signaled by 200,000 coal miners leaving their picks and shovels – quitting work on account of low wages. Truly an era of great suffering is upon us: an era that buries patriotic feeling, all love of country, all devotion to the common cause of our country. Hungry, naked and crying children are enough to drive all patriotism from the heart of any man. Truly the fourth of July today is not what it was a hundred years ago.
