about HAWAII
The recent ducussion m the
prese, the senate bill ask-
ing for the anexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to this coon
try has aroused a storm of ad-
ders* as well as favorable com-
ment. That those islands are
an important adjunct to a
government is beyond dispute.
They would afford the strong-
est Naval Station in the world.
England dare not try to get
them, and since she must play
hands off, for America to own
them is entirely satisfactory to
her. France, occupies pretty
much the same position, but
what would Japan do? It is a
question of the most serious
consideration for that country,
?.od whether or not it would al-
low the United States to own
and occupy them is not wholly
determined. The large mass ot
Coolie population then, too,
would be a source of great an-
noyance. But this last trouble
may-b«!*avoided by prohibiting
;he immigration c»f more Chi-
nese to the islands aud from the
islands.into this country. No
doubt but the anuexation
would be a good acquisition for
ib, fet'h seems much more im
portant that we more success-
fully govern amt conduct affairs
in the territory we have now.
The internal dissension that at
oreseut exists will necessitate
the closest care of our legislat-
ive body. Congress has its
hands full at present to allay
the stringency of times and cre-
ate a better general improve-
ment of business. The Hawai-
-anstS&ti wait ali right without
any trouble.
A week ago a New York
I Journal reporter discovered the
* tact that one of the jurors try-
ing the cigarette trust, was let-
ting loose some favorable talk
about the trust. The juror t>e-
t;eved in the trust,and ot course
would do ail tie could for it.
This incident just goes to show
the people how much care is ex-
ercised that justice may be
done; and had it not been for a
newspaper the trial would have
gone on, and of course the ciga-
rette trust would have been ac-
quitted, the people locoed and
the monopoly gone on its way
rejoicing.

by an act of legislation rapine and

paid. no consideration for it.
“What are we doing? Building
up a vast and solid plutocracy in
this country. Somebody asked the
other dav how many millionaires
there are in the United States. You
could count them on the fingers of
one hand before 1860. The policies
and measures adopted by the demo-
cratic administrations before the
war did not permit the growth of
such monsters in this country. Re-
publican bolicies have fostered and
fattened them. They now insolent-
ly demand that other people shall
work out their lives to pay them
tribute.’ —Atlanta Constitution.
ROMANCE VERSUS REALITY.

Trimmer,

THESE SENATORS POSED FOR
GREAT HISTORICAL PICTURE.
IIow in the world the law-
makes ever expect a country to
exist where no one “pays the
freight” but the laboring man,
is something beyond the con-
ception of such people as dem-
ocrats- Of course the republi-
cans can see it. they can see
everything, but some way they
are always looking in the
wrong direction. The present
tariff bill being worked upon,
will be the doom of the repub
lican party. Thinking men
know this, and many of them
are prominent republicans.
Except Texas.
With the exception of Texas, whidi
is the largest cotton producing
state in the south, Georgia heads
the list in the number of acres
planted in cotton for the present
year. Next to Georgia comes
Alabama, according to the estimates
sent out bv the New York establish-
ment, which does not show material
gains in cotton average over 1896.
Of course it is too earlv in the season
to predict with any degree of accur-
acy what the size of the present cot-
ton crop will be in actual bales; but,
in all probability, it will be much
larger than last year's crop.

Late Literary News.
The return of Julian Hawthorne, the
Special Commissioner sent out by
the Cosmopolitan to investigate the
famine and plague in India, confirms
the worst fears. British officials in
India were not anxious to have Mr.
Hawthorne risk his life by a close
inspection of the horrors of plague
and famine, but he is a typical
American, and having undertaken
to see the real conditions, was de-
terred by no dangers. Eight and
a halt millions of people have already
perished, and the reading of Mr. ^
lawthorne's description will open
the eyes of the world to a condition
of affairs that is almost inconceiv-
able in this year of jubilee.

this new page of the secret history
is received with greatest interest.
The discussion of “Does Modern
Education Educate, in the Broadest
and Most Liberal Sense of the
Term?'’ is being widely read. It is
a radical question, and reaches in
the nearest way nearly all classes of
men and women. The contribution
to this discussion in this months
Cosmopolitan is by President Mort-
on, who is at the head of a great
college of technology established on
modern lines.
New England is much concerned
about free hides. Some of her biggest
industries, especially that of boots and
shoes, have been built up during our
quarter of a century of free hides. She
now sells boots and shoes in all parts of
the world. Taxed hides would cripple
this and other industries. Her leading
senators pretend to represent her and
to put up a fight for free hides. In real-
ity, If necessary, they will sacrifice free
hides to obtain high duties on sugar
with plenty of margin for trust prof-

The sending of a few thous-
and dollars to Cuba tor the re-
lief of Americans there, is an
act worthy of the administra-
tion. They ought to have long
Hgo recognized Cuba’s belhg
erancy, and sent a couple of
war vessels and compelled the
Spanish savages to let Arneri
van property alone. Some of
these times when this countiy
gets an aggressive administra
tion our Union will command a
higher respect from the powers,
and it is going to take just
that to do it. The red tape un-
rolled about this Cuba business
is enoi.'gh to lasso every mem-
ber of the senate and house.

Manufacturer* Acslait T»rl® Bill.
One of the most striking indication*
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers’ Association of the
United States. Mr. A. B. Farquhar, an
extensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa., is at the head
of the movement.
It is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the field's all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take cate
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at a disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. It is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their peti-
tion to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff'bill. They ask that the Chi-
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enter-
prise shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists—namely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labor—is shown by census
figures to be a sham. Of the 5,000,000
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the pe-
tition that less than 200,000 are em-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and 616,000 in
occupations subject, to moderate for-
eign competition. The remainder, over
4,000,000, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
It is very plain that the Dlngley bill
Is not designed, amy more than any oth-
er high protective measure was de-
signed, to protect American labor or to
produce revenues for the government.
It is designed primarily to protect the
trusts and to foster monopoly.—Balti-
