the property have had their confidence
considerably shaken by the testimony
of officers in the recent suit at San

that this testimony was garbied il re-

CHICAGO, May l5.-The Times, in CON-
menting on the commission to investi- |
cato the Hawaiiln treaty, whA leave
Washington for the Pacific Coast today.
says: The truth of the matter seems |
to be that Eastern retiners are not
pleased to see Claus Spreckels and |
smaller San Franciscans, if any are
left, inolopoliZing the sugar business of
the Pacific Coast under the treaty. |
therefore they propose 10 smash the |
treaty if they can, 50 that they them.
selves may have chance beyond the |
Rockies, and compel Pacific Slopers to
pay more for sugar. The queerest |
thing III tais connection is that some Of /
the California papers practically tale |
the side of the Eastern refiaeri. cursing |
Claus Spreckels as a monopolist because |
he has made money under the treaty, |
and demanding an abrocation of that |
instrument with true California vehe- |
mence. No doubt Spreckeis d Co. have /
made the most of the tro,ty so Far, but |
+, that the people have received some of |
tho benefits Is plain, from tho fact that |
| Pacific Coast reiiners exclude Eastern |
competition. The facts show that |
Americans are benefited By free trade. !
Under free trade confined within very
narrow limits the few reap the greater |
part of the benefits. Under perfectly |
free trade the few would have to DO |
content with fair profits and the people |
would get nearly all the benefits of !
commercial freedom. The commission, |
however, is not organized to make any |
such discovery as this. IL is 10 be re- |
GREETED the commission was not author |
| lied while about il TO make n general |
| investigation of the working of the Ha- |
waiian treaty. There is now threat |,
ened assault upon it by our rice grow |
ers, whom Congress generously protects |
| by duties equivalent to more than 100 |
per cent.
