As might have been expected, the no-pol-
icy principles in the above extract were
eagerly seized upon by the government
organ. With that fact as text, the
Bulletin says;

was to be expected, met with the approval OF
the party supporting the present state OF affairs.

present ministry, with no definite scheme of
improvement and no responsible exponents of
principles, will Just suit that section of the
community. While every intelligent and hon
est man will admit that some Of the ministerial
measures and works have been in the interest
of the country, no one can show that the gem
eral course of the ministry has been business
like and statesman-lke. The deranged hnan
ces of the kingdom, the impoverished treasury
and credit, and the trail of dictatorship from
within and without--all are results of bad
government, and all react with damage to
even the approvable operations of the ministry
We wish as strongly as our neighbor, TO edu'
cate public opinion up to the duties OF the time
But we want to know for what and for whom

The English speaking portion of the
Independent press has not shown of
late very harmonious regard for the
welfare of the party. But now that
each of us has had his say--his honest
say, let US agree to admit-would not
organization help all of us3 Organiza-
ton among newspaper editors, a dehni-
ton of the principles for which the
Independent press ought chiefly to
contend, and an agreement to differ
courteously, if at all, would make the
newspapers of Honolulu more re-
spected and consequently more in
huental. 1t is not only in party manage
ment that mistakes need to be corrected.
1t is human to err and even Independ-
ent editors are human enough in that
regard We have common cause
that is worth fighting for. The Press
has called attention to essential party
weakness. Forwarned is forearmed.
But, if we repeat the fatal mistake Of
trusting incompetent or selfish leaders,
if we permit ourselves to lose sight ol
the loltiest standard of public morality
we shall do SO at great risk; and those
of us who have pointed out the errors o.
our past, and have clearly indicated
how they may be avoided, will have
that most melancholy of human salts

If the writer were asked to name the
besetting sin of newspaper reformers, he
would answer smartness. The
word "smart' has several definitions,
Of which the most popular, in the
United States at least, is that OF the
immortal Artemus Ward The
truly smart man is never quite salts
fed until he has tried to assist light
ming by oiling the thunderbolts' Now
there is probably but one newspaper
writer on these islands who does not
think himself born to teach the nation
just how best to govern itself We take
to ourselves some credit for discover
ing this un.smart writer Because we
discovered him in the columns OF
dull and obsolescent contemporary a
paper that no one who possibly can
help it ever reads. which maintains a
large circulation because of its great
size, and consequent value to Chinese
laundrymen. As the newspaper writer
in question is probably the only writer
perhaps the only pers on in the
Hawaiian Kingdom, who has no cut
and dried plan for rcgcneratlng the
kingdom, we take great pleasure in
presenting his un-ideas to the readers
OF the Press, as a grateful relief from
the irritating smartness of all the other
newspaper writer's Of Honolulu. Iiat
we shall take equal pleasure in expos
ing its viciousness offers the best ap.
ulogy We can make for the introduc-
ton into these columns of stuff like
the following extract upon which we
propose to comment
1t is useless TO say that people resident her,
ought to regard this as their permanent home
and not as a residence more or less temporary
| in which to gain health or make money; that
men of all nationalities ought to merge theil
home procliyities in a combined effort to rescu'
Hawaii from its slough Of despond that there
ought to be regular party movements under skill
fuliand trusted party leaders. Butwe have not az
yet reached a state Of things which makes sucf
advice of the slightest practical use.
1t may be useless to say so; but it i:
right to say so. There can be no ad
vance without organization. There car
be no organization without leadership
Although the thinkers of the 1ndepen
dent party do not say that "peoplt

Low Tariff Prices.

Mr. P. E. Studebaker of the we'll known In
diana wagon making firm of Studebaker Bro
theirs recently gave the following recollections
Of tho prices that prevailed in the old days Of
democratic administration and low tariff:
remember distinctly the good times before
the war so often talked about We then had q
comparatively small public debt, and had the
revenue from the sales Of the public lands.
The tariff was low, but our industries were
lower still. We had tariff for revenue OK
clusively" and no war debt to pay, yet we paid
six cents per yard for calico when it was at its
lowest point Every manufactured article made
abroad cost more than it does now un-
der the present ''robber tariff" and the
only defense our people had again
the high price was in spinning and weaving
the most of their own goods. Farm hands
were paid at the highest $l3 per month Corn
~, but the squirt was only temporary, for it
fell back to 80 in few weeks. Horses sold at
from $35 to $50, and the best COWS could be
purchased at $15 to $50. Hogs sometimes
reached $3. Is per hundred, but the average
price from 1910 to 1860 was g. Butter sold
at from to 10 cents per pound aud eggs
ranged from 3 to 8 cents per dozen, and at
points remote from rivers and lines of trans
portatlOn there was no market for any farm
products except the cereals and live stock.
In those days we sold wagons at retail for $40
sold for $12 are now sold at Sc. Labor of
every kind commands p to 60 per cent, more
than it did then, while every manufactured
and imported article which labor uses or con-
sumes sells from 20 to 2O0 per cent. cheaper
than 1t did before the war, and the only arti-
cles which command higher prices are those
produced on the farm.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press, in a re-
cent article on grain inspection in the
northwes gave an account of the wide.
spread dissatisfaction existing among
the farmers of Minnesota and Dakota
relative to the system at present pre-
vailing of grain grading and elevating.
Atpresent it is claimed that the farmer is
completely in the hands of the elevator
men in the matter Of grading, and it is
claimed the farmers have no protection
against false weights or the various de-
vices by which the grades the farmers
are entitled to are locked for dirt.
dampness or other causes. It is ap-
parent that wide range of temptat ion
is offered for dishonest grading at the
expense of the farmers. The Pioneer
Press. approaching the interests in
volved in this matter, submits the fol-
lowing plan, proposed by cores
pondent Of that paper. The plan IS
briefly this: To make a law providing
for state grade, the appointment of a
state board of commissi oners and
of state inspectors, and to provide that
all wheat must be weighed on sea les
with an approved apparatus for re-
ceiving and holding the grain while it
is being weighed-scales to be in
spected and sealed-with criminal
punishment for violation. Each eleva
tor to have good cleaning apparatus,
with option to farmer to have grain
cleaned before selling, in case of dis
pute as to grade; and, finally (which is
OF the greatest mport ance), to make all
elevators grade the grain and give a re-
ceipt for what they receive.
