all clamoring for the good things to
be derived from international treaties
of commerce with the United States.
These are all vigorously opposed by
the Protectionists. IL is held, and
with good reason, that if any discri-
mination be made in favor of Hawaii,
the others will have good grounds
for complaint if they be left out in
the cold. There are undoubtedly
certain industries in the States that
need protection. In some instances
these industries can best be pro-
tccted by free trade in opening up
market in country whence rccip-
rocal benefits can be obtained. But
the rabid protectionist will not see
this. American manufactures must
be established and increased tenfold
even beyond the consumption of
our present population. Goods can
be manufactured, in these days of
progress and improved machinery,
far quicker than they can be con-
. sumed. The chief drawback to the
success of the Hawaiian Treaty is
found in the number of other treaties
that have sprung into existence.
Another important reason is said to
lie in the action of
HAWAIIAN MINISTER CARTER,
who has attempted to force the Ha-
waiian Treaty upon the public, in
order to ensure it's successful
passage for seven years, before the
other treaties were discussed. 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Carter is acting
under instructions from the Hawaiian
Government. Anyhow, hisS unex-
pected haste has aroused the ire of
the press throughout the country.
Naturally the Eastern papers, in the
interests of their sugar refners,
oppose the Hawaiian Treaty; but it
was hardly to have been expected
that there would be such an almost
unanimous howl from the city and
country press of California. There
is not one daily paper published in
San Francisco that now supports
your treaty. The Post, Call and
Bulletin have changed front; the
Chronicle is naturally more virulent
and bitter than ever; the other
papers remain discreetly silent. The
reason for the Posts change of tone
can be found in recent change
Of editorship, an old friend to the
Islands, and the best commercial
writer on this Coast, having been
removed during the campaign for
political reasons" The Call and
Bulletin, in the gran(ny) )diloquent
style were possibly afraid to stand
alone. What about the country
press of California? The reason for
theiropposition is found in the recent

shooting affray. The country quill
drivers, as a rule, are afraid of the
Chronicle; and one and all, with
out waiting to hear a word of
attempted justification on the other
side of the case, Immediately flew to
the assistance of De Young. 1t
was amusing to read some of their
editorial utterances on the subject.
They discoursed, learnedly as they
thought, on the Treaty, Island
matters, the price of sugar, retineries,
and even dragged in and blamed for
the shooting your King Kalakaua,
or ''Calico" as he was called by
tne Los Angeles Herdtd, a paper
that is not surpassed in this State
outside of San Francisco, and can
not claim ignorance as an excuse
for its malice aforethought. Certain
ly there has been combination OF
causes that will act injuriously in
the Hawaiian Treaty question. All
that can be done is to hope for the
best. Without the treaty YOU
planters would be in sorry plight
The Chronicle hopes to injurt
Spreckels because he has refused tt
submit to their attempts at black
mailing. 1t forgets that he can OBJ
tain enough sugar from Manila tt
