We can argue, and have argued upou
the abstract principle Of reciprocity tC
these Islands: our arguments have beer
sound for We have written on the CONNER
cial basis as our Poi.st 1epPai. Moreover
We have shown that It Is not only the com
uercial utility Of the place that must b

When the Senator talks Of loss of 81,
O0o,000 annually. in revenue, We know thsi
he L talking wildly. We have shown re
peatedly how much OF our trade goes tC
the United States: how our steamers anE
trading vessels have been built there, how
. our supplies are mainly drawn from there
how our children are edueated there, how
uHch Of the profit made upon our product
goes there not into the pockets of the cap
ItalIst- but into the pockets of the small
farmer, the stock raiser, the ordinary mer
chant. Al this and more has been said
and yet Senator M0rril can get up IN tn
House and talk Of positive annual los
Of nearly S+0e0.000 of reEenle-T This /
Z clear enough and such arguments as tbs
Senator makes on this line are easily re
futed- our viglsnt friends IN Washington
and In many parts Of the United State:
are ready enough with both pen and tongI'
10 refute them
But when Senator Morrill, touches up9I
the undue influence Of Mr. Spreckels upol
the Government Of the country, he tOuchet
upon matters which are by No means q
defensIble. Il would have bean better tO
the country, better for the Kirg, better fO
