TIE KING FoR TEMPERANCE.
His Majesty as Patron of the Hama
kua BIue Ribbon League -Transla-
tion of the Kings Letter to the
League.

Some time ago q letter was address
ed to His Majesty, by committee of
ladies of the Blue Ribbon League of
the district of Hamakua. Hawaii,
asking His Majesty to join them in
| their good work, and also TO become a
Father TO their League.
A sealed letter from His Majesty
was received, and Sunday, the 22d
inst, at the Paauhau Church, was set
as the time and place for opening and
reading the letter. At the appointed
Z time a large audience had collected
4 from all parts of the district, filling
I the church to its utmost capacity.
After the morning services We're over,
/ n short intermission was held, and
when the congregation was again
/ seated Hon. ]. x. haunamanO, His

der OF halakaua, and Judge J. 2.
NIiau, President OF the League, entered
the church bearing the royal letter,
the audience rising and singing the
national anthem. After prayer by
Rev Kapali, the royal letter was
opened and read, and interpreted in
English, and presented to the League
with appropriate remarks by the dele
gate, and duly responded TO by the
President of the League.
The following is a translation of His
Maiesty's letter:

The Sugar Tax and the Sugar
Trust,

There are less than twenty sugar
refining concerns in the United
States, and all but three of them are
supposed to be included in the new
sugar trust. The purpose of this
combination is to raise the price of
refined sugar and lower the cost to
the retners of raw sugar. Before
the establishment Of this trust there
was something like competition in
the raw sugar market. Even now.
however, this trust has succeeded in
lowering the price Of raw sugar and
at the same time been able to put I'D
the prlce Of refined sugar Cargoes
of sugar which would have brought
A. cents a pound three weeks ago.
fetched only A. cents a pound last
week. In the same time the price
per pound of granulated sugar had
increased II cents and of crushed
sugar nearly % cents. The sugar
trust is organized to bring about
these results. and it will continue so
until the law-naking power, in
obedience to a universal demand,
shall put an end to all enterprises of
this kind
The existence of the trust. how
ever, must be considered in connec-
ton with the duty on sugar. Pro
tectionists desire the repeal of the
sugar tax because it is a revenue
duty, and a few revenue reformers,
while admitting that it is almost en-
tirely a revenue tax, favor some re-
duction because it is an article of
necessary consumption which ought
to be made cheaper for the public.
In the face of the sugar trust it is
very grave question whether even
a total repeal of the duty would
make sugar cheaper article in the
market. 1t Is true that if the trust
so controls the manufacture of sugar
as to put an arbitrary price upon it,
the duty paid upon raw sugar may
be passed along and be added to the
artificial price, but the chances are
that, IN view of the eighty million
dollars extra profit which the refiners
propose to make yearly with the law
as it is, they viii not take off frac-
ton of a cent a pound should the
duty be reduced or entirely repealed.
By interfering with the sugar duty,
we run the risk of an export duty
likely to be imposed by sugar-pro-
ducing countries, as was the case
when we took off the coffee tax, and
there is every probability that the
sugar trust, as matters stand now,
VIII keep the price up, just as if the
sugar tax remained, and put the
amount of the duty in their own
pockets.
1t will be the idlest ceremony IN
the world for Congress to reduce or
repeal the sugar tax and so deprive
the treasury of a part or the whole of
some ffty-tive or sixty million dol
lars year, unless the price of sugar
Is reduced to the consumer, and it
seems to US more than probable that
so long as the sugar trust continues,
the. effect of reduction or repeal will
be to transfer Just so much of the
peoples money from the Federal
Treasury to the sugar refners.-
