REDuCED BY REPUBLICANS.
Articles Not Produced in America Put
ON the Free List

Articles Not Produced in America Put
on the Free List.
One Of the Democratic party's favorite
modes of attempting to impose upon I'M
informed voters is to assert that our pres
ent tariff is war" tariff, and that the
Republicans never have consented and
never will consent to change it. How
false such assertions are the Nashua On.
H Telegraph very neatly shows in this
compact statement Of some of the tariff
changes for which the Republican party
is responsible:
The Republican party reduced the duty
on steel rails from $26 to ST..
The Republican party abolished the
duty on coffee.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on tea.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on hides.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on camphor.
The Republican party abolished theduty
on indigo.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on macaroni.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on nutmegs.
The Republican party abolished the duty
on bleaching powders.
The Republican party put sago on the
free list
The Republican party put shellac on the
free list.
The Republican party put raw silk on
the free list.
The Republican party put tin bars on
the free list.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on anthracite coal and reduced the
duty on bituininous from 81 % to IS cents
per ton.
These are some of the things which the
Bourbon shriekers about the "war tariff
never refer to.-Boston Journal.

would get things cheaper, and that our

The old farmer listened to it respectfully
and said nothing until the wind. so to
speak, blew itself out Then he said:
They always used to tell me that it
was cheaper to buy potatoes at ten cents a
bushel than to raise them; but, my friend,

Clexeland,s Ponnlaritx.

The New York Sun, which is probably
the most vigorous Democratic paper in the
country, is advocating the election of
Cleveland and Thurman. In 1884, after
the Presidential election, the editor of
the Sun made these stinging observa-
tions:
Grover Cleveland was beaten in his own
ward. If he had been running for Alder
man he would have been rejected by his
nearest neighbors.
city. If he had been running this year
for Mayor of Buffalo, the votes of his fell
low citizens would have declared him un-
worthy to fill that office.
Grover Cleveland was beaten in his own
county. If he had been running again for
Sheriff of Erie, the people of that county
would have expressed their preference for
some other hangman.
Grover Cleveland was beaten in his own
Congressional District.
Grover Cleveland narrowly escaped de-
feat in his own State The people of New
York have had an opportunity to study
him. He has only minority of the votes
of New Workers; he lacks many thousands
of a majority. If he had been running
once more for Governor he would have
been beaten by the ballots of the men who
know him best. He was nominated for
President on the assurance of his managers
that he was the one man able to carry
New York for the Democracy. The vote
shows that these pretentions as 10 his
strength at home were absolutely un-
founded. Grover Cleveland did not pull
the Democratic party through He was
pulled through in spite of himself by the
anti-Democratic voters who had grudges
and animosities against Mr.. Blaine; and a
| very tight squeeze it was after all.
Just few hundred votes the other way
would have beaten Grover Cleveland in
the United States for President of the
United States.
After the electionin November next the
Sun will be able to introduce these para
graphs without changing more than hal
! dozen.

the Present Tariff Issue.
George L. Converse, of Columbus, is
widely known from the fact that for three
successive terms he represented the capital
district of Ohio in Congress. Mr.. Con-
verse made a good record on the floor of
the House, attained prominence in the
councils of the national Democracy, and

elected. In recent conversation, Mr..
Converse said:
I" have always regarded New York.
New jersey and Connecticut as tariff
States, and, if | am not greatly mistaken,
they will so declare themselves in No
vember. The manifold interests in those
States, and the vast amount of capital in
vested, will in the very nature of things

principles. The platform should have been
Identical with that of 1884, which declared
for tariff not below point to allow
Americans to successfully compete with
foreign manufacturers. Successfully in
this sense meant great deal. 1t meant
that American industries, American wage
workers and manufacturers should not be
put on the defensive, but rather that they
should, all things considered, have an ad-
vantage over foreign labor. Without that
declaration of principles Grover Cleveland
would never have been elected. The pro-
tectiye feature of the platform 1884 gave
Mr.. Cleveland support that he would not
have received otherwise. Had the pro-
tective plank Of the platform of 1884 been
adopted by the St. Louis Convention, Mr..
Cleveland could have been reelected but

ing that the Hawaiian Commercial
and Industrial Company had been
registered in that metropolis, with a
capital of e250,0O0.
Meeting Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;, a
GAZETTE representative asked him if
the concern named above had any
thing in common with the Oahu
Colonization Company.
That gentleman replied that by a
late letter from London he had been
informed that it was contemplated to
start company of first-rate capital
lists, with the objects of forming sort
of bureau of information on matters
Hawaiian and of taking hold of
schemes ascertained to be sound, for
the development of the resources of
these Islands. He presumed it was
likely that the Hawaiian Commercial
and Industrial Company was the out
come of the project thus mooted. Fur
Their than that future advices would
have to be awaited to reveal, as to the
origin, purposes and scope of the

TUESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1888.

The Board of Health has estab-
lished a quarantine against vessels
arriving from the Coast under eigh
teen days. Regulations in that re-
gard are authoritatively published in
this issue. While in the opinion of
some people this action taken by the
Board may seem to be extreme, yet
the great bulk of public sentiment
must be that it is better by far that
the Board should err on that side
than that by inaction it should sub
ject so susceptible a community as
this one to visitation from an cpl
demic OF smallpox. 1t will be OBJ
served, too, that the Board of Health
reserves discretion in sundry matters
of quarantine. so as to enable opera
lions of the service to be conducted
without unnecessary inconvenience
to the public.

Departure of the steamer.

The departure of the Australia yes
terday brought large concourse to
the wharf. Several prominent citi-
zens were among the passengers and
some were profusely covered with leis.
Berger's band was at the scene in force
and played, as usual, well. An incl
dent of considerable importance to at
least two parties occurred. Just as
the men had commenced unhiteh-
ing the upper end of the gangway.
Mr.. Gonsalves and Officer Hon
kins stepped aboard and handed
a piece of paper to an officer of
the steamer. A Portuguese woman
owing a bill to Mr.. Gonsalves was
found in the hold. Officer Hopkins
tried TO bring the woman ashore but
came off without her, saying that a
200-pound woman was one too MANY
for him. The creditor, however, had
better success, as he soon followed the
police officer ashore, and shook
handful of gold coin that he had
secured by the expedition. The err
tain having fallen on this act. the
ship swung off and was away.

the great nations to which we look
for examples. Certainly affairs have
been very critical at times since the

have affairs in Great Britain, France,
and even the United States been, in
different sorts of cases, subject to
dangerous crises. The British Gov
eminent is still seen ruling Ireland
and part of Scotland with military

its republican system but barely
when it had been subjected to

only few weeks ago, Chicago had
to be filed with troops to prevent
anarchy at the execution of a parcel
of murderers. Another serious wrong
has been committed against this
country by San Francisco papers
quoting the irresponsible statements
of an anonymous correspondent in
AAOHOAu4u contemporary, SGOSSly
slandering the financial situation of
the Islands in order to neutralize the
effect of few plain facts of cheer
ing nature in the GAZETTE. This cor
respondence is quoted by the San

torial expression of the paper that
published it. Moreover, the same
press quotes statements of there
having been a counter-reyolution in
contemplation by the King, as COM

the GAZETTE for publishing rumors
somewhat similar but not nearly so
