The Minister'S Story.

Rev. II. NJ. Eaton, writing to The
Machias Republican, relates an Incl
dent that occurred in the early days
of Maine Methodism, which illustrates
how easy it is for a man to imagine
that his own inclination is a mani
festation of the divine will. In the
days of which Mr.. Eaton writes, it
was the custom for young ministers
to consult their presiding elders before
taking wife. Once during a camp
meeting in eastern Maine, a young
minister approached the presiding el-
der and said he wished to be married
"Whom do you propose to marry2"
asked the elder. "Wen," said the
young man, 1.-The Lord has made
known to me very clearly that
should marry sister Mary Turner" II
know her WE'LL" said the elder; ''she
is a fine girl. I will see you again be-
fore the meeting closes" During the
week four other young ministers con-
suited the presiding elder on the sub
ject of marriage" Each of them gave
the name of the young woman to
whom he proposed to offer himself.
They had all prayed over the matter a
great deal, and each was certain that
it was Gods desire that he should
marry the person named. Neither of
the five young men knew that any
one else had consulted the elder on
that subject. On the last day of the
camp meeting, at noon, the elder call
ed the five young ministers to his tent
to receive his opinion. He said:
Now, brethren, it may be the will of
God for you to marry, but it is not his
will that five Methodist ministers
should marry that little sister Mary
Turner. "-Lewiston Journal.

A Merchants Protest.

"A MeTCn8nU'S EOtCSS'
Mr.. EDITOR: Your columns are al
ways open to anyone who may want
to air their ideas, etc. In last Satur-
days issue of the evening Bulletin is
a statement that Mr.. Lane has ar
rived to make a directory of the
Kingdom of Hawaii. As merchant
do not see what we want a direc-
tory for especially if it is going to be
anything like the one of 1888 got uI
as I am Informed by the same per
son. That directory was a use
less affair IN every respect to bust
ness man. For instance, it contained
the names of every Chinese cook
laundryman, gardener, laborer, etc.
in the city, in fact it ought to have
been called a Chinese directory
Honolulu is not yet ready for another
directory and 1 for one shall Ger
tainly not give the least support to it

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

The midsummer madness of the
Republicans in Congress seems to
be leading the party into excuses
beyond all measure. The last pro-
position of the Ways and Means
Committee instead of making mod
crate reduction in the tariff on wool
is actually to increase the present
duty. They have decided, it is
said, to take up the gauntlet which
has been thrown down. That is,
they think, it seems that their duty
as Legislators of spirit is to defy the
opinion of the American people.
This is what taking up the gauntlet
really means.
The committee also propose to
protect still more all sorts of Cali
forrc fruit by a general increase of
IL rate. This is strictly in accord
an.:e with the general spirit of all
the committees recommendations.
The question involved in these
matters is not that of Protection and
Free Trade. The wool manufac-
turers are good Protectionists and
Republicans too, but they object to
suffering commercial ruins and ex-
tlnction for the sake of the wool
growers.
In the face of all these tariff rails
ings the Republicans wish to COM
pete in the foreign markets and
have summoned Pan-American
Congress to abolish the laws of poll
teal economy, and enable the United
States to sell her high tariff pro-
tected manufactured articles in
South America while buying nothing
IN return. Truly, whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad.

The Pacific States Of
the United States are market for
all of Hawaiian products, and are
from 1000 to 10000 miles nearer
than any other market. This, Sc
cured by permanent reciprocity
treaty of free trade, is equivalent to
not less than Is per cent. on Ha-
waiian exports. Even should the
American Congress finally put the
sugar duty at not more than 80 per
cent, Hawaii would be fifty per
cent. better off with a California
market than she could possibly OBJ
tain elsewhere. The ocean and the
Almighty are against the Bulletin
theory. The solid facts knock away
the entire assumption of the Bulle-
tin about trade and treaty arrange
ments with distant countries. The
history of the past forty years is an
absolute proof that the commercial
prosperity of Hawaii is indissolubly
united with the commerce and pros
perity of California and the other
Pacific States of the United States.
But the Bulletin pretends to be
afraid that Hawaii might have to
give more advantages to the United
States than the former would receive
from the latter The Bulletin com
pletely ignores the fact that, under
the treaty, now the United States
takes from Hawaii $13,5OO,OOO pei
annum, while Hawaii takes from the
United States less than onethird OF
that sum. In other words, Hawaii is
now receiving from the United States
vastly more than she returns to the
United States, and thus has it been
for half a century.
| But the most palpable error Of the
long rigmarole Of the Bulletin is the
statement that the United States is
about to make free-trade treaties
with the South American Republics
and thus let in free sugar enough tC
swamp the sugar interests of Hawaii
The Bulletin does not seem to under
stand that at the present time, as
shown by the latest official figures
of the $12O,56O,OO0 imports into the
United States from South America
only $14,73O,O00 pay any duty what
ever, and thus 81 per cent. are ad
mitted absolutely free.
The Bulletin seems absolutely ig
norant Of the fact, that the South
American Republics produce but a
fractional part Of the sugar which
they need for their own consump
ton, and that the larger portion Of
them produce none at all, and that
they import millions of dollars worth
of sugar annually from Europe.
But we need not push farther thu
exposure of the absurdities of tn
Bulletin writer, who SO plainly indi
Gates that he has SO little under
standing of what he is talking about
1t is ludicrous, not to say grotesque
to see one who never raised a pount
of sugar or rice, nor owns an inch O
Hawaiian soil, attempt to tell Messrs
Baldwin, Bishop, Isenberg, Irwin
Young and Davies, that they do no
understand tn cir business interests
