DETROIT, Mich, May a. Clinton,
Clare county, and Walkerville, Oceana
county, towns of 100 inhabitants each,
are added to the list of those surround
ed by forest fires. In each case the de-
struction of the homes of the inhabit-
ants was accompanied by heavy loss to
the lumber firms having sawmills at
the places named The loss to these
firms on buildings and machinery
amounts to over 500, 600. In addition
to this an amount not easily to be reck-
oned has been lost in the destruction Of
the forests.
At present there is little hope that
the fire can soon be stayed, and the en-
tire lumber district of four or five
counties lies at its mercy. There has
been little rain this season, and the
country is in the same condition it was
in when it was devastated in 1871.

FLAMES II WISCONSIN.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, May 14.-Fires
have moved a pathway from the st.
Louis river to the south shore Of Lake
Superior. extending over a territory
from two to twenty miles in width.
The damage to property can not be es-
timated at this time, but the bulk of
the loss will rest in standing pine de-
stroyed and logs already cut and ready
for the saw.
At present the greatest damage is re-
ported from along the line of the
Omaha railroad, on both sides of which
and extending to Lake Superior on the
north the fire is still raging fiercely.
Late last night a report reached the
city that S. NJ. Stockings camps near
the Brule river and 2, 600, 900 feet of logs
had been burned. Mr.. Stocking says
that from all he can learn the damage
in the timbered districts east of Superior
has been very heavy.
Word came from the south shore that
the fire was rapidly reaching out in the
direction of several million feet of logs
belonging to the Peyton, Kimball &
Dardry Lumber Co. Over 100 square
miles of virgin forest has been utterly
destroyed and the head of one logging
firm puts the losses at $500, 600 in
standing timber

And in similar ratio throughout most
of the employments- The average diff
ference in favor of America is little
more than 100 per cent.
The extra cost of living here, on the
three main items, rent, food and cloth
ing, in the average of cities and towns
where the above industries are carried
on. is fraction over II per cent.
The difference, therefore, in the pur-
chasing power of wages is So per cent
in favor of the protected country over
the free trade country.

Cheapness.

The Press has repeatedly enunciated
the doctrine that so long as we have
spare land upon which to build manu-
factories, and idle labor seeking employ
ment, it is essential to the general vel.
fare of the republic that we should
manufacture at home and not send the
money abroad. Democratic teachings
and policies are in direct opposition to
this. The leaders of the democracy say
the first essential is cheapness; that it
is matter of no consequence where an
article comes from SO long as it is cheap.
To these gentlemen this table showing
the average annual importation of GER
tain manufactures into the United
States for five years has no significance:

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY


| Quite Different from Brazilian Reciprocaty
| -Cansda's Exports 60 the United States
Tho Free List Of Both Countries.
Reciprocity with Canada would be a
thing quite different from reciprocity
with Brazil. Canada produces very little,
! if anything. which we need and cannot
ourselves produce. Unrestricted recip-
rocity with her would, indeed, be a sur
render Of the principle of protection.
! One of the prominent features of the
new tariff bill is the increase in the
height of the tariff wall along the Cana
dian frontier. The legislators who
stand for the principle of protection in
framing tariff bill pronounced stiff
duty on Canadian products essential
to the policy of protection. To abolish
these duties now would be change of
front on the tariff question.
The principal items in Canada's ex-
ports to the United States were last
year in round numb ers as follows:
Horses. sl.5CO 600; sheep, 100000; cattle.
5000: barley. 100000; rye and oatmeal
$4,000: wheat $4,000; coal, saOOG 900: lum.
Der, sa. 600 COO; beans s1.0)0000; mackerel and
salmon, s7O0O eggs G,0O0,OO0
These are, of course. the things which
Canada would expect to come into the
United States duty free under any recip-
make. Every one of them would come
into direct competition with an Ameri-
can industry. The farmer especially
would be hurt. We have already tried
the experiment of Canadian reciprocity.
A treaty was in force between this
country and Canada from 1855 to 1866.
A glance at its provisions ought to con-
vince any farmer that we do not want
any more of it. The following articles
were on the free lists of both countries:
Grain. -four and breadstufs of all kinds; ami
mails OF all kinds; fresh, smoked and sailed
meats; cotton wool. seeds and vegetables; un-
dried fruits and dried fruits; fish of all kinds;
products of fish and all other creatures living
in the water: poultry and eggs; hides, furs,
skins and tails undressed; stone and marble In
its crude or unwrought state; slate. butter,
cheese and tallow; lard. bones and manures;
ores Of metals Of all kinds; coal pitch, tar.
turpentine and ashes; timber and lumber Of
all kinds, round, hewed and sawed, unmanu-
featured in whole or in part; frewood; plants,
shrubs and trees; pelts, wool, fish oil: rice.
broom corn and bark; gypsum. ground and un.
ground: hewn. wrought or unwrOught burr or
grindstones; dyestuf1s: fax, hemp and tow I'M
manufactured; manufactured tobacco and
rags.
Since the termination of this treaty
the Canadians have tried to negotiate
another. and sent commissioners to
Washington for the purpose. Their eff
forts were as unavailing as those of Sir
John Macdonald's commission may now
prove.

The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1891-02-26

has received the endorsement Of the
Supreme Court, the ultimate resort
of legal Interpretation in tue realm.
The Queen, in any event, has esta-
blished a precedent in the premises,
which must hereafter settle any SINH
lar case arising under the Constitu-
ton. The decision is not so much
one yindicating royal prerogative as
it is a legal rule for avoiding a pos
sible political contingency, which
might have thrown us into vortex
of disagreement and strife had the
necessary political forces been pre-
sent. These were happily absent and
the future is now amply protected
by well taken precedent establ shed
by the Supreme Court of the King
dom.
As patriotic and conscientious
citizens we cannot logically carp at
the action OF the Supreme Court.
No matter what personal opinions
are or may have been in the past, the
citizens of Hawaii must at least re-
member the disinterested stand and
opinion of the Supreme Court on the
veto question, and they will not fail
to see and admit in the present deci-
sion that our Supreme Court, irres-
pective of outside political and party
pressure, have proven they are fully
capable of giving decision, upon a
most important issue, in the light of
the facts and the constitution, as
adopted 10y the people of Hawaii with
out even the chance OF kingIy inter
ference.
There is little further to be said at
the present time. We have around
US the assurances of the future peace
and prosperity of the kingdom under
| the new regime, both Queenly and
Ministerial. There are no disturbing
factors which can be now possibly
brought into the field. The conclu-
sion reached yesterday has restored
business confidence generally, in
spite of the few disconnected growls
of partisans or party scribblers, who
have already committed themselves
in W iting to opinions which they
now find 1t would be illogical to
desert.

THURSDAY, FEB. 26, 1891.

Under the decision of the Hawai-
ian Supreme Court, rendered yester-
day, the late Ministry Immediately
teDdered their designations, which
were accepted by Her Majesty the
Queen.
In concluding their opinion the
Supreme Court say: 1--WE are of the
opinion that the death of His late
Majesty obliges you to tender your
designations to Her Majesty the
Queen" The decision of the Su-
preme Court was virtually unanimous,
but one of the Justices dissenting.
Shortly after the late Cabinet tend
cred their designations, Her Majesty
the Queen commissioned the follow
ing gentlemen: Hon. Samuel Parker,
Minister of Foreign Affairs; Charles
n. Spencer, Minister of Interior
(re-appointedD; Hon. Hermann A.
Widemann, Minister of Finance;
William Austin Whiting, Attorney
General.
There is no hesitancy in saying
that the above Cabinet will have the
confidence Of the country. While 1t
is, perhaps, too soon to judge of any
one of them from personal stand
point, it is already quite evident from
the general current of public opinion
that the new Cabinet is, upon the
whole, acceptable to both native Ha-
waiians and foreigners. The public,
at least, has this assurance: that the
new Cabinet is made up of we'll
known, reliable and responsible men.
Any political or party disagree
ments, which may have heretofore
obtained, have virtually been laid to
rest by the Queens good judgment
manifested in the present appoint
ments these have in no way aston
ished her friends, who are large
majority of the people, and the
Supreme Court.
Throughout the treatment of
somewhat unexpected, and more or
less critical, issue we believe Her
Majesty the Queen has mainly stood
upon safe and patriotic ground, in
the interests of the Kingdom at large
1t was such a belief which has with
held conservative people from enter
ing the field of political dispute, IN
necessarily opened, and which has in
the end confirmed their good judg-
northumberland in spite of street
rumors and partisan pleas.
The position taken by the Queen
proves that her comprehension and
judgment in the premises were
mainly correct. II is to her credit
that she called in the wisest and best
representative counsel available and
that she has, with tue aid of the Su
preme Court, reached solution of
vexed, if not critical question, which
will receive the almost universal en-
dorsement of the peonle Of Hawaii
and especially Of the commercial in
terests of the country. The latter
were already suffering from the agi-
tation of a public question, which
patriotism loudly demanded should
be settled in the quiet manner at last
happily reached.
That the Queens position and ac-
ton throughout have been most tenn
perate none will deny. The result
reached, taken in connection with
the newspaper utterances published,
is conclusive proof of this fact. In
addition TO this the Queens position
