The Mckinley high tariff has been in
operation for about year but we have yet
to hear of a single workman whose wages
have been increased by it. The American
ttn-plate factories have also failed to mater
ialize, Notwithstanding the heavy bounty in
the increased duty on tin which has been gen.
erously given by the Mckinley tariff to the
gentlemen who promised us American tin
at a low price. The only thing that has been
lowered in price is sugar, and that because
the tariff was abolished. A high tariff can
not make low-priced necessaries of life. The
right thing for the people to do is to main
tain Democratic ascendancy everywhere, 30
as to ensure fair tariff when Democratic
President and Democratic Congress meet
together in Washington.

Senator Faulkner, Messrs. Chanucey
Black, Congressman Bynum and Lawrence
Gardner, Secretary of the National Associa-
ton of Democratic Clubs, have just returned
to Washington from missionary tour to the
Pacific coast. They travelled over 5000
miles and delivered speeches at thirty.six
meetings in thirty-6 days. Senator Faulk-
ner says the most promising feature of the
trip was the discovery of SO many young
men who believe in the principles of the
Democratic party. The majority of them
are men of intelligence, who have been
brought up Ito believe in the teachings OF
the Republican party. Their experiences in
the West and their daily contact with the
practical workings of the Mckinley bill has
opened their eyes to the true state of affairs,
and they have cast aside their ancestral ideas
and are thinking and acting for themselves.
1t is that class of men who appeared to be
most interested in the meetings where Sena-
tor Faulkner and his friends appeared.

From the following telegram it
will be seen that the American
Government has taken measures to
ascertain the views of the New
Zealand Government respecting the
new service for carrying the mails
between San Francisco and that
colony and the ports at which the
ships shall touch. It is presumable
that similar notice has been given
to the New South Wales and Vic
torian Governments:
Postmaster General Wanamaker has
informed the Postmaster General of New
Zealand that under the recent act o.
Congress to provide ocean mail service
between the United States and foreign
ports, limiting the compensation to out
ward voyages, he is endeavoring to ar
range for fast fortnightly service be
tween San Francisco and Australia via
New Zealand, calling alternately at Wei
lington and Auckland. He says he trans
mits this information in order that the
Postmaster General of New Zealand, i
he thinks best, may cooperate in secur
ing quicker communication and regulat
ing the return voyages in the interests o
his country.

KOHALA NOTES.

It looks as though there was fire
fend in the district. On the night of
July 26th the house occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Tulloch was destroyed by
fire, everything being consumed
total loss. The occupants had been
absent several days-one on business
connected with the telephone, and
the other on visit. A meeting was
held in the Courthouse to consider
the matter of incendiary fires, but
nothing was done. A subscription
was circulated in behalf of Mr.. Tul-
loch, and it is said that $3.50 was col
lected.
Telephone connection through to
Hilo was effected August LIST.
On July 18th very pleasant and
we'll attended party was given by
Mrs g. S. Kynnersley and Mrs.
Wallace, at the house of the former.
There are good reasons why work
on the road across Walachia gulch,
complained of by Kenehu," has
been delayed, and that on the road
in Amakea continued. It is but right
that an unfinished job in the central
part of the district, where consider
able heavy carting is done, should
be completed. A road we'll made
will better stand wear and tear in
wet weather, and pay better in the
end, than one but poorly or cheaply
done-where the water can collect in
pools and wear into deep mud holes.
People living at the eastern side of
the district should also take notice
that a large portion of heavy road
work has been done on the gulches
in their end of the district before
complaining of the "selfish ex-
trav8gance of the Road Board,
or charging them with making work
for the hands on certain plantation
during slack times, when everyone
knows that it is very fortunate for
the Road Board that there are slack
times when gangs of men from these
plantations are available for doing
those heavy jobs of work on the
roads.
Furthermore, when the Road Board
finds it impossible to get a foot of
hill or other land for the purpose of
making improvements without pay
ing the highest price therefor, it GER
tainly is no encouragement to under
take such work. People who have
no public spirit-a seemingly scarce
commodity in this district should
not ask too much
There has been rain. enough here
now to make planting safe, and the
growing crops begin to look a little
greener than they did a few weeks
ago.

hope yet to improve it up
to FIVE Or more acres, for with
Mr.. Toppan's system of degunlming
it is not necessary for the decorti-
eating machine to strip the stalks
of all woody matter so absolutely
as has been the object with most
inventors of decorticators, because
the subsequent boiling lessons and
brings away all woody matter.
Mr.. Stubs says that when the
machine is invented that will get
ramie ready for the market econo-
mically it will be great blessing
to the world, in which we agree
with him, but we think him mis-
taken IN saying that the inventor
can collect the prize of $4,000
offered by the British Government
for such a machine, beng under
the impression that a portion of
this sum was awarded for an inn
proved machine, and the rest was
withdrawn. However, whoever
puts ramie fabrics into the market
economically will not have to de-
pend upon any government for a
reward.
Again, Mr.. Stubs says, "once
planted it is almost impossible to
get it out" We may quote Mr.. J.
K. Farley of Koloa, Kauai, for ex-
perience the opposite of this.
But now we will see what else
Mr.. Stubs says even of the ma
chine which he has seen. "Each
one does what it claims to do-gets
the tissue and woody parts out
and prepares and bleaches the
fibre, each one produces
much better and finer fibre than
can ever be produced in China by
the wet rotting process, but until
you can "get through ten or fif'
teen acres a day it will not be pro-
fitable."
Yet he says it is "easy to gel
five or six crops year." it needs
very little water and is a hardy
plant, and "lt grew luxuriantly
there will never be any trouble
about that part of it"
Now if the Hawaiian Company'l
decorticating machine, followed by
boiling and chemical treatment by
Toppan's will do what it is claim
ed, we may take Mr.. Stnbbs
account as eminently favorable te
the value of this new industry.

A COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH THE

We have several times had occa.
sion to censure the Ka Leo for its
blackguardism. It is a relief to
find in its columns a grain of sober
sense.
We quote elsewhere from a Ka
Leo editorial, written in a some
what festive style, which contains
more truth than poetry.

this is a "golden opportunity"

thing in American politics at pres
ent.

is the time.

this matter at once, they will be
neglecting their duty. and the
country will hold them account.

Give us free trade, and the PEG
pie will do the rest.
Everybody wants it. Nobody
opposes it.
The United States is willing tc
give it to US.
Why do we wait ?

your opportunity. Do not let the
"wave roll by" but take the tide
at it's food and get US free trade
and you will have the united back

RAMIE AGAIN.

Our attention has been directed
to an article on the subject or ra-
mic. printed in the Weekly Exam
iner of San Francisco, giving the
opinion of Mr.. William G. Stubs.
the director of the Loulslanian
Sugar Experiment Station.
By the use of headlines and
large print, farmers are warned
against ramie for sundry reasons,
some of which, at all events, do not
really exist in the actual experience
of ramie cultivators.
Mr.. W. G. Stubs is no doubt a
very intelligent man of consider
able experience in cultivation in
general, and not without expert
ence of ramie, but, after all, what
he does say does not really make a
very formidable Indictment, be-
cause that which condemns the en-
deavor to grow this staple is
largely based on negative evidence,
whilst whatever he admits in It's
favor stands upon solid experience.
Mr.. Stubs says: "The EXPOSE
ton OF 1885 at New Orleans gave
ramie-culture great boom in our
State. Some ramie cloth and fibre
were shown there, as a matter of
fact. l exhibited card which il.
Illustrated the whole process, from
the gathering of the plant to the
manufacture of fabrics" So far
good, but further on he states: "No
machine yet tried has been able to
work over an acre day." This
statement should stand thus: ~
have never seen" any machine tried
which would do so and so. Now
we are assured that the Hawaiian
Ramie Company's machine will
work over two acres, and they
