SCOp Your Sneezing.

Every patriotic voter in America
should work and pray, Oh! Lord,
deliver me from the clutches of the
INSCRIPTIONS, scheming partisan
demagogues. The time is here for
every honest voter to quit sneezlng
because his old partisan demagogue
takes snuff. Only a few days ago
one d. b. Henderson, Republican,
stated in speech that, or rather he,
took the following snuff:
"Now if the Democratic party
comes nearest your views, stand by
them. If the Republican party
does, stand by it; but don't go
fooling around with these side
shows. You had better go right
straight into the Democrat circus
like a man than be fooled with i'll

You see that he { Henderson now

lican friend, isn't it little singular

THE girls employed in the cereal
works at Akron, Ohio, having their
wages reduced SO per cent, issued
an appeal to the Knights of Labor,
which concludes as follows: eve
wish you to publish this company
far and near that it may warn the
people to kill trusts, or the trusts
will kill us and the country with
u.s." These girls received fair
wages until the firm employing
them was forced into the trust

that your party demagogues have SO
recently changed snuff? Democrat
friend, is it not also singular that
your party demagogues are using
the same snuff?
Democrat Campbell, of Ohio, in
speech recently said, eff you can't
vote for me, vote for Mckinley;
don't throw your vote away" Now
then, judging from the kind of
snuff Republican and Democrat
demagogues have taken up until re-
Gently, we are of the opinion that
the Republican or Democrat that
can now sneeze whenever Repub-
lican or Democratic demagogue
takes snuff, certainly has an un-
common constitution for sneezing.

CAPT. LLOYD writes again :

GENTLEMEN AND BROTHERS If you
remember, l wrote you some time
ago that the election in New York
between the two great fraudulent
parties would be about who was the
cause of New York not having a
chance to make some money out of
the worlds fair-anything to make
talk and divert the minds of the
people from the real issues-so votes
can be got cheap. The last AGITAT-
OR is very interesting. | am for
Washington, D. c., as the place for
the great conference of the wealth
producers to meet on the 22d Of
February, 1892, but would yield for
any place for the good of the cause.

In 1865 the average price o.
wheat was 81 40 per bushel, and the
average value of yield per acre was
$17.O6. In 1878 the average price
of wheat was II cents per bushel
and the value of the yield was SIC
per acre. The average yield pei
acre in 1865 was IL bushels. In
1878, 13 bushels. The number Of
bushels Of wheat per capita pro.
duced in 1865 was 4 1-2 bushels,
and in 1878, 5 bushels per capita.
Now this statement is taken from
document 1893, bureau of statistics,
treasury department, and is un'
doubted authority. From it we
discover that in thirteen years the
returns from wheat raising had de-
clined nearly one-half; and either
the farmers received too much for
wheat in 1865, or too little in 1878.
Farmers profits in 1865 were not
large, and so progt must have been
too small in 1878. What produced
the change? 1t was not the law of
supply and demand, for the demand
was almost exactly the same in 1878
as in 1865. 1t was not the cost of
production, for the cost in 1878 was,
with the exception of decline in
wages, the same as in 1865. The
cause must be sought for else
where, and we easily find it in con-
traction of the currency. From the
same authority as used here. and as
shown elsewhere, the currency was
at least double per capita in 1865
what it was in 1878. The meas
ures of values had been SO changed
as to increase the purchasing power
of the dollar one-half, and to that
extent a robbery had been perpe-
trated. Farm lands diminished in
value in proportion to the diminu-
ton in the price of farm products.
No other farm product gives any
better showing. All along the line
the farmer has been plundered by
congressional pirates, until the agri-
culturist is in sore distress, and yet
their condition does not even excite
the commiseration of plutocracy
and the ring Doodle politician.

Billie Mckinley.


Billie Mckinley and crew swing
around the circle, telling the people
that the Republican party is in favor
of an honest dollar worth 100 cents
not only now, but every day in the
year; not only worth 100 cents in
the United States, but worth 100
cents tn every market place in the
world. But sometimes the best of
lying experts Internationally, or &C
cidently, make mistake and there
by show their absurdity. So it
appears that Billie has shown up
some of the absurdities of their
pretentions. In recent speech he
made, he stated that "the average
price of Alp IL grains of silver to
the government for the last twelve
years has been 70 cents coined into
dollar and passed among its own
people as worth 100 cents" In the
same speech he said, "for | tell you
that a 10O-cent dollar won't associ-
ate with an S0-cent dollar; it won't
keep company with it; it never
did" Now notice that Billie and
the crew pretend to claim that the
Republican party stands for dollar,
not only worth 100 cents in the
United States, but in every market
in the world. Now then, is the
present 79-cent silver dollar coined
under Republican law (which Billie
and the party approve) worth 100
cents ii every market in the world?
If it is, then what becomes of the
Republican pretense that American
finance must be subject to the APP
proval of every market in the world!
If not, then is not Billie and the
Republican party self-convicted of
willfully attempting to deceive the
masses of the American people!
Now mark you that under Repub-
lican law, approved by the Repub-
lican pnrty, 4l2 IL grains of silver
is called an honest dollar, worth 100
cents. Now notice that according
to Billie McKinley's own statement
1.-The average price of 4l2 l-2 grains
of silver to the government for the
last twelve years has been 70 cents
coined into dollar" This, accor-
ding to Billie and the party, is the
dollar that has passed among the
people as an honest dollar, worth
100 cents. This 19-cent dollar has
been for twelve years associating
with the 100-csnt dollars of the
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-10-20

ceptable among the high-toned golt
aristocratic lOO-cent dollars, other
wise they would have kicked it GU
of their society. Now what hal
given a 79-cent dollar due credit fol
honesty among the upper ten 100
cent dollars: :? Is it not the govern
ment fiat that makes a 79-cent
dollar equal to lOO-cent dollar
If it is, then it's the government
fiat that makes it honest. If the
government fiat can make an honest
dollar out of 70 cents worth of sill
yer, then what's to hinder it from
making an honest dollar out of 25
cents worth of silver, or even
cents worth I? If it be a wrong fol
the government to place a fiat on
money, then by virtue of Republic
an law 70 cents Of 412 IL grain
silver dollar-is honest, and 81 cents
of that 412 1-2 grain silver dollar is
dishonest. This the Republican
howlers admit every time they cry
out against what they call fiat, OF
fiat money.
Further along in Billie McKin'
ley's speech he said "free and un-
limited coinage Of silver means less
money instead of more money.
You make a silver dollar that is
worth but IS cents intrinsically, un-
limited in it's coinage, and you
drive every form of money that is
worth 100 cents out of circulation"
1t does seem almost incredible
that such senseless nonsense could
come from a man that now poses as
the great Magog of the Republican
party. Place alongside this declar,
alton his statement that the
average value of the metal in sill
YER dollar has been for the last
twelve years 70 cents, and what
becomes of Billie's assertion that
"an SO-cent dollar will not circulate
alongside I00-cent dollar!
Hasn't the 79-cent dollar been
keeping company right along with
the gold, aristocratic 100 cent dollar
for twelve years p? This being true,
has anyone heard of a gold, aristo-
cratic lOO-cent dollar that has got
on it's ear and left the country on
account of the 19-cent dollar
Again, if our "79-cent dollar" is,
as Billie says, "good Tor 100 cents
in every market in the world" then
how can it be that free coinage of
silver would drive gold out of the
country? Would it increase the
dignity of lO0-cent dollar by leav-
ing the country? Would it lessen
the circulation How can it? Can
silver drive out gold without re-
naming in the country to take its

Nor long since we heard Repub-
lican vote er-straight say that his
way of ascertaining the truth was
by reading Republican paper and
a Democrat paper, and then strike
all average. This seemed to us to
be an admission that his party pa
pers and the Democratic papers
both lied +; but the process by
which he could average two lies
and thereby obtain the truth is
mystery to us. If there be such a
process, could it be proftably used
in procuring one sound egg out Of
two rotten ones.

fore, from friends connected with
the Hawaiian Board on Maui. The
preacher in charge in Honolulu
will continue on till other arrange
ment can be perfected.
At the meeting of the Hawaiian
Board, Tuesday evening, the Home
Committee, to whom the matter
had been referred, advised the
Board to accept the proposed trans
fer of the japanese NJ. E. Mission,
aud re assume the sole charge of
the work among the Japanese.
This was voted, and the following
statement adopted, now made pub
lie through the daily press by the
courtesy of the editor of the P. G..
ADVERTISER. The additional an
nual expenditure involved is at
least one thousand dollars, and the
Board appeals to it's constituency
for their approval of its action, and
generous increase of their contri-
buttons, that. this work of Japanese
evangelization may not suffer from
the withdrawal of the NJ. E. Mis-
sion.
RESOLVED, In view Of the facts
brought before US by the Home
Committee, this Board desires to
put on record it's grateful acknowl-
edgment of the valuable services
rendered by the japanese Mission
during the last four years in assist
ing this Board in carrying the
Gospel and its institutions to the
Japanese at the various stations
occupied by the M. E. Mission.
Now that through Providential
necessities that Mission feels con-
strained to withdraw from this
field, leaving this Board to carry
on this department of It's work
without their personal aid and
fraternal union, we wish to assure
them of our regret at the necessity
which thus brings to an end the
close relations of friendly co opera
ton under which their work has
been carried on in these Islands.
ave rejoice that the preachers
lately connected with the M. E.
Mission are so ready and willing
to continue IN the work under the
supervision of this Board, and we
assure them of our hearty SYM
pathy and support.
"In now resuming full charge of
this work of Japanese evangelical
ton, the Board takes this step, as
one to which they are unmistak-
ably called in the providence OF
God ani in doing this, we rely
humbly on Gods continued pres
ence and blessing, IN hope that the
Christian community at the islands
will sustain the Board in assuming
this increased burden of RESPONSE
bility, by increased contributions
and growing personal interest in
the christianization of the various
nationalities now resident at the
| Islands,"

speak as if they were opposed to
any segregation. The former actu-
ally speaks of "that unreasonable
dread of the disease which prevails
in these islands more than in any
other country in the world" Does
the Bishop wish to see among the
"Anglo Saxons and half-whites"
that deadly Indifference to the dis
ease which does so much evil in
helping to spread it among the
natives? And what does Mr..
Barnes mean by ga person whose
only sign of leprosy may be mus
cular contraction" sent to a place
to mix and associate with those
whose aspect is sufficient to send a
shudder through the frame of a
healthy person.
We do not know when Mr..
Barnes was in Molokai last or if he
were ever there at all, but to speak
in public of the leper settlement as
a place which "added to its other
| horrors is hell of lawlessness and
lust" is a little bit strong, and not
in accord with the reports of other
observers.
To speak of the sufferers at
Molokai as "torn from their homes
and exiled" is, though true in q
sense, not really a fair description
of the National system. Segrega'
ton is a necessity, a very cruel
necessity, and one of which the
cruelties should be minimized and
the hardships ameliorated by every
possible means, but still the separa
ton, with some of it's hardships, is
unavoidable, and unjustifiable Ian
guage is not the way to amend
anything.
We know that there are non
leprous persons among the lepers ir
MoIokoi living there voluntarily
aSd We know there are lepers there
who were not so when they first
went to the Settlement. Some o.
these, but not all, went there rather
than be separated from a parent
husband, wife or child; but there are
many there that have not now, MOI
ever have had, any such induce
ment. These are probably the
worst. behaved elements on the
place.

OF INTEREST TO MERCHANTS.

An interesting case is now pend
ing in the Supreme Court which
involves a question as to the le-
gality of contracts of sale made by
q seller not provided with the
license required by law. The
claimants are Buckingham 4 Hecht,
of San Francisco, and the defendant
is NJ. W. McChesney, assignee in
bankruptcy of W. Il. Daniels. The
goods were sold by one of those
drummers who are looked at by
Honolulu retail merchants with so
unfavorabIe an eye, and he had not
taken out the $500 license required
by the Act of 1888. The law pro-
vides that the assignee must give
notice of intention to contest a
claim within thirty days after it
has been filed. In the case under
discussion considerably more than
this period had elapsed, but the
Court has allowed a motion to pro-
ceed with the argument on the
claim, which will accordingly come
up soon on its merits. The ques-
ton is whether the failure to take
out a license on the part of the
vendor taints the contract with lille
gality, so that it cannot be enforced.
The point of law is nice one, and
retail dealers will doubtless await
the decision with interest.

The interview of a reporter of
the Pail Mall Gazette with Sister
Rose Gertrude, which we published
a few days ago, and the CORE
spondence to which it has given
rise, have once more attracted atten-
ton to the disease of leprosy, the
possibility of its cure and particu-
larly to its treatment in these
islands.
Not only has the medical profes-
sion, as represented here for the
last thirty years and more, given
it's attention generally to the
disease, but it has been studied by
scientific observers like Aiming,
has been treated by philanthropic
layman like Mr.. Clifford and a spe-
cialist like DR.. Lutz, and "ameliora-
ton" is still the only word to de-
scribe the results of the effort of
any or all of them.
But it is of the moral condition
of the leper settlement at Molokai
that we wish to speak at present.
Our report of the proceedings of
the Synod of the Anglican Church
was unavoidably brief, but we gave
the text of the resolution put by
the Rev. J. M. Silver and carried,
together with an authorization for
the bishop of the diocese to embody
the resolutions in a memorial to
Her Majesty the Queen and TO the
next legislature.
To those resolutions and memoir
ais we have nothing to object, ex.
cept that the first to grant the
facilities for "the employment of
remedial methods which have been
found beneficial elsewhere" has
always been and is now both the
principle and practice of the Gov.
eminent and boards of health oil
this kingdom. So also has the
prayer of the third resolution been
anticipated, while the second reso-
luton is an abstract assertion
which no one will cavil at.
But what we do very strongly
object to is the language used by
the reverend gentlemen in speak
ing to the resolution. Both the
Bishop and the Rev. Mr.. Barnes

WITHDRAWAL OF THE M. E. MISSION
(Communicated.)

Five years ago Rev. II. Miyama
came from San Francisco to Homo
lulu to inquire into the condition of
his countrymen, the Japanese la
borers, on these islands. A young
Japanese Christian who came with
the first company sent to the ISL
ands, and had been employed under
the direction of the Hawaiian
Board in caring for their welfare,
had told Of their religious needs in
such terms as to awaken the great
est interest and sympathy among
those connected with the M. E.
Mission in San Francisco. At that
time Sunday services and weekly
Y. NJ. G. A. meetings were held in
Queen Emma hall, for the benefit
of the japanese. Several had been
converted and baptised, and the in
tention of those connected with the
Hawaiian Board was to organize a
Japanese church, as had been done
among the Chinese.
But so much interest was reused
among the Japanese by Mr.. Mi
yama's visit that he was invited to
return and devote a year at least
to evangelistic labor. He accepted
the invitation, and labored earnest
ly in the work of Japanese evange-
lizatlon. When Rev. M. G. Harris,
superintendent of the Japanese M.
E. Mission, came to Honolulu, he
found so many were at that time
believing in Jesus for salvation, in
Guiding all the members of the Jap
anese Consulate, that he baptised
about twenty and organized a
branch of the M. E. Mission, with
Mr.. Miyama in charge, making ar
engagements to that effect with the
Hawaiian Board for cooperation
in Japanese evangelizatlon.
At the end of a year Mr.. Mi
yama returned to San Francisco.
Others have taken his place and
work for longer or shorter periods.
Other preaching stations have been
opened on Kauai and on Maui.
For a year Rev. A. n. Fisher re-
sided here as superintendent of the
work of the NJ. E. Mission. The
Hawaiian Board meanwhile has
found helpers to carry on the work
of Japanese evangelization on Ha-
waii, making Hilo the headquar-
tiers, with Rev. J. Osabe and three
assistants. A church has been
organized, and various educational
and charitable agencies put in sue
eessful operation.
At its last annual meeting the
California M. E. Conference came
to the conclusion that they had
better withdraw from the islands,
leaving the work as at frst!begun,
entirely in the charge of the Ha-
waiian Board and proposals to that
effect were laid before the Board
two months ago. Negotiations
were at once begun with the vari-
GUS Japanese M. E. preachers. The
Kauai preacher had decided previ-
ously on account Of his health to
return to Japan, the young men at
Spreckelsville and Eva wish to re-
turn to San Francisco to continue
their theological studies. The
preacher at Paia, will continue on,
receiving his support, as hereto
