ticed. 1t a courageous attempt to rid our
people of a long maintained foreign monopo-
ly in the production of tin plate. pearl buttons,
silk plush, linens, lace, etc. Once or twice In
history the production of tin plate had
been attempted ami tie prices obtained by the
Welsh makers would have enabled our makers
20 produce il at profit. But the Welsh max
srs at once cut prices to point that drove the
American beginner out of the business, and.
when this was accomplished, again made their
own prices. A correspondent of the Industrial
World the official organ of the Welsh tin plate
workers, published at Swansea, in the issue of
June 10. 1S9a, advises new trial of these
methods. He says: DO not be deceived.
The victory of the Republicans at the polls
means the retention of the Mckinley bill, and
means the rapidly accruing loss of 50 per cent

el-METAlLISM DISCUSSED.
Relieves in Silver and Gold Dollars OF
Equal Value.

Relieves in Silver and Gold Dollars of
Equal Value.
The resolution of the convention in favor of hi
metallism declares think, the true and nee
essary conditions of a movement that has
upon these lines my cordial adherence and
support. am thoroughly convinced that the
free coinage of silver at such ratio TO gold as
will maintain the equality in the commercial
to the prosperity of all the great producing
and commercial natl rs of the world. The one
essential condition is that these dollars shall
have and retain an equal acceptability and
value in all commercial transactions
The General Principle Stated.
They not only medium of exchange,
but measure of values, and when two unequal
measures are called in law by the same name
commerce is unsettled and confused and the
unwary and ignorant are cheated. Dollars of
unequal commercial value will not circulate
together. The better dollar is withdrawn and
becomes mer handise The true interest of all
our people, and especially of the farmers and
working people who cannot closely obser Te
the money market, is that every dollar, paper
or coin. issued authorized by the govern
ment shall at all times and in all its uses be
the exact equivalent, not only in debt paying,
but in purchasing power, of any other dollar.
The international Conference.
/ am quite sure that if should now act
upon this subject, Independently of other ma
tons, would greatly promote their interests
and injure our own. Monetary conditions in
Europe within the last two years have, thin

favor of a larger use of silver, and / was much
pleased and encouraged by the cordlallty,
promptness and unanimity with which the IN
vitation of this government for an interna-
tional conference upon this subject was ac-
cepted by all the powers. We may not only
hope for but expect highly beneficial results
from this conference, which will now soon as

AS TO THE CENTRAL ISSUE.

No Necessity for Confusion in Regard to
the Rival Principles.
The declaration of the platform in favor of
..the American doctrine of protection" meets
my most hearty approval. TIE convention
did not adopt a schedule, but principle that
is to control all tariff schedules There may
be differences of opinion among protectionists
as to the rate upon particular articles neces-
sary to effect an equalization between wages
abroad and at hon In some not remote ma
tional campaigns the issue has been, or, more
correctly, has been made to appear to be, be-
tween high and low protective tariff, both
parties expressing some solicitous regard for
the wages Of our working people and for the
prosperity of domestic industries. But
under a more courageous leadership the Dem
ocratic party has now practically declared
that, il given power, it willenact tariff law
without any regard to its effect upon wages or
upon the capital invested in our great indus
tries
Democratic Platform Criticised.
IA review of the action of the Democratic
National convention is given, reciting the ma
jority report on resolutions, which declared
justifiable duty equal to the difference of
labor cost of an article in this and other
countries, and also declared that any reduc-
ton of duties should be careful not to injure
any domestic industries, many of which relied
on legislation for success: which propositions
were rejected by the convention.1
The overw helming rejection of these propo-
sitions, which had before received the sane
ton of Democratic national conventions,
was not more indicative of the new and more
courageous leadership to which the party has
now committed itself than the substitute
which was adopted. This substitute declares
that protective duties are unconstitutional
high protection, low protection-an unconsti-
tutional A Democratic congress holding this
view cannot enact. nor a Democratic president

Ehec. a. the Mckinley Law
And now few words in regard to the exist
ing tariff law, We are fort unately able to judge
of its influence III on production and prices by
market ports. The day of the prophet of
al~mity has been succeeded by that of the
trade reporter. An examination into the effect
of the law upon the prices of protected products
and of the cost of such articles enter into
the living of people of small means has been
made by senate comm ttee composed of lead
ing seuat of both parties, with the aid of the
best statisticians and the report, signed by all
the members of the committee, has been given
to the public. No such wide and careful in
quiry has ever before been made. These facts
appesr from the report;
The senate Report unmarried.
First-The cost of articles entering into the
of those earning less than 81 900 per annuE1
uad decreased up to May, ls92, "a per cent,
while in farm products there has been an in
crease in prices. owing in part to an increased
foreign demand and the opening of new mar
kets. In England, during the same period, the
cost of living increased l-9 per cent. Tested by
their power to purchase articles of necessity,
the earnings of our working people have never
been as great as they are row
Second-There has been an average advance
in the rate of wages of .15 of per cent.
Third-There has been advance in the
price of all farm products of 1867 per cent, and
Of all cereals 1888 per cent.
Conn issioner Peck's Report.
The ninth annual report of the chief of the
bureau of labor statistics of the state of New
York, DemocraticAs official, very recently
issued, strongly corroborates, as to that state,
the facts found by the senate COM
mittee. His extended inquiry shows that in
the year Immediately following the passage OF
the tariff act of 1890 the aggregate sum paid in
wages in that state S6.371 ,925 in excess-
and the aggregate production SO! ,3l5, ,l3O in ex-
cess of the preceding year. In view of this
showing of an increase IN wages, of a reduc-
tion in the cost of articles of common neces-
sity and of a marked advance in the prices of
agricultural products. it is plain that this tariff
law has not imposed burdens but has con-
ferred benefits upon the farmer and the work
ingman.

resolution referring to the Supreme
Court the question as to the num-
Der of votes required to pass a res
olution of want of confidence. The
opposition came into the House
full of a spirit of lamblike concili-
alton and the resolution was pro-
posed with a view to avoiding, if
possible, unnecessary conflict. The
opposition of the Attorney-General,
however, kindled flames which
might have burned all day if the
Minister of Foreign Affairs had not
put out tho fire by supporting
the resolution, a course which
seemed to produce a strained at
mosphere in the newly-formed Cab
met. Mr.. Parker's action in the
premises showed sound common
sense and was greatly to his credit.
The legal question-one of equal
delicacy and importanee-is now
in the hands of the Judges for de-
termination, and their opinion will
doubtless be communicated to the
Legislature at an early date.

In REFERRING to the decision
rendered by President Walker on
the Want of Confidence vote, we
characterized it as "weak." The
words used by the President in
making this decision were taken
to imply that he himself was in
clined to regard twenty-four as a
majority within the meaning of
Article Al of the Constitution, and
it was under the influence of this
impression that our judgment was
formed. We would never stamp a
ruling of the President as weak,
merely because it did not happen
to express the view maintained by
this paper.

REPRESENTATIVE NAwAHI.

Yesterday witnessed a scene in
the House more disgraceful than
anything which has been enacted
there during the course of the pres
ent session. Rep. Nawahi took the
floor when he was out of order, and
maintained it in defiance Of order, of
the rules OF the House, of the decis-
ion of the Vice-President and the
vote of the members for nearly half
an hour. He treated the authority
of the presiding officer with abso-
lutte contempt, and when the long
suffering patience of the latter was
finally exhausted, and he intimated
that he would have to call in the
Sergeant-at-Arms, the truculent
member turned to the crowd back
of the rail and called on them to
come to his aid.
We are entirely within bounds
in characterizing the course pur-
sued by Rep. Nawahi as that of a
miserable demagogue, and in a
high degree dangerous as well as
disgraceful. His appeal to the
crowd was an act of anarchy, and
direct Indictment to riot.
If the House has any respect for
itself, for it's rules, and for consti-
tutional order generally, it should
deal severely with the member
who has manifested such contu-
macious disregard for all of these.
We are sorry to state that Rep.
Nawahi is not the only sinner in
this respect, and though Rep.
White, Rep. Kaunamano and
others of that ilk have not dis
played a similar excess, yet the
exhibition of it in Rep. Nawahi
would not have been possible
without their tacit support.

THE MINORITY CABINET.

The resignation which those who
were disposed to think well of the
Minority Cabinet expected yester-
day, has not been heard from yet,
and is not likely to be as long as
the Ministers have any choice in
the matter, which probably will
not be long. We cannot believe
that the fervid adherence of rank
and station which the Hons. Neu-
mann and Macfarlane have so
loudly and so lately protested, was
all talk. Moreover, they must be
strangely constituted if the ex-
periences of the last few days have
lessened the original distate.
Their persistency is inscrutable,
unless we regard it as obedience to
a heaven-born call, or perhaps as
novel application of the principle
of minority representation.

ABOUT THE LOTTERY.
Some Able Remarks on the Evils
of Gambling.


of Gambling.
Suffer ne to add few weighty
expressions of opinion from we'll
known authorities. "The game
ster," said Horace Smith, "begins
by being dupe, speedily becomes
knave, and generally ends his
career as pauper." Gambling"
says Walter Savage Lander, sis
the origin of more extensive misery
than all other crimes put together"
Gambling" said an American
writer, l.. G. Judson, "blots out all
the nobler powers of the heart, par
alyzes its sensibilities to human
woe, sewers the sacred ties that
bind man to man, to woman, to
family, to community, to morals,
to religion, to social order, and to
country; it transforms men to
brutes, desperadoes, maniacs, mis-
anthfopists, and strips human ma
ture of all its dignity" "No pas
sion," said the German philoso-
pher, Knigg, "can lead to such ex-
tremities, or involve a man in such
a complicated train of crimes and
vices, and ruin families so con-
pletely as the baneful rage for
gambling; it produces and nour-
ishes all imaginable discraceful
sensations ; it is the most fertile
nursery of covetousness, envy, rage,
malice, Discrimination, falsehood,
and foolish reliance on blind for

iect which must have the atten-
ton Of the present legislature
or include the people of Ho-
nolulu and vicinity among the
"great unwashed." In Wal
kiki the people object to salt
water as a beverage, even
though the chill be taken off
with a dash of S. O. P; while a
little further townwards the
kick is against large deposits
of mud placed in each glass of
water. In Punahou district,
where artesian wells are as
plentiful as candidates for pub
lie office, the water is as scarce
as prizes in a lottery.
What's to be done?
The government calls upon
the people to economic in
using, what may now be called
a luxury-it asks the people to
be satisfied with bathing the
lawn twice a day and yourself
once a week. The next re-
quest will be to drink beef tea
and set calabashes to catch
rain water. 1t taxes the peo-
pie twenty-five dollars per
annum for a good water SER
vice then tells them not to use
the water. The government
asks the support of the people
in maintaining a GOOD water
supply. Has it ever occurred to
the government that we have
done more in our poor weak
way to give the people water
than any one else? Does it
recognize the fact that wher-
ever a steel Aermotor is in
use the people have all the
water they want and can battle
three times a day? Does it
realize that there is more real
worth in one galvanized steel
Aermotor than in all other
forms ofretrenchment? If not
we'll send it a circular that
would convince the statue OF
Kamehameha in front of the
Government House.
During the past week we
have taken more orders for
Aermotors than we ever have
in any week since we have
been the agents. The causes
are obvious; in neighborhoods
where there are artesian wells
persons who have the city
water (when there is any have
borrowed the artesian water tc
such an extent that the wells
are running low. That's one
reason; but why select the
Aermotor in preference to any
of the other wind mills occa
sionally advertised? Because
by constant experiments the
manufacturers have placed be.
fore the world the only perfect
wind motor. Made of galvan
lied steel it will last longer than
any other; the new oil box at
tachment reduces the bother
of oiling to a minimum. The
