unison with your colleagues?
7. Upon your return to Canada, the
land of your birth, in 1889, did you OF
not accept of the hospitality of Cana
dian Government officials, or of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, or both?
8. While absent in Canada in 1889
did you or not overstay your leave OF
absence and draw the salary of your
office for time not spent in attending
to the duties of that office, and with
neither legal nor moral right thereto?
8. During your late pilgrimage to
Canada did you or not use any
means or effort to inform your coll
leagues of your movements, plans or
work, as is customary and honorable
between members of one Cabinet?
10. Upon your return to this, the
second country of your adoption, and
when finally before His Late Majesty
and in the presence of your colleagues
you urged and prevailed upon him
not to sign the proposed treaty of
1889, did you, had you ever before, or
have you ever since given one square,
honest reason for your course?
II. Do you believe that change of
constitution is necessary to the health
and prosperity of this kingdom?
u. If you so believe, do you believe
that the present is a sensible and
proper time for agitating and urging
such a change?
In conclusion, permit me to say,
the location on the map, climate, soil
and class OF population of these islands
entitle them to peace and happiness.
You came from two great and
powerful nations to a small one.
Small as this kingdom is, however,
there live in it men of honOred names
and family-native Hawaiian as well
as of foreign descent, who are begin
ming to ask themselves: What does
this man Ashford mean?
1t is to be trusted that you appre-
ciate the seriousness of the situation.
They will look with eagerness for
your replies-especially, when you
are publicly informed of what is
being said of you.
Sir: 1t is said that you are a rene
gade Canadian.
1t is said that you are a renegade
American.
1t is said that you have already be.
trayed the United States in whose
hOspitable arms you always found
welcome, and Hawaii your second
country by adoption to the land of
your birth which you left with a
heart of loathing and hate.
1t is said that you seek to betray
Hawaii again.
The columns of this paper are open
to any answer you may make to the
questions asked of you-and will re-
main so until the I'd of February.
And be assured-that in the event
of your fairly explaining yourself to
fairly intelligent audience this
once,-the measure of abuse that has
been and is being heaped upon you
will be the measure of your reward.

Mr.. EDITOR: Recognizing the inn
possibility of a successful canvass
against the regularly organized forces
of the Mechanics Union with three
Independent candidates in the field,
as well as the gravity of the situation
created by the rabid misstatements
and revolutionary talk of Mr.. G.. w.
Ashford among the native Hawaiians
I consider it my duty to withdraw
from the candidacy on the Noble
ticket at the coming election.
Mr.. Henry Waterhouse having ex-
pressed his determination to con-
tinue the canvass, | would advise the
withdrawal of Mr., S. M. Kaaukai in
the interests of the National Reform
party, thus concentrating the loss to
that party on whatever man against
whom the Independent candidate
may be pitted.

their confidence in me, and the ADJ
vERTISER for the gentlemanly way
in which it treated my candidacy.
Believing my action to be for the best
interest of the community,

7,HECALLED SESSION OFCONGRESs

T,HECALLED SESSION OFCONGRESS
A more prudent method is now
under consideration in regard to 8
called session of congress. 1t is pro
posed that the new congress be called
together in March for the specific pur
pose of allowing Mr. Cleveland to APP
point two commissions, one to prepare
substitute for the present tariff and
another to revise the pension lists.
This work it is thought could be
done by September, to which time
congress would adjourn, and law
might Immediately be enacted on the
tariff question, which would or could
go into effect in its general features
by Jan. l, 1894, with some exceptions,
in order that certain lires of business
might have six months to adjust
themselves to the new order OF things
The revision of the pension rolls is
quite as important to an economic ad-
ministration of affairs as a revision of
the tariff. On the 30th of June, 1890,
there was total of surviving soldiers,
sailors, marines and widows of the
same of l 1858, 7O5, of whom probably
$4,000 have died since and doubtless
25e, 900 of them were of the state mill.
tia or emergency men who did not
serve ninety days and were not en-
titled to pensions, and there were
other thousands who were not hon.
ora bly, discharged and therefore ex-
cluded as pension claimants.
If the census reports are correct we
have already pensioned all the soldiers
with a few exceptions entitled to
pensions, but we nave as many
more now asking for pensions.
1t has been the main channel of
whole sale robbery, an it will have to
be checked or the government is
bound to 60 broke.
Both of these matters could be az
ranged for action by congress by the
first of September, 1898. The STATES
MAN has opposed called session Of
congress that was to be called for an
immediate and hurried action on the
tariff, because that would have been
nnwise and imprudent, but there can
be no objection to a called session,
limited in legislation, to the appoint
ment of the two commission for the
purposes named.

THE RETTCENCE OF MR. CLEVE.
LAND


Mr.. Cleveland is called to account
even by Democratic papers for not CIV
ing an intimation of his policy in his
speech at the Reform club in New
York last Saturday evening.
1t would have been rather bad taste
for Mr., Cleveland on that occasion to
anticipate the delivery of his inaugu
raj. His policy certainly ought to be
sufficiently known as there was but
one main issue on which there was
any difference in the party, add that
issue was put in no uncertain language
in the platform adopted by the con-
vention which nominated him.
Mr.. Cleveland would not have con-
sented to run without clear under
stanC ing that the Democratic party
were fully and unequivo.

tariff reform, a complete change of
the policy of government upon the
subject of tn" protective tariff, clean

THE ANTEOP1TON BILL.

1t is best to look closely into every
argument made by cotton buyers in
favor of the anti-option bill. 1t is oh
vious that the law will be of great ad-
vantage to the cotton buyer In the
South. 1t would force all manufac.
turers to buy cotton directly from
them, and they would not be subject
to any risk in a fall of cotton after
they, the cotton buyers, had pur-
chased as they now do.
Any candid cotton buyer will admit
that the bill, by becoming a law,
would increase his profits thousands
of dollars annually, besides ensuring
him against any risk. Every cotton
buyer in the South is in favor OF the
anti-option bill, and they are using all
their Influence and every argument
within their power to get congress to
pass the bill.
In the light of this fact
let us examine all argument
occupying three closely printed
columns in the Galveston News
of Dec. 18th inst, by Mr.. s. w.
Hampton, who admits that he is a
cotton buyer, or rather that he has
been engaged in that business for
many years.
His argument is based upon his
statement as fact that New York
controls the cotton market and has
the power at any time to "bear" the
market and reduce the price of cotton.
AS an illustration he takes the past
season He says prices opened in
Memphis Sept. 1, 1891 at s 3-8 cents
for middling and advanced for two
months until it reached 8 8 8 cents for
the same kind. New York, he charges,
manipulated the crop reports and

If Mr.. Cleveland was reticent as to
the policy, Roger Q. Mills was not.
His language was good, sound and
unmistakable English rammed into
sentences with the force of driving
wedge. Mr.. Mills tells you what the

of bravado or of triumph, but plainly

that coul Id not be misunderstood or

Mr.. Cleveland by his presence and
applause endorsed Mr.. Mills, and
what Mr.. Mills said more becomingly
than Mr.. Cleveland could have said

LAND MORTGAGES AND THE
TARIFF


The Globe-Democrat, in comment'
ing on the facts presented by Mr.
Waite, special agent of the Census
Bureau, upon the subject of farm and
town lot mortgages in the South and
West and the disappointment OF Dor
rowers, says it was not their fault
and "the blame does not belong to the
laws either, or to political considera-
tions of any kind"
1t was certainly the fault of some
of these farmers who sustained the
Republican party in power which
saddled heavy tax on them for the
benefit of Eastern manufacturers, and
there can be no doubt it was in a
great degree the fault of the laws as
embodied in the Mckinley tariff that
laid such a burden upon them that
they could not pay that tax, the inter-
est on the money borrowed, and give
their families decent support.
Mr.. Waite shows that the increase
of Indebtedness from 1880 to 1890 was
1876 per cent in the West and POI per
cent in the South and that the incum.
ORANGES Sc per cent on the value
of farms and 65 per cent
on the assessed value of town
lots. No doubt "these men were
anxious to borrow this money" and

tariff they could have so used the
money in improved farmins facilities
and Improvements on town lots to
meet the interest and work out the
principal, but that they have failed to
do it is the fault of the laws, that
made them pay out bonus on every
thing they bought and used on their
farms to other men who were not en-
gagged in agriculture, but who have
become enormously wealthy under
the receipt of that bonus on protected
The manufacturer has grown
wealthy, the farmer has been the
largest consumer, and if this tax that
the farmers of the West and South
have been paying from 1880 to 1890
to the factories of the
North and East, could have been re-
tanned by them and have been on
their side of the cash account, who
doubts that the farmer could not have
paid off his mortgages and neld his
land and lots now free from incum-
berance?
The amount he paid has made other
men rich; if he could have retained it,
and he could but TOR the high tariff,
he would have been just as rich as
