ANNEXATION TO THE NATIVE

There is nothing more idle in the
statement that the native people of the
Islands would lose their independence
through annexation. The truth is that
they would gain it. Under the mon
arChy they but had the smallest and
most insecure part in the management
of their own political concerns. Their
voting privileges were greatly abridged
and narrowed. As subjects of a
crewn, their wishes touching the per
sonnet of the chief of state were not
consulted, and at the time of Kala-
kaua's so-Caled "eleCtion their pref
erenCes were ridiCued and trampled in
the dust At all times for fifty years
and more such measure of liberty as
native Hawailans enjoyed was in con-
slant danger of loss by foreign en-
CroaChment But for the ohense given
Admiral Thomas by Lord George
Paulet, when the latter reported his
seizure of this group to the Admiralty
direct rather than to the commander OF
the fleet, the British flag raised in this
capital half a century ago would not
have been lowered, and the natives to-
day could have had no more part in
home rule than do the MaoriS of New
Zealand and the felahs of Egypt. At
various times Hawaii has been in i'm
minent danger of the French. To
talk of the monarchy, therefore, as a
synonym for Hawaiian freedom is in
eftibly absurd. 1t was a synonym for
helpless exposure to foreign rapacity,
to immediate occupation by any power
at war on the Pacific which might need
IT'S points of vantage, to coercion by
even the commercial policy of contigu-
Gus nations. To accent all these attri-
butes of weakness there was, finally, a
sovereign so unnindful of the
rights and interests Of her people as to
make a written offer to sell them on,
to the haoLe for the usual thirty pieces
of silver required by the Judas of both
sexes as the price of treachery and be
traya.
As against national existence by the
Capricious sufferanCe of foreign states,
what does annexation to America pro
pose2 1t offers the Hawaiian the bene
fits, privileges and immunities of Amerl-
can citizenship Under the stars and
stripes he would be as safe from Europ
can or Asiatic or any other form OF
coercion as are the people of the District
of Columbia or of the State of Maine.
For the first time in his history he
would be free man. The flag above
him would enable him to look all
Europe in the face with composure,
conscious that, as an American, he had
the first of great powers at his back.
Whatever might be done to increase
the prosperity, add to the safeguards,
strengthen the policy, augment the
wealth, conserve the interests and eX-
pand the influence of the people of the
great republic would be done for him
and the native of Hawaii, no longer a
poor Kanaka, could stand as a man
among men, the political slave of none
the political equal Of any.

WAITING THE ISSUE

The formation of an Hawaiian cot,
fee company on great scale, like that
of 4 Honolulu nlt,Onal bank, is con
tingent upon stable government here.
So is the extension of the Oahu Rail
road and hundred other enterprises
of pith and moment. Men are ready,
capital is at hand, the field whitens
under the promise of a great financial
harvest; but stable government such as
capital needs as the basis of large
ventures has not yet been secured. TO
be sure, the Provisional Government
can hold its own indefinitely by virtue
of its strategic position and the require
ments Of the American policy; but
that is not what investment capital re-
quires. 1t is looking for such safe
guarded representative administration
as the success of the present political
movement in Hawaii would assure.
When that end is reached the flow of
gold in this direction will be in broad
and unabating tide, and will find use
not only upon coffee and sugar lands,
but in a thousand commercial, indus
trial and speculative undertakings.

The STAR has not been disposed, as
a rule, to discuss K. W. Wilcox stri-
ously. Still, it may serve a passing
humor to contrast his present attitude
with the sentiments he expressed at the
public meeting when the Annexation
Club was formed. The great and only
Robert then said, "Gentlemen | wish
to apologize for any imperfection in
expression, as | am not in the habit OF
speaking in English. AS the only Ha-
waiian present | will say that when |
begin an undertaking will stand to it
like a man. The time. for Hawaii S
sole independence has passed, but an
nexation to the United States will
mean liberty and independence, and,
perhaps, the salvation of the native
race" Night we suggest to the pro-
team and acrobatic Wilcox that this
would be good time for him to retire
to the gas tank?

decay; and these permanent improve
ments are measured by the amount Of
annual production in excess OF Consump-
tion. This, then, is the measure of the
worlds ability to pay interest. If any
one is able to pay greater rate he must
do so through robbing others by means
of speculation or otherwise. II one
agrees to pay more than the rBte Of this
natural increase the excess must be
liquidsted in bRnkru otCy in times Of
financial panic, which mast OCCUR every
few years.
But if private ownership Of land is
permitted, then the increase in the value
Of the land would be equal to the in
crease in population. The rate Of in
crease in population Of the globe can be
calculated very closely. By counting
land as private property it would at first
blush appear that greater rate OF in
terest could be paid for money, as money
can be made by borrowing at moderate
interest to buy land on speculation. But
this is fsllacy. The increase in the value
of land is always fictitious, and the fcti-
tious or speculative increase must be
liquidated in bankruptcy Rs was done at
the time Of the South Sea bubble, Lows
Louisiana bubble, the panics Of 1887
1857, 1873 and 1893.
If you pay $4,000 for an acre Of land,
it would produce no more potatoes than
it would il you had paid only 81. You
make the land yield more by the appi-
tion Of msnures, but that Is simply an
outlay of labor. Simply marking up the
value Of q corner lot on paper will not
make it yield more potatoes. If all the
land in the world were mortgsged at
$4,000 psr acre and at 6 per cent inter
est, would the ability Of mankind to pay
interest be any greater than nowP
When reduced to the last analysis it
always appears that all interest and all
profit must be paid by labor expended
upon land or raw material, and that
simply marking up Of values is only an
attempt to lift ones self over the fence
by the boot straps. Therefore it makes
no difference whether land is private
property or not, the ability of mankind to
p0y intersSt DiU GllOGyS be proportional to
the amount of the annual inoreGse in per-
npGlsnt improvements made upon land and
rGuO material. less the annual ICeGr and de-
cGy. When this is calculated for the
whole world it will be seen that the
ability Of the world to pay interest is
conndersbly less than l per cent per
annum. 1t is therefore mRthemRtically
demonstrable that all interest in excess

With National finances.

was nO6 kAe wrong Wneu no S@1~ ~H0
tariff was ''local ISSUE" For 100 years
high protective tariff has been right or
wrong according to the interests Of the
locality from which it was viewed
Before the abolition Of the "corn laws, "
England thought it right to place o high
tariff upon foreign breadstufis in order
70 protect British agriculture But after
the publication Of Adam Smiths "Wealth
Of Nations" and full and lengthy argu-
ment, it was shown that as England ia 8
small island and ig engaged in trade
with the whole world, and Rs British
manufacturing interests greatly pre-
dominated over British agricultural in
terests, it was better on the whole for
England to admit bresdstufs free Of
duty, 90 that factory hands could live
chesply and thus work for low wages
and enable English manufacturers to
underssll all others in the markets Of
the world. Thus, making virtue OF
necessity, England has since been in
favor Of free trade, claiming that what
was done from selE.interest was an aCt
Of worldwide philanthropy. II England
had no manufactures Of note and no
ocean trade, she would not open her
ports for free corn to compete with her
agriculture. Hence, tariff policy that
Ia now best for the British islands, with
extensive factories and q merchant ma
rine extending over all oceans, may not
be q good policy for q country like
the United States, which, as Gladstone
says, ia q "world in itself"
But in the United States we find that
New England and the older Atlantic
states want high tariff to protect them
30 that England may not undersell them.
This tariff they have had most Of the
time for fifty years or more, and under it
have grown ricb at the expense Of the
west and south, which have not yet been
able to accumulate sufficient capital to
build extensive factories for competition
with the east. Hence, RB the south and
west have no particular desire to tax
themselves to enrich the east, they de-
mand free trade; and thus the tariff
question becomes q local one as General
Hancock suggested.
But with q continued high tariff for
the United States and an abundance Of
cheap money, as was the case at the close
Of the war in 1866, the new states would
soon build extensive factories Of their
own and be in q measure independent Of
the east. AS the west and south have q
very productive soil they are capable OF
supporting q population much more
dense than the Atlantic states, Europe,
or the British Isles can sustain. And If
the people in the fertile Mississippi
valley once obtain capital to do their
own manufacturing, the producers,
manufacturers and consumers will be
brought together and be "world In
themselves" and therefore commercially
and financially independent Of New Eng
land as we'll az Of England and Europe.
This was foreseen by the east at the
close Of the war, and immediately they
started the movement to contract the
currency, make money Increasingly valu-
able, and thus keep the west and south
in financial subsection. The east 90,

Rs cotton, corn, wheat, wool and hides,
to be hauled to the Atlantic, there manu-
factured and the finished goods hauled
back again, thus paying for double trans
portation and many profits to middle
men,
This is the same kind of political
economy as that advocated by Gladstone
and the Golden club. England says TO
the United States: "It is good political
economy (Eor us to have you people on
the rich virgin soil Of America raise
cheap cotton, corn, wheat, pork and
beef. When you are ready to sell it our
Rothschilds and Bank Of England will
assist you by raising the rate Of discount
and making money scarce while talking
learnedly about finances. In fact, IL
you will with close attention read our
political economists, such as Smith,
Mill, Ricardo, and even the recapitulR-
tions of Buckle, you will see that with
consumate foresight we shall antici-
pate your wants, wishes, tastes and
necessities by Cultivating your taste for
broadcloths, silks, satins, wines, etc., so
that you will desire to outahine each
other, and will import our goods freely
on bills Of credit. But as the bills fall
due about harvest time, our banks will
advance the rate Of interest and sell
American securities freely to draw gold
from you 30 rapidly that all your papers
will with one voice advise farmers to sell
wheat, corn and cotton ohesply and
freely so as to stop the drain Of gold.
Don t you see the beauties Of political
economy as administered by usS You
sell cheap to avoid parting with your
gold, as our wise political economists
had predicted. We carry your raw ma
terisl in British ships and in the same
we return the finished goods; thus we
have the transportation charges both
ways together with middlemen's and
manufacturers profits. Don't you see
the advantages of free trader"
But il is 9 poor rule that does not
work two ways, and the American pro-
tected manufacturers in turn say: %The
kind of treatment with which England
fsvors us is about right for US to cd
minister to the west and south. We
want free trade with them just a. Eng
land does with as. We want the west
and south to be free to buy our manu-
factures, but not free to manufacture
for themselves; the same az England
wants us free to buy Of her but not free
to manufacture for ourselves. She con-
trolls MS with her superior money power
just as we control the west and south
with our superior money power. The
constitution Rlao helps us because it
prevents the new states from making
tariff laws against US Let the people Of
the southwest raise cheap raw material
and we will haul it and manufacture it
ct heavy cost to them, just as England
wants to do with Us. All we ask is that
the simple minded people out there allow
US to keep high tariff against England,
and We know England will help keep
money scarce, even IL they have to de-
monetize half Of it; for If by any means
q circulating medium should be plenty
and cheap as il was In 1865, the west
and south would put all their idle men
