The Wilson economists are not content with
djscrrdifing thc Reciprocity conventions indi-
rcctly by urging repeal of the Aldrich sections
OF the Mckinley act. They are now de-
llbcratcly considering the expediency Of impos-
Ing duty upon raw sugar. and thereby nbro-
Eating the treaties outright The Democratic
members of the Committee on Ways and Means
were divided on this question when they pre-
pared the first draft of their measure. n strong
desire was manifested for the abolition OF the
bountics and the lcvying of an ad vaOrcm duty
Of 20 or - per cent crude sugar; but the
question was finally compromised by the reduc-
ton OF the duty on refined sugar onehalf, ana
the repeal Of the bounties oDe-eighth each year.
This compromisc Is unsatisfactory to many cc-
mcnts of the Democratic ma jority In the House.
and the tariif-smashcrs may become treaty
smashcrs before their bill reaches its final stage.
The results Of the Reciprocity policy are illus
tratcd in the great increase Of the export trade
with the Spanish West Indies For twenty-onc
months before the conventions went into effect
this trade amounted to S252S3 46i as has been
stated in our Washington dispatches. For an
equal period while the conventions were in
opcratlon the exports amounted To $40 .SG6,J4I.
This was an increase of Si7.5S5 OSI, or nearly
10 Der cent The flour trade was transferred 10
American millcrs. There was n marked in
crease In the consumption OF meat and food
products of all kinds from the United States.
The landing piers OF Havana and other ports
were piled high with American machinery.
Manufactures Of cotton, leather iron and glass
from the United States were received In stead
fly increasing proportions. Nearly everything
which the islands produced was sold IN the
American market. by the operation of the
Reciprocity conventions the islands were buy

What is wanted" says THE NewYork
World" In a congratulatory article on the
orga nzaton of the state Democracy" 'is a
united Democracy directed into Democratic
courses by Democratic agencies" The only
defect in this statement Is that it is slightly
inaccurate. II there is anything upon which the
large majority OF good citizens agree 1t IS In the
conviction that such a united Democracy as
that Is the one thing that is not wanted We
have had II for the last two or three years. and
the new organization is a protest against 1t. 1t
should be kept in mind that nothing but misgov-
ernment has ever come from successful united
Democracy. and no good has ever come out Of
the party except from its dissensions. 1t Is
united Democracy when honest men stand In
with thieves for the sake Of harmony In the
party. Then. look out. 1t Is when thieves fall
out that honest men get their dues.

Church at Makawas. on the island or Maui' Tor

Mr.. Guick writes earnestly and with full knowl-
edge. He Is especially indignant at the Presl-
dents assumption that the Queen was q "con-
stitutional ruler. when in fact she had uhuer-
taken to overthrow the constitution, ana at his
uncalled-for reflections on the citizens who re-
fused to allow her to have her own way. III

MR.. FTSU'S WTTHDR1WfL.

Asscmblyman Fish desires The Tribune to
announce his retirement from the Spcakcrshlp
contest. Mr.. Fish has made spirited and in
tcrestng canvass. But convinced that the con-
dtions do not favor him, and wishing 10 avoid
even the appearance Of conducting a factlOnal
campaign, he withdraws In the interest Of
party harmony and welfare. He wishes his
strength to contribute to the advantage Of the
public by making the Republican majority In
the Assembly q united and orderly body whose
energies are not consumed in promoting per-
sonal antagonisms, but in the achievement Of
sound reforms and wise public policies
Mr. Fish's public-sprited decision leaves As
