it ever become law, for them to vote with
the fifty or sixty Democratic Representatives
who are trying TO get protection for certain
industries in their respective districts by
amending the bill, They will work to de
feat, not to amend the bill; if the dissatisfied
Democrats are patriotic enough to vote with
them against the entire bill, well and good
if not, let their constituents take their dose
Of free trade along with the rest of the coun.
try.
Mr.. Cleveland has not made a single new
friend for his Hawaiian policy. which has
few enough old ones heaven knows, by his
tardy answer to the demands Of the Senate
and House for the papers in the case Not
withstanding the great mystery with which |
the administration has sought to surround
the whole business, their is little in either
'he special message or the accompanvino
documents that was not previously known
and absolutely nothing that excuses the ex.
traordinary policy of the administration. Ifl
blood be shed in Hawsii, and the latest news
seem to indicate that it will be, the Ameri-
can people will rightfully hold Grover Cleve-
land responsible for it.
Democratic Representatives are already

spiraey ofsuch audacity and magnitSde as
to stagger belief" Mr.. Taylor does not say
so ia his memorial, but, ifthere was a CON
spiracy such as he charges, tue chief con-
spirator was Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Tavlor
says further in his memorial that the charges
upon which the Ohio pensioners were sus-
pended were "a part of that conspiracy and
were made without investigation or de
sire to investigate" The Democrats Of the
House committee ON invalid pensions, of

him ore is the Qished product of

in iron ore only raw material, but
converting it into pig iron it is the

mills find pig iron their raw material
and its conversion into commercial
iron again makes it finished pro-
duct of labor. So then, what is raw |

the finished product of labor in an
other, and tariff to be fair must
affect each branch alike. The laborer
IN the iron mines is entitled to as

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message
to Congress last Monday reveals a
sad position for President of this
country to place himself in. Had
his desire tOreplace the colored queen
upon the Hawaiian throne been based
upon patriotic or honest motives. he
would have submitted the entire
matter to the special session of Con.
gress, and let the American people
decide through their legislators ex
actly what injustice had been done
if any. But President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham, the political
"whatis-it," we're anxious to place
Harrison's Administration in false
position, that they overlooked the
fact that the Queen might possibly
refuse to be restored under any terms
less than absolute and unconditional /
surrenderand this is just where Pres.
