ruptcy of prominent royalist lead
ers, is significantly suggestive that
the management of the country
was taken from their hands, nolens
volens, none too soon. After ten
years of spending without economy,
not only the resources of the coun-
try and all the available cash in
sight, but the bulk of large loans, the
details of whose getting and dis
bursement would make any but a
royalist blush.-after all this, and
after bringing the country to the
verge of national bankruptcy and
international dishonor, these poll
teal fellows, anti-American to the
backbone, have the assurance to
accuse the Provisional govern
ment of being poor! " The
pity of it, Iago," applies
with double force to the present
case of the prodigal spendthrift
ex-monarchy calling struggling Ha
waii 'poverty-stricken." Poverty
stricken the Provisional government
was, when it went into power, but
the redemption of Hawaii demand
ed that sacrifices be made to at
tone for the past and the govern
ment has made them. Public works
were suspended until the country
was placed upon its feet, after a
ten years carnival of spending by |
the royalists. 1t resisted the at
tempts of Mr.. Spreckels and the
ex-queen's supporters, leagued with
The sugar trust, to break down its
credit by demanding large pay
nents through the former financial
dictator of the islands. Within
'ix months the financial affairs of
he government began to rally, and
.oday, for the first time in decade,
he country is on a sound financial
oasis, with cash to pay its current
expenses, after settling up the de-
icits of the monarchy and provid-
ng for the resumption of necessary
public works.

ROYALIST COMMENT.

The Bulletin is greatly exercised
lest the Provisional government has
offered Minister Blount a studied
insult" by the Hawaiian band play
ing Marching Through Georgia
when the tug Eleu accompanied
the steamer Gaelic to the entrance
Of the harbor. The Bulletin criti-
cism was never written by an
American, it is safe to say, and will
doubtless cause a smile to play
around Minister Blount's lips when
ne reads it, as he will have the op-
portunity of doing. If there was
one point that was more repeat
edly brought to Minister Blount's
notice during his stay here than
any other, 1t was that local
United States politics and section
al differences had entirely dis
appeared among the American res
idents of Hawaii. On several oc-
casions Minister Blount took pains
to draw the attention of the writer
TO this very point, and he used
II as an illustration to show how
Americanism crystalized the pa
triotism of Americans residing
abroad without reference to differ
ences Of party principles and afili-
ations. Minister Blount often |
commented upon the fact that
Americans never fully appreciated |
the value of American institutions,
and the strength and force of the
American political idea, dominent
in western civilization, until they
had the chance to view them
and their working after residence
in foreign countries. To Minister
Blount, as to the American resi-
dents in Hawaii, there is no north
no south. The tunes of March
ing through Georgia" and Yankee
Doodle" have the same patriotic
significance to Minister Blount and
the Americans of Hawaii. We are
sorry the Canadian-English-nation-
al reform-royalist-Bulletin combin-
alton attempts to make a political
distinction in American sentiment
on an issue which has been buried
long ago in the United States under
garlands of flowers and showers of
regretful tears dropped upon the
graves of the blue and the gray"
The attempt is worthy Of royalists,
but not of gentlemen.

The Sandwich Islands.

The Provisional Government of
the Sandwich Islands has sug-
gested the form of new treaty of
annexation to the United States
intended to meet the objections
urged against the. treaty originally
approved by President Harrison,
but withdrawn from the senate by
President Cleveland before ratifca-
ton. The new treaty provides for
absolute cession of the islands and
all government property. The ex-
listing government of the islands is
to be continued for five years but
its acts are to be subject to the
veto of an United States commits
sioner. Further Chinese immigra-
ton is prohibited, as well as entry
to the United States of Chinese
now resident in the Sandwich isl
ands. The debt of the Hawaiian
government is to be assumed by
the United States; but the inter
est thereon is to be payable by the
Hawaiians.
The patient attitude of the an
nexationists in Hawaii, and their
persistent desire for the protection
of the United States, are further
attested by this renewed offer.
Meantime, the authoritative report
of Minister Blount is awaited with
anxiety. The sugar interest, SO
far as it is represented by Mr..
Claus Spreckels, which was origin
ally charged with heading the an
movement, is now active
ly hostile to it.-Phil Record,
July 2Sth.

Rev. 0. P. Emerson received q
letter from Rev. A. Pail of Lahaina
by the Kinau last week, stating
that District Magistrate Daniels of
Wailuku had discharged Kamanu

that the case was clearly in their

the judges royalistic inclinatiOns.
Mr.. Richardson, attorney for the
royalists, advised his clients to

to August S, the date of writing,
they had not done so. Mr.. J. w.

is in receipt of the official text OF
the treaties Of commerce. entered
respectively, on the 4th of July,
and the 10Th of August, 1892, be-
tween the republic of Uruguay and
,he Argentine republic, with the
French republic, both of them pro-
claimed at Paris on the 10th Of
June ultimo.
France and Uruguay recipro-
cally guarantee to each other the
treatment upon the footing of the
most favored nation in everything
relating to the "domiciliation and
settlement of their respective citi-
zens in their respective territories,
and in all matters connected with
commerce, navigation, the impor-
tation, expectation and transit of
merchandise, the assessment and
payment of custom duties, and all
acts and operations required for the
carrying out of commerce or of any
industry, and the payment of taxes
or charges"
But the republic of Uruguay re-
serves the right to grant for her
own benefit, and whenever deemed
by her to be advisable, to either of
her neighbors, Brazil, the Argentine
republic, or Paraguay, special
commercial favors and advantages
without thereby emitting France to
claim the same privilege. This ex-
ception does not apply however to a
certain number of articles, such as
wines, manufactures of silk, wool |
or cotton, passementerie articles, |
refined sugar, prepared skins and |
furs, leather or skin articles, house |
furniture, implements, machinery
and in general all articles of mer-
chandise similar to the French,
which shall always fall under the
provision.
The coastwise trade in each
country is also exempted from the
operation of the treaty and left
subject exclusively to the respec-
tive municipal legislation.
The Franco-Argentine treaty,
which substantially contains no
more than one provision, stipulates
that no favor or immu-
nifty of any kind shall ever be
granted by either nation to the flag
or the commerce of another nation
the same favor or immu-
lity being per Sc and ipso facto
granted to the flag or commerce of
he Argentine republic, or of
France and that in consequence
hereof citizens, as well as vessels

LECTION of the other, will ever be

oms duties are concerned, upon 5
he same footing as the citizens, 6
,essels and merchandise most fa- I
'ored either by law or treaty. 7
Both treaties shall remain in I

At the annual meeting of the
Amazon Steam Navigation Co.. in
London recently, it was stated that
the trading results for the past
year had been most prosperous,
and that energetic measures had
been devised for the development
of increasing commerce. The first
step will be to order six new
steamers of the most advanced
type for the special requirements
of the navigation of the great rivers
of the Amazon valley. At different
points on the Amazon and its tri-
butaries new commercial centers
are springing up, and those previ-
ously existing are growing in popu-
lation and wealth. The city of
Manaos especially is now a place
of considerable importance.

SUGAR TARIFF.

| Messrs. Willett tEGray's circular
has this to say about the political
situation as it affects sugar: "Con-
gress assemblies August : in extra
session, and our Washington friends
say that the indications now are
that it will be one of the longest
sessions ever known. As soon as
the silver question is disposed of
the tariff question will be most
prominent. Respecting federal tax
alton, the difference between the
two parties may be stated as fol-
lows: The position of the demo
cratic party, as defined by the Chi
cago platform, upon which the
overwhelming majority of 1892 was
gained, is: 1st. Ascertain the value
of the goods to be imported. ID.
Ascertain the amount of revenue to
be raised from imports for the ex-
penses of the government. Sd. Fix
the rate and collect it without dis
elimination, preference and partial
ity: anything else is unjustifiable
and unconstitutional and invades
the rights of the citizen, and it is
unlawful as well as undemocratic.
That is clear and comprehensive
and what the Chicago platform de-
clared and what the neoDle an
proved.
''The republican position is dia-
metrically different. Tariff duties
should not be levied for the mere
purpose of revenue, but largely |
with view of promoting and pro- |
tecting American manufacturers
and mechanics from unfavorable /
foreign competition. The repub-
licans say that it is one of the pow
ers and duties of government to
protect the people who maintain it
from unfair foreign competition, as
well as from hostile foreign inva-
sion. The people, through their
representatives, impose the tax on
goods entering into American ports
from other countries, and they. have
the right (and it is natural that
they should exercise it), so to i'm
pose those duties that the interests
Of Americans will be favored, and
he interests of foreign rivals in the
same industries or pursuits dis
eliminated against. That is the
doctrine, and the tariff
policy now in operation in the
United States.
''ln changing the tariff from the
epublican to democratic position
Turing the coming session of Con-
5ress, it will be interesting to note
What can or cannot be done with
ugar, which can hardly be classed
IS at present within the strict linn
is of the republican policy, for the
epublicans in their revision of the
ariff by the Mckinley bill placed
aw sugars on the free list, and re-
-uced the protection of refinery
rom 80 per cent. to Il per cent,
7hile leaving a protection to other
of from 80 to 113
'er cent. 1t would seem from this =
hat the republicans left nothing !
Or the democratic party to take I
way from sugar, and it remains to
e seen if they will venture to put +
tax upon the entire American h
eople by adding duty to the cost n
f sugar to consumers" 81

International Information Re
ceived TO July I9, 1893.

From official trade statistics OF
the Argentine Republic for the first
quarter of the current calendar
wear it is seen that France, with an
increase of IS per cent. in exports,
has taken first place in the list of
nations trading with the confeder-
alton, displacing England, whose
increase of exports was about . per
cent. The United States shows an
increase of 81 per cent. in exports,
the largest per cent. increase of any
nation, and is now almost tie with
Italy for sixth place.

In his recent speech to congress,
the president of Chile intimated
that circumstances might arise
which would render it incumbent
on the government to consider to
what extent the restrictions of the
expectation of nitrate ought to be
permitted. Notwithstanding this
intimation, the nitrate combination
have, it is stated, resolved to re-
strict this years expectation to
q 100000 of Spanish quintals, and
the expectation of the first four
months of next years to 100000
of quintals. The object of the re-
striction is, of course, to keep up
the price of the article in the con.
suming markets. 1t is said that
the price desired is 60 per ton, or
thereabouts. Both the government
and consumers, however, are inter-
ested in preventing such restric-
tions, the former to avoid loss of
revenue, and the latter to secure
low prices. The existing condition
of things may be seriously affected
by the sale of government nitrate
properties, which, it is thought,
may be brought into the market
very shortly. 1T is reported says
the Chilean Times, that several
foreign syndicates are preparing to
enter the field, and, in addition.
attempt is being made to
induce Chilean capitalists to invest
their money in nitrate undertak-
lngs

The financial statements and
figures presented by the minister
of finance are as true as die, and
their publication has builded up
public opinion so strongly in the
governments favor that the needy
royalists, who feel the lack of for
mer government pap, have been
lately forced into the expedient of
suppression of facts and downright
misstatements, in & desperate en-
deavor to make a show against the
financial barrier builded against
their hopes of restoration by Min
lister S. NJ. Damon. The old trick
of calling for an itemized account
is repeated. Do the royalists re-
member that short time ago they
called for a detailed statement of
debts owed by the government ?
Do they remember what they
promised to show upon its receipt,
and how its production and publ
cation would prove the government
was insolvent, and its financial
statements were fabrications ?

FINANCIAL CRITICISM.

1t has been known for some time
that the financial management of
the Provisional government has
proved a political thorn in the roy
alist side. Contrary to the pro-
phecies of the royalists first and
Spreckels afterwards, the Provis-
ional government has persistently
refused to accommodate the ex-
queens supporters by busting"
Royalist prophecy was founded on
royalist experience, and the bitter
ness Of its failure lies in the fact
lately realized that the Provisional
government is not following the
private and public precedent, set
by the royalist gang, by going into
bankruptcy or offering to compro-
mise for few cents on the dollar.
Tor debts contracted IN the past.
At the same time there is some ex-
cuse for the pettish manner in
which sundry royalist scribes at
tempt to cover their chagrin by at
tacking every prominent American
connected with the Provisional
government at home or abroad.
They feel keenly the state of pow
erty they allege against the Pro-
visional government, forgetting
that it is no disgrace for even
royalists to be poor, provided they
are willing to acknowledge pow
erty and, like the government, live
within their means and in q small
way lay by provision for the future.

If squarely asked the question,
the Provisional government will
doubtless admit it is poor-has
been made so by the extravaganza
and thieving of the royalists under
the monarchy. The fact that the
fall Of the monarchy has been fol-
lowed by a general financial pinch
among the supporters of the ex-
queen, with the threatened bank

Within week Minister Damon
granted the royalist demand, and
laid before the councils the state
ment called for. The result was
these royalist critics shut up like
the political CLANS they are, and
have not uttered word about or
against Minister Damon's financial
statement from that day to this.
The claim now being made by
these same opponents of the Provi-
sional government, is that the sys-
tenn of fnanciering, which has by
sheer force of ability dragged the
government out of the mire and
debt of the monarchy, has done so
by illegal means. 1t is not "bad
financing" whatever that may
mean, which the royalists are kick
ing at now. It is "bad control, +"
which, when interpreted, means
that a crowd of irresponsible
spendthrift royalists are not al
lowed to handle the nations cash.
as was their wont under the rotten
monarchy. It means this and moth
ing more and all the kicking that
can be done against future good
government and economy in Hawaii
viii not profit the royalist crowd
of hungry hangers-on. Their day
has passed forever in these islands,
as the bulk Of the civilized world
has not been slow in discovering.
The royaIist cause failed with the
United States when the rovalists
failed in making a good financial
showing for the monarchy up to
the revolution Of 1898, which the
internal and national prosperity of
the country imperatively de-
manded shonld be made. :.
