has been an aggregate net loss in the

country of almost FIVE BILLION

LARS less money circulated in the
ordinary channels of trade and COM
merce, in wages, in the manufacture
of goods,in the employment Of labor,
in the demand for goods, all of which
works round and round, diminishing
in its daily course the earnings of
the people. This is what the pres
ent Administration has done to the
country with its threat of Free-Trade.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
there was an uprising Of the people
this November The condition con-
fronting them has proved to be
vastly different from the ante-elec'

Five Billion Dollars Lost.

When we come to analyze the exact
position of the country comparing it
with a year ago the more we analyze
it the less reason is there for being
surprised at the result of the late
election. The people have carefully
examined into the condition that
confronts them, and they have found
that it is not a theory. The best
indication of the actual business
movement of the country is found in
the clearing house returns of the
banks. Let us see what these have
been since the present Administer
ton assumed office last March, ,as re-
ported to BrddStreets;

THE Evening Journal is an "amus-
ing little cuss" in journalism, and if
it's editorials we're more ingeniously
constructed, they might be taken
seriously; but thinking people know
better and the ignorant masses don't
read them. Here is a sample from
last Saturdays issue;
"The tariff duty increased on tin
raised the price of tin; the duty re-
duced on sugar reduced the price of
sugar. The consumers of sugar are
millions; they got the benefit and
are happy. The producers of sugar
and the coIored workingman are not
complaining that the industry is de-
stroyed. That is a simple and OBJ
vious lesson. 1t is impressed by the
fact that the tin mining industry, |
which the Reed Congress meant to
stimulate, has proved fraud; the
in plate mills have proved failures.
Congress could not locate the tin
mines and political demagOgues could
st manufacture tin plate"

The Hawaiian Situation.

Even the blind followers of Presi-
dent Cleveland are compelled to de-
nouce his policy L&fd the Ha-
waiian RepublieC The Philadel-
phia Record, one of the staunchest
y PpoTtazs of the present administra-
S5, & proS aims the policy of re-estab-
fishing thu Queen as an act Ofamaz-
ing folly in the following language;
A little further light was shed up
on the situation yesterday by the
apparently surreQtitiOus publication
of an abstract of t6eO BlOunt report,
which goes to show tAat the Provis-
ional Government was tho creature
of conspiracy in which the United
States Minister bore the leading
part, and to which United States
marines contributed the backbone.
As to this phase of the matter the
evidence is so contradictory that it
cannot he explained upon any other
than chat of deliberate lying either
upon the part OF the supporters of
the Queen or Of the defenders of the
Provisional Government.
But if it be granted that mistake
was made by landing United States
marines to help turn out the Queen
and install her successor. why
should another mistake be made
by the forcible turning out Of the
Provisional Government to install
the Queen? 1t has been conceded
that the present Government of the
islands is the best they ever had. In
the exercise of it's dominating iudu-
ence over the fortunes of the island
ers, whatever form of rule they may
establish for themselves. the United
States Government is bound to first
consult the public welfare. As long
as this government shall insist that
the independence of Hawaii must be
respected by all other powers it will
continue to exer0ise q qualified pro-
tectOrate which will be none the less
real because it is not a matter of
stipulation. The United States
would not be justified in ousting the
present authority in the islands to
set up a worse one. They would not
be justified in undertaking to right
one wrong by committing another.
If Liliuokalani have been aggrieved,
she has herself suggested the proper
method of reparation by offering for
amonetary consideration quit claim
of her monarchy. The United States,
by refusing to annex the islands, have
refused to take advantage of the OPP
portunity brought about by the
change Of government.
Happily, the failure Of the origi- |
nal plan to oYertnrn the existing gOy-
ernment of the Sandwich Islands by |
a sudden stroke Of diplomacy has
opened the way for a rectiiiOatlon of
the policy of the Administration, i'll
the Administration be wise enough /
to see it. To upset the present equit-
able rule and turn the islands over
to the joint control of an equally
odious monarchy and monopoly
would be an act of amazing folly"
Mr.. Blount went to the Sandwich
Islands last January as the especial
envoy of President Cleveland, and
bis first act was to hapl down the
American ag,and withdraw the sup
port of the United STATES from the
Provisional Government, which had
already been Nyecognized by four Of

WITH the Tariff issue settled and
reduced TO a Free-Trade basis, the
Industries of the United States, al
ready established might again resume
work. We might have to manufac-
ture because we have the investment

man: farewell to the stability Of
American labor; farewell TO the pros
porous communities which prospered
5sss the PEesence Of the pros
'oerous workman; farewell to the
growth of our manufactures and to
the Inauguration Of new enterprises
in the United States. The way
would be opened to long disastrous
strikes by discontented labor. Cap
ltal would avoid enterprises where
its profits depend upon the stabil-
ity Of labor, and in the end labor
and capital would both suffer. This
has already been inaugura led by the
strike on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
and before the business of this great
country will regain its usual chan
mel, the laboring men of the States
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey will
have lost thousands Of dollars in sal

Big Jump in Pardons.


The question of pardons is now receiving
considerable attention in various parts Of the
country, and the advisability of granting
them, except in extreme cases, as where an
injustice has been done man, is being dis.
aussed. In this state the number of pardons
granted has been considerably increased
during the administration of Governor Rey.
nolds 1t is probable that he has granted
three times as many as any of his immed.
i,te predecessors
The pardous issued by Governor Reynolds
up to January 1, 1893, which is as far as the
official records have been completed, are as
foi'e ws:
George Dill, assault with intent to kill.
Jerry Harrigan, respited until 1850.
Hezekiah Vickery, manslaughler.
George H Graham, maHslaughter.
Walter Coleman, attempted rape,
John c. Hemphill, assault and battery.
William c. Potts, larceny.
Joseph Townsend, lashes remitted.
Frances Gibson, assault and battery
Mary McComb, harboriug a female child
for immoral purposes.
Alfred Pratt, improperly using female
child
William Thompson, assault and battery.
Jonn A. Calvin, obtaining goods under
false pTetenses.
William J. Duuseith, assault with intent
to kill,
Charles Wilmer. interfering with an officer.
James Howell, larceny.
Francis Mccoy (Rig Frank), burglary.
Samuel Scho6eld and William Harris, as
sault and battery.
These pardons are shown on the governors
register, which is a record kept by the secre-
tarY of the state of all the official acts of the
governor. At the end of each year the book
IS written up rom the notes kept by the sec
retary Of the state. The record opposite each
pardon contains the reasons for granting the
pardon. The governor, under the law, has
the right to grant pardon and no one but
himself has to be satisfied

Reynolds has pardoned John L, Warren aud

The Democrats acknowledged that they
are afraid to submit their tariff bill to the
Democratic caucus Those in charge Of the
bill say that it would certainly be cut all to
pieces if it went before a caucus, and that
they prefer to rely upon the power of Mr.
Cleveland, whose ideas the bill fully repre-
sents, to force the bill through Congress and
silence the Democratic opposition thereto
Much depends upon the character of the
bill, which will presumably be made public
this week o. next, AS TO whether it can be
forced through Congress.

The ones psrdoned for murder were the
two I.ists-Lewis and Lewis T. They had
been in Jail for some time and were pardoned
on the plea of i'll health. Thus it will be
seen that in less than three years Of his term
Governor Reynolds has pardoned or remitted
lashes or respited three times as many cases
as Governor Bgg's did during his whole
term OF four years. IL is said that before
Governor Bigg's term the governors did not
extend exclusive clemency in more than
half dozen cases during their entire terms.
Continuing at the same rate of about eight
cases a year Governor Reynolds will have
pardoned thirty two persons or extended ex-
ecutive clemency Of some kind to thirty-two
persons.

It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Col. Frank Oury, a we'll known citizen of Tucson, was killed Tues
 day evening at Arivaca, near the
 Mexican boundary line, by a
 masked robber. He was in store
 with two other men when three masked Arizona Mexicans, one of whom was recognized, entered and demanded their money or their lives. Oury refused to give up, when he was shot twice, once through the shoulder and once through the neck. The murderers also fired at one of the men in the store, and at woman who was in her residence, in the rear of the store. The body was brought to Tucson for burial. The murderers fled for Sonora. Acting Governor c. M. Bruce has offered $1,000 re- ward for the apprehension of the murderers, who did not succeed in any money.

Lost a Finger.

Charlie, the Yuma Indian, who
 works for Lew Esselburn, took a little too much of Main street whiskey
 the other day. He was full of it, and like the average Yuma tramp, he wanted to "chaw," and meeting Camin, whilom friend of his on the bridge, he told him that he was going to kill him and eat him up. With out waiting to do the former, he pro- ceeded to do the latter, and grabbing Oamin's little finger, he bit it off near the first joint, at the same time try ing to get his whole hand in his mouth. The noise, cries and strug- gles, called in the passers by, who them, when CamiD went to Dr. Hefernan's office, who amputated the finger at the first joint. Charlie now enjoys berth in the county jail, awaiting his trial for mayhem. Prison hill stares him in the face.
