can answer my maligners in no bet
ter manner than by reproducing an
article of mine published some three
years ago, showing my position on
the property and financial question,

Christian religion, the Mohamedan,
the Bhudd, ancient Judaism or the

LANDLoRDIsM
The cornerstone of all monach-
ical forms, or oppressive forms, OF
government is landlordism. Destroy
that cornerstone, thereby equalizing
the opportunities Of all citizens to
obtain fair, just and equitable re-
turn for the labor expended, and
there is not monarchy on the face
of the earth that could exist twelve
months. Landlordism is a monarch
ical institution, and, as such, is an
tagonistic to a republican form OF
government.
The Creator gave to man domin-
ION over the beasts of the earth, the
fowls of the air and the fishes of the
sea, but He did not give man do
miniou over man, for the simple reas-
on that He could not without yield
ing up His prerogative as supreme
ruler of mankind. True, when the
monarches of Europe paid tribute
and acknowledged the Pontiff Of
Rome as the head of their nations,
and when the Pope crowned the
kings, it was claimed that the king
was a vicegerent of God, but WE
think that if God wanted a viceger-
ent TO assume SO responsible posi-
ton, He (God, Himself would
have appointed him directly, and
would have given him his creden-
tails to that effect, instead Of dele
eating that power, or duty, to the
Pontiff, who had arrogated to him
self that power through the votes of
the cardinals-men, like himself.
And God did not give man domin-
ion over the earth further than to
make il produce for their susie
nance. God did not say, Now, here
is the soil. Obtain warranty deeds
for as much of it as possible and
then, when you find brother human
being who is poorer than yourself,
and less fortunate in owning war;
ranty deed, exact tribute from him
in the way of rental for the privi-
lege of making living for himself
and family.

ing, grazing and mechanical, are
able to bear tax sufficient to pay
both principal and interest as they
mature, and without feeling it ap-
preciably. were they not robbed in
divers other ways
But, now, let us look for the effect
that devastating war would have
upon far the greater part of our cir
culating medium. First, the pro-
ducts in all departments of labor
would decrease in quantity. Next
would follow depreciation of our
securities. The bonds would de-
crease in the same ratio. The green
backs and the banks issue would
bear the same relative value as a
medium of exchange that their Sc
curities were worth in the markets
of the world. If the bonds were
worth so cents on the dollar, then
the national bank bill would be
worth just so cents on the dollar,
and no more.
Now, where is our boasted specie
basis going to help US at critical
period? As matter of fact, specie
basis is a fraud and delusion-the
worst we or any other nation has
ever had in the past, or ever can
have in the future, and serves the
purpose Of scheming, unprincipled
shylocks to contract and initiate the
currency at will, and enables the
favored few to levy tribute upon
every industrial occupation. In
some future article l will show up
the method of contraction as prac-
ticed by the national bank combine
of this country.
But" say you, what relation
does this system Of finance have to
the land question ?" Well, listen,
and l will answer you. When,
through a system OF contraction,
money becomes scarcer and interest
higher as money advances, the pro-
ducts of labor decrease in value in
the same corresponding ratio. FIRST,
because employers, to curtail ex-
penses, decrease their working
force of employees. The discharged
employees have not the means where
with to purchase, and they have to
get along on less. Second, the con-
sumers, realizing the scarcity of
money, practice the most rigid econ
omy in buying. Third, the pro.
ducers of agricultural and manufac-
tured products cannot afford to use
borrowed capital to carry on their
business at the high rate of interest
necessary to pay, 80 they rush ev-
erything that they can spare into
the market, thereby not only keep
ing the market glutted, but, at the
same time, placing themselves CON-

ISLAND LAND HOLDINGS.
PRESIDENT DOLE GIVES HIS
VIEWS.
Small Parcels How to Deal
With it Wisely.

There was meeting of the Executive
and Advisory Councils late yesterday
afternoon at which the following resolu-
tions were passed
Resolved The offices OF the Executive
Council shall be in Iolani palace, which shall
hereafter be the seat Of government and shall
be known as the executive building
Meeting of the Advisory and Executive
Councils shall be held in the executive build
ing
Alliiolan Hale shall hereafter be known as
the court house
The bail act was amended to make
it more specific and passed.
President Dole addressed the Coun
ellis upon the land policy Of the Gov
eminent saying, among other things,
the following
1t is easy to understand that certain
radical changes in the land policy Of
the Hawaiian Islands, would cause
havoc in important established enter.
prises, especially if abruptly made. On
the other hand it is matter of rapidly
growing sentiment in the Hawaiian
community that a liberal policy of
opening FOR settlement suitable por-
tons of the public lands by
actual occupiers, has become a
necessity to the social and industrial
progress of our varied population. This
sentiment is emphasized by rapidly
Increasing demand for land in small
parcels for cultivation and residence
1t is the desire of the executive, if
circumstances permit, to inaugurate
comprehensive policy of opening
public land for settlement and cultya-
ton In answer to this public necessity
and private demand, which, without
interfering with established industrial
enterprises, may lay the foundation for
individual welfare and Contentment,
and therefore of enhanced public pros.
perity.
We feel that there should be more
than one method provided for carrying
out such policy; for, while there are
many persons who wish to acquire
homesteads, who have sufficient capital
with which to take up lands upon the
bases Of buying or leasing the same,
there are others whose resources are
barely sufficient for the necessary inn
provements and preliminary work re-
CURED for such an enterprise, leaving
nothing for rent or purchase money.
This class also would be much
exposed to the temptation of by
pothecating their newly acquired inter
ests for ready money, and SO run the risk
of eventually losing them. 1t is sug-
gested that for the benefit of this class
of applicants the opportunity be given
to take up certain allot ments on the
conditions of use and inalienablity and
subject only to the payment of taxes
and the expenses Of survey and papers
so that the property shall remain in
the family as long as there are any
heirs at law to inherit it, and it is
occupied by them, failing which it shall
escheat to the government, The more
prosperous applicants should be given
such opportunities of acquiring lands
by sale, or the New Zealand perpetual
lease system, as would favor bona tide
intending occupiers and discourage
spectators.

The June term of the Circuit Court,
second judicial circuit, will be holden
at Waikiki Maui on Wednesday next,
and will probably last one week only,
as it is said there are appeals which
have not been made in compliance with
the new law requiring the same to be
filed within five days after the rendition
of judgment in the lower courts,
Under the former system only verbal
notices of appeals were required, but
now it is otherwise. We learn that
Mr.. G. K. Wilder will represent
the Government on behalf of the
prosecution in criminal cases. A
Chinaman charged with the muir

years identified with Hawaii and hold

"Ihe logic of the situation here is
altogether favorable to annexation. A
protectorate would simply perpetuate
what has always existed, viz, a quasi
dependence on the friendly mediation
of the United States when trouble
threatens. This has not contributed
