The System of Fraud.

AS might have been expected
from party that robs labor, the
proposed Tariff measure contem-
plates the raising of revenue by a
system of fraud, for this is exactly
what the ad valorem method always
has been and always will be-a fraud
upon the revenue, a fraud upon the
manufacturer in this country and
a fraud upon American labor.
The value of goods in a foreign
country, upon which ad valorem
rates of duties are paid, is always
an unknown quantity. the i'm
porters here will buy from the
manufacturers abroad so as to Sc
cure the lowest possible prices at
the port of shipment, these being
the values upon which the duty
must be paid. There is no guaran-
tee that the goods will be correctly
valued abroad and it will be i'm
possible for our custom officials to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1893-12-14
follow all market quotations.

An importer can always claim
that he bought goods abroad below
the quoted market for spot cash,
heLce it will be easy for his invoice
20 be fixed Foreign manufac-
turers will be only too anxious to
secure our trade at the outset and
to close up our factories, so that IA
cutting Of prices to a point below
the value of American made goods
may be regarded as certainty. In
former Free Trade times this policy
was adopted, and our markets were
oversupplied, in order to create de-
preston in values and compel our
factories to close. Then when the
foreign trade controls the market,
prices will reassert themselves, ex-
cept that our manufacturers will
never know on what basis they can
afford to make goods. Meantime
American labor can starve, or ac-
cept foreign wage rates.

Alabama Objects.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
announced it as his intention to
fight against the Wilson bill, or at
least that portion of it which he
recognizes as threatening to be in
furious to the interests of his State.
He will disregard the President
plea, and it cannot we'll be said that
Mr., Morgan is wrong. He is sent
to the Senate for this very purpose
Of protecting the State from injur-
ious legislation. The men who
have pushed forward the lumber.
the coal, the iron industries of this
great State are unanimous in saying
that the free admission of lumber,
coal, iron ore, etc., into the United
States, will destroy the business of
tens of thousands. Alabama is de-
pendent exclusively on Northern
markets for disposing of her prod
ucts, and the men who have to
look to such disposal have been able
to convince the Senator that for
eign countries can take away their
markets if the Wilson bill becomes
law.
Mr.. Cleveland's argument that
workingmen should content them
selves with lower wages, in order
that raw materials and manufac-
'tured goods may be brought from
abroad, hardly applies to Alabama,
since cheap labor is there so abund-
amt that lower wages are quite out
of the question.
MIR. Morgan is not solitary and
alone in the stand he has taken.
Public men OF Tennessee, Louisiana,
Texas and North Carolina will
cheerfully join him for like ends.

Purify the Lists,

The following affiuial circular has
been issued by Commander in
Chief Adams, of the Grand ARMY
of the Republic:
Whereas, the President of the
United States in his message to
Congress has stated thai thousands
of ncighborhoods have their well
known fraudulent pensioners. and
rs the mission Of the Grand Army
of the Republic is TO encourage
honor and purity in public affairs,
|. therefore, call the attention of
ali the comrades, posts and depart
ments of our order to the statement
of the President and urge them to
report to the honorable commits.
sIoner Of pensions, Washington, D.
g., any person known to be in
receipt of IA pension not justly emit
tied to the same under the law. and
to forward duplicate of said report
to these headquarters at once. Let
The case of fraud be proven, not
implied.
The information that comes to
rhese he ldquarters daily of com
ra rs totally disabled whose pen
Slons have been suspended, and of
widows whose husbands were killed
in battle, being suspended unit!
they can prove that their husbands
were naturalized citizens of the
United States, leads the comman-
der-in- chief to believe that that
statement is broader than can be
su bstantiated bv facts. If these
wrongs actually exist the comman-
der-in-c chief pledges the support of
the Grand Army of the Republic to
those who attempt IN the line of
duty to rectifv these wrongs, assur-
ing them that the Union veterans
are as anxious to guard the treas
ury of the nation in the tIme of
peace as they are to defend its flag
in time of war.

Marriage or Ce1ibaerY

New YORK, March S.-The archbishop
of the country may, it is affirmed, hold
special meeting at the earliest favor
able moment to protest against the re-
cent instructions of the propaganda to
Bishop O'Farrel in regard to- married
Greek priests living in his diocese. The
question threatens to assume an acute
phase, in the opinion of many people.
While Oriental Catholics in certain dis
tricts are accustomed to seeing married
and celebrate clergy living in some sort
of harmony, the West has decided re-
pugnance to it. Ever since the first
married priest and family appeared in
America, bishops, it is said, have urged
the propaganda to bestow some atten-
ton to the possible complications of the
future. They have not succeeded in ex-
citing the interest Of the officials who
have charge of American affairs on the
subject. It is probable the archbishops
will take the matter before Monsignore
Satolli and induce him to sustain the
former DEGREES, even to the point of dis
missing the married priests.

Surely Come,
MUCH EXCITEMENT IN HONOLULU
The Stars and Strines Displayed on
Many Buildings, and a GEN
eral Holiday
MUCH ExcITEMENF IN HONOLULU

Honolulu, March 1.-The early part
of the present week witnessed scenes of
much enthusiasm in Honolulu, and the
stars and stripes weee probably more
generally displayed than at any time in
Hawaiian history. The arrival of the
steamship China from San francisco
Monday, February 20, followed by that
of the Australia February %, brought
intelligence that caused great satisfac-
ton to the provisional government and
the American party on the islands. On
the first-named date, when it became
known that President Harrison and his
cabinet had decided upon favorable
course in regard to disposition of the
islands, excited throngs gathered about
the mail dock, postoffice and news stands
and discussed the information received
with much ardor. The prompt action
of the administration in the matter was
warmly commended by Americans, ir-
respective of party affiliations, as we'll as
by many of the German residents, and
of the more intelligent natives. The
scene, however, was nothing like that of
February %, when the Australia brought
the news that the message from Presi-
dent Harrison providing for a treaty of
annexation of the islands had gone to
the senate, and that as far as the Amer
ican government was concerned the is
lands were probably part of the United
States when the Australia arrived. The
day was the anniversary, of the birth of
Washington, and was being observed as
general holiday. The streets were
filed with natives, and ot2ers, in their
best attire; flags were floating : ON
many buildings and from vessels in the
harbor, the whole forming in the bright
sunlight pretty setting for the intro
duction of the startling effects furnished
by the steamer from San Francisco.
Colonel Soper, commanding the provis-
ional government forces, was applauded
when he expressed himself in favor of a
salute of 100 guns in honor of the occa-
sion providing he were given authority
therefor
