WHAT DOES 1T MEAN :?

The San Francisco Examiner and its
factotum and copyist, the Portland
Telegram, are fond of assuming that
the election last November proved that
large majority Of the people desired
change in the tariff. Does the ma
jority for Mr.. Cleveland represent the
opposition to the Mckinley act?
Let us see for a moment. One hum
dred and flfty-slx electoral votes came
from the Southern states, and were as
little influenced by questions of tariff
MS by the spots on ths sun. Every one
cf them would have been cast for
Mckinley himself IL he had heen the
nominee Of the democratic party. Next
as to the thirty-six votes of New York,
will any sane man claim that they rep
resent the sentiment of that state as
to tariff matters? How many of the
horde of voters drummed up in the
slums of New York, Brooklyn and
Buffalo, Albany and Troy knew or
cared anything about the Mckinley

that all the increased majorties they
gchemed so successfully to obtain were
simply moved by preference for free
trade? The mountain did not travail
to bring forth that kind OF mouse.

rng rArHpR on MANY ILLs.


Constipation leads to a multitude Of
physical troubles. 1t is generally the
result OF carelessness or Indifference to
the simplest rule Of health. Eugene
Mckay, Of Brantford, Ont, writes:
II had for several years been suf-
ferer from constipation, had taken a
great many diffedent remedies, some
of which did me good for time, but
only for a time, then my trouble came
back worse than ever. l was induced
by friends, whom Brandredth's Pills
had benefited, to try them. Took two
each night for a week, then one every
night for about six weeks. Since that
time | have not experienced the slight
est difficulty whatever, and my bowels
move regularly every day. / believe

Pills are far superior to any other.

Advertising is the life blood of trade.
The Astorian is often asked why 1t will
not "cut rates" The answer is be-
cause we can afford to name a rate and
stick to 1t. The Astorian is a paper of
known circulation, and therefore Of
positive advertising value.
A cut in the price of molasses, or
in any other commodity, creates sus-
picion that 1t is not good, or that there
is no demand for It, A cut in adver-
tising rates. unnatural discounts, or
any of this neutrality-suspicious.
and-so," is evidence that the adver-
tlslng space is not worth what is asked
for it, and generally much less than
that obtained for it.
The advertiser has no more right to
beat down the rates Of good and val
liable newspaper than has the news
paper man a right to demand a sui
cidal discount in the purchase of his
clothes, provisions or furniture.
One hundred and ninety-three bus
mess men of this city prove by adver-
tlsing in the Astorian this morning
that they agree with our proposition.

Truly this is remarkable. The banks
Of New York have earned the graft
tude of the whole country for their
patriotic course during the late panic,
and the comptroller made this possible
by his wise refusal to keep the ma
tional banks Of that city up to the
strict letter of the law Had he done
so at the critical period. there would
have been universal ruin, and the dis
grace of many old and honored busi-
ness houses.

that score. He is such a modest, Sc

Hawaii holomua = Progress., 1893-10-19
Mr.. CHAIRMAN:

The aunexationists have spent
many preoioas moments in prov
ing to you that these Hawaiian
Islands are in the middle of the
sea. They have proven, that the
Pacific is a broad ocean and have
produced a map to prove it.
They have drawn lines from the
islands to almost every point of
prominence in the Pacific, this
proving to you what We never
doubted that these islands are in
the middle of the sea; and that
by their thus position they form
a key to the Earth. These proven
propositions together with their
portrayal of our. great future
commerce and Hawaii intimate
connection with it are their pre-
misses and annexation is their
conclusion. We will do them
justice to say that barring few
grave Inconsistencies justice has
been done everything bat the
conclusion.
In Captain A. T. Mahon's arti-
Gle in the March Forum he bases
Americas right 10 annex some
thing upon an ingenious analogy.
He compares our nation in its
growth to that of an individual.
I'm our infancy he says I'VE
bordered on the Atlantic-in our
youth we advanced TO the middle
west and in our maturity, we
boriered from sea to sea- is
that any reason" he proceeds to
urge, why we should not con-
tinue to accumulate and extend
onr boundaries further west.
Let me carry the analogy one
step further aud remark. that
when man has arrived at mature
growth. any further accumu-
lation IS an agravating burden
and il is 50 just in proportion
as the distance OF this accumu-
lasion increases beyond the
nstaral limit Bonds have been
6xed for our national habitafion-
Hawaii IS two thousand miles
Hawaii holomua = Progress., 1893-10-19

is a most unnatural. abnormal,
and needles burden. So much
for an inconsistency.
What would We expect 10 have
urged as a reason Why the United
States should persue any policy
OF annexation. When we ex-
tended dominion over The north
west territory and added the
domains of Louisiana, Texas
and the Pac. West, there was
reason for such a policy in the
intrinsic value OF the acquisition
themselves. They offered vast
resources for individual and
national wealth; ample scope
for settlement and national
growth; besides the possibility
OF establishing millions OF happy
homes. No such motions can
for a moment be urged in the
present case. Hawaiian terri
tory is already peopled and her
resources developed.
Neither have the affirmative
attempted to show any peculiar
merit on the part of the great
mess of foreign laborers, that
would make them desirable
American citizens. We know
by sad experience what the East
Orient and the Islands of the
Pacific can produce. We know
by sadder experience what the
second right of American citizen
ship means. According to certain
articles in the proposed annexa-
tion treaty, the over Jealous COM
missioners would restrict the
rights of citizenship to favored
few, the rest would be deprived
even the rights of immigration to
our states. Such a position
ignores the fundamental princi-
Piles of our constitution. Abso-
lutte liberty and equality are in
alienable rights, which once
granted by charter of annexa-
ton are not to be ignored. To
annex Hawaii means that her
whole mongrel and mongolian
population be incorporated bodily
into the body of our American
republic, but to deny to the least
of these new made citizens the
right of migration TO every parts |
of our domain is to make the
liberty" or our constitution,
libel and most treacherous
fraud. Fellow-citizens, guard |
jealously your birth-right and be-
ware to whom you stretch your |
arms.
There are just two reasons
why the Affirmative urge annex
alton. First. Because there is
large number of Americans in the
and vast property inter
est at stake. The second reason
is due to the advantage of posi-
lion. Concerning the 1900
Americans and their property

than for citizens who have gone

packs upon their national land,
developed resources in the ter
-itory of another nation: and
nave accumulated wealth and
POLITICAL power. Just now the
of that power seems
o be theirs. The natives have

Theadvantsge ofsacha a position
has not been over-estimased. but

hssty in their conclusion that we
must annex IN order 10 secure
such privilege. They would have

missiouers for American annexa-
tion sre disappointed. they viii

TO another nation and refuse to
deal with Us any more Our na-
tion Is however. not so easily 20
be ignored. These Hawaiian
Commissioners have appealed for
closer union first 10 the L. ), not
because Of any noble patriotic
sentiment, but because the in
dustries of these islands. in
which they are personally inter
ested. are so closely related to
and dependent upon the attitude
which the e. S, holds toward
them. Before 1887, their com
merce was utterly in significant. In
that year the shippers were grant
ed exemption by the q. S. from
the 2 cents sugar import duty,
and for this we were granted the
right to maintain and fortify
Pearl Harbor. From that
time their sugar trade be-
came enormous, and great
wealth was accumulated, until
the fine sugar" of the Nc
Kinley Bill put other sugar pro-
ducing localities on an equal
footing with themselves. From
that time there has been an I'M
happy reversion to former unpro-
itable conditions. all the time
has passed in which they could
have profted in other markets if
it was feasible. But it isn't
feasible, so closely is this trade
dependent upon our market. Our
nations 5 favor has simply made
their fortune and the withdrawal
of il has made their industries fail.
Annexation or no annexation, Ha
wall must always look to us as
foster mother; the only source of
support and encouragement for
their limited commercial capaei-
ty. The Commissioners are aware
of this intimate dependence and
we need fear no policy of retalia-
ton, because we refuse to annex.
They viii always be open for the
best our nation has to offer.
1t has been proven that our
nation, through its mercenary
Minister Stevens, has established
the Provisional Government; that
without such support the govern
ment could never have been es-
tablished nor q moment main
tanned. By the very nature of the |
support given. it is evident that
the sole purpose of establishing |
that government was for American |
Suppose now that our govern |
ment. as In wisdom we hope she |
may. refuse to annex, and thus
the support given by Stevens be
withdrawn; the only purpose
for which such a government was
will have met with |
defeat. The Hawaiian Provis-
onal Government viii then have
solved its destiny and will take
its place among powers that are
dead where it properly belongs
1t has also been proven that
the masses in Hawaii are OPP
posed to annexation and are
waiting anxiously for renewal
81 their independence. Who |

control. we should by all means
annex. appreciate the force OF
such an argument. bnt the
United States Is not 3 nation
whose enmity suei, a designing
power can afford TO incur. A
certain Ana policy known as

ated by It's author. our nation has

and Western HemIspheres were
essentially and politically dis
tinet. Our policy has refrained
from touching any European
affairs, and demands that the
states of Europe aud of the East
maintain like neutral besring
toward our West. England.
France and Spain three times
have attempted to undermine

American nations; each time
they have quietly abandoned
their purpose simply, because
the United States sent forth the
edict that such interference was

and would be considered as q
menace to our peace. | have

Any power, therefore, who
attempts to usurp Hawaiian in
dependence will be Immediately
condemned as pursuing policy
most unfriendly TO our nation
and thus committing an act in
preparation for war. The viii
of our republic. with its world.
wide commerce. is not with con-
tempt to be set aside and no
nation on the face OF the earth,
for the control of Hawaii, is
prepared for the step. The Aft
urge that Cong. is most liable
to annex in case we refuse. On
the contrary that nation is least
liable OF them all In 1S43,
France and England bound them
selves by treaty never to take
dominion of these islands In
1887, that treaty was reindorsed-
Just now the foreign possessionsof
Europe are fast loosening from

England are eagerly hoping for
her fall Is it then consistent
with intelligence to propose that
England in her present involved
foreign affairs, can afford 10 incur
the enmity OF France for .
broken treaty and of the q. s.
for an unfriendly act. simply for
the control Of islands whose
value to her is but an added
burden.
The affirmative propose that
Japan also has designs / can't
prophesy what nation the next
speaker will declare as the future
possessor of these islands /
consider such proposition as
bold game at biufsing which the
Affirmative have learned from
their honorable predecessors Mr.
rhursson and his fellow Commis-
,ioners- Suffice it to say that
Japan has received too much and
has yet too much TO ask from the
friendship Of our nation 10 think

Pray heaven they'er done Now
our nation is urged to extricate
her unwilling citizens from their
self imposed predicament. and
By so doing TO plunge into a
policy of foreign acquisition
with Its inevitable menace to
peace and invitation 10 war;
besides the opening Of our na
tiou's arms TO an unwelcome
host. These pleading prodi
gals have left our land -
they have east lot with
another people. and sltho they
viii always have our kindly eye
because we are interested in our
own blood, yet as a nation, for
them we have no longer any
concern.
The second and only real aud
vital argument urged in favor of
annexation is due to the advan-
tage of position. This advantage
the affirmative would have our
nation control both for naval and
for commercial purposes. Let
me ask, why for naval purposesl
Our nation is not naval power,
doesn't pretend to be and has no
ambition to be. The annexa-
tionists would have US believe
that a fort in these islands is
essential, In case of war, to the
protection of our coast. Protec-
ton to our coastll Hawaii is
2O0O miles, ten days travel be-
yond our borders ont In the mid
die of the sea. Protection to our
coastll Better build an arsenal
in the moon; for while Hawaii
has absolutely none, such posi-
tion would have one single
advantage: 1t might occasionally
overlook our affairs.
Concerning their proposition
for naval control of the Pacific
tbs as wild as the waves. Ever
since the establishment of our
independence, the policy of our
nation has been to ameliorate
the tendency of national
strife. Now in the most
peaceful and prosperous time
of our existence we are urged
to policy of foreign conquest
the maintainanee of which means
the enormous increase of our
naval power; and whyl Simply
to prove that We can maintain a
successful competition against
our powerful rivals on the sea.
A mere greed after unavailing
control.
Judge Cooley. in a recent ad-
lress to Ann Arbor law students,
,aid that the demand for naval
of these Islands is in
'pired by the old adage; I'm |
lime of peace prepare for war"
Such 3 policy. Judge Cooley |
proceeded to show, is grinding |
he nations Of Europe into the |
Inst to-day, and he would SUBJ
tituts the wiser policy:-"In

'atiye policy, "a policy at which

But annexation for CONNER.
ial reasons is the mainssay of
heir position. Without a doubt
hess islands are in the line OF
rads that is soon 30 become
normous. But remember they
