The Situation in Hawaii.

We publish to-day another letter from
our special correspondent in Honolulu
Mr.. Nordhoif says that nothing is
clearer than tuat the deposition Of the
Hawaiian Queen was due to an
intrigue fostered by The American
Minister.
Our correspondent takes up the
question Of native government and
discusses it from several sides. There
are people there who think taat an
oligarchy would be nice thing For
himself he does not believe that q
popular" goversment would be the
best thing for country like Hawaii
with a mixed population. A real
democracy would give the franchise to
Chinese, Japanese and Polynesians
equally With the native, Hawaiians.
Mr.. Nordhoff goes straight to the
marx when he frankly avows that
white men have been at the bottom
of much of the corrupt or bad legisla-
ton WEIGH tits now the fashion to
charge uponthe natives.
AT present all is auset, but if Amer.
cans were to interfere in any way,
even to restore tine Queen, the result
would be mischievous. From what

Land Transfer.

In Australia they have a system Of
land transfer as simple as the transfer
of stocks in America. It was explain
ed at length some time ago in the
Century Magazine, and attracted con-
siderable attention.
Illinois will probably be the first
State to adopt the Australian system,
A bill was recently introduced into the
Illinois Legislature establishing the
new method. On examination, law
yers were able to point out serious
defects, which were easily rectified.
1t is not certain the bill will pass, but
the system has grown in favor undei
discussion, and the indications are
that before long Illinois will make the
change.
There in nothing more complicated
more contradictory, more unsatifact
DRY, than our system of land trasiel
and title records. 1t ought to be posi-
BILE to simplify the whole matter. Nil

BungIed Reciprocity.

Reciprocity is sound policy for all
nations. 1t means that the varied peo-'
pies Of the world shall deal with each
other on terms Of mutual profit. It
means free trade when that is best;
it means pnrtial free trade and partial
tariff taxes when that is best, and it
means that nations, like individuals,
shall trade on the most advantageous
terms for both.
The reciprocity feature of the Nc
ISinley tariff was fashioned by its
enemies. It was not in favor with the
authors Of the new tariff, and it was
rejected by Mckinley and his associ-
ates in the House. Secretary Blaine
finally appealed to the county by his
open letters to Senator Frye, in which
he exposed the hollow mookery of
protection in the new tariff, and a
bungled reciprocity feature was final
| lily accepted ia the Senate to save the
Mckinley bill from defeat and its au-
thors from disgrace.
We now have the practical results
of the bungled reciprocity system Of
the present Tariff We have reciprocal
agreements or treaties with a dozen
governments, embracing Germany,
Austria, Hungary, San Salvador, Mica
ragua. Guatemala, Honduras, Cuba,
Porto Rico, San Domingo, British
West Indies, Brazil and British Guiana,
and with nineteen months of expert
ence, we oan post the books and take
account Of profit and loss.
Here are the results Our imports
from five of the countries with which
we have reciprocity agreements, have
increased $141 ,317,013, and from seven
of them they have decreased $780,
1879. The net increase in imports is
about $138,0OO,0O0. Our exports to
four OF the same counties have in.
creased S,5O1, 656,and have decreased
in the other eight 81 ,59S $50. OF the
increase of exports all but about 49,
100000 is to Cuba alone.
Taking the aggregates Of exports
and imports with these reciprocity
countries, we have increased the bal
ance OF trade against our own people
to the immense amount of$126, 862 ,767

specializing against ourselves, and il

come in.
This scheme cannot now be manip-
ulated because when he brings his sill
yer to the United States mint we re-
fuse to coin it. The Government re-
fuses, having double purpose in
view. 1t first would protect its citi-
zens against the offer Of eixty.fve
cents in silver as a payment for a dol
lar debt To do this it decides TO issue
all the silver dollars itself, and, as it
were, endorse them. And, secondly,
as it endorses them it acts as all other
inuorsers would; it places a limit to
the issue.
Would free coinage enhance the
market fiice of silver? Probably
but not enough to make it equal to
gold at the existing ratios. Ten coun'
tries have demonetized it, and the pro
cesses of production have cheapened
it. One country cannot undo what

The Money Market.

Money is tight" money on call
is 10 abundant supply at 2 and . per
cent?
Both sentences are quoted from yes
terday's world. Both are true. There
is plenty of money in the banks.
Their surplus reserve is larger than
usual at this time of the year. The
demand for it, on satisfactory collat-
eral, is not great enough to raise the
interest rate above 21s per cent.
Yet men who desire to secure time
loans, whether in New York or in the
country, find it difficult to do so even
at high rates Of interest, while coln-
try banks, even those that are man
aged in the most conservative fashion,
find it hard to draw from New York
by rediscoInts the money they need
with which to take care of the bust
ness interests of their towns.
The situation is unusual, but not in
any way surprising. The exploitation
of fraudulent trust schemes here and
the collapse of inflated enterprises In
other countries have shaken conf
dence. The banks, being concerned
first OF all for their own soundness,
are lending money on call only to
those who can offer the unexceptiona-
bic collateral, rightly preferring to
keep money idle and profitless rather
than risk losi. AS the borrowers on
first-rate collateral are comparatively
few, the supply of money is in excess
of the demands which the banks are
willing to meet, and so the interest
rate is low.
On the other hand, the banks are
reluctant to make time loans when
there Is 80 much disturbance as exists
just now. They do not know what to
morrow may bring forth, and they dc
not care to risk embarrassment by
putting beyond immediate reach the
money which fheir depositors may
call for any day.
The consequence is that to mer-
chants, as well as to out'of-town banks
money is tight, Yet each of thu
banks is cautiously taking care of 1T
own merchant customers, though re-
fusing loans to others, so that there il
no severe distress 10 legitimate bust
ness.
The stress will pass away when con
fidcnce is restored by the liquidation
OF bubble companies in this and othe
countries, and when busidess method
are again observed and business NOR
ality resumes control of affairs. TIL
feeling is already better because boil
here and abroad the greater bubble
have already burst. Confidence il
next week will come more slowly, per
haps, but not less certainly. Until i
does, money is likely to be tight TO
the majority of borrowers, and easy a

An Honest Dollar.

The Courier-Journal publishes a

We think, too, that all OF us, that is,
almost all of us, want an "honest dol

That much edmitted, we have only to
determine-ho we can secure such q
dollar. There is not much difference
of opinion between the Courier-Jour-
nal and this correspondent. Indeed, it
is confined to one point. lie contends
that q gold dollar is gold dollar be-
cause Congress has said so, and that
when Congress says Al 2 5 grains of
silver constitute silver dollar it will
be worth 100 cents.
We think not. The flat of Congress
does not make 258 grains OF gold
worth 81. The market price deter
mines the value Of both metals. The
markets, and not CONGRESS, control.
Congress can no more fix by its fiat
the price Of silver than it can the
price Of wheat or of cotton.
All Congress can do is TO maintain
the price Of silver dollars by curtailing
the production, that is, limiting the
coinage Of silver dollars and by its
credit covering the difference between
the coin value Of the dollar and its
money value.
