MAY REVERSE HARRISON.
President Cleveland Asks About
Discriminating Duties.

President Cleveland has asked
Secretary Gresham to prepare {
statement of the existing state o.
the negotiations under the McKiu.
ley tariff law with Venezuela, Haiti
and Colombia, and he is likely
soon to modify the proclamation OF
President Harrison, imposing dis
eliminating duties on coffee and
hides from those countries. A
strong protest was filed by the
Government of each country
against the imposition of the dis
eliminating duties a year ago, but
the President refused to be moved
by it.
The representatives of the three
Governments affected protested
that their tariff systems made no
determinations against the United
States and in favor of other coun-
tries, but our Government insisted
that, in view of the special conces-
sions granted by these and other
South American countries, they
should, like their other Southern
neighbors, grant us discriminating
exemptions from duty.
The coffee trade from Venezuela
was most affected by the Presi-
dents proclamation, and most of it
was diverted to England. Venezue-
Ian coffee has continued to come
into the United States to some ex-
tent, however, since the duties took
effect, and nearly 100000 worth
from the three countries affected
have been entered at the Custom
House and paid duty during the
past year.
Our export trade to the three
countries has been in the meantime
falling off, and President Cleveland
is disposed 10 restore the old rela-
tons. He may secure some slight
concessions by showing a more
friendly spirit than was shown by
the last Administration, and this is
supposed to be his object in calling
upon Secretary Gresham for the
papers.-Ex.

AN EVIL SYSTEM.

In another column is reported an
incident which has occurred under
our passport law which illustrates
afresh the unjust and arbitrary
character of that obsolete enact
ment. The facts show that a very
oppressive use can be made of the
statute, and no doubt it IS not in
frequently abused in this way. 1t
Is Of course an Inconvenience to
creditors when dishonorable men
abscond without remembering to
discharge their obligations, but it
IS hardly fair to subject the entire
travelling community to inconveni-
ence in order to give shopkeepers
an additional hold on "deadbeats."
The root of the whole evil is in
the pernicious system of quarterly
credits which is the bane Of Homo
lulu trade. The attempts to uproot
this system have hitherto proved
unavailing, but they should not be
relaxed on that account. As long
as merchants give these universal
credits, without reference either to
the power or the disposition of the
customer to pay, they are entitled
to very little pity. Most certainly
they are not entitled to special and
oppressive legislation intended to
protect them from the natural
effects of their own recklessness.
Let the credit system 60. An
nexation will rid US of the pass
ports.

cipal market for Hawaiian products
is likely to overbear all other consid-
erations. The policy of reciprocity
with Hawaii was very insidious
step toward the present condition of
affairs. 1t was, in fact, the beginning
OF Hawaiian prosperity. Annexation
would be the ripened fruit.
The news from Honolulu may
not have been of a very stirring
character but it has shown that the
annexationist cause is well able to
take care of itself. The investiga-
tons of Mr.. Blount are likely to
furnish all the additional evidence
which may be necessary to fortify
the case for annexationists. The
"ripened fruit is ready to be
plucked. and if it is not, it will be
likely to drop somewhere else.

On. Bowen, the able and genial
editor of the New York World,
left somewhat unexpectedly, on
the Australia last week. He
has talked with all sorts and con-
ditions Of men while here, and has
made good use of his excellent
opportunities to get an insight into
the meaning of the situation.
DR.. Bowen speaks guardedly, as
becomes an experienced journalist
and man of the world but it is
obvious that those who have repre-
sented him as a rank royalist have
misrepresented him altogether.
The World is not committed to
any anti-annexation policy. 1t is
simply opposed to the concluding
s treaty before full investigation.

4 DISPATCH published in another
column confirms the idea that
President Cleveland viii probably
remove the discriminating duties
imposed by President Harrison on
coffee and hides from Venezuela,
Hayti and Columbia. It is stated
that these duties have not only
driven the products Of those coun-
tries to other markets, but have
decreased the American export
trade. Secretary Gresham has been
requested by the President to in
vestigate the status with a view to
making changes.

4 SOUND VIEW.

An Eastern Democratic paper
contains the following sensible ref
erence to the Hawaiian situation {:
The waiting attitude of the United
States, pending the consideration of
Hawaiian annexation, is reasonably
certain to bring matters to a focus in
the islands. Those who for any reason
are opposed to annexation will recog-
nize the necessity for making an i'm
mediate and influential protest. De-
Law would be fatal. On the other hand,
the friends Of annexation have put
themselves in a position where they
must justify and reinforce the argu-
ments which led up TO the negotiation
of the treaty sent to the Senate by
President Harrison. The next news
from Honolulu is likely to be Of a
character. The advantage of
settled and stable government and Of
unrestricted trade with the country

There has been an increase of the
population by immigration of 1865.
The Portuguese population has fall
len off 437, but there are 114S more
japanese and 654 more Chinese
than in 1891. This process by
which the Asiatic steadily dis
places the European population, is
not less certain because it is in
sidious. The causes of it are deeply
implanted in governmental and
economic conditions, and nothing
can check it but annexation. The
fact that annexation will put a
period to it may be counted as not
the least of the benefits to be de-
rived from it.

Just as Hot as Ever.

A morning contemporary speaks
of a cooling off in the Hawaiian
annexation sentiment in Cali
fornia. No one else has seen any
evidence to that effect. Of course
our people cannot talk annexation
for months at a stretch. They
have other matters to occupy their
attention. But whenever the SUBJ
ject comes up it will be found that
California is as solid as ever for it.
It's desire is based on deliberate
conviction Of the commercial and
strategic value of the islands. Our
contemporary has never been quite
sound on that matter. Perhaps it
fears that certain persons and in
terests that it holds grudges
against may gain something by
the operstion.-[S. F. Bulletin.

TIE CUSTOMS IN 1892.

The Report of the Collector OF
Customs for the year 1892 has
appeared and as usual is full of
important information. 1t shows
of course a heavy falling off in both
exports and imports and accord
ingly in receipts from duties, but
not greater than was expected.
The export Of sugar amounted to
about 263,OOO,0OO of pounds, val
ued at $7,276,549.24. The total
value of all exports was $S,1S1,-
6S7.21 or $2,147,377 less than in
1891, and over 100000 less than
in 1890.
The imports amount to $685.
$50 less than the exports, and they
show a decrease as compared with
the year 1891 of nearly $780,
600. These figures tell their own
story. They are enough to account
for vast deal of business depres-
sion, and the only wonder is that
they have not brought more dis
aster.

NOT TO BE MOVED.

The Provisional Government ha:
not been stronger at any time dur
ing its existence than it is to-day
and it is daily growing stronger
The reason is that its course OF
mingled frmness and moderation
conciliates opposition while it
strengthens friendship. Most Of
all, the power of the Government
is due to the fact that it is IN
swervingly true to the cause of
annexation.
It was the hope of achieving an
nexation to the United States
which made the revolution, and
without that hope no finger would
have been lifted. The cause has
gained adherents every day since.
Annexation sentiment has crystal
lied and solidifed among the for
eign element, while the opposition
among Hawaiians has been break
ing up under many disintegrating
influences. The stern logic of
events, however, has made more
annexationists than all other causes
combined.
The die is cast; a government
has been created for this single OBJ
ject, and it rests upon this single
idea. The impolicy, the danger,
the positive impossibility of taking
any backward step, is recognized
even by men who were not annexa-
tionists before the revolution. No
industry can flourish without sta
bic government to enforce law and
order, and the experience of the
last twenty years has proved that
the foundations upon which a
free and stable independent gov
eminent must be built, do not exist
in Hawaii. The demonstration cost
and needs not to be re-
peated again. An oligarchy is as
impossible as it would be unjust
and undesirable, and an independ-
snt republic with a general suffrage
would rival dance of devils in
Pandemonium.
These are the views which are
laily gathering strength in Hawaii.
The industrial prosperity Of the
must be founded upon an
orderly government. The sugar in
lustry, like every other, will uIti-
nately be prospered by the estab-
ishment of such a government
through the strong arm Of the
United States, and it cannot afford
o face the uncertainty and chaos
# any other condition.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-05-02

The customs receipts were over
100000 in 1891; they fall short
of 100000 in 1892. The difference
of about $4,000 is of course in
large measure accounted for by the
decrease in imports, but it is also
partially due to the fact that more
goods have been imported which
come in duty free and less of those
which pay duty. In spite of the
rudeness of the Mckinley bill, the
commercial relations between Ha-
wall and the United States are be-
coming more close. Exports to the
United States were 91.43 per cent.
of the total, as against S5.37 per
cent. in 1891, while the goods i'm
ported from the United States con-
stitute S1.94 per cent. of the total,
an increase OF nearly II per cent.
over the previous year. Ninety per
cent. of the total exports was car
ried in American vessels.
One fact ofinterest is the appear
ance in the list, of pineapples, of
which 19,471 pieces and 900 boxes
have been sent away, valued at
$1O,139. The pineapple industry
viii have great future before it
just as soon as annexation rids it
of the burden of the duty. a little
more coffee has been sent abroad,
while wool has taken a jump from
$4,000 worth in 81 to more than
$4,000 in 1892. The wool growers
are also burdened with an almost |
prohibitive duty.
On the whole the showing made
by the Custom House returns for
1892 is not particularly favorable.
Industry vegetates-it does not
flourish, and it cannot until secur-
ity and stability have been reached
under the flag of the American
Union.

everyone who has to insure. There

1t is announced that Rev DR. Park
hurst has returned TO New York greatly
refreshed and invigorated by his sum
mer's rest, and that he proposes to make
it more interesting for the police of that
city than ever. The reverend gentleman
thinks that his peculiar mission is the
suppression of protected crime, " and he
says that Tammany, which he describes
as 'superbly organized band Of
brigands," is the chief protector that he
has to fight The Tribune thinks that
while DR. Parkhurst's methods may not
always be above criticism, his spirit is
admirable and praiseworthy, and that if
there were more of the same in the pulpits

much better for it every way.
