Before the free trade tariff bill was
published the sugar growers OF Louis
lana were beginning to feel troubled.
An instance OF the growth Of the pro-
lection sentiment is noted at the horie
OF Senator Don Caffery. The Attaka-
pas Vlndlcator, published at Franklin,
La. speaking OF the different articles
that It was believed would be placed
upon the free list, said: III this Is
what is termed nineteenth century de-
mocracy. this country made a serious
mistake when It failed to kill the prin-
ciples Of that party deader than dam
nation at the ballot box last election.
II our own people are to be reduced to
beggary and their enterprises slaugh
tered by the hand that should protect
them for the benefit OF the people of
any foreign nation, then America has
TO more use for such things. The
question is no longer one Of party prln-
ciples, but involves the welfare of our
country IN its onward march TO de.
stsuction."

There are some amusing passages in
the recent speech OF Senator Mills in
defense Of Cleveland's Hawaiian policy.
Here is one Of them: ITO see queens
coming to congress and appealing for
their rights; to see princesses-because
we had a Hawaiian Understanding
here and pleading for their rights, takes
us back to the old days Of the Romans,
when conquered queens were cllairud
behind chariots and led through the
streets, weighed down with golden
chains. to adorn the triumphs OF con-
querors who had overthrown them Il.
that day coming when along Pennsyl-
vania avenue we shall see a Hawaiian
queen. not loaded with golden chains,
but weighed down with sugar sacks on
her back, coming to the congress Of the
United States pleading in behalf OF her
poor miserable, ignorant people, for the
right that we claim to have come direct
from God to us, inalienable in its ma
ture-the right to institute a govern
ment for themselves?" This must
have caused Mr.. Cleveland to thrill In
his inmost nature. The conclusion Of
Mr.. Mills was that, II the government
of the United States did take any part
in the overthrow Of the established
government of Hawaii, "honor and
justice demand restitution shall be
made;" and his closing words were:
Full restitution shall be made for tho
wrong we have done, and the goveln-
ment OF the Hawaiian people shall be
Ieinstated."
