free list. These changes In the tariff
laws were the most conspicuous exam
pies in the measure approved by the
house of an attempt to do justice to the
people without regard to the interests
of pampered monopolies.
There is no essential difference be-
tween the systems of subsidies and
tariffs. A protective tariff is subsi dy
pure and simple. 1t enables the pro-
Queer OF any given article to demand an
increased price for that article, although
he may grant nothing in return. The
sugar bounty had the same basic princi-
pie, but was doubly burdensome from
the fact that it compelled the levy and
collection of a tax to be paid over to that
industry-a tax from which there was
no general public benefit. There is a
desire manifest in the senate TO again
favor the sugar interest, but the means
by which this is to be accomplished is
more direct. 1t is proposed that small
tariff OH sugar be impoSed-a tax that
will enable the planters TO increase the
price of their product 10 the consumers,
but save to the latter the payment of di-
rect bounties.
There is widespread mIsapprehen-
sion relative to the sugar bounty. Under
the law it is paid to producers of sugar
made from cane, beets and sorghum,
and upon maple sugar as well. 1t will
thus appear that the South has not been
the sole beneficiary from this bounty.
In 1898 California, Nebraska and Utah
Mi tn
36S.Sl upon sugar produced from beets;
Kansas and Minnesota received $l9,Sl7
upon sorghum sugar, and Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Penn
sylvania, Maryland. West Virginia,
Ohio, Michigan. Minnesota and Iowa
received s66.119.3 80 upon their product
OF maple sugar. Wisconsin,, one of the
largest maple sugar-producing states i'll
the West, for some unaccountaDle rea-
son does not appear in the list of bene-
ficiaries. The great bulk of the bounty
paid, however, was absorbed by the
cane sugar states of Louisiana. Texas,
Florida and Mississippi, which received
SS.763, 5000 out of the total paid of So
S75, 190.SS. The payment of other boun-
ties due last year, amounting to nearly
million dollars, was deferred, owing
to the deficit in the treasury, but it is
announced from Washington that these
claims will be liQuidated Immediately.
it will be remarked that there was
far greater solicitude among represent
aiiveS of the Northern states during the
recent house debate to preserve the pit
lance of S617,296.13 paid to the sugar
producers of their constituency than
was manifested by the representatives
of The South. which received nearly nine
million dollars.
There is little difference of opinion
among tariff reformerS on the question
of the payment of sugar bountles-or
bounties of any sort. 1t is the most per-
nicious form of protection-even worse
than the imposition of duties. For this
reason there will be less objection to
duty on sugar. If it shall be found neces-
sary for purposes of revenue, than to
the maintenance Of the bounty.

THURSTON ON HAWAII,
The Minister Interesting on a
Threadbare Subject.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Ii Minister
Lorrin Thurston addressed a large
audience here tonight in the Foundry
Methodist church Oh Hawaii and its
future, and was greeted with great ap-
plause when he referred indirectly to
annexation. He said. in beginning his
address, that he was invited to come
there, if only to show himself as one of
those Hawaians who were in danger of
having their heads cut off. Hawaii, he
continued, is not SO far away from
civilization as many people imagine.
AS a matter of fact, it is nearer the
geographical center of the United States
than Washington is. The Aeutian
islands extended out into the Pacific
ocean 1000 miles east of Hawaii, max
ing San Francisco the &c ographical cen
ter Of this country, SO that Honolulu is
LOCO miles nearer the Golden Gate than
Washington.
Referring TO the latitude and climate
of tile new republic, the speaker said it
was i'll the same latitude as Cuba, but
there was this difference, that 1.-THE
japanese gulf stream" so called. made
the temperature in Hawaii IL deg less
than in Cuba. The eli mate ranges from
81 deg to 80 deg i'll winter and in sum-
mer, making the country veritabe
paradise.
Hawaii. he declared, is child of the
United States, il ever any country was
the child of another. Americans found
the island inhabited by people one step
advanced from barbariSm, formulated
aud framed the language, and intro
duced and arranged laws moueled after
those of the United States.
From religious point of view, the
HaWalianS set good example of broth
erly love among denominations, for all
the ProteStants there worshipped in one
church. Even the $3.50 MormoiS there
are not poiygamists.
There were no social distinctions and
the natives were as kindly and iOvablc
a race as existed on the face of the
globe.
The recent trouble, he declared, has
been caused by foreigners stirring up
race prejudice. 70 this day, said the
speaker, there is no more Danger Of, all
uprising among the natives than there
is from the natives in Washington. The
danger is from the foreign element, who
are sort of ward politicians from Eng
ldilU anu AtilSlICd, anu WIN Tile
poor natives pull the chestnuts out of
the fire for their use.
The speaker then showed how Hawaii
found it necessary i'll 1889 to prohibit
Chinese immigration for Self-protection
and even self-preseryation. He paid
high tribute to the Portuguese. who, ne
said, were a hone-loving people. and
the best kind of immigrants to have.
In reply to the question, What are
we going to do?'' the speaker said:
I'VE are going to cross each bridge
when we get to it. We don't propose to
allow the country, after seventy years
of development, to lapse again into
despotic heathenism. We will endeavor
to hold the country 10 the best of our
ability, meeting each problem with the
help of Almighty God aud the Ameri-
can people, and believe that we shall
succeed in keeping Hawaii as the gem
of the ocean, the brightest and best
land of liberty in the Pacific ocean,"

nlauued this statement

Wherever there's smoke there's fire,
