ADVERTISER, Oct, %,

II ' EAN a - 80 49, -
The views OF the
ADVERTISER, on the
question of annexa-
ton, are these:
1t believes IN the
Repubiis, unresery-
eddy. because II is the
gsed successor to the
bad government OF
the monarchy, and,
through it and by it,
law and order may
be preserved aud jus
tice administered.
>. Ii believes in the
close, political union
OF these islands with
the United States. 1t
believes that il is tor
the best interests OF
the people here, that
the sentiment Of pO-
litical union should
be strong, united and
active; that the Gov
eminent Is in thor
ough accord with this
sentiment; and that
any denunciatlOn of
those supporters OF
the Republic who are
not, at present, III
harmony with TINS
sentiment is injudi-
cious, impolitic, and
extremely dan gerOus
under the present.
circumstances, and
tends to prevent har-.
Sony.
8. II believes that
the question of that
union will be deter
mined by the people
OF the United States
acting through Con-
-gNes, ard not by a
email body of politi-
clans in this city,
however intelligent
they may be.
4. 1t believes that
the views and opln-
ions of the friends of
annexation in the
United States, are of
much greater imporl
lance IN securing that
union, than the opin-l
ions OF our eStImable, !
but local, politicians.
1t also believes that
the Government of
the United States will
act with little senti-
ment in the matter,
and will simply conf
suit its own interests.
3. 1t believes that a
large number OF peo-
pie of the United
states favor annexa-
ton on military, ma
val and commercial
grounds; and it also
knows that a very .
large number of hose
people who are
friendly TO the Re
public, hesitate to.
favor annexation, Ow-
ing to the mixed and
unstable character of
the inhabitants of the
islands. /.
8. 1t knows that the
present Government.
in Washington, its
friends, and many
powerful journals. |,
believed that the rev.
olution here was
made not i'll the in
terests OF good gov
eminent, but was az
vital part of a con-
spiracy, to secure anil
nexatiOn; a belief
which will be con-
tirmed in their minds
by the deliberate
statement of an an
neXationist journal !
here, that no one:
could hold the Re- {
public together for.i
twenty four hours, I
without the cement.
of the political idea
OF annexation, and
that 1.-THE Republic !
and annexation are
inseparable. - 4
I. 1t knows that a
powerful Trust which
Is a dominant power
in American politics,
is opposed to annexa-
ton, and that its far
reaching influence ISL
better known to the
friends of annexationI'
in Washington, than
1t is known to anyli
body of men here,
outside of the Gov-Il
eminent. 1t intends
to forewarn its read
ers regarding this
danger. I
S, 1t believes that
events are slowly
but surely, wOrkingIl
in the interests Of pO- I
litical union, and (
that, until the time
arrives, when the
American Govern. (
ment indicates its de
sire for union, the
supporters of the Re !
public will further
the "cauSe, " by main
tanning good govern
ment. rather than by E;
fOOlishly prOclaiming|
TO the world that the
Republic is a weak
and sickly infant, i
and only lives on theI'
milk OF an annexa- (
ton bottle. Good '
governments are nOtI'
made of such stuff. (
9. 1t has an abid- 4
ing fai h in the stuF-
dS purpose and bach
bone of those, here. (
who have large inter /
ests, domestic and [
financial, and it be- [
lieves that they have I
sand enough to stand
by the Republic, even
though annexation l
fails. K
10 1t believes that I,
those who have en-il
listed for the cause, (
should enlist for:
