The Jones Locked Fence is
the cheapest and strongest
fence ever constructed. We
make this assertion because
the letters we have received
from parties using it on these
Islands endorse everything
we have ever said about it.
We believe that in another
year every plantation and
ranch on the Islands will be
enclosed by the Jones Locked
Fence. You will understand
that we do not sell the fence
made up, only the material;
wire, stays and washers for
making it. This means that
if you have a poorly built
fence of the old style you can
make it as strong as you
please by bracing it with
stays fastened to the wires by
washers. For five wire
fence each stay with five
washers will cost you eight
cents. You can tell from this
just what it will cost you to
strengthen your fence and
keep it from sagging. Send
Us an order for a hundred
stays and five hundred wash
ers and surprise yourself.
a plantation manager on
Hawaii sends US a bullock
cart comparatively new
which he asks Us to dispose of
for him as he has no further
use for it. The bed is three
feet high five feet six and one
half inches wide and eleven
feet long. The cart cost
$50 and is as good for SER
vice as a new one. 1t may be
seen In our warehouse or we
will describe it more in detail
to any one writing for partic-
ulars.
Mr.. Conant of Waimea,
Kauai says our Hendry

now is the time to subscribe

In opening the convention, Mr..
Kennedy said:
"Bellow delegates to this the first
island convention in the Republic of
Hawaii. Pursuant To the call of the
Central Executive Committee we
meet here today in the name of the
American Union Party, party
which stands conspicuously for pro-
gress, for good government and for
the good of all the people, but above
all, in fact the very foundation, the
soil rock on which we cling together
as one man is the political atniOn Of
these islands TO the United States of
America.
"The most of us here will remember
the 14th to 18th days OF January, 1898,
when we at the risk of our lives
pledged ourselves to the cause of an
neXatlOn.
"Gentlemen, we have stood to our
guns nobly since that memorable day
through good and bad reports and now
that the clouds of dust arising from the
enemies of annexation have been
swept away, we come up here this af-
ternoon to renew our obligation,
pledge ourselves anew, and right here
and now devote our time, talents and
money, individually and as great

political body, to the cause of annex
alton, declaring that we will not give
up until we get there. Gentlemen, as
chairman of the Central Executive
Committee of the American Union
Party, now call this Convention to
order"
George w. Smith nominated Mr..
Kennedy for temporary chairman,
and be was chosen by a unanimous
vote. In accepting the position,
he urged that the delegates consider
matters with due deliberatiSn. John
Effinger was nominated secretary,
and d. L. Naone Temporary vice
president. A. X. AkaU was made as
sistant secretary.
The motion was made that a com
mittee on credentials be appointed.
Some of the delegates wanted two
committees appointed at the same
time so that time could be saved by the
dual consideration of business. Mr..
Sims objected to this, saying no bust
ness could be transacted until the Gre
dentials lad been examined. The
chair sustained him and appointed the
following members of the Credentials
Committee: \. w. Keech, w. 2.
O'Brien, d. Kaliipio and Thos.
Wright. They retired to the ante
room to examine the documents
presented them by the sergeant-at'
arms and reported them as correct
In order to save time, two committees
were appointed as soon as this report
was handed in; one on permanent
organization, and one on order OF
business.
The Chair appointed the following
as members of the Committee on Per

Republic Of HdWaii, az Contention
assembled, this 18Th day OF October,
1894, announce and declare these to
be 01e' Principles, and this the Plat
form of oto' Party.
I've declare unequiyocally that
the foremost mission of the American
Union Party shall continue TO be I'M
reserved effort to secure the political
union of Hawaii with the United
States of America.
Eve cordially commend the eff
cient, courageous and honorable con-
duct of public affairs by the officers OF
the Provisional Government and Re-
public of Hawaii.
3.-We are proud of the party's pol
icy of internal Improvements and de-
velopment, and in witness point to
the Inauguration of extensive public
works, to practical projects OF similar
nature, and to plans of settlement for
open lands.
Ave oppose the employment of
prison labor in any mechanical pur-
suit.
5.-We are opposed TO the employ
ment of Asiatics upon any public
work.
eve declare against the importa-
ton of labor or material of any kind
whatever by the Government.
I've recommend that the Gov
eminent at once secure absolute own
ership of all waterfront lands In every
harbor throughout the group where
the possession Of such lands by other

parties is detrimental to necessary
wharfage facilities.
S.-We favor a revision of the tax
system, whereby all property, i'm
proved and unimproved, shall be taxed
on an equitable basis, and recommend
a consideration of the graduated tax
system.
9.-We favor such legislation as will
promote the occupancy of all public
lands by small holders, and foster the
development of varied industries, be-
lieving it to be of vital Importance
that "many acres should be for many
men," We ask that Hawaiians have
the opportunity to secure homesteads
upon more favorable terms than
granted to others.
IO.-We are in hearty sympathy
with the spirit which actuated the
government in its dispatch of COM

for the industries of the Islands; as a
further earnest of the intent OF the
dominant party in these premises we
refer to the creation Of the Labor Com
mission by the Councils of the Re
public.

influence this party may possess to

grafton. In this connection we again
point to the menace of Asiatic en-
c~oachment, and demand legislative
protection from these people for Ha-
waiian, American and European me-
chanics and tradesmen.
I've urge the enactment at once
of a law that will cause the Asiatics
brought to these Islands for plantation
labor to cOntin in that service, or
return to their homes.
13.-We demand such revision of
the Tariff as will prohibit competition

deem necessary to insure the existence
