 from those islands was, and is under the law of 1894, admitted free. The language of the sched- ule quoted is: Provided further, that noth- ing herein contained shall be so construed as to abrogate or in any manner impair or affect the provisions of the treaty of commercial re- ciprocity concluded between the United States and the king of the said islands on the 30th day of January 1895, or the provisions of any act of congress heretofore passed for the execution of the same"
 This provision was inserted in the law by the senate. It gives to the great sugar trust, said Gov. Mckinley, an advantage that has not heretofore been suspected. The sugar produc- tion of the Hawaiian islands Is under the con- trol of the sugar trust; that country is the field of it's primary operations. The democratic party took away from the sugar raisers of the United States the bounty of s10,O0DOOO Q year and bestowed bounty of S6,000,000 year on the sugar producers of the Hawaiian islands, giving them an advantage over not only the sugar producers of the United States but of the whole world outside of these islands.
 SACRED CONTRACT.
 The sugar producer of the Sandwich islands profits by that tariff of 40 per cent, while upon all other sugars the 40 per cent goes into the treasury of the United States. do not ques- tion. my fellow-citlzens, nor discuss tn c pro- priety of maintaining that treaty inviolate, but there were other treaties made by the govern- ment of the United States twice as sacred When we made the tariff law of 1890 and took away all the tariff from sugar we gave to the cane producers and the beet producers and the maple sugar producers bounty equivalent to the tariff, and we said in that law that that bounty should stand for fifteen years. That Is all wiped out by the law of 1891. Not even the bounty of this year is given to the crop that has already been supervised by the govern : ment of the United States. By that law this is taken from the sugar producers of the coun- try What is there more sacred In reclprocl- ty treaty with forei gn country than Tn solemn contract made with our own citizens!
 The revolt of the Louisiana planters against the party which had smitten them so heavily was referred to, and Gov. Mckinley pointed out that it was the republican party, so freely accused of sectionalism, which conferred ben efits upon them which had been opposed by democratic statesmen and removed as soon as they had an opportunity to do so The governor maintained that instead of being sectional the republican party had shown itself to be en- tirely unsectional, broad and unselfsh in its purposes and national in it's politics.
 Democracy was criticised for increasing the salaries of certain officials at time when the revenues of the country fell below the expend- itureS and the money question was touched on, Gov. Mckinley saying:
 THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
 ''Our money is all good, whether 1t be gold or silver, whether 1t be national bank notes, or greenbacks, or treasury, or gold or silver certl1- icates; every dollar is good Toget the money out among the people is the serious problem to-day. To do this we must not only have something to sell, but be able to find some body to buy. No matter what we have to sell, if there is nobody able to buy who want 1t, we must keep it. If we are compelled to keep 1t, we suffer the loss, in whole or in part of what 1t costs us to produce.
 The banks are filled with money; money was never more plentiful, or less employed than 1t is now, It Is because it Is not employed, be- cause we have the stagnatlon in business which dlstresses the countrv and the reason 1t IS not ,,ln il thn invitation to safe and profitable investment is not presented.
 It Is not the lack of money, nor the kind Of money, that is our trouble; 1t is the lack Of prosperous manufacturing ana the absence or confidence in the party managing the govern ment. and we want faith in the future, When confidence and hope are everywhere manifest- ed manufacturers are busy and laoor IS em- with fair profits and with fair wages then agri- culture is prosperous and money has free md healthy circulation.
