As soon as the lower house of
congress. had passed a bill that
would give the people free sugar,
and take unreasonable profits from
the sugar trust, letter was writ
ten by Secretary of the Treasury
Carlisle warning the senate that if
the duty on sugar was cut off the
government would run behind $50,
600, 900 a year. But, Of course, the
Democratic party is opposed to
trusts. About the only thing the
party can pride(?) itself en- is cut
ting down pension appropriations

Democratic senators are predict
ing that the receipts Of the govern
ment from customs duties will be
greatly incr eased by the new tariff
law, as much larger amount of

ted than heretofore. Laboring
men who have been manufacturing
goods in this country will now
wonder what they will do when
the floods of foreign goods come
in. It is clear that the American
laborer must do less work, if large
amounts of foreign goods are to

When the promised increased
importation Of foreign goods takes
place as promised by the support
ers of the new tariff law it will be
difficult for the American laborer
who formerly was employed in
making those classes Of goods in
this country to discover where
s'tariff reform" helps him after he
has lost his job. But it will help
the farmer, will it? When that
laborer loses his job in the factory
or mill that used to make the goods
that are now imported, there is no
question Of what he will be com.
PEELED to do. He will become a
farmer, and moi. only stop buying
farm products, but will raise them
and compete in the market with
the man from whom he used to
buy. The increased production of
farm products will take place at a
time the American market for pro-
ducts is decreased, and how that
will help the American farmer it
is difficult to see. Every present
American industry that is injured
by greatly increased foreign I'M
Eportations will drive more men
from the factories onto the farms.
The factory man does not go onto
the farm from choice, but when he
loses his job he IS forced to enter
agriculture, as he. can there at
least raise enough to eat. The
destructio Of American industries
will be as unfortunate for the
farmer as for the laborer.

GOOD ADVICE.
J. W. Kalua Gives Some Of It to
His Royalist Friends.

J. w. Kalua was entertained
yesterday by number of royal
lists. After dinner he was called
on for q speech, in which he told
his friends that he would take his
place in the convention as the
guardian of the rights of his fellow
Hawaiians, who had puS them
selves in the position of minors, by
their refusal to take any part IN
the proceedings of the convention.
When the constitution was adopt.
ed, he hoped that his royalist
friends would accept it IN good
faith so that they could again go
hand IN hand. This sentiment
was received with warm demon
STATIONS of applause.
Kalua claims that the royalists
are not expecting the restoration
of Mrs. Dominis- Some of them,
like Kahookano, are in favor of
the republic, but Ashford has filed
them up with anti-missionary talk,
so that they stood off and refused
to take any part.

TEST OF THE SOLAROMETER
A New Instrument Likely to Take
the Place Of the SeXtant.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Lieut.
w. A. Beeler, of the Navy Hydro
graphic Office, has returned from a
trip to Europe on the Weimar,
made by authority of Secretary
Herbert, to test the new aid to
navigation, the solarometer, an in
strument intended to replace the
sextant aboard ship in showing
the exact position of vessel. 1t
has many points of advantage over
the sextant in accuracy and free
dom from long arithmetical calcu-
lation. One feature of the greatest
value is the capacity of the instru-
ment to record observations in fogs
when the sun or stars shine dimly,
or the horizon cannot be seen and
the sextant Is useless to locate the
ship. The lieutenant reports the
instrument worked admirably on
the Weimar under all kinds of
weather, and the North German
Lloyd Company is making arrange
ments to equip all their vessels
with it. It is probable the instru-
ment will also be used in our
navy.
