by adopting the Hawaiian resolution
by so decisive a vote-55 to O. The
W. solulion i. as fa!Ih
Resolved. by the Senate Of tie United
States, that Of right it belongs wholly to
the people of Hawaii to establish aud
maintain there own form of government
and domestic policy; that The Uni'ed
States ought not in any way to inter-
fere therewith, aud that interference in
the political affairs Of these islands by
any other government will be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the United Sia'es.
This resolution is a compromise in its
wording. 1t means the same as the re-
solution offered by Senator Kyle which
simply declares strongly that the United
States shall not in .erfere to restore Queen
Liliuokalani. This languag. was 50
blunt that Villas and the euckoos labored
to have it modified But the meaning
remains under the verbiago The reso-
luton simply means that the Senate de
clares against any interference by this

that the wheat crop in that section will
be total failure. There will be very
little wheat raised west of the center of

light showers
The people Of that section are lily pre-

Hundreds Of farmers are without means

other year, and the prospects of another
failure will force many to leave the
country The people have held on with
the hope that the climatic conditions
would change, but they can remain no
longer, and will he forced to leave before
another cold winter comes.
Thousands of farmers have lost all
they possessed by remaining in West
crn Kansas waiting for crop. Year
after year they have seen their corn aud
wheat withered by the hot winds, while
they ha 5een compelled to dispose Of

ing sources:
Customs duties (tarifi S203. 355.017

Sales of public lands 3 Isl, 900
Miscellaneous soureeI -IS.253, 292
Total revenue for tie yeuS8S5 1S6 529
1t will be seen that ,ba grea, bulk of
the nations reven les comes from two
sourees-'he duties pnii on Imported
goods, and from intefral revenue taxa
ton which includes tae United States
tax on liquors. tobacco and cigars, aud
on olcomargarine. More than half its
total revenue comes from duties on i'm
ported goods.
In view of these facts, die tariff ques-
ton, 50 far as the government is con
cerned. resolves itself into this: If du-
ties are reduced, or taken off entirely,
the revenue viii be reduced; the expen-
ditures remain practically the same;
what Jew source of revenue must we
have, in order to raise enough money to
pay Federal expenses.
The Republican answer IS, that all for
eign products which, because of climate,
etc., We cannot produce should rome in
free; that all other imports, of the same
kind as we can or do produce enough for
our own consumption, should pay duty;
that people who buy imported goods are
able to pay the increased price due to tue
duty; and that all tle manufactured nee
essaries of life can be obtained of Amer
lean manufacture, which Of course pay
no duty.
The Demo cratic answer is somewhat
mixed. But taking tie Senate tariff
bill as the authoritative reply, it is, that
tle duties on some things (rotably those
produced down Sodh) should be kept at
the protective point, chat all others should
be reduced, and tlst the deficit 10 the
revenues shall be made up by an income
tax.
