Forty Years Ago.

Mr.. CLEVELAND has expressed to Con-
gress his dlsapproval OF the project enter
tanned by the Government OF the United
States. last winter for the annexation of
islands OF the sea. more than 1000 miles
removed from our nearest coast" He has
not called attention. however. to tho fact
that as long ago as the year 1884. the
United States endeavored to annex islands
situated at that distance. In a word tho self
same Hawaiian archipelago that has now
been offered to us again That effort was
made. too. by genuine Democratic Ad-
ministration. and the head Of the Depart
ment OF State was very superior man as
well as genuine and typical Democrat,
WILLIAM L. MARCY.
In despatch to Mr.. GREGG our repre-
sentative at Honolulu. Secretary MARCY.
with an eagerness which Mr.. CLEVELAND
would probably consider repreh enslble,
went out to meet the proposal OF annexa-
ton half way:
"rhs information contained in your despatch No
10 dated the It'll OF February renders It highly prob
able that the ruling powers OF that Government VIII
have presented to you. as our diplomatic agent an
oner OF the sovereignty OF their country the United
statsG Tue President has deemed II proper that YOU
should be furnished wish instructions for the guidance
Of your conduct Ia slch emergency. WITH this de.
spateh you will be furnished WIKI fun power to treat
with the present AuhlrisS OF the Hawaiian Govern.
msa' torths transfer of the Sandwich Islands to the
United sIAIsa"
Mr.. MARCY then proceeded to say that no
tntimatlOn had been given To the Govern
ment as TO tho conditions upon which the
Offer would be made by Hawaii. and this
puts his alacrlty in welcoming it in still
stronger contrast with what We see to-day,
He expressed the hope. however. that
something more than a mere protectorate
10 contemplated. since that would create
heavy and responsible duties. without the
assurance OF compensating advantages:
~ understand that the proposed by the psO
pie Aad that in which the present rulers posed 10
eoneuT' 10 annexation as distinguished from pTOtec
tion; and that It IL their intent on that these
shall become part OF our territories and be under
hs control Of this dovsrnmsn fully any OF
i1 territorial possssslohL"
After reiterating this point Of complete
transfer OF sovereignty, with annexation,
Mr.. MARCY proposed 10 compensate "tho
present rulers and chiefs " for the surrender
OF their political rights. and suggested an
nulties Of $1,000 for that purpose.
II Is a well-knOwn fact that. under this
encouragement, MT. GREGG negotiated a
treaty OF annexation. IL contained, how
ever. two provisions which our Government
would not accept. One was that Hawaii
should immediately be made a State Of the
Union instead of a Territory only. and the
other that the King should receive S3OO.OOO
In annuItles instead Of $4,000. We can
well understand that In those days the
former objection was vital Hawaii was
not then tit 10 bs State. The resident for
eign population was very small. the

Robbed His Memory.

Professor WILSON'S memory has been ser-
ously impaired since 1892. but there arc
moments when no has flashes OF TCcnl!cc-
ton. When lie wrote this passage for the
January Forum. for instance:
Every American voter UNDERWOOD when the neon.
turned all the law making branebo. OF ihs GOV.
ernmsnt to the democratic rarity. that they Put that
party in power with deliberate Instructions to reieAl
the McKIaLET act, and to reverse the principles on
which all tue tArir laws OF tue previous thirty years
had been framed"
What tanglo in his convolutions makes
Professor WILSON remember what the cam
paign Of 1892 was about when lie is writ
ing q magazine article, and forget that
campaign when lac goes into the rooms Of tho
Committee OnWays and Means IIo doesn't
remember accurately and entirely. To be
sure Not merely were tho principles to be
reversed on which tariffs since 1861 had
been made. hut n principle was to DO intro
duced not hitherto disclosed or observed in
the making oiany tariff. including the old
fashioned Democratic moderate protective
tariff. the principle that no duty could be
laid constitutionally for any other purpose
than revenue.
lIowdOes ProiessorWILsoN's performance
compare with his Instructions as reported
by himself He proposes to repeal the Nc
KSLEY act only to reGnact It under his own
name. not vitality or substantially changed.
and breathing robbery in every line. In
stead Of reversing he is following the prn.
ciples upon which all Republican tariffs have
besn constructed; and tho Constitution and
the tariff for revenue only are not in it.
Protection seems TO have robbed the closet
oracle Of tariff reform Of his memory.

Powerful as our Government 10, 1t never had or can

1t will DO observed that the date ON which
the Hon. BENTON MCMILLIN held this
opinion. or professed to hold 1t. Is very re-
cent. 1t was only last Saturday that Mr..
MCMILLAN declared that, powerful as our
Government is, it never had or can have
authority to tax one man to make anot her s
vocation pay.
Taxing one man for the benefit OF an
others business Is protection. Mr.. Nc
MILLIN therefore merely asserts what was
declared In the Chicago platform. namely.
that the Government has no constitutional
power to Impose or collect tariff duties ex-
cept for tho purpose Of revenue only.
And yet. so far ms is publicly known. the
author OF this sentiment. renewing for 1894
tho Democracy's pledge Of 1892, has never
raised his voice or used his vote to protest
against the report Of his Committee on
Ways and Means urging Congress TO enact
tariff bill which 1t offers as protectionist
measure. and which is confessedly based
on no other principle than that OF taxing
one man to make another's vocation pay.
Do words mean nothing to the Hon.
HENToN MCMILLIN's mind? Is the habit
OF making promises which are not intended
to be kept. 80 strong upon him that he can
not open his mouth or use his pen without
unconsclously exhibiting himself and his
associates as repudators OF obligations
deliberately assumed? Does the Hon.
BENTON McMILLIN imagine that we are
yet In 1892. the year for making promises,
instead OF In 1894. the year for redeeming
those promises
Or are suggestions Of that sort unjust to
Mr.. McMILLIS Of the Democratic Commit
tee on Ways and Means; and Is he now pre-
pairing TO stand up In the House, like man
OF honest courage, and to denounce as I'M
constitutional and Infamous the WILSON
tariff swindle. because it proposes to tax
one man to make anothers vocation pay?
