With grim humor the great indus

months from the passage of the new

There has been no such example since
the same false predictions were made
OF the democratic tariff 'sblight" OF
1916. Within less than two years after
the passage of the tariff of 1916 the OPP
position TO il. even in Icnnsylvania,
had died away. The opposition to the
present tariff promises to be OF still
shorter duration.
For the purpose of making an offset to
the innumerable repsrts of industrial
prosperity the tariff organs have raised
a great clanAor about the enormous i'm
portations of wool and wooden goods
within the last fonr months. and resort
to the tricky device of making compar-
ison with the corresponding period in
1894, when the country was in the

parison with 1892 or 1893 would not

how badly off our crockcry industry is
;inder free trade. II is true that the
tin plate industry has been wonderful-
ly prosperous since Wilson made a A.
per cent. reduction in the duty on tin
plates-reduccd from ELS TO / Is cents
per pound. 1t is also true that the
crockery industry is not as prosperous
as il should be-snce Wilson reduced
duties from 20 to ~ per cent. or an
average Of only about 81 per cent.
But what is the inference 10 be drawn
from the tin plate and crockcrv indus
tries? Is it not that the crockcry is
not "a prosperous as the tin plate in
dustrv because the duty on crockc-y
was not reduced as much as the duty
ON tin plate?
There is more in this theory than
most protectionists are willing "a
admit. Thus. the crockery industry
has enjoyed high protection SO long
that il has become fall of trusts that
sustain prices. lower wages. hold
factories idle. and discourage inven-
tions and improvements. If the pro-
lection duty had been abolished or re-
duccd sufficiently to smash the most OF

employment to more labor than is now
employed. The tin plate industry be-
ing new one and having gotten its
start not mainly because of protection
but because of great improvements
had not time under Mckinley duties.
to get into solid petrificd trusts that
would make il one of the protected

plate be not reduced greatly during
the next four years. it will have ceased

VOICE OF TIE PRESS.

1t was cruel to tell Queen Lii
in the hour of adversely that that
present from her great and good
friend in Washington was all a
joke played on her by some de-
signing courtier. Real kindness
would have kept her in the blissful
belief that she had at least one de-
voted Observation-Disclosures Star.
The Yorktown has performed
more than her share of duty. Sent
to Wei Hai-Wei to rescue any fugi-
tive missionaries there she has re-
turned to Cheefoo with a cargo of
thirteen, upsetting a host of super
stitions. The presence of so lucky
a vessel at Hawaii might be equally
eficacious in dispelling misconcep-
tons and saving as many mission
aries sons from the ultimate con-
sequence of the latest emeute.-
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The Republic of Hawaii demon
strated it capacity to govern the
Islands when it promptly sup
pressed the rebellion of January 6,
1895. It is not going wide Of the
mark to say that the Hawaiian
Government, in it's excellent and
efficient exercise of governmental
authority, gave the Administration
at Washington the most complete
rebuke ever administered in dis
tant land. There Is now eager
desire in Washington to save the
lives of conspirators who were
caught "red handed" in open re-
bellion to constituted authority. 1t
is not the business of the United
States TO tell Hawaii how she must
treat her rebels. If we prefer to
pardon, promote and exalt ours,
it is no sign that we should insist
on other nations following our ex-
ample. If it seems clear to the
Republic of Hawaii that extreme
measures only can prevent recur-
renee of rebellion in that quarter,
then let extreme measures be en-
forced. The people of Hawaii are
anxious for the friendship. conf
dence and protection of the United
States. The sentiment in favor of
actual annexation to this country is
very strong. 1t seems plainly our
duty as a nation 20 either annex
Hawaii or bestow that protection
from foreign interference which the
Island people so clearly desire

The announcement that none of
the death sentences in Hawaii will he

would have been impossible for the
Americsn-P party to kill prisoners for
in a civil war. They are
bonnd by the great traditions OF |
their own history and national pride |
should forbid their departing from
the same aud reducing themselves to !
he level of an effete Europe. More
over, the queens friends were ouly
lighting to give her majesty her own

party which has so grossly violated

THE LATEST CABLE STORY.

The reports of probable negOtia-
tions for Pacific cable construction
by the combined enterprise of Ha-
waii, Japan, Russia, France and
the United States are undoubtedly
the result of some correspondent
unearthing the scheme championed
by General A. S. Hartwell some
four years ago. During the fall of
1891 General Hartwell went to
Washington and presented to Sec
rotary Blaine and others prominent
in the executive and legislative
affairs a plan for cable construc-
ton by a combination of nations
including the United States, Ha-
wall, England, Germany, France,
Russia and China. His idea was
for the United States to take the
initiative and lay the cable to this
country, relying upon the other
countries mentioned to extend the
line to their various domains. It
was then proposed that the nations
interested should by treaty
declare the cable a neutral posses
sion in event of war. The scheme
met with general approval in the
United States, and the representa-
tives of Germany at Washington
also gave evidence that their Gov
eminent would look favorably
UPON such a movement. A propo-
sition was made for General Hart
we'll to place the matter before the
various Governments in person,
but owing to the press Of private
affairs he returned to this country
and the matter dropped, 80 far as a
contamination of the plan was con-
cerned.
II can readily be seen that the
United States would be heartily in
favor of such an arrangement, since
by controlling the link from Cali
fornia to Hawaii, it would hold the
key TO the situation from a COM
mercial point of view, which state
Of affairs might be looked upon
with some apprehension by Eng
land. The other powers in
terested, however, particularly
Russia, would be ready to
accept proposition giving
them Geographic communication
free from British dictation. The
neutrality treaty is certainly an ad-
vance step of civilization and would
prevent a dictatorial control which
might arise through declaration of
var. 1t is possibly an advance too
marked to receive the approval of
1ations jealous of the rights they
night exercise in time of war, pro-
