A HAWAIIAN CABLE.
The Senate Makes an Appropriation to
Begin Work.

Tho Senate Makes an Appropriation to
Begin Work.
Washington, Feb. 10.-By the decis-
I've vote of SO to 25 the Senate voted
yesterday to inaugurate the project of
laying cable from the Pacific coast
to Hawaii. An amendment to the dip
iomatic and consular appropriation bill
was made giving 100000 for begin
ming work on the cable and authoriz-
ing the president to contract for the
entire work, estimated to cost S3,0OO,-
OO0. This was the first practical re-
suit coming from the intermittent Ha-
waiian debate, lasting more than a
year and renewed with intensity the
last week In connection with the pro
posed cable. The debate of the last
few days has shown the lines of divis-
lon were practically the same as those
existing on all issues over Hawaii,
the Republican senators urging closer
relationship by cable, and ultimately
Dy annexation, the Democratic sen
ators as rule contending against the
proposed cable or other entangling al
liances with Hawaii. But this party
division had notable exceptions during
the debate and was emphasized in the
final vote. Six Democratic senator's
Morgan, German, Hill, Butler, Call and
White-voted with the twenty-eight
Republican senators and three Popu-
lists, constituting the majority for the
cable. One Republican senator, Mr.,
Pettigrew, voted with the twenty-four
Democrats against the cable. All the
absent Republicans and two Populists
were paired for the proposition. The
diplomatic and consular bill was then
passed, and then eulogies on the late
Senator Stockbridgs Of Michigan closed
the day.

A Grasshopper Raid.

'sI remember that during grasshop-

approach of the insects from the West.
I remember distinctly that it was in
the afternoon. At first l noticed
quite number between myself and
the sun. 1t was not long, however,
before they seemed to come in clouds.
The sun became darkened exactly as
though thunder storm were coming
up. They were flying perhaps 400 or
500 feet high. It must have been less
than an hour when the town was liter
ally covered with grasshoppers, and
in less than day there was not a
green thing to be seen anywhere. A
great many people dug trenches in
their yards, in the bottom of which
they had piled paper and kindling
wood. After sweeping hundreds of
the pests into these trenches they were
burned up. In walking along the
streets one would crush hoppers under
his feet. They went rs they had come

FACTS THEY FORGET.
FREE TRADE EDITORS FAIL TO
TELL FARMERS THE NEWS.

Sell $139. 100000 Less of Agricul.
turaI Products Than In 1902
A Wonderful Capture OF the
Markets of the World.
While the free trade papers have
been drawing particular attention to
an increase in the foreign trade of 25
different industries. saying nothing
about decrease in the exports OF Al
other manufae turing industries, they
have been equally reticent upon the
subject of our exports of agricultural
products. As these constitute more
than half of our total exports, they
are far too important to be over
looked. In fact the true workings of
any tariff law cannot be fairly exam
ined if such an omission be allowed.
Adopting the same system of compari-
son as the free traders instituted in
regard to the exports of 25 industries,
we give the comparative exports of
agricultural products for each month
of the present calendar year and the
corresponding months of 1894. We
supplement this with the values of ag-
ricultural exports during each month
of 1892, the year when our best pro-
tective tariff was in undisturbed opera
ton:
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1895-12-06

Eight months, January 1 to August
81, 1895.
In 1892, under undisturbed protec-
ton, the products of the farm repre-
sented 1860 per cent. of our total ex-
ports. For the 1895 fiscal year they
were per cent. less, and the proper
tion for eight months of the 1895 cal
endar year is 1904 per cent. less.
Farmers are making most remarka.
ole capture of the markets of the
world. The results of the Democratic
tar,tf Indicate that it must have been
designed for the express purpose of
ipiuring the farmer and of benefting
come Of the manufacturers by increas
ing their trade in the markets of the
world. 1t looks like monopoly meas
ure, framed to benefit the few at the
expense of the many and, remarkable
to relate, the few comprise some of
the "Robber Barons," those enemies
that the free traders pretended-be-
fore election--t they wanted to de-
stroy and root out hip and thigh,
whose very existence was an eyesore
because their success in their Ameri-
can business was hindrance to the
success of foreigners. But the free
traders are now struggling to show how
the very tariff law which they passed
has been of benefit to the "Robber
Barons," while they entirely ignore
the hundreds of millions OF dollars OF
destruction that they have wrought
upon the poor deluded farmers.

How to Raise Revenue.

It is reported from Washington that
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
under instructions from the President
is preparing to recommend an increase
of taxes upon beer and tobacco and
the imposition of new taxes on other
articles in the shape OF stamp taxes
with the endeavor to procure in this
manner an increase of the revenues.
There should be positive refusal on
the part of the new Republican Con-
gress to authorize any new revenue
excepting by the enlargement of the
tariff duties by restoring the repealed
Mckinley duties upon wool and manu-
factures thereof. The coming session
of Congress will be guilty of tho be.
trayal of trust confded to it by the
people if it shall consent at Mr..
Cleveland's dictation to an imposition
of another dollar of direct taxation on
the industries of this Nation. If the
President will not agree to an advance
of the customs duties he should be
resisted by Congress to the bitter end,
for there is no reason why President
Cleveland should be permitted to have
his way in opposition to the will OF
the people who elected the present
Congress, because the Nation desired
to repudiate him and all that he stands
for.-Theodore Justice.

Trim to a Fixed Star.

There is q perpetual fascination
about the stars and the immense dis
tances at which they lie from one an
other and from us. 70 demonstrate
the vast distance of Centauri from
this planet popular scientist gives
the following illustration in Answers:
"We shall suppose that some wealthy
directors, for want of outlet for their
energy and capital, construct rail-
way to Centauri. We shall neglect,
for the present, the engineering diff
culties-a mere detail-and suppose
them overcome and the railway open
for traffic. We shall go further, and
suppose that the directors have found
the construction of such railway to
have been peculiarly easy. and that
the proprietors of intersteller space
had not been exorb1tant in their terms
for the right of way.
Therefore, with view to encourage
traffic, the directors had made the
fare exceedingly moderase, viz, first
class at one penny per 100 miles. De-
string to take advantage of these
facilities, gentleman, by way of pro-
viding himself with small change for

Good Views to Endorse.

In many business there has been
an awakening, but in no business has
there appeared the safe prosperity that
existed after the passage of the Nc.
Kinley tariff bill. Since the Wilson
bill was passed there has not been o
single new Industry introduced from a
foreign country into this country.
That is mark of prosperity that the
Wilson bill is powerless to place upon
this country. It was an accomplished
object of the Mckinley bill. Was
there single industry driven from the
country by the Mckinley bill? No.
On the other hand, the Wilson bill has
driven the plush business from the
city of Bridgeport and elsewhere. The
plush business is only one of many ex-
pelled by Wilson bill circumstances.
One OF the planks adopted by the
next National Republican Convention
must be plank endorsing the tariff
views of Governor Mckinley. Brook
