White Merchants Complain Of japanese
Competition.
1t is Crowding Them to the Wall and
Largely Cutting Into American
Trade and mpOrtations-AnA Aus
trian Naval Officer Enthusiastic
Over Pearl Harbor-LiCense of a
Large Firm of Japanese Con-
tractors Cancelled by Their Gov
ernment.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Special
correspondence of the United Press from
Hawaii is as follows:
HONOLULU, July 1S.-The Japanese
Government has cancelled the license of
OSura & Co., the largest local Japanese
firm of contractors supplying labor to
plantations. The reasons for this action
are not known at the Japanese Consul
late, but from other sources it is learned
that the firm has been reported for al
legged crookedness in carrying out labor
contracts here.
The Mexican corvette Zaragosa and
the Austrian cruiser Saida left Honolu-
Ill last Saturday, the former for the
South Seas and the latter for Yokohama
In an interview with a representative
OF the United Press regarding Pearl
Iiarbor, the United States port in
Hawaii, Captain Spieler of the Saida
said: Yes, sir; Pearl Harbor is mag
nificent. You cannot find a better place
You place torpedo inside; you place a
torpedo outside and you fear nothing.
1t is magnificent place"
There is considerable complaint by
white merchants that they are being
crowded to the wall by the competition
OF japanese shops and the importations
CT the cheap merchandise of Japan. 1t
is alleged that japanese trade here is
not only seriously affecting local white
trade, but that it is also largely cutting
into American trade and importations,
as will become painfully evident when
the customs returns for the coming year
are in.
The planters of Hawaii, who have
been quietly at work for months to
shelve the popular question of annexa-
tion, have now reached a point where
they do not strive to hide their real OBJ
ject, which may be briefly summed up
as expressed by one of their leaders a
few days since to your correspondent:
mo, cannot say that all our planters
are opposed to annexation, but l can
say that we are all united to back any
compromise of the annexation question
which will secure from outside interfer-
guarantee us all the cheap labor under
our present contract system that our
sugar development may demand. MANY
think United States protectorate will
do all this for us better than annexation.
| do not think we will ever get annexa-
ton, and / doubt if we want it, so long
as we can enjoy reciprocity with the
United States and not be interfered
with. ] do not think, however, the pres
ent is the right time TO discuss the uues-
ton of our contract labor system or the
dangers of Japanese trade competition
Let us wait for that until we are out of
the woods

THURSDAY
THE FACTS.

Mr.. Bub BRYANT informs the DEMO-
Graf that the statement IN the Morning
Herald that he refused to agree to receive
payment for o 5000 note from Mr.. Pete
Dewall in silver in case of Bryan's elec-
ton, was not trne. Not only that, but it
was Mr.. Bryant's own proposition that
he would receive silver or any other legal
tender money in case Bryan was elected.
A day or two ago MIR. bryant voluntar-
lily struck out gold from note and put in
silver. That is the size of his faith.
Falsehood will not count. In justice to
Mr.. Dewall it may be said that he was
not too blame for the statement. It does
him an injustice.
This cheap talk about cheap silver dol
lars does not take with most people.
