When The INDEPENDENT refers to
rumors of a revolution, we do so
from the statements made in the
Star and the Advertiser. References
to sedition on the part OF Captain
Good were made by the Star and
the Advertiser that stated that the
Commander of the Army expressed
himself to the effect that Goods
offense was of such nature that in
time of war he would be shot. Talk
about revolutions, etc. always
emanate from Mr.. Dole's friends
The opposition never dream of over
turning the Government except at
the ballot box. 1t is the statements
of Government spies, the Govern
ment organs and the actions of GER
tain officials which entitle us to say
that Hawaii is in the throes of a
revolution.

Now he says that he will try to
arrange the new loan issue in New
York. If he cannot do it there he
and his English friend Rithet will

Mr.. Jones cannot borrow money
under the terms Of the act passed
by the last Legislature. He Dragged
that he could do it west OF the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is now claim
ed by him and his mouthpiece that
he can do it in New York or Lon
don. We are willing to bet him a
new hat that he cannot convert our
national loan to 4 percent loan even
If he travels to the North Pole.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

The paragraph is undoubtedly
penned by Mr.. Jones, who dislikes
the position in which he has placed
himself. His mission will be an
utter failure and we suppose that he
will blame THE INDEPENDENT aud our
friends, and try as he apparently
does, to suppress us and have the
Editor brought before our judicial
tribunes
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Before saying few words in re-
CARDS to our paper and its editor, so
strongly abused, we will again en-
phasize that Mr. 7, @, Jones is sail
ing under false pretenses.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Now in regard to Jones we will
reprint the following paragraph
from this mornings Advertiser:
The responsibility of floating the
refunding loan now rests with the
Hon. p. @. Jones, the agreement be-
tween the Government and Mr..
Jones having been signed, sealed
and delivered prior to the departure
of the Belgic.
The bonds which Mr.. Jones has
to look after amount to $3,330,000
By the Refundng Act passed by the
Legislature, discount OF FIVE per-
cent and commission OF two per-
cent is allowed, and according to
the agreement made with the execu-
tive, Mr. Jones is given until Nov
ember /, 1896, to consummate the
deal
In speaking of the matter last
evening Mr.. Jones said there was
very little to be said outside the
statement that he had made the
necessary agreement with the Exc
cutive to float the loan. He learned
shortly after his arrival that he
would be given the first option, and
since that time he has been devoting
his attention to preparing the de-
tails of the agreement with the Ex-
ecutive Council. When asked
whether American or English CAPT
tai would be sought, Mr.. Jones said /:
81 shall make the supreme effort
OF my life to float those bonds in
the United States, and [ think can
do it, although l do not care to
make any rash statement at this
time"
Mr.. Jones will leave for the United
States by the next Australia at the
latest, unless private business mat
ters require his attention here for a
longer time. He will probably pro-
ceed at once to New York and place
the excellent financial goods which
he now has at his disposal before
the capitalists there as soon as
possible.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

simply opposes the principles of the
men who have been 1877 years" in
the country (more or less) when at
tempts are made to obtain money
without telling the truth and the
whole truth. -
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

1t is easy for the hired scribblers
of the subsidized press to denounce
THE INDEPENDENT and pour abuse on
its writers. Who are they that they
should dare to write that, "they are
malcontents who endeavor to attract
attention by besmrching our public
men and public measures with all
the mud OF political virulence they
can scrape up. They have no per-
sonal standing. they represent moth
ing, and the least spark Of loyalty
to the best interests of the cWlrtry
in which they live is not to be- found
within the four pages which they
cover with printers ink"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Through petty jealousy and self
interest, the bill Of Mr. Damon was
defeated. The INDEPENDENT fought
against it on broad principles, but
never approved of the miserable
substitute bill which now is law and
according to which Mr. Jones pre-
tends to borrow millions.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

go to London. That was the place
where,the refundiug business might
have been accomplished, If the origi-
nal proposals to the Legislature of
Minister Damon had been accepted.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Why should people lend us money
at 4 percent as long as minority
Government is tolerated and general
dissatisfaction is the order OF the
day7 Dare Mr.. Jones go to the
capitalists OF New York or London,
and honestly offer bonds issued by
Government, hated and despised
by the Hawaiians and their friends2
Individually Mr.. Dole and his Min
listers are esteemed and well-liked
But no satisfactory excuse can ever
be made for the manner in which
they obtained the control of Ha-
waits Government. Mr.. Jones will
tell his tale. He will meet the
marble" heart because the truth is
known in regard to Hawaii. He
will not get cent because all will
know that he is sailing under false
pretenses when he tries to float the
new loan. So fer Mr.. Jones. Now
few words in regard to the virulent
attacks made against our paper and
the Editor in the official organs.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Colonel Macfarlane and Minister
Damon may probably convert our
national debt, They have influence
in London and they do not travel
under false pretenses. Why they
have not undertaken to float our
national loan we do not know. If
they had made an effort, success
would have been the case and the
country would perhaps have been
better of.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

Personal standing may be what
the hired "malihini" of the Adver-
tiser, the pet lamb of Stevens, is
seeking for among the crew that he
has fallen, who was created through
ten-cent subscriptions taken up in
the American Sunday schools. The
INDEPENDENT people have got all the
personal standing wanted in this
funny little community. They have
got one thing which the imported
Journalists totally lack, and that
is true political principles and an
honest, sincere feeling against false
pretenses.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-25

1t is of no earthly use to re- hash
the arguments advanced by the
INDEPENDENT from time to time
against the refundiug bill. Mr.
Jones will frd that his mission is a
failure and he will come back a sad
der and wiser man as he did when
he returned from his spool and
shuttle Excursion"

The Boston Globe Of Monday contained

The Boston Globe Of Monday contained
an account of the adventures OF reporter
who went to Baltimore to find out why no
presidential election was held there this
fall. The account says that the ticket
agent at Bellows Falls had never heard Of
Baltimore, and implies that what the agent
doesn't know about geography would fill
several volumes. 1t was discovered that
the first selectman, w. r. Bryant, and the
constable, w. A. Day, were both candi-
dates for the legislature and that Bryant
got more of Baltimore's II votes than did
Day and that Day for revenge neglected to
post a call for the November election
and consequently no election was held
Although the population Of Baltimore j,
only about 60 and there are only II voters
three of them democrats, they seem to
know thing or two about politics.

people if they wish to get well, if they
desire to get back their health and
strength, to use DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy because he
knows from personal experience, from
it's use in his own family and among
his friends, and from having observed
time and time again its wonderful cur
alive powers, that it will surely and
certainly cure, that twill give strength
to the weak, strong nerves to the nerv-
Gus, natural refreshing sleep to the
sleepless, perfect digestion to the dys-
peptic, rich, red blood to the feeble,
freedom from pain to the rheumatic, in
fact, sound and vigorous health to all
who use it.

people and publicly identified with the
history of the United States for more
than hundred years. His father was

If you are a sufferer from weakness
or disease, do not hesitate to take DR..
Greene's Nervura and get well after
such a testimonial from SO illustrious
and distinguished Statesman.
Do you think so eminent man Of
such high official position would lend
his name and give his emphatic advice
to use DIR. Greene's Neryura unless lie
knew positively it's great value, It's
wondrous power to cure? lie knows
that his words will be needed and his
advice to use this grand remedy fol-

he unhesitatingly tells the people,
speaking the welcome truth to the sick
with the voice and dignity of official
authority, that DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy will cure the
weak and suffering, will give health
and strength, renewed life, restored
energies and the zest and happiness of

TROUBLE WITH THE MILK RATES.

A Communication from President Grausteip,
also Mr.. SmalIey-What Surplus Means
Why Farmers are not Getting II Cents Per
Can.
The following letter is from F. o. Small
ley, local manager for the Boston Dairy
company:
Mr.. Belknap of the TIMES called at the
factory of the Boston Dairy company week
before last and gave him the prices snd
amount OF milk now received. 1 told hin
that the price of milk delivered at the car
or factory in Bellows Falls was 81 cents in
Guiding the surplus. This last he omitted
to state. / said also that the cost of deliv.
ering was three cents per can and that i.
what it averages.
The Westminster collector gets three
cents per can for carrying part of the mill
and two cents for the rest. G. E. Far
gets two cents for some and three for some
according to the distance. The Chester
collector has hard route and gets four
G. +. Rumrill has hard route also anC
he gets four. F. n. Pierce of Putney get
two and the Alstead collector three, SC
that on the average it amounts to about
three cents per can for collecting.
For October the farmers were paid the
card price Of 81 cents per can for "a dayl
and the butter price for seven days. Tn,
farmers all understand that they now sci
milk under the surplus clause. The New
England Farmer and The New England
Homestead both publish the amount o
milk received by contractors and tn,
amount Of surplus and think that here
after when farmers get their checks the,
will more fully understand about the sur
plus and how it is reckoned.
We all agree that w. B. Pratt is goot
cheese maker and had he done as well a
g. f. Rumrill for the Boston Dairy com
pany and the farmers doubtless he would
be selling milk and running the so-callet
Rockingham route still.
We plead guilty to emitting to mention
the surplus arrangement. The surplus
clause which we understand the farmer
agreed to for the present six months is:
In case the milk received by the con
tractors and not sold for use as milk, shall
exceed FIVE per cent of the entire sales o.
the month. then for what excess over and
above the five per cent the contractors shall
pay only what said excess is worth for but.
ter, taking the average price of butter fol
the month; and the value of the surplu:
milk manufactured into butter shall be de.
terTnined by a committee of farmers and
contractors.

In conversation with Mr.. Smalley we

In conversation with Mr.. Smalley we
learned the following. The company has
been running milk from this station into
Boston for about six years, running one
car. Last summer for time two cars were
run. The company makes contracts for
six months at time, that is states what the
price will be for six months, but the far
mers are at liberty to cease at any time. In
other words there is no legally binding con-
tract. The contractors make prices for
six months because they make six months
contracts with the Boston milk men.
The surplus here arises in two ways;
sometimes there is more than car load
and only one car goes from this section
then in Boston the milk men sometimes
take more and sometimes less. The con-
ira actors stand five per cent of the surplus
at the rate of Fl cents can delivered at
the Bellows Falls station, and by the agree
ment the former are to stand the rest at
the butter price. The contractors claim
that the farmers are getting on the surplus
all they could realize If it was made into
butter and for most Of their milk are get
ting more than they could if they made it
into butter.
/ This is the first time that the surplus
arrangement has been worked in this sec
ton and it is for the farmers to determine
whether they can use their milk to better
advantage in another way. The weak
point in the present arrange ment seems to
be that the contractors have wide discre-
ton as to how much surplus there shall be,
and if farmers have to pay three and four
cents can for carrying, perhaps they can
realize more by using their milk in some
other way.
The milk traffic is an important one to
this section and we shall be glad to publish
communications either from the contractors
or the farmers Let us hear from you,
gentlemen.
| We wish to state that the farmers of this
section will not need hereafter to look in
either the New England Farmer or the
Homestead to find the monthly statements
regarding the amount Of milk received and
the surplus, tor we shall make arrange
ments to have the same thing appear in the
| TIMES from month to month.
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT GRAUsTEIN.
The following letter is from President
|
Graustein and speaks for itself:
Charlestowp, Mass Nov. %, '96.
To Editor of Bellows Falls TIMES:
Dear Sir-We wish to correct the state
ment in your issue of November 81, in
which you represent F. O. Smalley as our
agent at Bellows Falls. We have no agent
to represent US at Bellows Falls or transact
any BUSH ess whatsoever. Have several
men who do manual labor, in which capacity
F. o. Smalley was employed. We are
using our farmers as we always have and
as our contract reads from October to
April L. The price of milk has been re-
duced on account of its reduction in Bos-
ton, which was caused by the poor demand
and extremely low price OF butter. We
hope every producer will join the New
England Milk Producers Union and live
ND to the contract that the union will make
with us. We do not expect to satisfy all,
especially those turned off Tor being dis
hanest with us.
Respectfully,
| VIM. A. GRAUsTEIN,
Pres. Boston Dairy Co.
