PROTECTION FOR SILVER.

The proposition to put silver in the
new Republican protective tariff law
is encountering varied opinions. A
general protest is to- the effect that it is
nonsense to attempt protecting an arti-
Gle so largely the subject Of export. an
article of which the United States pro-
duces more than any other country.
The proposition, now seriously enter
tanned In Washington. to adjust the
new tariff bill on lines that will afford
adequate protection for American silver
involves no departure from Republican
purpose and policy. 1t is entirely in ac-
cord with the spirit and principle Of
our protective system. and its adoption
would be a convincing token of the
liberal and consistent attitude which
Republican statesmen have always TAX
en- in guarding the products of Ameri-
can mines against unrestricted compe-
tition from abroad.
The New York Mail and Express. a
strong goldbug paper, favors the prop
osition. claiming that silver is an Amer
lean product as distinctively as iron,
copper or lead. All are commodities of
commerce and one is just as much en-
titled to protection as any of the 9th
ers. Yet this country imports all the
way from 12.OOO,OOO to 25,000,OOO
ounces of foreign silver every year in
spite of the fact that our mines are the
richest in the world, and would, if de-
veloped under the encouragement of an
adequate tariff, yield enough metal for
every need. A tariff that would render
Improbable, and so adj
iusted as to meet the fluctuations in
the bullion value of the metal in the
worlds markets. would be a measure
Of practical worth to the mining inter-
est Of this country, and it would give
direct and business-like reply to the
question so frequently heard since the
late election-"What do the Republi-
cans propose to do for silver"
Twenty-Five nations of the earth levy
a duty on silver for the protection of
their own producers. Is there any rea-
son why this country, with the protect
i've idea expanded to it's largest scope,
should not institute a similar policy for
the same purpose?

and hardy remained. They did not at

corn and wheat: they profited by the
experience of those who had failed and
avoided the pitfalls that had caught the
others. They secured some cattle. and

REGATTA DAY.

There is not suitable day for
aquatic sports in the Hawaiian
calendar of holidays. The fourth
of July is too warm for rowing,
besides being crowded with other
sports, and the 2Sth of November
is apt to have unsuitable weather.
All of the remaining holidays are
habitually devoted TO other popu-
lar diversions or social customs Of
long standing, 1t is proposed
therefore that special holiday to
be known as Regatta DAY should
be placed in the bill before the
Legislature. The first Saturday
in October is favored by boat
ing men as the best time, both as
being seasonable and providing
a break in the long interval be-
tween the Fourth of July
and the 2Sth of November. Aqua
tics have been second to no other
class of sports for popularity in
Honolulu, and with several strong
and well-equipped boating clubs
they are bound to maintain their
high position. One good general
regatta is, however, enough to tax

FALSE PRETENSES.

The San Francisco people who

indulgent public another book of
mistakes compiled principally
from their Dead Man Directory

most prominent merchants in
town have turned them down
very neatly, politely informing
them that they prefer to patron
age the local Directory now being
gotten up by b. l.. Finney. They
dare not make any complaint
through the press. (And right
here we want to say that we will

No! That is not the point. They

call on, that they are working for

CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

Canada is in the throes of a
general election for the Dominion
Parliament, which is held every
FIVE years. The Liberal party has
only held power for one term of
five years-lS73-8-out of the
twenty-nine years the Dominion
will have existed up to July l en-
suing. Sir John Macdonald's
administration was overthrown
in 1873 on account of the Pacific
Scandal" The Premier and some
Of his colleagues were personally
convicted in Parliament of having
received about 100000 for cleo
ton purposes from Sir Hugh
Allan and others, who were pro-
missed in return the charter for
building the Canadian Pacific
Railway. At the instance of DR..
Charles Topper, who has since
been knighted, Sir John adopted
the cry of protection in 1873,
and times being dull he
swept the country and his
party has maintained power,
with hands down, ever since. Sir
Charles Upper lately gave up
the Office of High Commissioner
to London to take the Premier
ship, and, although this is the
orty-second year since he entered
public life, he is conducting a
