One of the Facts.

To the Editor of the Transcript:
1t is not my intention to attempt
to reply to the criticism of the Ha-
waiian consul, as printed in your
columns, save to assert the truth of
my article. Few newspaper cores
pondents would dare to issue in book
form series of kilograms and let
tiers without subsequent corrections,
yet that is just what 1 did for two
successive years, and yet was involv-
ed in no notable contradictions.
But it would seem an inexcusable
blunder on the part of any person
assuming acquaintance with Hawai-
ian history to be as ignorant as your
correspondent shows himself to be
in the matter of the official abdica-
ton OF the queen. Her dethrone-
ment took place exactly as narrated
by him, but the paper she then sign
ed was in no sense an abdication.
The official act of abdication was
drawn by Judge Hartwell in Janu-
airy, 1895, two years later than the
data furnished you by Mr.. Gilman.
made no reference at all to the
former document, except to allude
to the justice of refusing to cele-
brate day when the Hawaiians
were cajoled in the person of their
queen. l did give stubborn fact
in regard to the abdication, and the
manner in which the signature of
Liliuokalani was procured; namely,
by duress, and threats of personal
violence not to herself, but to those
she loved. 1t is not to be supposed
that Mr.. Gilman's correspondents
will ever furnish to him any facts,
save those by which he can do good
to their cause in this country. That
has been since the first their plan
with private correspondents or the
press. The occurrence made by me,
while as true as the sunrise, was
probably not known with the same
certainty to more than three persons
besides myself.

as an old friend, and not on the
authorization Of those who had as
sumed the reins of G. vernment.
The "self-styled Americans" born
under Hawaiian colors, while proud
to claim their American ancestry.
are very Jealous for the prosperity
Of the parent nation, and are still
very Hawaiian in their instincts.
1t is very safe to challenge the
comparison of these "self-styled
Americans" who are true republi.
cans, and those known as the "oppo-
sition or royalist" party in the am-
cunt OF service rendered for the
benefit Of the native people. The
former, by every effort in their
power, by expenditure OF time aud
money, are doing all that is possible
to save the remnant of the Hawaiian
people. This is not a mere idle
boast, but statistics will confirm the
statement; while on the other hand,
it will be very difficult to find any
specific object or measure which
has been pursued by the opposition
which tends to the amelioration of
the condition OF the native race.
The "self-styled Americans" are
endeavoring to work out the prob
lem of Christian civilization and
true republicanism for the benefit
of a diminishing people. 1t was the
"broken oath of allegiance" OF the
Hawaiian sovereign on Jan. 10, 1893,
which brought them of necessity to
the place of power and government,
and they are endeavoring to work
out the political salvation of the
people, even though it be with fear
and trembling and in the face of OPP
position of those at home and
abroad.
1t is not matter of simple choice
of the undersigned to appear in
print as critic of one with whom he
holds friendly personal relation, but
it seems to me that with the official
position with which l am honored
and the facts, which are readily at
hand and can be furnished to any
one interested to examine, l should
be derelict in my duty did l not
state that which l believe to be the
truth in the matter.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

Chester County's Treasurer Confesses EN-
Observation-Disclosures by Anxiety.
CHESTER, May 16.-A startling SEN
sation was occasioned here yesterday
about noon when it became known
that there were irregularities in the
tax receipts issued by County Treas
urer John B. McFadden. A few days
back oneor two taxpayers in the county
found out by comparing their receipts
with the auditors books that there was
a mistake, they having paid more than
the returns called for. These receipts
were taken to the treasurer, the mis-
takes pointed out and correction asked
for. Mr.. McFadden promptly paid
back the overcharge, and the parties
were satisfied. The report, however,
was circulated that something was
wrong at his Office and yesterday tax,
payers from the town and several sec
tions of the county took their receipts
to the auditor and jn nearly every case
the receipts showed that greater
amount had been paid than the udl-
tors books called for. This of course,
spread all over the town like wild tire
and today it is known that irregularl-
ties have been carried on for the past
five years. Mr.. McFadden has been
treasurer of Chester county for l6
years and was undoubted up to week
ago the strongest man politically in
the county. He had the entire conf
dence of the people of this town aod
county and there was no other treas.
urer in the State more efficient and
held in higher esteem by State otficl-
ais, and by his home people than was
Mr.. McFadden. The extent of these
irregularities or the amont of the over
charges that have been carried on sys-
tematically, cannot be ascertained ex-
actly. Mr.. McFadden acknowledges
his embezzlement and has not been IN
his office since yesterday at noon.
Anxiety and depression overcame him
when he met his terrible mistake yer
terday and he now lies at home
very i'll man. The whole town was
greatly surprised and shocked at this
most unfortunate affair and everyone
expresses the deepest sympathy for the
fallen man and his sadly stricken
family. The troubles altogether be-
tween the taxpayers and the treasurer,
the county and State accounts have
been settled correctly. Solicitor Hen,
ry has written Comptroller General
Norton to take CHARGE of the Office,

Another Advance Made.

The Keelev cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute OF
Maryland by which the Kelley treat:
ment shall be administered at their hos
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service of
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
ficacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
rado, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues begiven
the treatment.

THE WILSON BILL INJURIES AMERICAN DAIRYING.

The dairying business of the United
States, though it has not suffered under
free trade as manufacturing industries
have suffered, has nevertheless felt the
evil effects of the peculiar doctrines OF
William Jennings Bryan as put forward in
the Wilson bill, mild form of the free
trade ideas that occupy so large space in
the Nebraskan's mental horizon.
Strangely enough one of the greatest
evils to the established dairying industry
is found in competition. Speaking of that
phase of the subject yesterday the chair
man of the State Dairy Bureau said:
Vast tracts of land heretofore devoted
to the raising of sheep are now turned into
dairying, and the result, together with
free-trade ideas, is very hurtful to the
dairying interests of this coast and the en-
tire country. There is no doubt that we
feel the evil results OF the Wilson bill here
as they do in the East. The competition
is in the line of Canadian and Australian
cheese and butter, and the truth is that
these things have an effect on the market.
While we are not hurt as they are in
manufacturing districts, we have seen
enough to make us strong protectionists. "
1t is well-known fact that the dairying
business of the country, and of the Pacific
Coast in particular, has Jared badly since
the adoption OF the Wilson bill Never in
the history OF the enterprise have there
been such lulls and disappointments as
during the past two years, and it is the
belief of those who have made the closest
study of the question that regime of free
trade in dairy products would be one of
financial ruin.
If the reduction of 2 cents pound on
cheese alone has had so disastrous an ef-
feet, what would be the result of absolute
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-12

free trade? 1t would surely have the farm
labor of the United States at the mercy of
low prices and pauperism from afar.
There is not anywhere better method
of coming to results in questions of prac-
tical economics than that of studying the
evidence given by those engaged IN bust
ness. In the dairying industry it is well
to bear this rule in mind, and lest it be
thought that California's S adversely in that
line be peculiarly local, it is not amiss to
study opinions from other sources.
The R. Murphy Company of Gordon
Plain. ILL.,, made the following reply to
the inquiries of the Tariff Commission as
to the question OF duty:
"We make about 300 900 pounds of butter
a year. We are not producing as many
goods as in 1892. Canada, with cheap
lands and low wages. can produce cheaper
than the United States. The wages of
one year ago were 81 30 to So day."
Here is the reply of J. NJ. Nutting of

sour make is about 14o, 900 pounds an
nually. In the country places wages have
kept up till recently. think the cause OF
the present dull times is largely the un-
certainty of the tariff legislation. My
idea would have been not to have changed
the tariff laws very much at the present
time, as the country was in fairly pros
porous condition. My idea would be to
make such tariff laws as would protect the
farmers, as when the farmers of country
are prosperous the whole country is in a
happy state. One word about wool.
Since Congress has talked about free wool
there has not been buyer of wool through
this place tn my knowledge"
In the same line A. & D. Beckwith of
Lone Rock, Wis, say:
What we want is tariff sufficient to
keep all the manufacturers in the United
States at WORK. and those they employ at
good wases, so they can buy our cheese,
butter, eggs and farm products. The
laboring class is what makes a country
prosperous when employed at good wages.
Home trade is the best; we get rid of the
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-12

seaports as compared with those from the
Mississippi Valley, are about equal"
The effect of the law on i'm ported cheese
was plainly put by S. Gale & Co., cheese
importers of New York, who said:
If the free-trade policy rules. it will, in
our opinion, and it is not an opinion only,
but will become a certain fact-deprive
many farmer in this country Of fair
livelihood, as he could not compete to pro-
duce as cheaply as the European does on
certain grades of cheese.
1.-THE high-priced and fancy European
makes of cheese, duty at 25 per cent ad va
lorem, would make the duty at cents a
pound, or thereabouts, while, for instance,
the product OF Germany, requiring but a
few pounds OF milk to make a pound of
cheese, at 25 per cent ad yalorem duty,
would make it from to 2 cents duty per
pound only, cheese that is now, so to
say, entirely produced here for the home
consumption, and would at once open the
doors for the foreign article and compel
the farmers here to produce at SO low a
price to compete that it would be utterly
impossible for them to work on a paying
basis, so that they would have to abandon
the manufacture thereof aid seek other
fields to make living.
ut is likewise so with the cheese manu-
factured in Switzerland, for the imitation
Swiss cheese made here would baye to be
produced at so low figure that very ex-
tensive area, devoted to the manufacture
of this article and largely SO produced in
various States, would very seriously suffer,
and importation be invited to the great
detriment of the home market"
Examples might be multiplied indefi-
nltely. 1t is enough to say that careful
study of every phase of the dairy industry
shows that it is seriously affected by COM
petition with the cheap products of
foreign countries.

1t is the same in other lines OF dairy
products. Wherever they come in COM
petition with the cheaper lands and labor
of foreign countries they are at tre-
mendous disadvantage.
The Helvetia Milk Condensing Com
pany of Highland, ILL.,. say:
I'VE consider a specific duty of 211 cents
per pound, including all packages, neces-
sary and at the same time sufficient to
place our product on equal footing with
the foreign. The specific duty is the most
practical, because it obviates qualitative
and quantltative analysis which would be
necessary in order to ascertain the in
trinsic value OF every lot imported. This
rate is necessary in order to cover the ex-
listing differences in cost of labor (Which
is particularly great in Office and skilled
labor, rate of interest, and fire insurance,

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 1.-THE final re-
ports of payments for the last quarter
at the Milwaukee agency, just made,
contain some interesting figures. The
total disbursed to pensioners during the
quarter from this Office, which covers
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
both Dakotas, was $l,7l2, al, distribu-
ted among 49,777 pensioners, who are
now scattered all over the United
States, many Of them having removed
from this district, but not having made
a transfer of their pension district.
With each succeeding pension pay
ment the fact becomes more and more
apparent that the survivors of the re-
bellion are passing away more rapidly
than new names for pensions are being
added, Notwithstanding the recent laws
which brought in large number Of
pensioners. A year ago the lists in the
Milwaukee agency exceeded $4,000.
Today the highest number is 49,777.
