DEMOCRATIC sQuEALERs.
Tickle Politicians Who Don't Know
Their own Minds.

The American people are now wit
Messing some very loud and undignified
squealing on the part OF the free-trade
press. That the democratic supporters
of President Mckinley would attack the
tariff policy that he was elected TO put
into effect was expected. 1t was the
natural thing for them to do because
tariff misrepresentation is necessary 10
their existence, financially and other
wise. But not ali the distorted phrases
that have been written by the students
and professors of economics in the free
trade school, and which have been
printed by the column in every free
trade paper in New York, will have the
slightest effect or influence upon the
minds of the masses of the people.
though they will undoubtedly please
few of the old hidebound supporters of
the moribund theories of the Golden
school. To pretend that the hybrid
free-trade tariff of the democratic party
has produced revenue enough TO meet
our requirements is ridiculous, because
ii is so easily disproven by reference to
the reports of the treasury department.
To pretend that free wool and free lum-
Der have been of benefit TO our closed
mills and their idle workers Is wicked
crime, because il is an attempt to con-
tinue a policy that creates ruin, starva-
ton and discomfort. 10 is an effort TO
introduce the system of British impov-
erishment of labor into the United
States.
The squealers are certainly mad be-
yond measure. But how foolish OF them
TO be SO. They supported the republican
candidate for president, well knowing
the platform upon which he was nomi-
mated and upon which he appealed 10
the people for their votes. Did these
democratic papers ever expect that Mr..
Mckinley would repudiate his party's
platform? Did they anticipate that the
republican leader would follow the
methods OF the late democratic presi-
dent, that he would be false to the peo-
pie who elected him, that he would pay
no heed TO the pledges demanded of
him? They have no right and no cause
20 expect, or 10 ask, deceit or dishonor
from the republican president simply
because some democratic newspapers
supported his candidacy. They were
not asked TO support him. Their act
was voluntary, and they knew perfectly
we'll that they were advocating the cleo
tion of the champion OF protection upon
platform that demanded the restora-
tion of the policy of protection.

THOSE who have investigated tho
subject are of the opinion that the
area devoted TO wheat-growing is
gradually shrinking. IL is estimated
that the worlds crop of 1896 will not
be more than 2. 36s, OOo, 900, as compared
with 2. 447, 900, 900 bushels in 1898 and
2,507, 900, 900 bushels in 1894 There is
n decline OF the crop in India, the
Argentine republic, Austria and the
United States. To those who are en-
gagged in wheat.growing these figures
and the outlook ought TO give some
encouragement, the encouragement Of
better prices.

She was absolutely devoted TO her hus-

lesson to be learned from crime, and
IN this case il looks as il the present
case was the direct descendent of
the crimes of the outlaw Koolau,
who recently died on Kauai. To
save himself from being taken to
Molokai, Koolau killed the Sheriff
who was sent to arrest him, and
afterwards three other men. There
is no doubt that among the residents
of Kauai, Koolau had many who
sympathized with him i'll spite of
his crime, indeed it is said that EN-
ployment was given the outlaw,
after the crimes were committed,
and the hunt for him had abated.
You cannot as community palter
with crime. If man who commits
homicide is sympathised with,
others will follow in the step of the
homicide. Murder breeds murder.
In a community which is lax in the
matter of regarding homicide,
homicide will occur more frequently
than where the gallows surely
stands ready for the criminal to ex-
plate his crime upon.
To one who follows out the
sequence of events the Koloa MUIR
der is the direct descendent of the
Kalalau homicides. The lesson to
be learned is that the civil power
should at any cost capture its crimi-
nails, that law, if defed, will breed
in low classes of minds a spirit of
lawlessness, and that that spirit of
lawlessness may develop into serious
crime.
The present case has now come
under the law, fortunately, and the
authorities are to be congratulated
upon having successfully unearthed
the crime. Justice rests in the
hands of a Judge and jury, and
there it must be left with full assur-
ance that the case will be carefully
weighed, and that no sudden access
of rage at a villainous crime will
mar the even handedness with
which the crime will be punished.

PRISON MADE GOODS.

The question ofprison made goods
has come up in California. An act of
Parliament recently passed in Eng
land prohibits the importation from
any foreign port of prison made
goods, unless such shall have been
made in the penal institutions of any
member of the United Kingdom. "
The grain Of California is export
ed in jute bags, and these are made
by prison labor in San Quentin.
Very heavy shipments of grain will
be made from California this season,
and if the act is interpreted as
extending to the containers as we'll
as to their contents the prison made
ju.e bags of San Quentin will not
be available. 1t is quite a nice
point in commercial law and will
doubtless be the subject of much
protest and legal controversy.
But there is one clear idea which
comes up, and that is the objection
made to prison labor. II is really
the thin end Of the wedge which is
being used in the English Parlia.
ment. Stopping the importation o.
articles manufactured by prison
labor abroad is but a step to pro-
hibiting the sale of prison made
articles at home.
The question of what to do with
the labor Of prisoners is a very
knotty one, and has not been solved
yet. All agree that prison labor
should not come into competi or
with free labor and yet the problem
has never been satisfactorily solved

OF course everybody knows that the
Aermotor is the best mill made, and
has had actual demonstration in many
WAYS since its introduction into the
Hawaiian Islands. We handle these
mills in s, 10, IL, II, 16 inch gears and
pumping styles.
The Cleared Rermotor is a distinct
creation built to meet all the require
ments of motive power. No pains
have been spared to make it as per-
feet as possible.
1t Grinds Grain, Cuts Feed, Shells
Corn, Saws Wood and Drives Machine
nv of all kinds. The ~ foot Aermotor
that WILL in fair wind, easily do the
work of two horses, and will drive
satisfactorily any machine that can
be operated by two horses.
We are now placing at honolulu
and Kahuka Ranch aermotors recently
ordered. We have samples on exhibit
ton at our store and after a thorough
investigation of all other makes in
vite you to examine the Aermotor.
We do not fear the result.
Our stock of Aermotor pumps in
cludes various styles and sizes, all
warranted to throw strong and
constant force of water.
The Gould & Rough triple action
pumps we have spoken of before, so
will only add that these pumps may
be had from us in all designs.
AERMOTOR STOCK TANKS
Are made of galvanized corrugated
steel.
These tanks never leak, and there
no mudholes around them. They ship
nested, and are just as sure to drive
the wooden tank out of existence as
the Aermotor was sure to drive the
wooden windmill out of existence AT
it's advent. There are many reasons
why this galvanized tank is the COM
ing tank. 1t is light, the freight is
little, it is easy to handle, it requires
no setting up, it never leaks, and does
not dry up and fall down if all the wa
ter gets out of it; but of course when
an Aermotor is used, the water need
never get out of the tank. You know
the Aermotor runs with so little wind
that such things as a dry tank are
hardly known.

THE kauai CRIME.

1t is not often, happily, that the
community is startled by a crime,
such as recently occurred on Kauai.
The taking Of life always strikes a
quiet community, such as this, as
very dreadful, but the homicides
that have usually been chroni-
cled here have been done in hot
blood or under the excitement of
tanaticism. One can understand,
IN a great measure, a man or a
woman striking an enemy down,
and murders like those that occurred
on Lanai few years ago are not so
surprising, the woman concerned
was fanatic, and under such a
mental condition nothing that a
person does can be regarded as
surprising.
But cool, calculating murder,
such as the case of DIR. Jerrard
Smith, is abnormal in the history of
Hawaiian crime. From the evidence
10 hand it appears as if whole
family deliberately went to work
to plan murder, arranging tie
details in the most calculating end
cold blooded manner. 1t was not a
case of hot blood and sudden anger,
it was deliberately planned and the
victim Swallowed by the death deal
ers for three days before the actual
