REACHING THE CREST OF THE CONTINENT.


AT the camp near Fort Laramie,
the Pioneers were joined by party
of eventeen-twelve males and five
females-Mormons from Mississippi,
who had wintered at Pueblo with Il
detachment ofthe Mormon Battalion,
left there because OF the illness OF the
men, in charge of Captain James
Brown. The Mississippians had
come on to Fort Laramie, arriving
two weeks before the Pioneers, TO
Join the latter on the western jour
ney. Their names were Robert,
Elizabeth Benjamin b., Harriet,
Elizabeth Jane, John McHenry,
Walter H., William Parker, lisa
Vinda Exene and Ira Mrnda Almar-
enc Grow, George w, Matilda Jane,
Milton Howard and James William
TDerlkill, Archibald Little, James
Chesncy and Lewis b. Meyers.
They had five wagons, one cart,
eleven horses, twenty-tour oxen,
twenty-five COWS, three bulls and
seven calves.
On this same day, June 1, the
Pioneers learned from a party OF
traders arrived from the west at
Fort Laramie, that two weeks before
the snow was several feet deep on
the Sweetwatcr, and still deeper in
the mountains west, making it neces-
sary for the traders TO leave their
wagons and come to the vicinity OF
Laramie for food for their horses,
Early on the morning OF Wedncs-
day, June end, number OF the
Pioneers went over to Fort Laramie,
crossing the North Fork Of the
Platte in the sole-lelther boat they
had used on former occasions, and
which was called the Revenue Gut

forenoon, sacrament meeting in the
afternoon, and special prayer meet
ings by the leading authorities, in a
secluded place among the bluffs.
The camp was unusually solemn on
that Sabbath day. From that Sun
day camp, Chimney Rock, forty
miles away still could be seen; and
the Black Hills doomed up in the
western horizon, beyond Laramie.
Monday, the last day Of May, was
quite cool. The days travel was
very laborious and fatiguing, being
over a sandy soil. Next day the
company reached point opposite

The Real Objection

The Hawaiian Evening Bulletin
has read in some American paper an
argument against the admission of
Hawaii into the American Union,
founded on the assumption that the
sugar product of Hawaii would be
formidable competitor against the
American industry of sugar pro-
duction. Our island namesake does
not mention the name OF the Amer
lean paper which advances this
argument, but without doubt such
ideas are entertained in this country.
The fact that the United States ad-
mits Hawaiian sugar free Of duty
does not justify the assumption that
the United States considers Hawai-
ian sugar in the light OF foreign
product. While there are some
reciprocal features in the treaty
which secures to Hawaii free admis-
sion to her sugar, as trade pro-
position the treaty would not stand
a year. The principal purpose of
the treaty was to attach the islands
and the United States 80 closely
that when Hawaii became part of
the United States the union will be
regarded rather as the admission OF
Territory to statehood than as the
annexation OF foreign State.
The only objection Of any con-
siderable force against the union Of
the islands with the States is its
labor system. Where an exchange
Of products is free there should be
something like uniformity in the
cost Of products. If the sugar
planters of Hawaii may employ con-
tract labor while the American
producers OF sugar pay standard
American wages, the former have an
unfair advantage Contract labor
can be procured in Japan and China
at rates not much above those pre-
vailing in those countries. The
American sugar producer pays at
least three dollars for labor where
the Hawaiian producer pays one.
The United States has maintained
the protective policy mainly in the
interest OF labor. II the contract
labor system should be adopted in
this country, either absolute free
trade or a purely revenue tariff
would follow as soon as the people
had an opportunity to express their
opinion OF system which protected
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-04-12

the employer Of labor while leaving
the laborer exposed to competition
with the cheapest labor countries.
We trust the Hawaiian Bulletin
will see the justice OF this American
attitude in respect to the Hawaiian
system OF labor. Valuable as the
islands would be as part of the
United States, the American people
will, in our judgment, never consent
to union until the islands show
willingness to abandon their present
system Of contract labor. Between
the African slave and the Asiatic,
bound to serve term OF years, there

WV DIMOND,S

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in Homo
lulu, we would not have ordered
the second time. Since we open
ed business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold 400
Jewel stoves. BY the w. H.
Dimond which arrived on Thurs
day, we received 100 of different
sizes. 1t constitutes one car
load direct from the factory;
another lot will be here in a
week.
This is without exception. the
greatest fuel saver that has ever
been imported to the Islands.
The JEWEL is made on the
best stove principles and saves
money to the purchaser. They
are low in price and made to
wear-every piece of the stove
may be duplicated and in this
way it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy a single casting
than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, allow
ing 5 percent discount. We also
sell them, as before on the con-
tract system, the purchaser pay
ing one-third in cash, the balance
in five equal monthly payments.
