WY JAPAN PROTESTS.

7zse OF the Ob5ee&50ns 20 Hawaiian AH~
acknowledgements COzldn's Become CHI
Es1s-By AnnexREAoa eks Japanese S0w
In Hawaii Woald Become SEb1ecx 70 Any
Measure Adopted BY the United States
WASHINGTON, june 2A-The gist OF
the protest Of Japan 10 Hawaiian an
aexation which was read to the senate
committee on foreign relations Is a.
follows:
The acquisition Of Hawaii by annex
alton to the United States would de-
prsve the resident japanese in the
Islands Of rights 70 which they
are at present entitled IN
der the present treaty with
Hawaii at present there are $4,000
japanese IN the islands with large
property rights. and under the present
conditions they are entitled TO become
citizens Of Hawaii In case Of annexa-
ton these japanese could not become
citizens OF the United States as the de-
.isions of the United States courts are
to the affect that no Asiatic can be-
some a citizen OF the United States
By annexation the japanese now
residing IN Hawaii would be subject 70
any measures that might be adopted
Or the United States They would lose
the right 10 become citizens and to
Eo1e, and the large interests owned By
Japanese citizens IN the islands wonld
be greatly jeopardized; therefore the
japanese government must firmly pro-
test against the proposed annexation.
Hawaiians IN Washington insist that
the reason for the protest of Japan
against annexation Is that Japan
really desires 10 acquire the islands
herself. The main point OF con-
tentioo between Japan and
Hawaii over the treaty between the
two countries, Il Is learned. Is as to
the wording OF the treaty which
Hawaii seeks TO abrogate- This
treaty has a provision that 1t may
be terminated al any time by mutual
consent This IS construed by the
japanese government TO mean that the
treaty can not be terminated without
the consent OF both governments and
as long as Japan insists upon keep
ing Il IN force Il can not be
zB[O-alcl- Inc law EA-4G-A S0-- tS-AA~-D4&
Is that the words have no such mean
ing. and that any contract or agree
ueat can be dissolved by mutual con-
sent as matter Of course; that II the
claim of Japan was valid the treaty
would be IN effect permanently
1t IS understood that Japan insists
that her present claims must be ae-
knowledged and accepted By the United
states IN case OF annexation, although

insincerity In protesting TO be hostile

amendment putting ON the free list for
domestic articles are controlled by com
binafionS-
The republicans passed the anti-trgse
law OF 1890 The author of that Law,
John Sherman. had declared on the
floor OF the senate that he would vote
TO withdraw protection from producers
" no combined TO stifie competition He
held 10 the republican theory that pro-
lection was good thing foEaconsuDers
in the long run, because it induced COM
petition among home producers and
thereby reduced prices below what
they would be in the absence Of prOtec-
ton. His attention was called TO the
fact that producers combined TO de-
stroy competition among one another,
and extore up TO the limit fixed By the
duties. 1t was then that Sherman said
he would Eote TO withdraw protection
in such cases
He did not do that, bat he introduced
his antitrust bill, and his republican
associates voted for it. By that act they
publicly professed to be hostile to mo-
nopoly combinations That law has
been practically OF no effect. And now
the republicans deliberately refuse 10
reach the trusts in the only sure way
by denying them profession
And they emphasized their refusal
by tabIing the Pettigrew amendment
in connection with the sugar schedule.
which their steering committee so
framed that ii sent up the diluted stock
OF the sugar trust five TO ten points, TO
le6 And they do il IN the face OF the
Dlainest possible demonstration that
the trust absolutely stiles competition
! They have not only the admission of the
! head of the trust before the Lexow com
! Enittee, but they have also the seven
! Identical bids submitted in response 10
an advertisement for sugar for the In
dian reservations. In the face Of this
evident conspiracy TO rob the govern
ment, the republicans vote down the
petrigrew amendment.
And. not content with that. they vote
down in caucus an amendment offered
BIZ one of their own number, Senator
1 Spooner, intended TO compel the trust
to dispose of the enormous stock of
sugar it has been importing ia antici-
pation of higher duties al prices based
on the present tariff Not content with
giving this great monopoly more pro-
lection, they deliberately assist IL in
beating the treasury and raking on
millions of extra profit
The republicans are exceedingly kind
to the trusts, and especially 10 the
sugar trust And the only excuse they
offered was that of Mr.. Hoar, who said
that the tariff bill was no place for
such an amendment as that offered by
Nj. Pettigrew, and besides il would
enable any three men 10 put any article
on the free list by organizing bogus
combination
/ Obviously the tariff bill was the only
proper place for the Legislation pro-
! posed by Mr.. Pettigrew. And not less

Prosectionfsts to Keep Up the Ola

The republicans have long been tell
ing the farmer that il is their earnest
desire to protect him, and they are
always threatening TO do it. Tarin
after tariff has been made, and yet, pre-
liminary to the making of every tariff.
the farmer has been told that be must
be protected. Tariff duties have been
repeatedly socked on the farmers
products, and yet he has always been
marked out for the considerate atten-
ton Of the protectionists. just as il ne
had been hitherto overlooked. The
same game is being played now. The
farmer is again assured that he must
be protected. the inference being, of
course, that the tariff makers forgot
all about him the last time. He is 20

slapping on Of the same old tariff du-
ties that have admittedly failed TO con-
stitute protection heretofore. And 80
il goes, and 50 il viii keep on going.
There is reason TO think it anyway.
The other day il was proposed in the
senate TO pay bounty on agricultural
products. This would have meant pro-
lection; there in no doubt about that
All that the farmer needs is better
