According to report sent to
the State Department, in Wash
ington, from one of the German
cities, it appears that the internal
revenue tax on beet sugar is
$3.50 per ton, in Germany; $119
per ton in France; $107 per ton
in Belgium. These enormous
taxes on sugar show the burden
this industry bears. The German
sugar refiner get back this tax on
exporting sugar, but the farmer
gets nothing out of it. That the
industry can stand this tax, indi-
Gates what the profits may be to
the American producer of beers,
which are mtaxed, and viii re-
main so. Sugar at the high re-
tail price, caused by this taxation,
becomes a luxury, and much less
than one half of the product Is
consumed In Germany.

MKINLEY AND BOUNTIEs.

Mr.. Mckinley has been, since
1882, "A firm believer In free
coffee, free tea, and free sugar.
He rates these articles a. necessi-
ties rather than Injuries. This Is
the reason why he placed sugar on
the free list, In the tariff law, and
put on a bounty on American
sugar. Protection In this indirect
form, makes cheap sugar. During
the recent political campaign, Mr..
Mckinley again declared his be
lief in the bounty system.
The financial situation Will pro
badly prevent him from urging
the bounty policy, at present, but
he may, as soon a. he sees the way
clear TO it, press it upon Congress.
Every farmers wife, every work
ing1man's wife Is a working politi-
clan for free sugar, and the indus
trial classes have the votes.
1t Is highly probable that, with
out annexation, no bounties would
ever be granted to the Hawaiian
planters. No rural Congressman
would dare to vote directly out of
the treasury, several millions to
the people of an alien country.
They refused to do this under the
Mckinley bill.
1t was suggested, several years
ago, in Washington, that if the
bounty system became permanent,
it might be extended to sugar
raised in Hawaii, by American
labor, and with American capital,
and that it would be short cut
to the Americanizing of the isl
ands. The amount to be paid out
of the treasury, under such a po-
Icy would not be large. But the
repeal of the Mckinley law
avoided any further discussion of
this propositions.
The sudden growth of the sugar
beet industry, and its vast possibi-
lities, creates new interests In the
whole subject. Congress, urged
by those who are in this~industry,
will take strong measures to pro-
tect it, and will strike down any
competition with it, if it Is serious,
as threatens to be so. In this lies
the danger of the repeal of the
Reciprocity Treaty, and out of
this comes the urgent need of an
nexation, which will avoid for all |
time, the dangers of hostile legis
latiOu.
Those who believe in the indie
pendence of the islands, should |
think very closely on the subject,
before taking the great risks of |
losing the treaty itself, by declin-
ing any Overtures for annexation,
on the part of the United States.

relations are concerned, but he Is
learning rapidly. Any event,
touching the foreign relations of
the United States, seem to touch
ow islands In some way. The
United States viii not acquire the
Danish islands unless there Is a
settled plan or theory Of annexa-
ton on the subject. If a theory
Is adopted. it will be one that will
cover our case directly or indirect
~. Since Senator Summers
strong speech against the acquisi-
ton Of St. Domingo, there has
been some decided change in pub
lie opinion, on annexation matters.
Sticking to the continent" it
now appears, IS not such wise
doctrine. NO annexation of I'M
desirable people" is just now a
favorite piece of wisdom. But
rs the Americans gradually find
out that foreign trade Is vastly
important, they will not hesitate
10 branch out little and settle
the fate of these, and the Atlantic
which are frontier posts.

The Planters Monthly, for
January, contains All excellent ar
ticle by It's editor, Mr.. Whitney,
on the subject of contract labor.
The Louisiana Planter, in com
menting on the sugar production
of these islands, rather sneers ct
what it calls our ''semi-slave
labor" Mr.. Whitney countered
ON that magazine, by re-stating
the fact that every sailor in the
American navy, merchant and
whaling service is under the same
form of contract. This comment
was soon after followed by the de
cision of the Supreme Court of
the United States, holding that
such labor is not Involuntary ser
vitude," as contemplated by the
Constitution. OF course, it is not
claimed that the people of the
United States will permit an eX-
tension of the practise to farm
laborers. On the other hand, it
is impossible to convince them
that our contract system is not
wicked, and against all the princi
pies in the doctrine of ''life, hber-
~ and pursuit of happiness" But
then, of course, if there is any
money in it, the sailor must sign
off, his heaven born rights, and he
corralled in the pen of ''involun-
tary servitude."

MERIT

That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt
A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other eX-
tracts is:
1. That it contains almost Is
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than 2 per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
3. 1t is not an eXcitant slim
ulant. The benefits to be de-
rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine
trial.
People of every walk of life,
from the laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach of all.
Single Bottles. 80 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.
We are giving away with ev-
cry purchase of Malt Murine

at least twice the figure asked
for the article.

The opening of the kindergar-
ten on the premises of the Eva
Plantation Company, took place
on Saturday. We understand
that this is the first school of the
kind, established on any planta-
ton. 1t was done at the expense
of the company, and It's teacher Is
also maintained by the company.
This Is an excellent illustration
of the duties, which the social
classes owe TO each other. The
managers of the COMPANY, and
their friends put themselves in
line with some of the most sue
cessful business concerns In Am
erica and Europe, who find that a
little humanitarian work, not only
does not cut heavily into divi-
dends, but is a good business ven
ture. Robert Owen, of Scotland,
who improved the condition of his
operatives in a most remarkable
manner seventy years ago, and
made money too, would hardly
have believed it, if he had been
told in his life time, that his ex-
ample would be followed many
wears later in the central Pacific.
