n Shows No Fear of Competition
from Hawaii.
Discussing "The Sugar Sec.
tion," the Anaconda, Cal, Stan
dard, printed right in sugar beet
land, speaks as follows:
The conclusions reached in the
house OF representatives in dealing
with the sugar sections in the
tariff bill will test the lobby
strength of one Of the country's
most formidable trusts. The sugar
schedule, as it comes from the
Dingley committee, seems logical
and proper. 1t provides ample
protection for the home product
OF sugar with reservations respec-
ting Hawaii which are manifestly
just and which ought certainly to
prevail.
In January 1876, commercial
reciprocity treaty was concluded
between the United States and the
government of Hawaii under
which the sugar product Of the
island found free entry into the
ports of the United States. The
Dingley committee, in reporting
its sugar schedules, respected the
terms of this treaty; the tariff bill
providing that the existing agree
ment between the two countries
should be in no way abrogated or
interfered with. This arrange
ment interferes with the schemes
Of the sugar trust which has It's
representatives at Washington;
the object of the trusts lobby is
to make the tariff, amounting to
twenty dollars and upward a ton,
operative against imports from
Hawaii.
If there is any merit at all in
the reciprocity theory which has
its advocates among the McKin-
leyites, this merit ought to reveal
itself in the dealings of the Unit
ed States with the islands. Our
commercial relations with Ha-
waii certainly are as intimate as
they are with any other region on
the face Of the globe. Probably
our government would more readi-
ly assume protectorate relations
with Hawaii than over any other
stretch of territory in all the seas.
Powers like England as we'll as
Oriental governments like Japan
look with greedy, envious eye on
Hawaii, but there is no doubt that
the United States would vigorous
ly and effectively interfere with
any schemes on the part of any
power to make the conquest of the
islands.
Actual annexation may not be
realized even in the remote future.
At the same time commercial CON.
siderations as we'll as the prompt
ings Of that which morally is Just
and right, suggest the wisdom of
maintaining cordial and intimate
trade relations between this coun-
try and Hawaii. If the congress-
men yield to the pressure of the
sugar-trust lobby, that course will
be q departure from the CONNER
cial policy respecting Hawaii to
which this country is fully COM
mitted.

Piugree to-day wired the following
message in duplicate to President Nc
Kinley, Senator Burrows, Congressman
Corliss and spaulding of Michigan:
~ regard the duty on hides, lumber
and sugar as n-Republican, unpatri-

"The lumber now used goes largely
into small homes and farmhouses and
to class already greatly overtaxed.
The laborer wears twice as many shoes
as the millionaire and must contribute
twice as much for the tax on hides.
must use as much sugar and pay as
much toward the duty on sugar.

poor pay as much per capita as the
rich toward the support Of the G overn-

The Eastern trusts and manufactures
have won the tariff fght--that is as
far as the conference committee and
the house are concerned. 1t can safe
ly be assumed that their victory will
be rendered complete by the action of
the senate.
Disguise it as they may in legal
phraseology, the sugar trust has secur-
ed what it wanted. The sharp advance
in its stock is an ample guarantee of
this fact. The wool growers get little
or nothing, but the manufacturers are
protected by higher duties. On all of
the leading schedules the interests of
the trusts are cared for. The West,
which produces the raw material, is
left to care for itself. The whole bill
is demonstration OF the fact, fire.
quently asserted in these columns,
that protection is an nlledged benefit
reserved exclusively for n favored few
in the Eastern states How any West
ern state can vote for this kind of pro-
lection is perplexing problem.
This is the measure, however, which
the Republican party has given to the
country as cure for hard times, That
its representatives in congress have
labored zealously to pass it is to be ad-
mitted. 1t is as well that the senate
will pass it, not because the bill is a
just one, but because we desire to have
the inadequacy of the remedy demon
strated. The news does not believe
that this new tariff bill be prosperity
producer. While it was ostensibly
framed for this purpose. it was really
enacted for the benefit of the men who
drew their checks to the order of Mark
Hanna to aid McKinley's election.
These are the people who will be ben
Gifted by the tariff and at the expense
of the country at large. So evident
will this fact become when the next
congressional elections roll around
that its present advocates will find it
difficult to prove to the contrary.
They will also be confronted by an
other issue AS prosperity will not be
restored by the tariff, the currency
question will be forced to the front,
and on tfis the next campaign will be
fought Denver News.

Queer aoldbng Logic.


The World. Herald must insist that
hereafter all republican organs OF the
gold standard accompany their pros
perity logic aud their high tariff argu-
ments with appropriate diagrams. Blue
prints showing the exact facts should
accompany all Of their statements,
even il the prints do prove the state
ments to be false For three years the
republican organs have been telling us
that the farmers of the west have been
suffering because of the ''nefarious
wilson German tariff, " and explaining
their declarations by claiming that the
law aforesaid surrendered our markets
to European manufacturers and others.
During the campaign of 1896 these
same organs frothed at the mouth and
declared that every advocate of free
silver coinage was n 'repudiatOr,' an
anarchist" and base assailant of
the national honor" But now they
are shouting and rejoicing over return
ing prosperity, and in order to convince
western farmers that they are all right
and trotting down the smooth prosper
ity pike, are telling them that they
have paid Off $3.50, 900, 600 of mortgages
in the five states Of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas.
There is something wrong about this
system of logic. If the farmers of the
five states named have paid off $780,
900, 900 of mortgages during the last
three years they are not repudiators.
Regulators do not pay their debts.
And If $3.50, 900, 900 of mortgages have
been paid off in these five states during
the last three years the Wilson-Gorman
tariff law did not play havoc with our
markets to any appreciable extent
II is just little difficult to follow
the republican train of reasoning. 1t
winds around like the galleries of
labyrinth, and travels forward like a
crab 1t really makes one dizzy to at
tempt 10 follow IL. Repudiators pay
ing off their debts at the rate of S4,-
666, 6662S per month, and tariff law
that destroys our markets enabling us
to lift S2s, OOO,O 600 of mortgages in six
months. We are waiting for some real
clever republican organ to explain
these glaring Inconsistencies. Omaha

Congressman TOEne Talks PopulIsm.
While som.e who claim to belong to
the Peoples party are ready to tear
down its flag and abandon its ''preju-
dices," we are glad to note that others
are getting their eyes open and coming
over to our ranks. We are especially
pleased to note this in the case Of that
able man, Hon. Charles a. Towne, ex-
con gresham from the Duluth district.
The great hindrance to the growth of
our party has been the CONTEMPT in
which it has been held by the leaders
of the two old parties They were
ready to steal our votes and adopt one
or two of our principles, but they kick
ed back at US, like iacknsses, while
they were doing it, We were to them
pack of idiotic cranks, and they felt
it necessary to separate themselves
from us by publicly insulting us.
But Mr. Towne is man of broader
mind. He is capable of learning. And
hence we find him. at the Populist con-
vention at Des Moines, Iowa, the other
day, speaking as follows:

yOu with degree of familiarity, be-
cause it was madean accusation against

do not believe they can accomplish
anything until they have majority.

refused to do that, and as consequence
l am sort of an exile. Get together
and You can win.
81 favor the government ownership
of railroads, telegraphs and telephones
but am of the opinion the public is moi
ready for this yet You can't carry
all reforms at once, because the ma
jority Of the human race is conserva
tive. You can only take one step at {
time, But you needn't be afraid of thu
support of these men when the tim,
comes to declare for government own
ership.

epochal period. We are fighting tn
battle of civilization which is to deter
mine whether or not free government

pendent of the quantity of money, that
affiicts the American people, is based
upon the idea that, while the bankers
have the effrontery of knaves, the
American people are too big fools to
comprehend their game.
The following are the resolutions
adopted by the New York bankers:
sit is the settled conviction of the
members of this convention that all
doubt as to our currency should be re-
moved. Currency is the basis Of all
business transactions, and, unless this
basis is sure and unvarying, trade and
commerce cannot thrive nor prosperity
be assured. We are consequently in
favor of the prompt removal of all ex-
listing causes of distrust as to the sta
bility Of our currency, and urgently re-
quest OF our Legislators such action as
will accomplish this end.
1--WE recommend retirement of all
government paper and that a safe bank
currency, under government supervis-
ion, be substituted. The prelininaries
of such action could be prepared on
sound economic lines by commission
selected for their eminent qualifications
to formulate plan to be submitted
for the consideration of Congress.
Suitable action by our Legislators
on these lines will encourage trade to
flow in its natural channels; will cause
the great resources Of our country to
be developed, and the comfort and
cheer which follow upon commercial
activity and which are tine birthright
of our people TO be speedily restored.
in this expression we speak for the
thousands of business men with whose
wishes and conclusions we are familiar
by reason of daily intercourse. We
speak also for the great multitude Of
workers who feel the pressure of hard
times which are prolonged by inactiou
in the reform of the currency, and un
necessary because simple changes ii
our laws which would Immediately
remedy our conditions are not brought
about, thus forcing upon our popula
tion the evils of u currency crea ted fol
the exigencies of war, but concededl1
menace to stability in times Of peace
while other less favored nations are to
day reaping the rewards Of soli'
prosperity. We accordingly demand
action ON the currency question, ant
solemnly warn our countrymen tina
safe conditions cannot possibly exis
without it,"

and four days after the passage in the
House of the legal-tender act to supply
the country with the government mon-
ey bankers convention was held in
Washington, consisting of four dele
gates from New York banks, three

ton. This convention was an impor-
tant affair, when we consider IL the
parent of the crime of coin redemption
as this was the time and place, the
scheme OF the exception clause"-in
other words, the coin redemption-was
adopted, which has been and always
will be the leverage of shyloek against
the people. The exception clause gave
demand for the hidden and boarded
coin, which the shylock had locked mp
and which he boards to-day. If the
treasury notes could save the country
in 1862, why can't they save the coun-
try now? They can, but those notes
do not demand the pound of flesh, +"

in 1862, when the exemption clause"
was placed on the paper money. That
is where the coin was asked for, and
from that time the bond issues and

Republicans and Democrats must
certainly be impressed with the earn
estness and courage of the rank and
file of the Populist party. The masses
of the old parties never complain, no
matter what their prominent officers
and leaders do. Here in Missouri Gov.
Stevens vetoes bill to require the rich
money lenders to give in their property
to the assessor. Not even a whisper Of
complaint from Democrats anywhere.
The Missouri legislature defeats the
bill to prevent the decentralization of
silver by private contract No word Of
complaint from the Democrats, not
withstanding the Chicago platform de-
clared against such contracts. Other
Democratic legislatures defeated SINH
lar bills No complaint But the rank
and file Of the Populist party are in the
reform movement in dead earnest and
hence 1t is that there is so much eriti-
cism of prominent Populists by the
masses of the Peoples party. Let no
Populist fear that this win deter men
from joining us. The people who want
reform will be glad to know that Pop
ulists are not meek followers of men,
but brave followers of principle. Mis-

Old Jed Buzzell, who lives in the meadow
land near Greenfield, Me-, has turned tailor
after having passed three-score years on a
farm and is getting rich by making suits
for New York wholesale firm. as well as
for wealthy visitors who go to Maine every
autumn. Though none of the garments
which he constructs are made to order.
they all give good satisfaction to the pur-
chasers, none of whom complain about tina
wearing qualities or the fit of Buzzells
clothes. This is all the more remarkable
because mcst of his men are rich men.
who are accustomed to purchase the best
articles in the market Buzzell made two
hufGred suits last year and will sell more
than five hundred this season. He cuts
them with scythe, sews them up with
common white wrapping Irvine, uses manil-

features grass ducking suits for hunters,
and is the only man in New England who
