The Hawaiian Issue.
(Fromsthe Boston Herald.)

u l)OouOA
The San Francisco Chronicle, paper
which stands high in popular estimation
on the Pacific coast, has taken upon it,
self to correct what it asserts to be a mis-
understanding on our part rs to what
the characterization issue means. Our
California contemporary says fthat 1T
agrees with us that there is no more dan
ger Of the Japanese government Selling
Honolulu than there Is that it will seize
San Francisco, for the reason that Japan
is we'll aware that the United States
would resent the seizure of Hawaii, as,
indeed, would England and France under
the convention of 1S43." This is an adj
mission coming from an exceptionally
well informed annexationist newspaper
which, we think, could be read to advan-
tage by quite number of our eastern
contemporaries, to whose curiously blind.
ed assertions we have been replying, and
who seem to hold the notion that Ha-
waii is a species of common property
lying loose in the Pacific ocean, and liable
to be seized by almost any sscovetous gov
eminent if the United States does not an
ticipate this action by stepping in and
annexing the republic itself.
From such nonsensical statements in
favor of annexation, it is pleasure to
turn to the well considered, even if not
convincing, arguments of our San Fran
cisco contemporary. The Chronicle
makes the point that, while Hawaii can
not be made japanese by seizure, it can
be made japanese by immigration; and
that it is toward such ends that the
policy of the Toxic cabinet is apparently
directed. Until protest was made bv
the Hawaiian government, once a month
an immigrant steamer arrived at Homo
lulu with from 500 to 800 japanese abroad
who classed themselves as "students'' or
''free laborers." These men were young
and hardy, comprising thousands of for,
mer soldiers of the japanese army, who

In the course of the debate of the con-
ference report in the House, young Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, who has some claim to
the title of Democratic leader in the low
er branch, declared that free raw mate
rails were no longer part of the Demo-
cratic tariff creed. Yet, until recently,
free raw materials was its chief corner
stone. 1t was with plea for free raw
materials that President Cleveland began
his tariff reform campaign in his first
term of office, and it was free raw mate
rails that the Wilson bill sought to give
the country, though it signally failed in
MANY instances. Mr.. Bailey's .declara-
ton may be due in part to the fact that
he comes from the South, which pro-
duces little but raw material, and where
there has lately grown up strong de-
mand for protection, which it could only
get by admitting materials to the pro-
tected list. But whatever the secret of 1t,
the falling away of the Democracy from
the doctrine of free raw materials marks
a distinct advance on their part. A tariff
for revenue only can be defended. But
a system which gives to the manufac-
turer his materials free of duty, and then
places duty on the finished product
and that is the system based on free raw
materials-is indefensible favoritism.
Protection when it shields the manufac-
turer solely from competition, taxes one
class for the benefit of another, and is
therefore of course unjusti1able. Either
all classes that are exposed to foreign
competition must be protected or none.
To protect the manufacturer and leave
exposed the farmer and the miner, as is
done under the free raw material system,
is gross injustice, and could not by the
very, nature of the case endure great
while. We more than half suspect that
one reason, and perhaps the chief one,
why the Democrats advocated free raw
materials was because of it's injustice,
knowing that is would eventually break
down the whole protection system be-
cause of that injustice, and that its aban-
donment now may be partly due to a con-
viction that it cannot longer be useful in
serving that purpose, and may become
burden because of it's indefensibility.

Mr.. W. E. Curtis calls attention to the
fact that the British government sells
all its publications. 1t gives nothing
away. If you want copy of bill that
has been introduced into the House of
Commons, or report that has been pre-
sented to the House of Lords, or any pub
ic matter in the London County Council
or the Board of Aldermen of the city, you
have to buy it from the official printers,
and you have to pay postage if it is
sent through the mails. In our country
nearly all official documents of this kind
are given away, and are sent through the
mails under frank. The British plan
seems to be more sensible. It saves mil
lions of dollars every year that are vast
ed in the United States to furnish public
documents to people who do not care
anything for them, and who throw them
into the waste paper basket as soon as
they are received. The charge for official
publications in England is only sufficient
to pay the cost and a small margin for
postage. Thus the government print
ing Office is self supporting, and the pos
tai service pays a profit of $40, 900, 900 to
100000 annually into the treasury.
On the contrary, on our side of the At
lantic it cost $1,000. 600 or more to pay
for printing for which no one is the wiser
and our Postoffice Department declares
an Irish dividend of 100000 or
100000 every year, much of which is
due to the transportation of "pub.
