The San Francisco Chronicle
makes the ponderoUs assertion that
the sugar planters Of Hawaii are
IN alliance with the sugar trust,
and are helping, to that extent. to
keep up sugar prices in this (San
Francisco market" This is a
most remarkable piece of news, and
shows TO what extent the Chronicle
viii carry It's policy Of misrepre-
sentation in order TO create among
Californians geod-Sized ill-will to-
ward Hawaii. 1t is true that Ha-
waiian planters sell their product
TO the sugar trust, simply because
the sugar trust has 4 grip ON the
American market, and the sugar
trust operates under the laws of the
| nlted States. and presumably
with the consent OF the American
people. possibly the people who
pull the strings in the Chronicle
hack office. If this alliance Is of
such friendly character as the
San Francisco contemporary seeks
To represent, why is it that the
sugar trust tigres 50 prominently
among the opponents of annexa-
tiont This assertion of the Chron-
iele is Of much the same order as

The New York Journal says;
"Whenever a stock jobher, rail,

menaced, he unfurls the CONNER

banner waved continuously by

comes up its folds are recognized
in the statement that Hawaii will
keep the United States in hot
