BRITISH PROSPERITY.

The prosperity of the United
Kingdom was greater in the year
1896 than in the previous year.
While nearly every commercial
interest in the United States has
been fearfully depressed for sew
eral years, in spite of the claim
that "it is the richest nation on
earth," the British hat has been
filled with the contributions of
every nation, every cline. The
little island, insignificant in size,
still dominates the world with its
commerce, and the United States
cannot divide with it.
Every day people are asking
Why is it so? What is the reason
of it? There are reasons enough,
but they do not count; only the
fact convinces. The policy of
Great Britain is to trade with all
the world and bring its money to
London. The policy of the United
States is to trade with its own
people and make money out of its
own resources and within itself.
This is a fact and not a reason.
The San Francisco Chronicle said
a year ago that a protective" pol
icy and one of foreign commerce
was in conflict. That paper holds
extremely high tariff views. So
the trial of these two opposing
theories of trade is going on be-
fore the world on a gigantic scale.
The United States sends to China
annually goods to the value of
$5,000,OO0. Great Britain sends
goods to the same country to the
value of about $7O,OOO,OOO. But
America is nearer to China than
Great Britain. The British levy
commercial tribute on all the
world. The Americans lay tribute
on themselves mainly.
We who are prosperous and
happy under the American policy
do not like these cold facts. AS

business men we accept the Am
erican policy, even if some OF US
dislike its principles.
Still, prosperity by legislation
IS not as comforting as it might
be, if it We're sound in principle.
The American papers say thar
the halls of Congress are crowded
Nth men representing every in
lustry, who claim that they will
al be ruined if duties are not
raised at once. 4 sad spectacle
Of a great nation whose citizens
must starye if they cannot get
help from somebody.

The Chinese in Manila are
much oppressed, but they are ex-
cellent money makers. They find
the Spanish officials without any
bigotry, in the way of receiving
brides.
The Japan Gazette sums up
the character of the japanese
in these words: ''The truth is
that they are many sided, and
have numerous virtues as we'll as
clearing defects. The casual visi-
tor admires their politeness, their
artistic productions, their light
heartedness and their patriotism.
The merchant deplores their com
mercial dishonesty, their fckelness
and deceit. Both are right, but
the globe trotter overlooks the de
feets while the resident is too apt
10 only remember the faults, and
to ignore the good qualities" 1t
is now quite well understood that
the power which keeps the people
in order, is not the constitution,
but the divine origin of the EN-
peror When belief in that ends,
we shall see disturbances and re
volutions. Belief in the divine
origin is slowly passing away, but
it will have political force for some
time to come.

Hilo to the effect that ]. R. Wilson had
offered to construct road from Ke-

Gradually they take an interest
in such admirable institutions, as
that conducted by the Rev. Frank
Damon. The Governor of Singa-
pore said, some years ago, "The
Chinese will assimilate them
selves to the communities in
which they reside, if they have the
chance, but the process viii be a
slow one" If they were even here
only as contract laborers, they
would never become good citi-
zens. But many of them are
here as independent merchants,
and rice planters, and have
a stake in the country. There
is the utmost cordiality ex-
listing between them and our
own merchant The sagacity of
Che Chinese merchant in Canton
was shown, recently, in the set

porting firm. 1t failed for 5000
taels. At once, several of the
Canton guilds, in the same line of
business, fearing the effects of the
failure, upon the credit of the
merchants generally, made up the
loss. The best merchants of the
world could not do better. 1t
is evident that their "heathenism"
has a silver lining.

Regarding the Pearl Habor cor

Regarding the 1earl HaDOf con-
cession to the United States, made
in the extension of the Recipro-
city treaty., the statement made
by Prof. Alexander, which we
publish in another column, clear
ly defines its nature The matter
was, unfortunately, not settled at
the time, as clearly as it should
have been, but that was not the
fault of Minister Carter. He ac-
complished all that could be done.
While governments split hairs,
when it is for their interests to dc
so, it may be assumed that the gov
eminent of the United States, I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Mckinley
will take no technical advantage
of any obscure point in the treaty,
if the sugar interests here do not
try to drive a close bargain. If
the value of the Pearl Harbor con
cession is overestimated by us, it
may stir up the American states
men to treat us harshly. They
know perfectly well that no other
nation will, under any circum-
stances, take that concession, even
if offered to them. They will
treat us generously, if we put
them on honor.

Judge Hart is undoubtedly
right in stating that under any
and all circumstances, the United
States will exercise a dominant
influence here. Even if they re-
jected overtures from us for closer
union, that dominant influence
would remain, but it might be
used in a way to seriously injure
US and destroy our commercial
prosperity. If the United States
desires closer relations with us,
and we refuse them, it might pro
woke measures on their part
which would put us in CONNER
cial jeopardy. We are, by this
force of circumstances in the
power of the United States,
and we cannot help ourselves. The
great danger is that a good many
of our people seem to think that
they can trife with the people of
the Great Republic, without suf-
fering from it. In this, they may
make a serious mistake.

writes to us, referring to our sug
yestion that the Government un
lertake the carrier pigeon service
md asks: "Can the Cabinet be
trusted with a lot of fat pigeons?'
We reply that, under ordinary
circumstances. the members OF
the Cabinet can be implicitly
trusted. But the temptation of
fat pigeons as the possible in
gradients Of pie might cause them
TO make disastrous fall from
grace. It is conceded that al
Iuaus they resist the temptation
to take food home, in spite of the
justification by national custom,
and no articles have ever been
found in their felonious posses
sion. But if the Executive build
ing is turned into dove cote,
populous with fat birds, the temp
tatiOn might cause one if not all
Of these good men to go wrong.
This is not the place to discuss
the relative strength and weak
ness OF the members Of the Cabi-
net. The Attorney General might
Weld before the Minister of the
Interior threw up the moral
sponge. The Minister of the In
terror might slip fat pigeons into
his pocket for an evening meal,
when the Minister of Foreign AT
fairs was not looking. The Minis
ter of Finance, who becomes rest
less when the Kalakaua dollar is
impaired to the extent of the one
milliOnth part of a cent, might
secrete a few for his starving
family, when the President was
Mr.. Cleveland to order.
If luscious pigeons pervade the
stately precincts of the Executive
we believe that the
of the Cabinet will re-
'ist temptation, if they are held
-Ogether by the cement of their
consciences. But if temp
alton comes to them singly, we

Sugar" on the sugar beet indus

man in these islands, without re-
gard to occupation, should care
fully read this article, as it
touches his private interests, di-

cloud, in the California sky ff-
teen years ago, is rising and be-
coming large and black. Col.
Spreckels says that in ten years,
the sugar beet industry will be the
greatest industry in the State. He
strikes the key note, when he
says, at is the only profitable
thing left for the farmer" There
is some uncomfortable truth in
this.

THE WHITE LAB0RER.

I
of annexation talk rather fiippant
ly about the white mans capacity
for laboring in the sugar cane
| fields. If it is really true that the
white man cannot work to advant
age in this field, we are confront
led with a very serious proposition
which endangers both annexation
and reciprocity.
The policy of the United States
is largely in the hands, not OF
farm managers or farming corpo-
rations, but in the hands of the
actual tillers of the soil, the field
laborers. These men hold today,
with their allies, the wOrkingmen,
the supreme power in the land at
the ballot box. This power in
creases every year. 1t is becoming
more intelligent eveN year, be
cause these small farmers are edu-
eating themselves. The foreign
policy of the United States is
largely in the control OF these
men who pillow, and hoe, and reap.
When an intelligent resident of
these Islands, merchant or plant
er, says to these toilers, of Am
erica. "YOu cannot work in our
cane fields; it is forbidden by
law of nature; only certain races
can work here, and the yellow
skin does the best" what is the
reply of these millions of field
hands of the United States? Is it
not this? ''Do you ask us to annex
a country in the principal indus
try of which we cannot labor? Do
you not know that on every foot
of soil from Key West to Alaska
we are laboring in the fields? If
you will look you will see that our
laws do not touch a spot on which
we, the white men, cannot make
a living with industry and intelli-
gence? We boast of this; our lit
erature is full of it. They tell us
that we, the tillers of the soil, are
the mainstay, the hope of the ma
ton; that without us our civiliza
ton will soon decay. Now you ask
us to annex a place where we, the
white labOrers, will be helpless,
where we>must yield up to other
and Asiatic laborers that suprem-
acy over the soil which is the
mainstay of our political institu-
lions. The men of the soil are,
the political philosophers tell US,
in the van of the conservative so
cial forces. You tell us we must
go to the rear and other races
must take the lead. Let us hest
tate before we annex spot where
the white man comes under an
awful spell. You may say that
the white man becomes the leader
in the tropics, that the sun only
withers his hand, not his brain;
but remember that we, the toilers
on American soil, acknowledge no
leaders; we do our own thinking,
for we are sovereigns. The small
farmer vote of Minnesota and
Wisconsin makes up the politics
of those States. The small far
mers', the laborers' vote on your
own soil will sooner or later con-
troll your politics. There is no es-
cape from it, unless there is des-
potism. Think seriously before
you finally tell us that we, who
control the destinies of the Am
erican Republic, must wither I'M
der your sun, if we become tillers
of the soil"
Some of the most intelligent
newspapers in the United States
are opposing annexation on these
grounds. Can we afford to admit
that they are correct?

Men. even Christians, whe1
they take the form Of nations
practically assume that the above
text j. not true, or Is an interpola
ton. But amy system Of SOUND
morals. and any broad conception
Of Christianity must assume thai
all men are morally one, if not st
physically, and should be bound
10 God, and TO each other by
the law Of universal love.
All literature, therefore, that
tends to impair the growth Of love
between nations, or impair the
moral unity of the whole race, is
harmful and immoral.
For nearly a century, the child
ren's histories, in the United
States. have made constant and
soul stirring reference to the vic
tories Of the Americans over the
British in the Revolutionary war,
and in the war Of 1912.
The children are taught to
gloat over the claim, that the
British were whipped out of
sight" The historians, through
fear or prejudice, have failed to
tell the truth. Only of late has
historical literature taken broad
grounds, especially regarding the
war Of 1912, and dared to expose
the fact, that the Americans did
not formally obtain any admis-
sion of the principle, for which
the war carried on, and that the
Americans were anxious to obtain
peace, when the great British
fleets were released, by the Napo
leonie peace, from the blockading
of all Europe, and were free to de-
vestate the American coast.
The best educators now insist
that the children shall be told the
truth. and that their minds shall
no longer be infamed with stories
and pictures of carnage, and the
mutual destruction between two
Christian nations of the same
blood. For these tend to make
swages of children, and destroy
that moral unity of all races, whicl
should cover the earth with a SCI
Of glory.
There Is but one flag for al
races. It's staff was raised on the
heighths Of Jerusalem, in the
twilight Of ''his star in the east
and by It's lanyards men of ali
races should forever stand.
From the standpoint, it may
be asked whether or not the so
ciety of the "Sons of the Reyolu-
tion," and other kindred bodies,
are not after all, in some conflict
with the principles of universal
brotherhood. They may keep
alive patriotic memories and deeds,
but do they not, also, keep alive
the memory Of events, which do
no credit to the human race, in
the fact that Gods creatures, and
professed followers, could not set
tie dispute without blowing each
other to pieces! May not the
statement be true, that ''the need

the intention of such associations
to create the feeling, but may they
not do so incidentally?
We need above all things, here,
''minute men" of all nations, with
the resolution of those who slept
on their guns in the cold of the
New England winters in '76, to
guard the living principles Of the
hour, and hold their picket line
