When we begin to annex islands,
we change our traditional policy and
become country with distant pos
sessions and responsibilities. We
undertake tasks for which We have
had no training, and assume risks
that we know not Of. 1t is in-
cumbent on those who advocate
that change OF policy to show where
its benefits come in and to prove
that the game is worth the candle.
There has been no attempt to do
this. Before the republic OF Hawaii
was formed they might have been
something to say on the score OF
extending the area of freedom, but
there is no room for that plea now.
They have all the freedom now that
we could give them, and rather
more, because if they were a part of
us, they would have to obey laws
made at Washington, where as they
now obey only those made at Ho-
nolulu. So the net result to us is
that we should get two Senators,
one Representative, and three
presidential electors in addition to
any that we now have or may here

Is this an alluring prospect to
our Republican friends2 A few
years ago they admitted in one batch
the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho, and Washington, in order to
keep their majority good in the
Senate and the electoral college.
Five of these six states voted against
them in the recent elections, and
they were only saved from defeat by
Democratic votes in the other states
which habituslly vote against the
Republican party in presidential
elections. Every one of the Rocky
Mountain states was more likely to
be and remain Republican than

Being already part aud parcel OF
Hawaii, they will become part and
parcel of us, not merely as voters,
but as persons. They will have the
same right TO move about that we
have. In other words, they will be
Americans and will have the
privilege Of entering the port OF
San Francisco when they choose, in
such numbers as they choose. They

THE PETTIGREW BILL.

Senator Pettigrew has introduced a
bill TO provide for the submission to a
popular vote at the congressional cleo
ton of 1898 this question:
Shall the constitution of the United
States be so amended as to provide for
the election of United States senators
and of the president and vice-president
by direct vote of the people?
The bill may or may not pass, but the
question with which it deals is one
destined to become more or less prom
inent in the near future. Every little
While it comes to the fore in some
state and that tends to force it upon
the attention of all the states There
IS a good deal of discomfort all over the
country with the present method of
electing senator's; and this grows.
This question has recently been dis
cussed quite thoroughly in Maryland.
The discussion was started by the
president of the Reform league in an
interview. 1t was his view that, under
the present system, as a matter of
general principle the public good would
be better safeguarded were the people
to understand precisely what man they
were indirectly voting for for United
States senator when directly voting
for members of the legislature. The
Baltimore Sun obtained the views of

lead to the defeat of the popular will

electoral college, the defeat of the pop-
1lar will was apprehended merely.

WHAT ALDRIcH MADE CLEAR

Wharton Barker's paper, The Ameri-
can, says:
One truth Senator Aldrich makes
clear, and that is that a protective
tariff cannot be relied on for revenue.
Resulting in a building up of domestic
industries and the development of our
own resources, a protective tariff must
free us from independence on foreign
markets, lead to a repression of i'm
ports, and hence of customs dues de-
rived from such articles. So we must
expect in the years to come, decrease
rather than an increase in the customs
revenues to be derived from the pro-
tectiVe schedules of the tariff.
Senator Aldrich's speech made it so
clear that a protective tariff cannot
be relied on for revenue that it will be
a very hard matter to becloud it
again so that the people will not see
the question as it is. The protective
ideas that have dominated the country
since 1861 have been very different
from those that we're current before
that time. The idea of the protection
lists in the early part of the century
was to make the tariff a means of en-
couraging and building up American
industries. and that when this was
done it he'd accomplished it's object
It should be obvious to all that the
moment the industries of any country
have reached the stage where they can
command their own market, foreign
competition as such must cease; that
henceforth there is an exchange of
goods, and that revenue from tariff
duties viii tend to diminish rather than
increase.
But the aim and object of such pro-
tectionists as Clay and Webster have
been lost sight of, and the tariff has
now become the instrument of trusts.
and kindred organizations, to exact
tribute from the people and to make
it impossible for them to go elsewhere
to purchase than 10 the trusts
Senator Aldrich's speech was a reg
ular Pandoras box. though it is prob
able he did not realize the fact when
he opened it.
