THE BANKS WILL FIGHT.
A Heavy Increase in Taxation in
Cleveland Nay Cause
Trouble.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 8.-Under an Or
der from the State Board of Equaliza-
tion the basis on which the banks of this
city are taxed has been heavily increased.
The taxa BILE valuation of the twelve
national banks has been incre ased 81, l54,-
600, and that OF the twenty-six State
banks $273 900.
This action is taken because the present
valuation OF the banks on the tax dupli-
Gates is much lower than that shown by
the reports made by The national banks
to the Comptroller of the Treasury. The
banks claim that they are legally entitled
to the offsets which have been allowed
heretofore and they will fight the matter

archy may be thrust back upon him.
Cleveland once tried to do it and
the Hawaiian remembers the fact.
Hawaii is then ready for annex
alton, and its Senate has, for the
country, ratified the treaty. All
that can be done on this side has
been done. 1t remains now with
the United States. 1t remains for
the Congress of that country to
consider whether all the material
progress, all the social progress, all
the religious progress made on these
Islands should be lost. Whether
the advantages to the Great Repub-
lie should be thrown to the winds.
Without annexation the system of
government and the civilization so
carefully and laboriously raised on
these Islands will collapse. Left
to themselves these Islands must
drift under the dominion of Asiatic-
ism. The danger is far greater than
either the Government here or the
Government in Washington realize.
The willy Eastern cries peace, but
in his heart he is determined to
pounce when opportunity comes.
Recent information makes this more
clear than ever it has appeared be-
fore.
Viewing the conditions here any
one who comes here with the love
of Western civilization in his heart,
with the love of home ties, of
Western institutions and Western
liberty, must say 4 am an annex
ationist. Even if there were nothing
to be gained by the United States l
cannot see those Islands float with

best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the soap

basket shaped, with long hand
les. This is the best soap
known, and we have three
sizes. They are cheaper than
dirt and much more beautify-

SUPPORT HOME INDUSTRY

The morning journal would make
a very loud howl if the Government
printing was sent out Of the country
to be done, and yet to follow out its
own reasoning of buying in the
cheapest markets, the pamphlets
issued by the Government might be
printed with advantage at the
Coast. The Government has its
printing done here, but it was rot
always so, and there is the memory
of man who as driven out Of
business here purely because the
Government of that day would have
its work done on the lines which
the Advertiser advocates. AS a
fact the Gazette Company has been
reaping an advantage from this very
plank in the platform which it falls
foul OF.
We are here as community and
we have to help ourselves, if we are
not mutually helpful we cut our
own threats. The Government
wants the support OF the merchants
and the mechanics, and it should
by all means support them and not
act i'll opposition to them. The
pecayune policy advocated belongs
to that stripe which says to Sheol
with the American mechanic and
trader, we can do very well without
them. But the Government is the
mechanic and trader, was made by
his efforts, exists by his support
ard understands that his views are
sound. AS to the mercantile infor-
nation, that. is supplied to The
Star by the leading mercantile men
in the country. with whom the
morning journal with its pro- Asiatic
proclivities is not in touch.
