FOR HAWAIIAN RECIPROCITY.
Emphatic Message From San Fran.
cisco to Senator Perkina.

cisco to Senator Perkins.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 22.-The cham
Der of commerce today sent the following
telegram 10 Senator Perkins:
The chamber of commerce reasserts its
position in favor of retaining the reel
procity section with Hawaii in the tariff
act, which has proved SO profitable TO
the state and this city, benefting all the
various industries and productions and
building up anu preserving TO the Ameri-
can flag the only section of our foreign
commerce controlled by the union. II
has given our citizens an opportunity to
prove their zeal and ability as eolonizers,
has given to the american people the
control OF the North Pacific and its
island commerce. and We who have hon
ored you 10 represent US as United States
senator. now demand that our wishes
representing the entire business commu-
nifty or the state. shall have your first
and best support.
Recent returns from California beet
Wilson tariff dividends of forty per cent
per annum and upwards, exclusive of
bounty. Such returns, without further
increase. now afford ample protection to
the preservation of the beet sugar indus
From this 1t appears TO US that the OPP
position to the present reciprocity with
Hawaii emanates from the sugar trust,
which is now Interested in the principal
factories in this state, and with the abro-
CATION or modification of the treaty will
be able to crush out the small factories. TO
the detriment of the farmers and con-
sLmers.
This is a national question, and every
senator must know what a source of dam
ger Bermuda proved during the years
from 1861 TO 1855 TO the union. Hawaii,
vastly more important In area and wealth,
in other hands than American. would de-
stroy our control of the Pacific ocean.
William r. Seward, when he secured
Alaska, never contemplated surrendering
Hawaii to the foreigners.
