TRYING TO SAVE HANNA

THE SILVER REPUBLICAN,

The Silver Republican party has been
formally organized for the campaign Of
1900, and the lesser campaigns preced-
ing the great coming struggle. Thirty
two states and territories were repre-
scented in the meeting Of the national
provisional committee at Chicago Tues
day, and strong resolutions were passed
calling upon the government Of the
United States to establish bimetaliism
at once, the free coinage Of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to l, upon alb
solutely equal terms.
Once more is the strongest evidence
presented that friendship to silver and
the desire to establish genuine bimet-
allism is confined to no one party; that
popular feeling against the single gold
standard is increasing rather than d.
minishing; that very considerable por.
ton of the Republican party declines to
wear the collar of the money power, now
80 firmly riveted around the neck Of the
old organization.
The advocates of the single gold
standard are prone to sneer at the Sill
yer Republican party, saying that 1t
represents only the Rocky mountain
silver states, yet at Tuesdays meeting
thirty-two states and territories were
represented, and the nucleus of an ac-
tive working organization was formed
for each of these states. The Silver Re
publicans hold the balance Of power in
the United States senate, and their rep
resentatives are among the ablest men,
bers of the upper house.
The friends Of silver generally and the
Silver Republicans in particular are to
be congratulated upon the selection Of
Hon Charles A. Towne of Minnesota to
be chairman of the national Silver Re-
publican committee. Mr.. Towne is an
eloquent orator, who combines knowl-
edge with eloquence, reliability with
brilliancy. His speech on the silver ques-
ton, made in the national house Of rep
resentatives about two years ago, was
one of the most remarkable ever deliv-
cred to that body and widely commend
ed for its clearness. accuracy and con-
vincing style.
Mr.. Towne is young man, active
and full of ideas. Possessed of a high
degree Of executive ability, he may be
depended upon to make the Silver party
count for all it is worth, and bring new
accessions to its strength as an. organ
ization.
1t was freely asserted a year ago last
month, when Senator Teller and his as
sociates walked out of the cut-and- dried
Republican convention at st. Louis. that
the Silver Republicans had dug their
own political graves, and that they
would never be heard from again. Du-
bois. Towne and one or two others did
fall outside the breastworks, refusing
to abandon a righteous principle for
an unrighteous, party, but their polit-
ical resurrection was too immediate to
suit the graveyard prophets. They are
very lively corpses.
Success to the Silver Republican party
in its fight for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. 1t will find the Dem.
ocratic party by its side.

Senator White Is Right

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Her

yesterday, Senator White said:
When revenue is essential. It would
be inexcusable to exempt two hundred
and twenty-five thousand tons Of sugar.

soil, In competition with domestic in
dustries. Americans have an undoubt-
ed right to invest abroad, but should
not compel those struggling at home to
contribute. expect to vote against the
whole bill. but 1 am in favor of the
amendment for reducing the exemp-
tion provided in the treaty.
The facts SO succinctly presented by
Senator White cannot be controverted.
He has taken the right course, and in SO
doing has shown clearly the selfish pur-
pose of the sugar barons in desiring to
have the present reciprocity treaty with
Hawaii maintained.
Under our treaty Of reciprocity with
Hawaii, sugar rom that country has
been admitted free since 1875. The du-
ties on the sugar thus imported from
Hawaii during the last twenty years
would have amounted to more than $751;
100000 In the period mentioned we have
also paid the Hawaiian sugar planters
~A10i0oV'oVV loi sugar, while hawaii
has taken only $50, 900, 900 worth Of our
exports. If that is the way reciprocity
works, the people of Hawaii don't re-
ciprocate.
The United States imports of sugar
from Hawaii, the Orient and Egypt
amounted to 100000 tons last year.
against 25O,o0O tons in 1892. The
Hawaiian product has nearly doubled in
the past four years.
Herbert Myrick, editor of the American
Agriculturist. in an article published
in the June Review of Reviews, says that
while the senate tariff bill points to the
abrogation OF the Hawaiian treaty this
was merely subterfuge to capture SEN
ator Jones vote. Such trick as this is
we'll worthy of the Republican tariff
managers and their policy, and is in wide
contrast to the sensible position taken
by Senator White, who Is a far bet
friend to California interests and a bet

and yet they want to- do just enough
to win the next elections. They have
no consistent policy but the one of "how
much can we do and not lose the f1ght?"
They seem to be trimming their sails

may keep them safe in port, for they
have no anchor that seems able to hold

power, not principle. The party that
stood for free soil and free men now
