1t is difficult to see why the United
States. should want any more dominion
over the Sandwich Islands than Japan
freely comedies her in the letter of her
minister to our State Department. Pre-
dominating political influence in the
affairs of the island she freely admits to
be our right and she denies any designs
upon the island on her own part. Practi-
cally she comedies United States protec-
torate over the islands. 1t seems to us
that this gives us all the advantage of
ownership without any of its disadvant-
ages, which would be many and great. If
Hawaii is incorporated into the Union
sooner or later we are going to be face to
face with very serious and troublesome
question of suffrage. The American resi-
dents there will in time want the privi-
leges of American residents in other parts
of the Union, that of regulating their
local affairs themselves-that is, they will
inevitably insist on Statehood. Then
there are perplexing labor problems to be
solved, if Hawaii becomes part of the
Union These problems and many more
can be avoided by the protectorate plan,
and at the same time most, if not all, the
benefits of an actual ownership of the
islands secured. We incline to think the
more the American people reflect upon
this subject the weaker will grow the
annexation sentiment. Our national
pride is flattered by seeing our dominions
| spread out, and national pride is apt to
be touched first by such a proposition.
Hence the annexation sentiment is likely
to be stronger at first than after there has
been time to bring reason to bear upon
the proposition.

the system is flying along the track of dis
case at such frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
brakes to "slow up" the disease and put
off disaster for little while; but that isn't
enough. What is needed is medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,
degenerating process.

The story which comes from Los
Angeles that Japan is preparing to
smuggle soldiers into Hawaii in the
guise of laborers belongs to the
category known in newspaper par
lance as "fakes." To do such thing
as that would be to precipitate war with
this country at once and it would give
the lie direct to Minister Hoshi who has
just solemnly assured our government
that Japan has no designs upon Hawaii.

ton treaty, but as that, body. is now dis

hope that there is chivalry enough among

Secretary Gage in his speech in Boston,
while recognizing the need of currency
reform, neither outlined or suggested any

that currency reform could wait a good

unless there comes a much greater con-
sensus of opinion as to what should be

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE DUTY ON HIDES.
fGppator HOar

'We all of us, representatives Of Mas
sachusetts, in both houses, regretted very
much the conclusion to put a duty on
hides. Some eminent manufacturers of
boots and shoes and other forms of leather
industry, think that the duty as it is left
will do little harm to New England man
ufacturers and will do little good to the
farmers who raise cattle. But the general
opinion think, among other manufact-
urers is that the duty will be an injury
to their interests. They had growing
export trade, amounting to, perhaps,
81, 500, 600 in boots and shoes, and little
more than twenty millions in leather in
forms. 1t is feared that the duty would
absorb the entire profit of this export
trade. That will be a serious misfortune
If it happens. But on the other hand
they must consider that the whole bust
ness of boots and shoes and leather
amounts to between 500 and 600 million
dollars. This great domestic industry
like very other, is depressed in times like
those we have passed through. Certain
ly, an export business of twenty-five mil.
lions would be purchased too dearly by
the injury to the domestic manufacturer
which the failure to pass tariff and the
consequent poverty and inability to buy
at home would have caused in the domes-
tic market. My colleague and have done
our duty according to the best light we
could get, and after seeking advice in
quarters where we thought we could get
wise and honest counsel.

We hope our free silver friends are not
shutting their eyes to the fact that silver
and wheat are getting farther apart-the
former going down, and the latter going
up. It used to be held by them that the
70 things were tied together, and that
when one went up or down the other must
follow suit. Probably the wicked specu-
lators are trying to discredit the silver
theory.
