HAWAIIAN SUGAR-PLANTERS
[san Francisco Bulletin

The half-dozen Hawaiian sugar
planters who are organizing opposition
to the annexation Of the Islands to the
United States are possibly making
trouble for themselves. The produc-
ton Of sugar has been made especially
profitable in the Islands through the
conditions established by the reciproc-
ity treaty. Under the present tariff
there is an ad yalorem duty of 40 per
cent on raw sugar All foreign pro-
ducers Of sugar are required to pay
this duty except those carrying on the
industry in the Hawaiian Islands The
principal reason why an exception has
been made in their favor is that the
Islands have been considered almost as
a part Of the United States. Nearly
four years ago the Dole Government
forwarded TO Washington treaty pre-
yiding for annexation. When Cleve-
land became President he put the
treaty in his pocket. 1t has been sup
posed. however, that it expressed the
will of the Hawaiian Government
Now, if sugar planters who have BE-
come millionaires through treaties ana
laws which gave them free admission
10 the American market, and which
relieve them from the operation of
American laws denying American
sugar producers the benefit of cheap
contract labor, bound together TO OBJ
pose annexation, they viii certainly be
placed on the footing Of other foreign
producers Of sugar. In any revision
Of the tariff, sugar is certain to be
protected 4 duty Of IL cents a pound
on foreign sugar is urged by advocates
Of revenue tariff as q revenue meas

tariff as protective measure. There
viii be no deep sympathy in the Unit
ed States for Hawaiian sugar planters
who make exceptional profits through
the employment Of cheap contract IA
Dor. If the planters Of the Islands are
rot willing 10 be put upon the Amer
lean labor standard, they will be r.
