The PrAnosed state of Hawaii

Lit has the largest leper colony
in the world.
2-Only 5000 of its 100, 900 inhab-
itants are enfranchished or have any
civil rights.
3-Only men of wealth can be
members of the upper house of its
Legislature.
4-This upper house has the max
ing of the President, and, contrary
to the usuage of every civilized
country, has the absolute control of
the strings.
Sits finances are in. hopeless
confusion because the rich men who
constitute the Government refuse to
tax themselves.
6--Ten- elevenths of its products
are sugar, raised on 50 plantations
owned by about 100 men and worked
by $4,000 coolies and semi-slaves.
Every great power in Europe
and Japan have refused fatty to
consider proposition to annex the
island.
S-The only hope of the present
Government is annexation to the
United States, which would thereby
guarantee the ruling class in the
lands it has stolen and give it fresh
and larger opportunities for thiev-
ing.
9-There are less than 5000 men,
women and children of American
birth or ancestry.
10-There are more than $4,000
Chinese and japanese contract la
borers, the only sort OF labor that can
be induced to work on the planta-
tions.
1.-THE islands have reached the
height of their possible development.
There is little room for colonists and
no opportunity for them, as every
thing worth having has been COB
bled up.
12-If the United States takes
the islands appropriation bills ex-
pending hundreds of millions will be
rushed through Congress. And all
of this money will be wasted.

High Duties On buttons.

The button manufacturers, present
and prospective, are unusually greedy
In their demands for tariff duties. Nc.
Kinley duties are entirely too slow for
the button infants. The following il
part of a statement made by button i'm.
porters:
The proposed duties on buttons, as
per schedule of the finance committee
of tho senate, are as a rule prohibitory
and would prove severe hardship on
goods used by the poorer and middle
classes, and also to manufacturers OF
various garments used by the mass Of
our people, such as low priced shirts.
underwear, clothing, etc The follow
ing data will give some idea of the in
equalities Of the proposed duties:
Agate Buttons-Present duty, also
Mckinley bill, 25 per cent; proposed
duty of one-twelfth of / cent per line
per gross, plus 10 per cent ad valorem,
would average from 81 to 1G1 per cent,
bearing heaviest ON the class of goods
that make up the great bulk Of the i'm
portations. The following schedule,
taking the styles that sell, shows the
range proposed:

They Ask Congress for Lower Duties
ON That Fuel-Fear the Effects Of
Threatened Canadian Retaliation.

WASHINGTON, June 26.- One of the
most remarkable petitions received by
Congress was that presented lately to
theRepublican members of theFinance
committee OF the senate, asking for a
reduced duty on coal, 1t is signed by
practically all Of the railroad and coal
companies in Ohio, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and Maryland.
1t recites that ''the Dominion of
Canada is our best and practically our
only foreign market for coal, purchas-
ing from us four tons for every ton
sold to US, If British Columbia is ex-
Guided, the expectation to Canada for
the year ending June 80, 1890. being
1870, $50 tons Of anthracite, OF total
expectation of 1,374,3s tons, and
1,675, 100 tons of bituminous coal of
total expectation of 2,346, 2s4 tons.
''1f duty of IS, or even 60 cents,
is placed upon coal, as proposed in the
pending tariff bill, it is certain that
the Dominion of Canada will adopt a
like tariff on American coal, and will
largely curtail our export trade of an
thracite coal. which is now admitted
to Canada free, and greatly reduce our
exports Of bituminous coal and have a
paralyzing effect upon wide and i'm
portant range of employment in the
mining and carrying trade.
A reciprocal clause is demanded to
the effect that whenever the president
shall be satisfied that the Canadian
Parliament has fixed a rate of duty
collectable on bituminous coal impor-
ted from the United States into Cam
ada not exceeding IS nor less than 40
cents per ton, he may make proclama-
tion of the fact and proclaim the same
rate for Canadian coal.
Among the signatures are those of
w. p. Rend, Pittsburg, Fairport and
Northwestern Dock Company, Pitts
burg Consolidated Coal Company, Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company,
Pennsylvania Coal Company, NJ. A.
Hanna & Co., Baltimore and Ohio
Coal Company, Pittsburg and Wheel
ing Coal Company, Pennsylvania and
Ohio Coal Company and about fifty
other companies in the Pittsburg and
other regions, representing employees
to the number of $40, 600, which at
the ratio OF five to one would repre-
sent LOO, 600 people.
An amendment to the Dingley bill
contains a provision similar to that
asked in the petition and doubtless
the point will be carried.

Plan BY which Annexation Is to Be
Elected,

The president has sent a message
to the senate urging that the treaty
just submitted by himself and the
cabinet be accepted. The plan is IL
rush it through before proper consid-
Grafton can be given the matter. In
his inaugural he opposed any foreign
annexation, but it suits the sugar
trust to be annexed, so they viii be
annexed The following are thu points
OF the treaty:
The United States OF Arnerica and
the Republic of Hawaii. il view of the
natural dependence of the Hawaiian
Islands upon the United States, Of
their geographical proximity thereto,
of the preponderant share acquired by
the United States and its citizens, the
industries and trade of said islands,
and states relative to public land shall
not apply to such lands in the Hawa-
Ian Islands; but the Congress of the
United States shall enact special laws
for their management and disposition.
The treaty further provides that
the present government under Dole
shall continue until the United States
takes possession. Further details are
provided for in five other articles, in
Guiding the appointment OF commits
sion of five Hawaiians to recommend
legislation. The Chinese exclusion
act is to apply.

Without Heiief, There is No Par
From Blindness TO Active Business in
twenty eight Days.

One year ago Mr. A. NJ. Cunning
ham, Ottawa, Kansas, found himself
blind in one eye from cataract and the
other failing rapidly. He had the one
operated upon by an oculist in st. Joe,
Mo, resulting in a painful confinement
and u totally blind eye. The other was
now too blind to do business. He then
came to Pittsburg for the express pur-
pose of placing himself under the skill
full care of DR.. Sadler, S04 Penn avenue,
whose reputation for success in cataract
has extended throughout the length and
breadth fthe United States. The re-
suit in this case added another laurel to
the Doctors credit, MIC. never having
had any pain either with the operation
or after it. In three weeks he could
read the finest print, and in four weeks
was out on the prairies of Kansas sell
ling reapers. The doctor has lost but
three cases out of the last 1l3 OF all ages
"a percentage of certainty worthy of
consideration No season of the year

One of the most striking indications
OF the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association .of the Unit
ed States. Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, Is at the head
of the movement.
1t is we'll known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, SO that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their petit
tion to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and Gripping American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists = namely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labor--is shown by census
figures to be a sham. OF the 5000, 600
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the Pc
tition that less than 200, 900 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, 900 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
100000, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed, any more than any other
high protective measure was designed,
to protect American labor or to pro-
duce revenues for the government It is
designed primarily to protect the trusts
and to foster monopoly. Baltimore

These buttons are not made here, nor
are they likely to be made. First, be-
cause little or none of the raw material
required has been found here second,
because the total sales being limited to
this country would not warrant tho
investment of the necessary capital in a
plant needed to make the various styles
wanted. 1t is evident that the intention
is to exclude these goods in the interest
of some higher cost goods. The proposed
duty would be real hardship and bear
heavily Oh the class of people who buy
"chiDa buttons" as well as on the
manufacturers of cheap shirts, under
wear, etc.

Republican Criticism of Taxed Hlds..

According to the protective theory the
imposition of tax on noncompeting
articles adds to their cost to the con-
runner. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplified in the proposed duties ON
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. 1t is es-
timated that the increased cost of boots
and shoes for one year under the pro-
posed duty would amount to $40, 000,-
900. With free hides our manufacturers
of leather goods have been able to build
up a great export trade in footwear. As
Mr.. Blaine said when it was proposed
to put duty on hides in the law Of
1890, ut will yield profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs
it." The interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of butch
ers and western ranchmen. Chicago
