DANIEL WEBSTER AGAIN.

We quoted on Tuesday, the
views of the great New England
statesman, Daniel Webster, which
placed a small value upon the Pa
cific coast, and high value upon
these Islands, in their relations to
the United States.
If we had really no serious pro
blems here, we should simply re-
gard his views as those of a great
man, whose vision had failed, and
we would take no lesson from it.
If, on the other hand, we are very
seriously trying to get our reckon
ing, every day, his views are guide
posts, which indicate what the
drift of American sentiment has
been, on this question for many
years.
ALI things, our own thoughts
even, are governed by law, and we
ought to understand and explain
the swinging movements of the
political pendulum, in these inter
national matters. Why did Mr..
Webster ignore the value of a
magnificent empire. and highly es-
innate the value of few noun
tain tops rising out of the Paci-
fic2
The Americans, like the British,
were commercial nation in 1914.
They are so now. The Pacific
coast was a barren market for
merchants, and its exports were
only hides and tallow from the
Spanish ranches. As there was
"no money in it," the merchant
looked elsewhere, and the mer-
chant dictates to the statesmen.
In Hawaii, the rich ship owners
of New Bedford, New London,
Nantucket and Sag Harbor, had
their treasures in the Pacific, in
the "forties." Their ships were
running down the whales from
Hawaii to the Arctic Sea. These
rich ship owners made themselves
felt in Massachusetts,, and In Con-
gress. Men whose investments in
the fisheries, paid from 20 to 100
per cent. annually, could take the
time to make themselves heard.
Hawaii was the admirable rendez-
vous of these ships, for recruiting,
and for reshipment of oil and bone.
The rich ship owners created a SEN
timent in all powerful New Eng
land, IN favor of holding these
Islands for the use of the Ameri-
can trader. Not the trader of the
future, but the trader of the pres
ent. Trade created public senti-
ment. The roots of all annexation,
or protectorate ideas ran down into
and were fed by the New England |
trading interest. There is no rec
ord in America, of any interest
taken in Hawaii, beyond the boun-
diaries of New England, excepting
In Washington, where New Eng
land men had mighty influence.
Mr.. Webster saw Hawaii
through the eyes of the rich whale
men. 1t became his concern, be-
cause it was their concern. Trade,
like the birds of prey, had a far
sighted eye, and guided the near
sighted eye of the statesman.
When the whaling trade de-
.lined, and the rich ship owners
went into dry rot, or sent their
hips to the Golden Gate, the in
crest of New England in Hawaii
