How can American planters, who
are supposed to be almost a unit
for annexation, uphold the reten-
ton of the system, repugnant as it
is to the institutions and laws of
their country, which they are pro-
fessedly eager to have extended
over these islands? This ques-
ton of contract labor is the only
available key to the problem of
civilization. If the system be
abolished it will, besides smooth
ing the way to annexation, remove
in great degree the necessity of
running in more Asiatics by the
Thousand every few months. A free
labor system, with the corollary
of an effective law against vagran.
ey, would make it more profitable
for the planters to hire all the
loose labor now idle in the coun-
try than to send over seas for
more human shiploads. Intrinsi-
cslly, the contract labor system
makes against civilization. 1t is
wrong in principle, and ought to
be abolished. 1t is alien to the in .
situations we desire established
here, annexation or no annexation,
and therefore an obstacle to our
political development which ought
to be swept out of the path.

Mr.. Locbenstein's colleagues
from Hawaii in the Legislature
will hardly countenance the at.
tacks made upon that Representa-
tive by the press and>some people
at Hilo. Although Mr.. Loeben
stein is not bowling for appropri.
atoms for his island from his
place in the House, he has been
working therefor Just as bard and
faithfully as any Senator or Rep
resentative of the big island. His
views on the administration and
the constitution were wellknown
at election time and in the suc-
eeeding interval to the meeting of
the Legislature. AS member of
the Public Lands and Internal
Improvements Committee, he has
been working very hard night as
well as day. Regarding appropri-
atoms for Hawaii, perhaps the
critics at Hilo are not aware of an
agreement between the Senators
and Representatives from that
island, whereby all desired items
were to be originally proposed in
the Senate. The reasons for this
agreement ought to be obvious
enough without stating.

while no argument against the
scheme has been oftener and rssrs
vehemently aud effectively urged
than the conditions in Hawaii
arising out OF our contract labor
system. These two matters show
the Government to be inconsist
ent, unless it take its stand on the
side of the abolition bill.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1898-03-28

Now, as to the Legislature in
session. When it is stated that
something tangible is pending
there, reference is to the bill for
abolishing the contract labor sys.
tenn. That is exclusively the first
practical step to be taken. 1t is
the key to the whole situation so
far as that is presently under our
own control. There is no treaty
barring the way, but honest re-
gard for the annexation treaty,
already ratified by Hawaii, de-
mands that contract labor should
be abolished. Lately a communi-
cation of Mr.. Thurston, the
special envoy. to promote
that treaty in the United
States, was quoted which gave
ground Tor the expectation that
the Government itself was going
to introduce the measure. Why
the Government makes no sign is
a marvel. II is pushing bill to
sacrifice probably large additions
to the Hawaiian register of ship
ping, with all the returns of rev
enue such would yield to oui
treasury in taxation, just because
of some sort of a hint from
Washington that the United
States might like to get as few
ships as possible added to her mer
camille marine through Hawaiisn
annexation if 1t is going to come
about. Yet, so far as we have
seen, this ship registry business
has never been used by any Am
erican statesman or newspaper il

deed, many people hailed the re-

ject more gladly than they other
wise would have done because it
afforded the best possible promise
of an everlasting solution of the
civilization problem in these isl
auds. That popular concern, of
which mention has just been
made, cropped out away back III
the councils Of the Provisional
Government when tn Labor Com.
mission was Great d, which, al
though pIO,Iug futile in results,
had a good and honest motive.
Going still further back, compare.

ton, we huJ oil orderly and tenn
perate agitation of the white and
native workipgmen which con.
strained the Reform Cabinet, IN.
der the leadership Of Mr.. Thurs
ton, to issue a manifesto on the
subject OF Asiatic immigration,
stronger in it, warnings against
the danger to civilization than
anything spoken OF written be-
fore or since. A tile later, we
have the National Reform party,
mistrusting the good faith of the
administration and going to the
polls mainly on that issue, en-
abled, with the votes of few in.
dependent members, to seize the
reins of government. Then came
constitutional amendment pro-
viding an exception to the pro-
vision against class legislation,
so that Asiatic labor i'm
ported for agricultural and do
mestic purposes might be debar-
red, when their contracts therefor
had expired, from entering into
competition in trade and industry
with white and native people.
This amendment of course went
by the board with the constitution
of the monarchy in 1898. Its
purport was revived in the consti-
tuition of the republic, but under
neither constitution could or can
the provision avail for any restric
ton of competition from the
Japanese, because they have full
freedom in Hawaii, outside of
their voluntary contracts, under
the treaty between the two coun-
tries.

An editorial article in the Adj
vertiser on Saturday lameuted
what it alleged to be the neglect
of the Legislature thus far to con-
slider the one thing needful. Its
reference was to "the question re-
garding the political control of
these islands, either with or with
out annexation" The members OF
the Legislature were occupying
themselves with matters that, how
ever important in themselves,
were Insignificant in comparison
with this one of the fate of civiliz
alton in these islands. Nobody can
gainsay the degree of Importance
thus placed upon the question
stated. Yet that matter has not
been entirely neglected by all OF
the members. 1t is up in tangi.
BILE, form that will try both the
houses for the mind and heart
governing their actions when
broad QUESTION: of the country's
future are at issue. The gravity
of the situation as viewed by The
Advertiser lies in the very same
conditions,in kind if not in degree,
which have engaged the attention
Of thoughtful and earnest people
for the greater part of the twenty
and odd years since. Sugar was
insugurated as king by the Am
ericaG reciprocity treaty.

The BIG STEEL COMBINE
DOES NOT MARK AN ADVANCE OF
MONOPOLY
The Iron Trade Review Deems It the
Natural Product Of the Com
petition Regime

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 1.-The Iron
Trade Review this week commenting on
tho big steel consolidate says:
1t Is a product Of events in the iron and
steel world rather than an effort 10 con-
troll events. 1t is a part of the evolution
in the iron industry, rather than an at
tempt to bring about a revolution. If It
has an appearance OF fixing things for
aggression, 1t Is only on the theory that
q war status 10 the surest means Of pre-
serving peace. When the Carnegie Steel
Company became a miner OF ore on a
large scale and arranged with the Rookie
Teller interests for carrying It's ore at a
low figure, fiuctuating only within narrow
limits, the cry Of monopoly went up, but
no move ever made In the history Of iron
and steel manufacture was more plainly the
product of an intensely competitive re-
gime. The Federal Steel Company Is one
Of the late results Of the entrance OF the
Carnegie Steel Company upon the Mesaba
and Gogebic ranges An immediate result
was that ore contracts al Chicago were
written with the price clause based on the
mining cost Of the Pittsburg company, and
1. was only a step from such an arrange
ment to an organization of the Illinois
Steel Company and the company from which
because of common stockholders, It made
its largest purchases OF ore.
The prominence Of Standard OH stockhold-
ers In the new deal has been construed in
some quarters as significant Of close .fu-
ture relations between the two dominant
mining and transportation corporations Of
the Mesaba ranges. And 1t has been only
a step from this inference to the conclu-
sion that the Standard OH interest in the
Lake Superior Consolidated Mines and the
Bessemer Steamship Company might IA
ciiltate an understanding between the i'm.
portant Pittsburg customer Of the two lat
ter companies and the new company There
Is good reason to doubt the correctness
Of any such surmise. The Indications are
that the competition in ore between the
Two leading interests Of the Mesaba range
will be Just as intense as 1t has ever been
The plans Of the Federal Steel Company
allow for the addition of interests, whose
inclusion would be mutually advantageous.
Should there be no outcome of the tentative
effort toward further absorption, II is to
