HaWallan ISLANDS oIf, iAo,oof
By above comparison it is seen that
since the war the Cuban imports are
only one fifth of what they were before,
while from the Philippines we have Sc
cured a little less than one-fourth of
the former amount. The figures for
Porto Rico are not given separately
but it is fair to presume that, while
there was no rebellion in that island,
the war with Spain has greatly dimin-
ished the total imports for the year.
The data for the Hawaiian Islands
show that in five years the imports
have increased by over 15O,O0O,OOO
pounds. Since however Hawaiian su-
gar has been admitted free of duty for
fifteen years, the annexation of that
group to the United States will have
no further effect than to stimulate the
industry and thus increase the output.
Since it has been demonstrated that
water for irrigation can be secured
from wells sunk in the porous lava, 1t
is certain that the area devoted to
sugar-culture in the islands can be
greatly increased. This method of Sc
curing water, however, is costly and
not capable of unlimited expansion. so
that at this time we may fOrsee with
some degree of exactitude the probable
maximum output of sugar in the Ha-
waiian group. From the most reliable
information accessible it may be said
that under the stimulus of American
enterprise the Hawaiian Islands will
produce for export to the present
States about 1,O00,000,0 900 pounds OF
sugar in 1910. Beyond this figure the
| increase will be very slow and it is
more than probable that the figure
mentioned may not be reached for ID
or 20 years. Meanwhile the consump-
ton of sugar will increase so that by
the time the Hawaiian Islands send to
the present States 900 tons of sugar,
we will be needing a great deal more
than the extra quarter million tons
coming from that source. The Hawai-
ian Islands therefore may be elimin-
ated from the problem in so far as
their product of sugar shall affect the
industry here.
Since it was certain that the rates
OF duty on imported sugars under the
Dingley act would be increased, an
enormous stock of raw sugars was Sc
cured under the lower duties Of the
Wilson tariff The beginning of the
fiscal year, July LIST, 1897, therefore
found a stock of sugar so large that
practically no imports OF beet-sugar
Were made after July for eight months.
In April, 1898, the stock of sugar i'm
ported under the former tariff act be-
gan to be exhausted and beet-sugar
again commenced to come in from Ger
many. Considerable quantities Of re
fined sugar were imported during the
winter and early spring of 1898. For
the quarter ended September 80, 1898,
nearly 00,00O,OO0 pounds of sugar We're
imported from GeTmany-a quantity
considerably greater than for the whole
fiscal year ended June 80, 1898. 1t ap-
pears that change in the tariff has
had a more immediate and direct effect
on our sugar trade than annexation
can possibly have.
Referring again to the data directly
involved in the discussion of the sub

The Voice of the White Man.

Hark to the voice of the white man,
Ye Indian, We niger. ye slave,
Obey the commands Of the white man,
Or your trenches will be your grave.
His warships will enter your harbor,
His armies march over your plain,
Resist, and your life pays the forfeit,
Your losses are only his gain.
Hark to the voice of the white man,
AS it thunders along DER the tide,
There is nothing on earth he holds
sacred.
Apart from his own freside.
There he gloats DER his ill-gotten treas
ure,
While his victims are hurried to hell,
Mid the roar of the gun and the cannon,
And the shrek OF the shot and the
shell.
Harlt to the voice of the white man,
Ye dwclers in tropical seas;
The Redman, the Sepoy, the Coolio,
IltiFc Ilctilu III Ou DtHucu kUccS,
While you are at prayer in your temples,
Or enjoying the rest from your toll,
He is building machines of destruction.
To scatter your homes DER the coil.
Hark, to the voice of the white man,
The voice Of incorporate greed,
Be ye Christian, heather or savage.
He respects neither Koran or creed,
If ye shed the blood of his kindred,
In rivers your own shall flow,
Your homes will be scattered and broken
He will reap while you labor and SOW
Hark, to the voice of the white man,
Hear him tell of the deeds he has
done;
OF the slaves he has freed from bondage,
OF the battles that he has won,
He will tell you not Of the miscries,
That exist in his own domain,
Where the poor are crushed meath the
cross of gold.
And justice and honor are slain.

came known as the famous "house-di-
vided- -against-itself" speech.

Vlueu-aSalnSt-uSell speech.
On May 49, 1850 the Republican ma
tional convention met in Chicago and
adopted a platform on the 18th, and on
the 1Sth on the third ballot, nominated
Lincoln for president The election re-
suited in the electoral votes being di-
vided among four candidates, Lincoln
receiving $780, By the time of his inaug-
uration, March 4, 1861, the secession
movement had gained ;n alarming head
way and soon the country was plunged
into that dreadful conflict which at times
the union.
All through the mighty contest this
great mind and heart were devoted to
the saving of the union, and he re-
manned at his post directing affairs with
that remarkable ability and sagacity
that have placed him among the fore
most statesmen of the world, until, when
with triumph in plain sight, he fell, the
victim of the fanatical assassin, under
circumstances which plunged the coun-
try into universal mourning.
The famous speech delivered by Lin
coin on the battlefield of Gettysburg is
considered a classic. The address made
on the same day and place by the rhet-
orician, Edward Everett is forgotten.
while that of the self taught Lincoln will
live as long as the republic lasts. He
spoke as follows:
-Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are en-
gagged in a great civil war testing
whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long en-
dure. We are met on a great battlefield
of that war We have come to dedicate
a portion of that field as the final rest
ing place for those who here gave their
altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But in larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we can
not hallow-this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here, have consecrated it, far above our
power to add or detract. The world
will little note, nor long remember, what
we say here, but it can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for us, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here to
the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly ad-
vanced. 1t is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored dead
We take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full meas
ure of devotion--that we here highly re-
solve that these dead shall not have
died in vain--that this nation, under
God, shall have new birth Of freedom
and that government. of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not per-
ish from the EARTH"

In an editorial entitled, Let Us Pray"
the Boston Pilot pays it's respects to the
Evangelical League, which is asking for
aid to save the Philippines 'for Christ
and says: "Thcrc is nothing new in
this pharuSacal cloak for piracy, as
sumcd to cover designs Of pundcr. The
buccaneers of 200 years ago protested
virtuOus designs on occasion: 50 that, as
chroniccr of the period ayers, Capt.
Sawkins, an otherwise ruthless ruilian,
would throw the dice overheard if he
found any Of his crew using them on the
Sabbath Day, and Sir Francis Drake, the
eminent English buccanGcr built and
endowed Il church at Rio Loa with the
proceeds OF his sacking of Porto Bcllo.
The Evangelical League has plenty OF
hOmct for carrying it's creed in one hand
and the sword in the other, for the con-
version of the Philippines; but il will
hardly find any authority in the New
Testament for such mingling of religion
with conquest or trade. For that it must
look to Mr.. l<pIings poetry. or invoke
John 5rougham's potent tri-unlted
Anglo-Saxon civiliZcrs, Rum, Cum
powder and Religion"
