MCKINLEY WHOOPING FOR HIGH
TARIFF.

Mckinley some months ago was cas-
ing down in his high tariff views. The
money was not produced by the hig
republican tariff to meet expenditures.
But owing to the unexplained out great
commercial activity there is a large
volume of tax received upon foreign
imports. This leads the little fellow to
say in one of his numerous campaign
talks that $3.50, 900 are received every
working day of every month upon for
eign goods. He is hungry for great
Expansion" in American shipments
abroad and no tariffs, but he does not
want foreign goods to come in urn
without paying at his counter big tariff
tax. The democrats t%ruthfully insist
that American consumers foot the bills
of high tax on foreign goods they buy.
The Philadelphia Record says:
HAS not our amiable president told
us a hundred times that the foreign
producers pay the tariff for the privi-
lege of trading in this country? Yet
besides the $3.50, 900 of revenue a day
the president does not seem to take into
account the large sums which the tariff
daily divertS from the treasury into the
Golfers of the trusts"
If little Mack Ices w Hanna $115-
900 on a note of long standing he is all
right as to high prices so long as he
| can draw from Uncle Sam $50, 900 year
ly, and furnished house with it's num-
erous etceteras. There has been no
time when goods were so inferior, So
full of shoddy, and when you gol really
so little for your money in clothing, dry
goods, etc.

That was a surprising statement
made by DR.. T. c. Crothers, of Hart
ford, Conn, in a paper recently read
before the New York State. Medical
Association. 1t must have startled the
hearers as it would the profession at
large, and the country generally. He
stated hat in a general history of 3,244
physicians residing in the eastern and
middle states, and some of the cities of
the western states, q per cent. were
found using spirits of opium to excess.
Six per cent. of this number took NOR
phia openly, while 10 per cent. used
opium or other drugs secretly. At least
20 per cent. drank spirits in moderation,
so called. In another study of 10 phys
icians 7 per cent. used opium or NOR
phia, and 6 per cent. were secret drug
takers. These figures show that at
least S to 10 per cent. of all medical men
are opium inebriates, and the estimates
is looked upon as being very conserva-
tive.

LIS FASHIONABLE WIFE.

1t is said that the wife of Ii Hung
Change possesses more gowns, to say
nothing of her supply of extra coats and
trousers, than any other living woman.
Mrs Ii is credited with having no few
er than 2000 gowns, and is said to have
1000 waiting women in attendance on
her \ cynic alleges that 500 of the
women are hired to spy on the other
900, and keep them from making inroads
on Mrs. Lis wardrobe. The Princess of
Wales has an extensive supply of
gowns, but the Princess of Sagan is
said to be still better supplied with
frOcks. The Countess of Castellane has

There are, roughly speaking 2l,0OO,OOO
pounds of almonds consumed in the
United States each year, some eaten
with raisins, some used in the manufac-

about 14,000,000 pounds of almonds in a

the other almonds are imported from

CHARGE TO PROFIT AND LOSS.

The local government should at once
pay off the expenses incurred by the
detained Chinese including those who
were driven back to China, and charge
off the amount to profit and loss.
1t is claimed that the local govern
ment was directed to do what it did
by the Secretary of the Treasury. But
he tells the Chinese DIETER of July 81,
1897 that their detention and expul-
sion was by reason of the action Of
the Hawaiian authorities" and there
fore he declines responsibility therefor
Was the Secretary told by the Special
Agent of immigration, that he gave
them no directions about detention,
and therefore the Hawaiian authorities
ought to pay these bills?

country, taken the part in political life,
that woman takes in Great Britain"
The American women have unques-
tionably the talent, tact and attractive
ness to equal and even excel their
British sisters in influencing political
measures. While this influence is felt
in State legislation, it is permanent and
strong in Congressional legislation,
and in the appointments to Office in
Washington. Their influence is mod
erately felt in local politics, and it is
increasing every year. 1t is a strong
healthy influence, and is the one abso-
lutte guarantee of the growth and un-
bounded expansion of American civil
ization. 1t is the true oxygen OF politi-
cal life, and wherever it is not found.
political growth, like the growth OF
plants excluded from air and sunshine,
dwindles and dies. While there are
many British women who are known
to the public as powerful agents in po-
litical life, there are many more Amer
lean women, who are silently guiding
political events in America, through
the schools, and in their homes.

THE OPIUM TRADE.

The enactment of laws governing
this Territory will fortunately close VI
the miserable farce of preventing the
importation of opium. Some of the
officials of the Customs House have
been demoraliZed by it, and the police
have been also badly demoraliZed by
it. In the mean time, and always, the
price of opium has been so cheap that
any one desiring to use it, has done so,
whether Chinese or native. The i'm
practicable moralists have stOutly pre-
vented license system, by which the
sale could be regulated, and made to
defray some of the losses resulting
from the disastrous effects of the use
OF it. Now, we are about to come
under laws which will bring crude
opium into the Islands, subject to a
dirty OF one dollar a pound, and refined
opium with a duty of six dollars
pound. AS this Territory will become
an integral part of the United States,
there can be no discrimination against
its importation, though there may be
against it's sale. But the dealers in the
stuff will snap their fingers at any law
regulating it's sale, when every man in
the Islands can import it in Original
package" however small it may be.
The bill for the government of Ha-
wall, now before Congress, makes no
provision for the sale of opium by
license, and as every one will have the
right to import it, when the law is
passed, it will be a cheap commodity.
The last legislature is responsible for
this unfortunate condition of things.
Some of it's members favored the plan
of license, because it was the best
method of dealing with the evil. The
mOralists, in and out of the 1egisla
ture,, defeated the measure, although
the Islands were about to be annexed
to the United States, where the people
have made opium as legitimate an arti-
Gle of commerce as grain and iron.
Naturally enough, the moraliSts are
thrown in a struggle with the power
and public opinion of America. A wise
mOralist is one of the lights of the
world, but stupid moralist does
things which are as bad as crime

DISINFECTINE
INSURES

No skill is required to have the air

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1899-09-06

There is now a large amount of cap
tnred opium in the Custom House. 1t
would realize, if sold in the States, over
$4,000. The sale Of it there, would
be as honest and legitimate as the sale
OF bread. Let the government sell it,
and with the proceeds put down an
artesian we'll which will irrigate arid
land that will accommodate fifty or
more desirable families. Then the
moralists may take the tourists to the
spot, and declare, This is the way we
get good out of evil" In fact, if pub
lie sentiment had forced legislation on
the subject, the vast sums of money re-
ceived during the last few years by the
opium smugglers and the police, in the
flourishing but prohibited opium trade
had been intelligently devoted to estab-
fishing an American colony, upon we'll
irrigated land, there would now be on
this Island, at least, larger number
of prosperous, happy, intelligent
Christian, if you please, American
farmers with their families than the
entire Anglo-Saxon population of the
Islands at the present moment. The
moralists have been poor statesmen.
