Commercial IS sill bs>ogi-s away on the
trade With Hawaii This morning il
prints the following:
The qsession whether the Hawaiian
business should - handled as domestic
or export business involves Tire question
OF the RICH, Of the people Of one part OF
the country To buy goods just as cheap
a. those Of any other section
\ member Of large manufacturing
concern said:
Manufacturers who are continuing TO
treat the Hawaiian a. export business
are acting with poor Judgment and
against their own interests.
If they quoted lower prices TO the
people OF Texas, Sor instance, thsn they
would to the people of the other states
and territories. think what q oommotion
there would be. People would say. and
with reason. that if tariff protection was
the rest Of the country. II is exactly the
same with the Hawaiian business, and il
is the most short-sighted policy in the
world that prompts the quoting Of export
prices to a part of the United States.
Many manufacturers have already recog-
nized this face. but the surprising thing
is that every one does not recognize il"
Most OF the large manufacturing con
Germs have ceased TO handle Hawaiian
business as export trade. and some of
them handled it as domestic business even
before annexation. In those lines In
which there is sharp competition and in
few in which this is not the case. how
ever. the manufacturers continue to give
the export rebate
In many lines there has been no reason
for giving Hawaii lower prices than the
United States, for long before the islantls
became a part of the nation there was Il
ticles of American manufacture free
port in the islands, while tariff was col
lected on foreign goods.
Manager Meyers of the foreign depart
ment OF the National Tube Company said
yesterday:
I'VE have never considered Hawaiian
business as anything except domestic.
Before the islands became a part of this
country they had tariff regulations aud
duties. and by an agreement with the
United States great many things were
on the free list and protected from for
eign competition.
I'VE have never had any competition
in Hawaii except that of the Pacific coast
jobbers, and have never discovered any
reason why Hawaii should have export
prices.
1T seems to me that any manufacturer
who gives Hawaii lower prices than other
parts of the United States is laying him
self open to the charge of having his do
nestle prices too high
At the Office of the National Steel
Company this was said:
Our Hawaiian prices are the same as
our own prices in other parts of the
United States We consider business in
that part of the country domestic bust

CONCERNING CONGRESSMAN.

Senator CulIom is said to present
more petitions in the senate than any
other member of that body, and it is
very unusual thing for a week to
pass without several being submitted
by him.
Senators Platt, of New York, and
Platt, of Connecticut, are both expert
weather prophets. 1t is related of the
former that he once made and won a
bet with the weather man at the SEN
ate end Of the capitol that certain
prediction of the weather man would
not come true.
The loudest speakers in congress
are Senator Tillman and Representa-
tive Brosius. Mr.. Brosius speaks with
a long, deep roar, while Senator Till
man, when thoroughly wrought up to
his subject, speaks in spasmodic
shrieks.
Several members of the house Of
representatives are shorthand writer's
Of more or less skill. Many of those
who are lawyers studied stenography
for convenience and effectiveness in

full of these writer's is Mr.. Hit, of Illi-
nOis.
