the territorial Legislature is the
supreme power in the territory. In

the Legislature will be in an posi-

party to consider the best interests
of the territory only, to leave ma

The Advertiser also says that the
territorial Legislature cannot un
seat the Dole family compact and
Dole's appointees? Is that soa We
believe that by reading the act the
Advertiser finds that the consent of
the territorial senate is necessary TO
affirm his appointments, and that
consent he will never get as long as
be appoints useless officials, whose
only merits are that they belong to
the Dole clique.

more iguoraut than we gave it credit
to be. There are haoles on the side
Of the independents with more in

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-06-07

The independent party draws no
color line. As a matter Of fact the
prospects are that there will be
more haoles than native Hawaiians
in the first legislature, but the haoles
will be men whom the native voters
trust, men whom the know have no
axe to grind aud are as deeply de.
voted TO the country as are the
most patriotic of the Hawaiians.

TRADE WITH VENEZUELA.
Minister Loomis Thinks There Are
Possibilities OF Development.

Francis Loomis. the American Minister
to Venezuela, is il the city en- route to
Cincinnati where he will spend two
months leave of absence. Mr. Loomis is
well pleased with conditions in the South
American republic
There is big field down there for
the manufactured goods Of the United
States" he said last evening. Already
we are supplying the people with their
food stuns, and it is altogether possible
for the business men of the United States
TO build up fine trade in other classes Of
merchandise. The National Association Of
American Manufacturers has already
made a good start by establishing an ex-
position at Caracas. where the residents Of
the place can see actual samples of Yankee
products. The idea has been carried out
most commercially by the association and
ii is a notable display that has been es-
tablished. Unfortunately Venezuela in the
past two years was greatly held back by
the low price OF coffee. which sold around
seven and eight cents. All commercial
lines were stagnant, and the total volume
OF business was so small that America
could only get a little. Now, however. CGf-
fee is up TO thirteen or fourteen cents and
the country is accordingly prosperous.
The increased business is resulting in big
orders for American firms.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty that our
manufacturers encounter is their DISPOSE
ton not 10 cater TO their foreign trade so
much as 10 use it in getting rid of sur
plus stock. That is a grievous error. and
| Ii has cost us much The Germans who
have a strong foothold in Venezuela. have
studied the needs OF the natives exactly.
and they make up goods especially for that
field. Americans are coming TO do the
same thing, but in the past they have tried
, TO sell in South America what they could
not market at home. The VenezueIans
are perhaps the most honest people in the
world. They take a wonderful pride in
paying their debts and accounts with them
| are most reliable.
| Americans are going into many lines in
| the republic. They are now prospecting
| for rubber and asphalt, which are found in
great quantities.
