REPEAL THE STAMP TAX.

While the people of the United States
are kept busy licking revenue stamps
and sticking them on every conceivable
paper and document in use for the pur-
pose of maintaining the war in the Phil
ippine islands. it may prove interesting
to note the internal revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1899, was about 500 :
OOO,O greater than for the previous year:
and for the part of the fiscal year to
date the internal revenue receipts are
$1S,0OO,OO0 larger than for the correspond
Ing period in 1892
Up to date the surplus OF receipts over
expenditures for the present fiscal year is
about $55,0O0,cO0. as against a deficit Of
800, 100000 for the previous year. This
means that congress will have to deal
with surplus from this source of at
least S75,OOO,0 900 for the present fiscal year.
almost enough upon which to start an
other war. To wipe out the war tax
would be to leave a deficiency owing to
the expense Of maintaining the Philippine
war, so that the continuance and the
total extinction Of the tax present equally
embarrassing problems
The receipts from war revenue stamps
on documents. from which the general
public suffers most. amounted last year
to $Ss,OOOOOO, SO that If this stamp tax
were repealed It would still leave sur
plus of $36, Geo. and its repeal would be
a highly popular and sensible move. There
IS no earthly use in piling UP surplus
the way this war tax is being allowed to
do, especially when the tax is a great
annoyance and burden upon the people,
who are tired Of the distasteful Job Of
sticking stamps on checks. telegrams. ex-

ton which inaugurates it, Consistency
is a Jewel of such priceless value that its
possession has come to be regarded by
our masters at Washington as beyond
reach. To be consistent we must treat all
our new islands alike If we give to one,
we cannot withhold from the others. If
We withhold from all, the great policy
of national expansion about which SO
much is being heard these days from the
cucloos OF the, administration will pre-
sent itself TO all surrounding peoples as
a prospect before which all American
races anxious to'continue free must stand
appalled,. What a delightful prospect 1t
might present, for instance, to the Cuban
people if they are ever confronted by
the prospect of absorption by the United
States! What a delightful example we
will hold out to our Latin american
neighbors who have been taught to re-
gard the United States as at once their
patron and exemplar in the ways of civil
and political freedom!
The Hawaiian puzzle is uppermost for
the time. Its solution is certain to shed
a new and vivid light on Imperialism. no

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4. 1900.
1T IS HAWAII NOW.

Read in the light Of the progress of
events in the Philippines and in Puerto
Rico. the speech delivered yesterday in
the house Of representatives by Mr.. Knox
in introducing the measure establishing
permanent government in the Hawaiian
Islands Is as instructive as it ia extra-
ordinary. Justice is what Mr.. Knox
pleads for in behalf Of the Hawaiians
The Declaration of Independence and the
maxim OF the consent of the governed
lie at the basis of the presentation Of
his claims in behalf OF the people of those
Islands. He is assured that no trouble.
some precedents will be established by
our admission Of the native Sandwich
Islander and the white population of the
islands to the rights and privileges Of
American citizenship. He is assured that
while the admission Of Hawaii to this
Union is the first instance in which we
have thought of going outside the terri
toI4al limits of the American continent
in pursuit Of the policy Of national ex-
pansion. there is ample warrant to be-
found in the constitution for such a.
course.
All this is encouraging. But 1t merely
CLOSES the difficulties in the path OF
Chairman Knox and his measure. He
and his associates will have to deal later
with Senator Platt's proposed amend
ments, which seek to place Hawaii
on the same plane as Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, and which expressly neg
atlve any Implied promise of statehood.
Imperialism will hardly be willing to sub
NIT to the complete self-effacement which
this measure embodies. The passing of
events in connection with Puerto Rico
will have a decisive influence. A strong
faction of the party of the adminisra-
ton is loud in its demands that the col,
Onial plan find expression in Hawaii
as 1t is contemplated in the others of
the new possessions
The speech of Chairman Knox is an
apology. 1t is an effort to placate the
militant wing Of Imperialism. The com
mittee which he represents has already
rejected the amendments which would
place the islands on the same plane as
our other insular territory. But the ma,
tority is on its mettle in the assertion Of
the imperialist idea OF American COL
onies. and it may not be expected to
stultify Itself by silently establishing a
principle that is sure to plague its advo-
Gates in the future
Democrats must watch the progress of
this measure with the deepest interest II
matters not what policy is finally decided
on with reference TO The government OF
the Sandwich islanders. that policy win

WHAT FRANCE HAS DONE.
M. DeIcasse Recites the Story and
Is Cheered


PARIS, April 3.-In the senate +odov
senator Danay drew attention to the re-
latlons of France with Great Britain and
SAID that according to the report of the
consul at Shanghai Great Britain on the
outbreak Of the war in South Africa
withdrew her demands and adopted a
more conciliatory policy.
Inc war in South Africa" said M
banay, showed Great Britain that her
policy was one Of splendid Isolation, and
1t was to her interest to be more conciI-
iatory. I therefore suggest that the set
tlement of the fishery question now would
be most opportune moment for France -
M. Delcasse replied: Both nations
have their right to consider the dignity
Of the questions to be settled 1t is not
Tor me to speak of ridiculous threats
The time has not yet come to tell all
the truth on the Fashoda episode. but
neither France nor the government has
anything to fear from the publication u
the facts. History will say the last
word. All | can say now is that the gov
eminent took into consideration the dis
proportion between the end and the ef-
fort necessary to attain. The treaty of
1889 secured for us various advantages.
Since then We have had to negotiate
grave external questions. The treaty of
commerce concluded with the United
States Us advantageous to our Industry
and agriculture. and the negotiations re-
specting Shanghai secured a recognition
of our rights. The incident in the An
TILES was settled to our satisfaction, and
in Africa we are beginning methodjcal
development of our dominion. In Eng
land we have obtained a renewal of the
mixed tribunal law. These results are
excellent and they are so recognized
abroad. They are questioned in France
with the Interior method Of overthrowing
the cabinet. even though the country
should succumb at the same time. You
have seen the od1ous campaign against
our foreign policy. AS Tartuffe took the
mask of virtue so conspiracy takes the
mask Of patriotism. But 1t will not sue
coed any more than did Tartuffe."
NJ. Delcasse resumed his seat amidst
the heartiest applause.

Just to illustrate how the trusts regard
the imposition of even a 10 per cent tariff

company, states 1t to be his opinion that

prohibitive. Under the proposed tariff, Mr..
Towne says raw leaf tobacco would pay
an average of 5A cents per pound and
finished goods 771s cents per pound. This
would be a discrimination In favor of
the trusts manufacturing in the United
States of SIPS on each thousand pounds.
Such discrimination would simply de-
stroy Puerto Rican manufactures for the
sole benefit Of the trusts, and would not
benefit the people of the United States a
particle.
