The Democracy and the Tariff
(Woah;notoD poof \

The consensus of Democratic opinion
on the question OF tariff revision appears
to be summed up in the conclusion OF
Democratic papers that if the incoming
Congress should refuse or fail to revise
the Dingley schedules the Democratic
party would have o winning issue. "On
that" says one of our Democratic con-
temporaries, 1--WE can wage victorious
fight" The Post has no doubt OF the
fighting capacity Of the Democracy and
believes that in the contingency referred
to that party would have fair prospect
of controlling the next House. But that
would be no assurance of a Democratic
victory in 1904, nor would it change the
political complexion of the Senate. In
stead of Fastening, it might in the end
delay tariff revision, for that work will
not be performed by party that ia not
in possession of full legislative power.
In order to be able to change line or
figure of the tariff schedules the Democ-
racy must have control of both Houses
of Congress and the executive depart
ment, or lacking the latter, must have n
two.thirds majority in both Houses.
When one recalls the fact that notwith-
standing the numerous victories Of the
Democracy in Congressional elections,
that party has not been clothed with
legislative power but once since 1853,
and that it held that prize for only
two years, the prospects for another
Democratic tariff do not loom up efful-
gently. And when the history Of Demo
cratic tariff legislation in 1894 and its
effects on the party are recalled, one is
compelled to concede that the famed
fighting capacity Of the Democracy has
been exploited mainly between it's own
factions.

The Prices Of Food Products Higher,
Increasing Cost Of Living

Whatever the cause it cannot be dis.
puted that the price OF living has greatly
increased throughout the country.
The price of meats is said to be higher
than for any length Of time in the past
nine years Wholesale dealers say cheap
beef il unlikely fora year or two tocOme.
At the present time all meats, with the
exception of veal, cost the consumer ,
cents more than in the summer Veal it.
self is 6 cents higher.
This increase came suddenly about the
first week in September the dealers say,
and there is no indication of n return to
former prices Instead, the dealers pre-
diet that the price of meats will increase
from cent to cents within the next
three weeks and one il Of the opinion
that these abnormal rates will continue
for three or four years.
The rise of cents pound in veal il
said to be due TO the good prices at
present obtainable for milk. Farmers
find that they can get more profit out OF
milk than ont Of veal. and are allowing
their calves to become cows
Many reasons are advanced for the in
crease in cattle and hog products. The
principal one is the failure Of the corn
crop.
~ to cattle during the year thousands
Of acres which were formerly devoted TO
grazing were plowed and planted for
grain. The "cornstalk disease has also
tbinned the ranks of the beef producers,
and the heavy losses on the ranches in
winter. due 10 inadequate housing. have
by no means decreased All these have
combined TO make costs higher TO the
consumer The cattlemen, with depleted
herds, are forced to raise their prices, the
wholesalers are compelled to follow. and
the retailers are in their turn laid under
the necessity of leyying increased tribute
upon the army OF consumers.
In the grocery trade the situation Is
very different, and il any vegetables or
fruit have advanced in price the increase
has been directly to cropfailures,
as in apples and potatoes. Fresh laid
eggs and butter are higher than usual,
but this is explained by grocerymen as
merely the annual winter increase in
price The marked rise in cold storage
eggs was the work of "A combination,
which cornered this section oithe market
as it had done last winter. Canned
goods are higher, owing to the rise in
the price of tin, but with the exception OF
oats, practically everything else is on
normal basis

Keep Il Out Of Politics.

There seems to be disposition to agi-
tate the question of q change In the per
sonnel of the State Board OF Fisheries.
The present law and the selection OF the
men who comprise the Board were made
to eliminate the question of politics from
oysters. If Mr.. Montague and his hosts
propose to make political jobs in both
the State Board OF Fisheries as well rs
Board of Education and School Superin-
tendents, then the poor oysterman has
seen his finish, and in the scramble he
will be ground between the upper and
neither mill stone.
Maryland oystermen are just now tax
ing their last gasp in the death struggle
going on for years between oysters and
politics. Ii has been a beautiful fight,
regular Gladiatorial exhibition, at
times. between the Kings of both the he'
publican and Democratic parties. The
moor oystermen, divided into three classes
the dredger, the tonger and the planter
have furnished the material and means
upon which the bosses have lived, but
in their struggle, each for supremacy and
in their enthusiasm for their leaders,
they have forgotten self, and have been
rushed to the very edge OF the precipice'
and unable to gofurther, they look back
and see nothing but wrecks strewn every
where oysters gone, vessel property
gone, villages and entire communities
deserted and almost depopulated, and
real estate worth in many instances, less
than the taxes. These are some OF the
results ofpolities in oysters in Maryland.
We do not believe that Mr.. Montague
will ever be party to the turning oil the
hands of the clock Of prosperity in the
State OF Virginia backward, and we
therefore cannot believe that he will ever
be party to making the personnel OF
the State Board OF Fisheries subservient
to any political ambition.-Cepe Charles

THE BAR ASSOCIATION REPORT.

The report OF the committee of the
Bar Association appointed to formulate
and present charges against Judge
Humphreys is presented in full else
where in this issue.
IL such an analysis OF the charges and
of the Judges reply had been presented
to Attorney General Knox, there can be
little doubt that the result would have
been different
AS IL was the Attorney General Is
new member OF the Cabinet; an entire
stranger TO island people and condi-
items. Judge Humphreys wove before
him a web OF half-truths and whole
falsehoods. which could have been met,
hut which were not; and he accepted
as truth a score Of affirmations which
every intelligent citizen OF Hawaii
knows to be untrue.
The Bar Association has done and IS
doing this community an invaluable
service in fearlessly taking stapn
against doing politics" on the bench.
and in defense OF the right OF the par
TO practice law fearlessly in the In
terests OF its clients
The fact that the Attorney General
has acquitted Judge Humphreys OF the
charges made against him does not dis
prove their truth, as the committee
shows.
This report completes the record in
the case, and as the committee well
says, time will show whether the Judge
or the Association is right
The Judge has not been removed, out
the community is assured that 1T pos
sesses a body Of independent lawyers
which can not be brow-beaten nor cow
ed. and which will fearlessly protect
its own rights and the rights OF those
entrusted to it's care.
With an ungagged press and an In
dependent bar, the people of Hawaii
can feel certain that while justice may
be tardy 1t will be sure.
The experience may teach the Judge
discretion; but the chances are strongly
against It. The narrow, vtndictiTe
character of the man is manifested by
his first act the day after his arrival,
when he wantonly removed a COM
petent and faithful officer of the court
for no other reason than that, as secre-
tary of the Bar Association, he had GER
tilted to the correctness of the report
Of its proceedings, he having taken no
part In the voting himself.
All that is needed is time and oppor-
tunity and the Judge will more than
Justify every charge preferred against
him by the committees. - s.e-a5>-
