PROTECTION TO SHIPPING.
a Few Nuts Fol the ~Pro-subsidy Adj
~yocntes to Crack. s

a Few Nuts For the P~ro-subsidy Adj
vocntes to Crack.
The advocates of shipping subsidies
refer, proudly TO the coasting trade
fleet belonging to the United States as
an example Of what subsidies will ID
for our merchant marine engaged in
foreign trade. For more than q hun
dred years u coasting trade has been
closed to foreign vessels. The perfect
freedom Of trade between the differ
ent sections Of our country has foster
ed an enormous domestic carrying
trade, which has until recently absorb
ed our activities in commercial lines.
The fact that foreign ships are not
permitted to participate in our coast
wise commerce compelled us to furnish
sufficient shipping for that trade.
Our domestic shipping has thus been
fostered at the expense Of our foreign
shipping. As we had not sufficient cap
itaI to take over both kinds Of com
merce and as we ssTere compelled to
tai over our coasting trade. our for
eign trade had to, be given up to for
eign ships. Once this condition was
established it became permanent be-
cause of our barbarous navigation
laws, which make it a crime for an
American citizen to buy ships in for
eign countries and which subject him
to irksome and senseless governmental
restrictions and exactions. All the pro-
lection to our coasting trade would
have been utterly %lnavailing had not
free trade between the several states
built up our enormous internal COM
merce, creating q demand for ships.
When we reflect that the tonnage en-.
gagged in Il coastwise commerce ex-
ceeds thai Of the whole combined Ger
man and French merchant marine, it
is easy to understand why we have not
been able to hold a larger share Of the
foreign trade.
The statement that foreigners carry
81 per cent of our foreign commerce is
misleading. In recent years American
capital has been seeking investment in
shipping until now probably 100000
tons Of shipping sailing under foreign
flags are owned by Americans.
The pro-subsidy agitators weaken
their case instead Of strengthening II
when they referzto u coastWise ship,
ping as an example Of what protec.
ton will do. In the first place. az has
been shown, our. coastwise commerce
has grown up under freedom OF trade;
in the second place, the protection Civ
en- our coasting vessels has resulted in
a twofold injury instead sof benefit
Freed from competition with foreign
ships, our shipowners have not pro
crossed as they would otherwise. They
have depended upon protection instead
OF efficiency, and consequently freights
are higher and service poorer In oul
coastwise trade than In u foreigI
trade. In addition. the. protected coasr
trade has caused our ocean eommerc,

We would like to find out whether
the members OF the Hawaiian Band +,
now on special tour to Maui, will
be again treated in the same way as
when they went on like tour to
Hawaii and Maui in 1896, after the
war. This is being Nked in all elm
cerity. At the former time, au sp
propriation had been set apart to
defray the expenses OF the trip, but
on arrival at the different stopping
places, the boys were meanly housed
and most shamefully treated, similar
to the last time in Hilo, some Of
them were housed in place infest-
ed with bedbugs. When they re-
turned here, their pay were sliced
eff bit from top to bottom in
order to pay for the trip, or rather
to make up the deficiency, IL any at
all. Those were in the PALMER days
of the Republic OF Hawaii, aud in
the present case, the Territory is 10

A more high handed and fragrant
disregard for the Fundamental
principles OF Anglo.Saxon liberty"
as propounded by Attorney Geaer-
al Dole, never was perpetrated in
this Territory than by the Board Of
Health in the case OF Father Wen
dolin. No reference to him was
made in the Investigating com-
mittee's report, no official charges
are preferred against him and still
his removal is requested. Come on
gentlemen, prefer charges and give
the "iriend" OF Ambrose Hutchison
a chance to defend himself.

We understand that G. B. Rey-

Health meeting yesterday that that
Lepsr Settlement scandal was only
got up for political purposes. That
may be 80, but it was the truth
nevertheless, OF such nature that
he could not deny the impeachment
complained of, although given an
opportunity to defend himself. AS
truth will out, he was so found out,
and very much wanting too at that.
Hs could not for all the world hide
his utter carelessness and neglect,
besides his cold blooded disregard
for the comforts OF poor helpless
Hawaiian who finally was eaten,
while yet alive and in confinement,
by worms, otherwise maggo!s.

on the dismissal OF the two guilty

the complainant who preferred the

He was our former schoolmate

he is honest, jealous to fault,

him Of old, we never fer moment
