1t is not the retailers who are large
ly benefited by Government trade, but
the wholesalers, yet on the whole both
are more or less interested and bene-
fitted. We see that it is to their inter
est, politically as well as commercial
ly, to do everything in their power to
retain their hold and. not to see it slip
away from theiy 4nds, and in order to
do it successfully they must run belly
aching" to Washington with every pic
ayunish complaint through an unoffi-
cial delegate, thereby showing our
own weakness to rule ourselves as well
as being incapable and incompetent to
locally control our own affairs without
Congressional interference. The whole
sale traders get the most of our Gov.
ernment contracts and not the retail
ers, and our opinion is that the whole
salers, brokers and money-lenders,
with a few lawyers and politicians in
the bargain, are at the bottom of this
whole scheme, and it is for the people
to be up in arms and prevent them
from carrying out their nefarious
game.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1903.
A DISPLAY OF WEAKNESS.

The town meeting" held Tuesday
evening was meeting called by the
Merchants Association for the pur-
pose of sounding the public pulse with
regard to Mr.. Hatch's mission relative
to the County Act. In another sense,
it was a public and an open meeting,
otherwise called mass meeting.
Aside from the purpose for which 1t
was called, such meeting could have
passed any matter it desired, whether
by resolution or otherwise; but such
was not the desire of certain mer'
chants present, for they claimed that
1t was only to discuss certain condi'
tions that have arisen and not to pass
on anything. or, in other words, 1t was
only talking meeting or gas tank,
machine affair.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-12-09

With all the buffetings that the
County Act is receiving from our
strenuous Republicans, the more are
we convinced of the truth of Repre-.
sentative Kupihea's warnings, who
was frequently referred to during the
last session of the Legislature as the
legal authority on the construction of
the Organic Act and was dubbed as
"Organic Act Dave" He warned.
While it was before the House, that
il was against the Organic Act and
unconstitutional, because it was al
legal and unlawful" and furthermore,
1t was irrelevant, ambiguous and un.
ineligible" ii we remember rightly
his high sounding words. His remarks
occasioned much laughter and merri.
ment then, but he never for once re.
ceded from the stand he took, which
he maintained up to the final passase
and approval of the Act, We now see
that his words are coming to be true.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-12-09
wisely" advisedly) adjourned to to-
morrow evening.

Why were the merchants" afraid
of having resolutions passed? We are
informed that there were set of "cut
and dried" resolutions to have been in
troduced and passed. but seeing that
there were not sufficient of themselves
there to have carried them by storm,
they were not sprung. A motion to
adjourn without time was put and lost,
but one to set date prevailed 1t be-
ing considered but fair to those who
were absent as well as to those who
had left on account of the lateness of
the hour caused from the escape of
too much gas. But we think there was
another and deeper motive for put
ting that meeting off, for the reasons
the merchants saw their power of con-
troll over the Government slipping
away from them. 1t is simple rot for
them to say that they can get along
without government assistance, as it Is
q well-known fact that the govern
ment is their chief mainstay, for with.
out such trade they cannot get along.
There is no denying the fact that the
merchants have a great deal to say i'll
the affairs of the country, more than
the people themselves at times, and
that's where their power comes in,
and it is that power that they do not
wish to lose the control of. For the re-
tention of such a power, they must
win the day, and in their attempt, dis
credit Hawaiians, if they will and are
able to do it.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-12-09

On the whole, they now find tho
County Act to be full of loopholes and
flaws, clearly showing Republican In
sincerity. 1t is the same bill as that
drawn, for a big fee, by the learned
U. S. District Attorney, who now suave-
ly admits certain imperfections of his
own making. He advised the going
TO Congress, SO Governor Carter in
formed us, and we see cropping out of
Il scheme for the discrediting of the
Hawaiian people. The more We look
into the thing, the more do we believe
that they did not want to pass such an
Act, and for that reason many uncon-
stitutional points were inserted, so as
to weaken the whole Act More will
we learn soon Of their insincerity.

TOPICS Or THE DAY.

The defects in the County Act in
no way reflect credit upon District At
torney Breckons and the several Re-
publican lawyers that assisted him in
drawing it up If unintentional, the
bilr is sad commentary upon the legal
ability of Mr.. Breckons and his assist
ants. If intentional, the community
has been made the victim of mean
and contemplate conspiracy. Which
is right, Mr.. Breckons?

The spirit of the large party that
greeted Governor Carter last night in
the Palace was such as to inspire a
conscientious executive in the right
direction. In the simple ceremony the
palm of confidence on the part of the
public was given, and it is to be hoped
that Mr.. Garter will prove equal to and
worthy Of it.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-12-09

remembered, however, that 1t was not
supported by the Democratic govern
ment and Democratic people of the
United States. Not in history has the
Democratic party wrested from a peo-
pie any territory inhabited to any ex-
tent and in any proper manner Or
ganized. Louisiana was vast waste
Texas came in of her own volition.
The remainder of the Territory ac-
quired from Mexico was savage and un-
organized. In 1858 when Secretary
Cass wrote in favor of acquiring
route at the Isthmus of Panama for a
canal that territory was in the same
state. There was no organized gov
ernment or tangible authority. Today
it is quite different, and no parallel
can be found in the Recommendation
of the requirement of waste territory
at that period for an important object
and the forcible seizure of it at this
time from an intelligent and worthy
people, and an organized government.
That is the difference between the two
cases.

In f1oundering around for handful
of mud to throw at Treasurer Kepoikai,
Governor Carter hit upon the fact that
the Auditors report for November had
not been promptly finished, and rushed
into print with the hint that there was
laxness in the Treasurer's Office. Audi
tor Fisher comes up, however, and
shows that the delay was in his own
office, and explains in sensible and
satisfactory way the cause of the de-
lay. Next time Football George

Had this question of the County Act
been brought before the Supreme
Court, last Summer, as was urged by
us, 1t would have been settled before
the election and there would have been
smooth sailing now. There is still
time to get it before the court before
the law becomes operative, and il
points are then discovered that are
contrary to the Organic Act short
extra session of the Legislature will be
all that is required to remedy the de-
fects. Our idea is that the law is not
SO seriously defective as to render the
working of the Act illegal, and that
the points about which there is now so
much discussion can be decided in the
courts as they are brought into play
without affecting the body of the law
and the county system.

BRINGS GLADNESS.

Marietta paid thirteen and an eighth
for cotton last Saturday and 1917
cents has been almost the standing
price. Our farmers feel good over the
splendid price they realized on their
cotton this season. The increased price
made up largely the shortage of crop.
We never saw better pleased people
than our farmers when they got 1917 cts.
for the "fleecy staple" If the price
could be same next season, this country
would be the most prosperous under
the sun. We believe if there is full
crop next season cotton will bring as
much as ten cents. Owing to shortage
it will take full crop to even uT
again, But we wuold advise our farm
ers not to neglect corn and hogs
Make plenty of provisions and you car
be independent. and your cotton croI
will make plethoric purse.
