the United States, is subject to n duty
of n cent per hundred pounds or SIC
ton. Suppose this duty was removed
which is the only protection we have
against the cheap labor productions OF
Cuba and Europe, and what would be-
come of our main industry. Even SUI
| gar at 1-4c. per pound Is not paying
| the plantations here more than pei
cent per annum on the invested capital
| Any revision of the tariff affects the
prosperity of Hawaii vitality, and wher
that revision of the tariff as announced
by the Democratic party is in favor
of free sugar, the land owner, the
merchant, the capitalist, the laborer, the
mechanic, all alike, should register
their protest against depression and
bankruptcy by its solid support of Re-
publican protection.
Second, and this is the main issue OF
the Democratic campaign the protest
against the Capitalization of power in
the executive branch of the territorial
government.

would place himself in a position
where he was unable to discharge an
employee, until all the stockholders had
been consulted and yet be held. ac-
countable for the successful admins
| tration of that business? Would any
Democratic nominee handle the affairs
of any large business, without the au-
| thority to remove an inefficient subor-
dinate? Does the Democratic party
contend that the Legislature must be
called each time it is found necessary
to remove a subordinate official? If
so the taxpayers of this community
must pay pretty penny for this Demo-
cratic method.
REFUSING OF GOVERNMENT EN-
PLOYMENT TO OTHERS THAN
REPUBLICANS.
When the Democratic President of
the United States, Grover Cleveland
assumed office every prominent Repub-
lican office-holder in the United States
was removed from Office and Democrats
appointed. Shades of Jefferson! if the
Democratic party We're successful and
control of affairs here, the Republicans
retained in office, who would not be
compelled to sign a pledge of fealty to
the Democratic party, could be counted
on the fingers of your right hand.
FREE LANCES AND INDEPEND-
ENT CANDIDATES.
The support by the Democratic party

ton and whose platform is Opposition
to the administration" shows conclu-
sively to the electorate, the lack of
real issue of the Democratic party, and
its readiness to support any and all
Corners "agin the government"
CONTROL OF LEGISLATION.
With a burst of Indignation, calcu
lated to awaken all the dead heroes of
Democracy. the electorate is called up
on to witness the awful spectacle of
Republican Executive working in har-
mony with the legislative department
in enacting such measures, as insure
to the taX-paying community an econo-
mical and efficient administration.
Such a thing has been unknown here
tofore, and all the Intelligent, indie
pendent and fair-minded legislators
who have always been found in the
legislative assemblies of these islands
in the past and who have done so much
to preserve good government" are call
ed upon to witness the scene. 1t is
better, according to the Democrats
idea, that the taxpayers of this Terri
tory pay $1,000 per day for 12O-day
session of the legislature, than that the
electorate of the Territory be degraded
by the working in harmony of the legi'
lative and executive branches of the
government.
REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
How does this sound to the taxpayers
and | quote from the Democratic plat
form: I'VE declare against the methods
and means used recently by the Exec
utive of the Territory TO readjust its
finances and cut down its expenditures.
Such retrenchment was brought about
by cutting down the salaries Of em-
ployees beyond the living point, and by
Diminishing other employees TO the detri-
ment of the public service;
"Whereas. we believe and declare that
the depleted condition Of the Territorial
Treasury would have been more justly
met by taxation upon wealth, ana IN
this connection we believe and declare
that an Increase In the rate of the in
come tax would have been more fair
and COURAGEOUS ana more democratic
than the method adopted"
