there would be some reason to think
that the secretary of war had gone
needlessly out of the way TO empha-
size as publicly as possible the most
unfortunate phase of Gen. Grants
career, known to few of the American
people-the fact that his resignation
from the army in 1854 was offered
TO escape trial by court-martial for
drunkenness. But Mr.. Taft did not
stop with this. His speech was not
ended until he had traced logically the
effect that Gen. Grants victory over
self had in making possible the VIC
tories he won later over the greatest
of English-speaking generals. Robert

him the more human. The struggle

but makes the character of the victor
stand forth the stronger for the fight.
Mr.. Taft, unquestionably. spoke

amount available is $30,161 10, Jeaving

A Local Question.

w. o. Smith said that as had been
said, the tariff was largely a local
question. For isolated countries like
Hawaii it resolved itself into a ques-
ton of a few articles Of prime import
ance for which there was world mar
ket. Hawaii's immediate and direct
interest in the tariff was in few such
articles, sugar. rice, coffee, pineapplcs,
tobacco, and sisal, perhaps. Outside of
these we have very little to look for
ward to. Effort therefore should be
concentrated on these.

imnorts Of rubber into The : ff,ited
States were about $4,000 tons. There
were now about 1000 acres planted in
Hawaii, which when in bearing would
yield about four-tenths of one per cent.
of this amount. But rubber was pos.
sible because of sugar, and therefore
the rubber industry would give its sup
port to the sugar industry.

Honey Needs Protection.

A. F. Judd, speaking for the honey
industry, said that its present product
was $50 tons of honey and 10 tons OF
wax, worth 100000, which was about
the amount imported into the United
States The Hawaiian honey comes in
direct competition with the honeys from
Cuba and Central America, on which
there was a. duty of twenty cents q
gallon. He hoped that this duty would
not be removed. The industry had an
immediate future of about 100000 8
year.
