and he was most courteous, and
expressed equal regret with my
self that our flag should not be in

planned to me that the tax inn
posed by the American Govern

flags is so prohibitive that he is
limited by orders from home to
flying it only on special Occa-
sions, such as when a British
man-Of-war is in port, ETC. Surely
Mr.. Taylor will think we may be
pardoned for feeling sore over
such lack of generosity! Yours

Definite information in regard to
this matter from some one who is an
on the subject would, am
sure, be of general interest.
The editor of the Literary Digest

Territory of Hawaii as at least one

and establish therein contented
population, this government has ex.
tended to those islands free trade and
given them the benefits Of marketing
their products within the protected
boundaries Of the United States
This proposed legislation removes all
such advantages and brings these
islands into open competition with
the entire world i'm the sale of their
principal article of export What eff
feet such legislation will have on the
domestic peace of those islands is
problematical. 1t is quite likely to
result in such financial depression as
will incite instruction and turmoil.
This legislation violates the spirit
and probably the obligation of our
treaty with Cuba, as it does not give
the required twelve months notice
for the abrogation of that treaty.
"A very serious question which
arises in this connection is what eff
feet this legislation will have upon
the peace and tranquility of Cuba.
Will it cause disorder and revolution,
which will force the United States to
enter that island and assume the gov
eminent thereof? If such will be the
result, how will we stand in the eyes
of the world? Will we not be accused
of the enactment of fiscal legislation
for the express purpose of bringing
about the annexation of Cuba? Such
method of procedure will give the
lie to all our protestations and man
ifestatoes concerning the real motive
behind our various legislative and
executive proclamations relative to
Cuba. Is the Democratic party ready
to espouse the cause of the annexa-
ton of Cuba? In no other country is
there such a mingling of the black
and white races, social condition
abhorrent to any Southern Democrat.
We have in this country a great
enough race problem, without taking
unto yourselves an island whose in
habitants have violated for genera
tons the most important law which
we respect for the preservation of the
purity of the Anglo-Saxon race.
with this legislation the Demo
cratic party reverses the policy of
the United States government toward
it's insular possessions and it's ward
over which it has assumed indirect
control; they introduce into those in
sular possessions hard times and con-
sequent turmoil and disorder; they
violate every pledge which this gov
eminent has made to these islands
and to the world, and throw a sus-
picion upon the real motives actual
ing our relationship to Cuba. Again
We ask why this is done and who
prompted such legislation, and the
answer is that during the six months
that the Hardwick committee was
conducting its Investigations the only
people who came before that COM
mittee with such a request were the
sole beneficiaries of such legislation,
namely, the sugar refiners of the
United States. With these refiners
the Democratic party, as provided in
this legislation, will join hands and
make common cause against the well
fare and prosperity of the people of
this country"
