.Of Honolulu to spread themselves on
decorations this year," nr said this
morning. 1--WE are going TO hav" a
splendid parade and We would l;Ne
TO add to the impression which the
parade will make by having the city
brilliantly decorated
The matter Of decorating the city
las been enthusiastically taken up by
those connected with the parade, and
the following letter has been sent TO
"a number of the business men and
merchants of the city:
The Mid-Pacific Carnival and
Floral Parade management is not able
this year to undertake the decorations
of the city on the plan originally out
lined, funds being insufficient to do
this, and at the same time carry out
the other features for the days Of
celebration
1T is earnestly requested that the
merchants themselves undertake this
decoration, each attending to his own
premises. The city will be crowded
the entire week, and should show all
the patriotic colors possible. Our Wis
itors will be from all parts of the
country, and by a liberal show of
decoration, we can greatly add to
their appreciation of Hawaii and their
friendship for us as a territory. On
the other hand, if We fail to show
such spirit, we shall give an unfavOr-
able impression.
I'VE want people to return to their
homes telling how Honolulu blaZed

on the birthday of George Washing
ton. Will you help"
This letter is signed by julius In
ger, chairman of the committee on
decorations, and each has a postal
card attached in order that the mer-
chant may notify the parade officials
whether or not they will offer their
help. Those connected with the parade
feel assured that they will receive
the hearty cO-Ope ration of the mer-
chants in overcoming the difficulty
which is set forth in the letter.

There has been so much comment
upon Mr.. Bryan's failure to serve
wine at the dinner given by him to
the foreign ambassadors that he felt
the need Of making the following pub.

Believing that the issue should be
met frankly in the beginning, I told
them (the ambassadors) when we sat
down to the table that Mrs. Bryan
and had been teetotalers from our
youth, as were our parents before us,
and had never served liquor at cur
table; that when the president Was
kind enough to tender me the port
folio Of state asked him whether
our failure to serve wine would be
any embarrassment to the administra-
ton, and that he generously left the
matter to our discretion.
Il suggested that I thought it un-
fair to assume that those coming to
us from abroad would judge us harsh
" or be unwilling to tolerate the
maintenance OF q traditional custom,
and expressed the hope that our
friendship would be made so appar-
emit to them and our hospitality so
cordial that they would overlook this
weakness in us, If they regarded 1t
as weakness. My remarks were

done away with altogether. Necessi-
ties placed on free list will make a
total annual saving to the American
consumer Of close to 100000, 900,
while there will be other vast savings
in duties which have been reduced.
The republican theory Of placing
duties which shall equalize the differ
ence in cost Of production at home
and abroad, has been rejected, for the
reason that, to quote the report, "a
duty which equalizes this average diff
ference protects no one, since it is
more than is needed by the most eff
ficient producer, and less, than is
needed by the least efficient produc-
err
AS a matter Of fact, because of
American machinery, and efficient
American workmanship, cost OF pro-
duction here is no greater than it is
abroad.
The Committee, however, recogniz-
es that even in inefficient factories
there are workmen who must be pro-
tected from the hardships Of bust
mess panic. So the revision has been
made gradual, so that these factories
may gradually become efficient.

SPECIAL WASHINGTON coRREs-
d IS, tyg PONDENCE.

By Clyde H. Tavenner, Member OF
Congress-,
The report Of the Ways and Means
Committee on the Underwood tariff
bill has been published. For the
benefit of those who talk tariff with
their neighbors, l will give briefly
some of the salient facts brought out
in the report.
There have been growing up under
the fostering care Of successive pro-
tective tariff laws gigantic trusts
dealing in the necessities Of life.i The
Underwood report names 224 Of these
Industrial combinations with a total
capitalization of nearly nine billion
dollars.
Another effect of prohibitive tariffs
is the resultant waste Of the natur-
al resources Of the United States
resources, which, when once exhaust
ed, can never be restored. With for
eign timber, ores and minerals barred
from importation by prohibitive du-
ties, we have been exhausting our
own at a ruinous rate.
While industries within the country
are rapidly becoming monopolizedf and
competition is being smothered, there
has been no spur Of foreign competi-
ton to make our trusts adopt the
most efficient manufacturing methods !
Obsolete plants, old machinery and
methods, which have prac- ;
tically been eliminated in foreign
exist in this country. This
is waste, and the public pays for !,
every dollar of it.
In the new bill the rates on per
tunes, fine chinaware, automobiles,
ewelry, tobacco, oriental rugs, Paris
lats and other luxuries have been in
creased or maintained. The present
'ates on such necessities as lumber,
;oap, cutlery, sugar, meat, flours,
.otton and wool clothing, paper and
hoes have been greatly reduced or

THE NEW TARIFF Law.

E h .
Through the thoughtful kindness OF
Representative Connolly we have on
our desk a copy Of the tariff bill
which may be passed by the House
before the end Of the present week
While it is not possible to draft a
revenue bill that will suit everybody,
this new measure should, and we be-
lieve that it will, be quite generally
approved by the people. s.s
The tax on necessaries is reduced,
or wholly eliminated; and the tax on
luxurfes is retained. and in some in
stances increased. Duties are i'm
posed in a statesmanlike manner, and
no American industry is attacked or
treated unkindly. While that is. true,
the features Of our present law,
which foster monopolies and injustice
are eliminated. "a

now, and west Of Constantinople, for
the first time in sos years there is
no Turkish army in Europe. This
condition has its political effect. The
