in his search for problems" might
have found out that goods are export
ed from the United States to Canada
American labor is employed To make
American goods, and, of course, the
more foreign goods that are pur-
chased means that more American
goods have to be produced TO nay for
the purchases, and making trade abso-
lutely free would practically mean un-
limited purchases of foreign goods
and practically unlimited production
of American goods 10 ray for them
We don't get anything for nothing, and
restricting trade is bad business. To
protect any commodity by a tariff
privilege hurts every other commodity
that would have been produced to pay
for the products Of the privileged m
dustry had trade been free. If we i'm

If there was no labor in the United
States there would be no imports. The
more we import the more we produce

We export. In protecting one industry
we inj,lre all others. When we shut
imports out we are shutting exports
in, and we are the worse of in both
ways II We could possibly protect ali
industry alike there would be no pro-
lection whatever and there would then
be no need of a tariff. If protection
is better for the people than free
trade, people would not purchase for

would be better, and there would be
no need of a tariff.. 1t is really sur

A FREE.TRADER's ARGUMENT.
Honolulu. April 16. 1916.

Honolulu, April 16, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: IN Fridays issue of the Star
Bulletin G. o. P. writes that in 1913
people in the United States received
$2,750,000 worth of grain and -four,
$12,440,000 worth In 1914, and that
they received $3,100,000 worth more
of leather and wool from farmers in
Canada in 1914 than 1913. G. o. p.
does not feel favorably toward these
transactions as he conveys the idea
that the money paid for these goods
was a met gain to the farmers, and
that the purchasers and consumers in
the United States lost all. Is it pos
sible G. O. P does not take into ac-
count that the U. s. people received
grain, -four, leather and wool? Did
the bread and cake made from the
grain and -four starve those who ate
the bread and cake, even though
American labor was employed to do
the baking? Did the American made
wooden clothes fail to keep the wear
ers warm, and how about the Ameri-
can made shoes from this Canadian
leather Did the leather cut off the
poor American feet? If all American
money paid for Canadian goods is a
met gain" and the goods received are
a dead loss. is It not too bad that the
Americans do not know enough to go
to Canada and get this net gain and
prosper like Canadians? Americans
stay where they are because facts are
not as G. o. P. thinks.
If it were true that we paid real
money for our imports from Canada
and the Canadians did not purchase
any of our goods, there would be no
loss to Americans, since there would
be no purchases whatever if they were
not profitable to the receivers of the
goods. Canadians also purchase from

Homemade Furniture.
One OF the most striking exhibits
is that showing box furniture made
from small packing cases or boxes
easily obtainable from any grocer's.
This booth is in etire charge of Mrs.
Malcolm MacIntyre. Most Of the sam
pies of this simple homemade furni-
ture she made with her own hands,
showing how easy il is to do. In the
making OF the child's bed from such
material, Mrs. MacIntyre was assisted
by Clifton Tracy.
There is besides the bed, a child's
wash stand, cupboard, clothes box,
table with baby and toy furnitures,
fireless cooker, ice box. On the walls
can be seen simple drawings. designs,
dimensions and directions for the
manufacture OF these and other pieces
out OF this crude material Mrs. Mac
Intyre states that in many homes Of
the poor, unless some such means as
this is used the babies go without
adequate furniture necessary for its
individual welfare.
There is an amusing series OF
Scenes in the life of the newborn
child taken from life" in the clothing
exhibit in which complete assert
ment of baby clothing is shown of
all qualities and kinds. Whitney &
Marsh furnished a good deal of the
clothing, and a model layette made
by ladies of Central Union church,

ties, is also shown, together with
model cradle with mosquito net.
Here are some Of the terse, trite

After a fall in the Alexander Young
lobby, which he received in moment
OF dizziness late Saturday afternoon,
o. A. Steven, former auctioneer,
charged in four cases with having vio-
lated the emigration laws under ille-
gal recruiting of labor, was taken to
Queens hospital, and is now under the
care Of a physician.
Stevens condition was said today
at noon to be quite serious, but it is
also stated that he hopes to be
strong enough to appear in Judge Stu
arts court tomorrow morning to an
swer TO the four charges brought
against him.
When persons in the lobby of the
Young hotel rushed to Steven as he
lay on The marble floor Saturday after.
noon after his fall, they found blood
squirting freely from long cut over
his left eye. The wound seemed to
relieve the blood pressure that had
come with the spell of dizziness and
to revive him.
He refused aid. though apparently
in a dazed condition. A telephone
message. however, brought a physi.
clan who ordered him sent to the hos
pital immediately.
Steven was taken in custody by
Sheriff Rose Saturday afternoon.
shortly after the habeas corpus writ
that he had petitioned for in supreme
court was discharged by the chief Jus

DRIVING TRUCKS ON SIDEWALKS

When it comes to loading household
goods there are localities where it is
advantageous for the truckman to haul
his conveyance up onto the sidewalks
in order to get clear of the electric
car tracks, or to avoid the blocking
of the streets by the loading of the
truck in the center of the highway,
but it is a. practice which ought to be
resorted to with due care and consid-
Grafton for the damage which heavy
auto trucks or a load of goods is likely
to do the sidewalks. From the man
ner III which thoughtless drivers per-
sist in disregarding this feature in
connection with driving on the walks
no small amount of destruction is
caused and every time a sidewalk is
broken up it means a bill of expense
to the property owner which is entire
~ out of proportion to the convenience
which accrues to those connected with
the moving van.
Sidewalks as a rule are none too
good in the city. There has been a
constant demand for their improve
ment but there is little to encourage
the fellow who has to put out his
hard cash for new walks, or to keep
them in repair when others persist
in using them for highway purposes
There is such a thing as imposing up
on good nature, and the Willingness OF
others to do what they can to heir
those engaged in the none too easy
business of loading and unloading
trucks, and it is certainly one of the
instances when passable sidewalks are
crumpled to bits by a heavily loaded
truck. If proper care cannot be taker
to protect the walks it is time tina
the practice of driving onto then
was promptly stopped.

PROVIDING FOR MORE OFFICERS

In connection with the recognized
need of Strengthening of the army and
navy there has been perhaps no
wiser move made than that which
makes provision for an increase in
the number Of officers for both
branches of the national defense. The
success of military or naval operations
depends to a large extent upon the Of
ficers and it is not possible to get
them by the volunteer system. They
need to pass through the different
stages of training if they are going to
be efficient and render the service that
is expected of them, and that requires
time.
Thus it was a wise move which was
| taken when provision was made for a
| substantial increase in the number of
mfddies at Annapolis, and that is now
| followed by similar action in the SEN
ate whereby the strength of the cadet
corps at West Point will be almost
doubled. That it should have place
| in the army bill which is finally ap-
proved cannot be questioned. 1t is a
move in behalf of preparation which
is along sound lines and attempted
none too soon.
An interesting feature in connection
with this measure is the provision
that West Point shall be opened tC
men from the ranks, whereby the
president is authorized to name not
over 200 such while the remainder will
be selected by members of congress
from the various states, with Porte
Rico and District of Columbia alsC
sending two and four Representatives
respectively.
This should be of immense advan
tage in taking care of the lack of of
ficers so frequently referred to, ant
when it comes to making the appoint
ments the Importance of giving con
sideration to the merits of the respec
tive candidates ought not to be over

enter belligerent countries but it
should wait until that was actually
taking place or until there was greater
assurance of such a probability than
is revealed by the presence OF such
subjects on an American vessel bound
for this country thousands of miles
away from their countries or the war.
The British have opposed such ac-
ton when warships of other nations
have removed enemy subjects from
their merchant vessels proceeding be-
tween neutral ports and 1t is no more
than proper that this country should
insist upon it's obedience to the pre-
cedents which it has established and
which others have recognized.

SHOULD REGARD PRESIDENTS.

According to the communication re-
ceived by the state department from
Great Britain. that country does not
intend to comply with the demand
made by the United States that the 50
Germans, AUstrians and Turks, who
were taken off the American steamer
near Shanghai by British cruiser, be
released. The refusal is based upon
the claim that these men were return
ing to their respective countries to en-
ter the war, but that is a matter of
pure assumption. The fact is that
they were travelling from one neutral
port to another on a neutral steam
ship, which they had a right to do, and
they were entitled to the protection of
the American flag.
If Great Britain relies upon the fact
that these men were headed for this
country as sufficient ground for
claiming that they were bound for
Europe and the war they are claiming
more than the circumstances warrant
for there are precedents enough tc
show that they are exceeding their
rights.

HOLLANDS UNEAsINEss.

All information which has been re-
ceived about Holland massing it's
troops along its border has come m
a round about manner. Switzerland
and Italy have put forward the news,
so that it will be necessary to get
confirmation through other channels
before it will be possible to feel Ger
tain as to what has taken place and
the meaning of it. Nothing comes
from Holland direct which does not
leave too much to inference, in at
tempting to reach any conclusion as
to what is the cause for the uneasi-
ness that prevails there.
Berlin reports declare that Germany
is not the cause of it and therefore
has nothing to fear, while it has been
denied in behalf of the allies that they
have taken any steps, or given reason
for believing that they were going to
take any steps which would make il
necessary for Holland to prepare q
defense against them.
At no time has Holland shown any
desire to get into the war but it has
on previous occasions made it plair
that it would defend itself against in.
vasfOn, and if it is now making a new
distribution of its troops along it!
border it need not of necessity repre-
sent any change of position.
That it could be of much assistance
to either side should it depart from
its neutral stand can be appreciates
since Germany could utilize that coun
try for an offensive against England
and the allies could send an arm,
through Holland to strike at vulner
able points in Germany, but in eithe
case Holland must understand wha
