DAKOTA FARMERS

before farmer audience OF 1000,
Nominee Hughes today analyzed In
sharp criticism the democratic plat

emnly warned his auditors that the

that in 1913, under the Payne bill.
the total OF imports was $1.S13,0 3,00O,-
900. against s2,1S7, ,OO0, 900 in 1915
under the Underwood bill. Notwith-
standing this vast increase, he de-
clared the actual revenue to the gov
ernment in duties on these imports
was only S212.000. 900 in 1916, as
against $4,000, 900 under the re-
publican protective policy.
As against these figures. Hughes
read the democratic platform en-
dorsement Of the Underwood bill and
the democratic assertion that It stood
for tariff sufficient to provide for a
government economically admins
tered. He denounced the administra-
ton for wasteful extravaganza In

"The mere existence Of resources

its business here not later than July
!, and that NJ. Phillips, the head Of
the firm, was in future to make his
home on the Coast. Philips when re.

known concerns in the Islands. ,ItSwas
started in 1868 by Michael Phillips,
father of the present manager.
At that time whaling was at its
height and whalers made this port
their headquarters and supply point.
The founder of the firm made repeated
trips between this port and San Fran
cisco, bringing cargoes of general mer-
chandise from the latter, place and dis
posing Of the same at a considerable
profit.
Shortly after the business was start.

some years after the local firm was
estAblished Mr.. Phillips located In San
Francisco and only visited the Islands
at intervals Of four or five years. His
partner, Greene, was left in entire
charge Of the Honolulu house and it is
due to his energy and judicious man
agement that the, house today rests on
such a solid commercial basis.
After the death Of Mr.. Phillips it
was necessary FOR Mr.. Greene to locate
in San Francisco and the business since
then has been under the management
of Mamie Phillips.
The premises at present occupied by
the firm are to be taken over by Fred
