Political Echos

The attitude of the O.R. & L. Co is clearly exposed as being allied @ reform or plutocratic sugar@ party and against the party of the people. We hope that all our candidates who reach a seat in the legislature will bear this well in mind and while abiding the party platform to assist railway construction, they will deny such assistance to the pre@ent company, but will rather vote for some other method of securing railways. For the O. R. & Lm. Co. is faithless to its former friends and in turning the human machinery of its organization against those who gave them their votes two years ago.

 

The Pearl Harbor scheme which is being boo@nd by the land speculators who are operating with the O. R. & L. Co is a shrouded fraud. We are surprised that U.S. Naval offices have attached so much imports @ to Pearl Harbor, for this government has nothing to concede there. All the land bordering its shore s@owbed @ly private parties, and the title extends out to deep waters. The United State d will have to pay private speculators very dearly for whatever privileges they acquire there.

 

As a Naval Station, Pearl Harbor is over estimated? There are @ reaches of deep water, and @line of battleships could scarcely @ around in its narrow channels. @ being on our @ shores, hemmed in only by @ unprotected from @ heavy storms which @ right over it from the South and West. Strategically it is exceedingly valuable. @ parties could land in Waianae, @ or Koolau and approach Pearl Harbor in every direction overland by good roads. @ be a place hard to defend @ of hostilities.

 

If we wished to give Uncle Sam a Naval Station @ to give him the @ we would suggest @ Harbor. It is bigger than @ Harbor and has more @ room. The entrance is @. The harbor is slu@ mountains from our @. Strategically, it is @ in range of pre@itons mountains and is # of approach from @. The waters of the bay @ owned by private speculators as @ the case in Pearl Harbor, and the government owns both land and water, @ they can concede. His late M@ Kalakaua who was somewhat of a strategist and tactician had often expressed his opinion of Koolau Harbor as superior to Pearl Harbor @ purposes of a Naval @ and expressed surprise @ United States Naval Officiars @ Pearl Harbor, whereas distinguished naval officers of other @ had unhesitatingly observed the superiority of Koolau Harbor an opinion confirmed in their mind by the very excellent map and @ of the harbor made by Captain Jackson, which is now in the Survey Department.

 

If the sentiment of leading @tionals is interpreted rightly, the Pearl harbor scheme will not be favored by the National Party, nor will they favor any further legislature concessions to the O.R. & L. Co. But they will strongly favor the extension of railroads as a government enterprise. If any harbor is to be ceded it will have to be for a positively valuable quid pro quo and then it would be Koolau Harbor instead of Pearl Harbor. Lots of kanak@e have got little kuleanas all through Koolau which they are just as anxious to boom as well as the Pearl City boomers.

FREE LANCE.

 

Financial.

 

The great need of the people in this country is capital. It is the same in every country, and it is the chief disability that creates social discontent well-nigh universal the world over. And complaints comes from every rank in life, from the opulent as well as from the poor. In the reality of life all men must work for a livelihood and must turn all their accomplishments physical, mental, or moral to the work of providing for their bodily comforts and enjoyments. Our principal wants are material wants and there is but one main agent money. Men look abroad and see the evidence of great opulence, and they come to the conclusion that capital is abundant. They are apt to think therefore, that there is privation only because wealth is unequally or unjustly distributed. But they could not take a more erroneous view. The apparent abundance is only a result of contrast. The world after its effort, remains almost inconceivably poor. Divide all the wealth of @land equally among the people of the realm and it will give to each person, according to the latest @ data, the equivalent of @. Divide the wealth of the United States in the same manner, with our large immigrant population, and it is well known that the allotment to each person would @ more than $900 in money. In France, the results of a division will drop to about $700 per capita and in Germany it would fall to $500. Over the rest of the world with the exception perhaps of most of the minor industrial States of Europe the results of the @ would be even less fruitful and were the @vision made of all @ would have to be @ with about $250 or $300 for each person. Can we @ face @ of these @ly accurate for all the purposes of correct induction, that the world is opulent?" The wants of capital stops all progress and deprives people of the power of producing income. It is an urgent want from which the whole world suffers and the evidence of it is on every hand. Were it possible to obtain all the capital requisites, there would undoubtedly be projected enterprises in these islands that would give employment to a large population of skilled and unskilled labor at good rates of compensation. But. "Every merchant, manufacturer, and agriculturist knows that money in amounts equal to all its needs is never easily obtained on terms that he is able to meet, and that he is often unable to get it on any terms. Every workman should know, too that he would never be subjected to an hour of enforced idleness were it  not for the inability of so-called capitalists to obtain capital. The difficulty meets men at every turn. It confronts the rich as well as the poor, and it hangs like an incubus on every manifestation of enterprise. It is tr@ world's primal curse." To be Continued.

Platform of Principle

OF THE

HAWAIIAN NATIONAL LIBERAL PARTY

INDEPENDENCE OF THE COUNTRY PROTECTION TO HOME INDUSTRIES

 

PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT AND CONSTITUTION

 

1. We deem that all Government should be @ on the principles of liberty, Equality and Fraternity; we hold that all men are born true and equal before the law and are end wed with inalienable rights to life, to liberty, for property, to the pursuit of happiness and to self-protection against arbitrary con@ wealth @. We believe that just government exists only by the @ of the People, and that when it becomes necessary for the public welfare, they may abolish existing forms and establish more advantageous and eqaulable system; and as the present Constitution in the Hawaiian Kingdom never @ had the approval of the People, but was established by intimidation and fraud for the benefit of a certain class, therefore we favor the adoption of a new and more liberal Constitution to truly secure a Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.

 

@

 

10. The wealthy @ have been tied up in a @ hands @ paralled to suit favorites and @ farmers and planters have been driven @ by corporations or combinations of capitalists, but as small farming is @ to the stability of the @ it should be encouraged by @ and more liberal. Homestead act, by @ the ownership of small tracts of land and the settlement thereon of families of our present population - and especially of the native Hawaiians who have been left almost homeless in there country - should be rendered possible. To that end, the government and Crown @ (in so far as can be done without invading vented rights) should be devoted as soon as possible to homesteads and conferred upon bona-fide settlers free of taxes for a limited @.

 

It should be the further aim of government to, at once, so far improve the means of transport: @ -local, @ and international - an to provide in all the districts, cheap means of conveying the product of the soil to market.

 

ELECTORAL RIHGT

 

11. We hold that upright and @ manhood, and not the possession of wealth, arbitrarily fixed, @ the right to vote for nobles as well as representatives and no more power should be accorded to the ballot of the rich man than to the ballot of the poor man. The discrimination in favor of wealth now made in our Constitution is contrary to all of the eternal principles of right and justice and must be abolished. To this end, we will favor a leveling of the present distinction of wealth and classes which blemish or laws with respect of the right to vote for nobles, thereby restoring to the native Hawaiian privileges which pertain to them in their own country, and of which they have been unjustly deprived. 

 

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS

 

12. We favor the expenditure of @ to secure a number of needed public improvements on oahu and other islands; school, railroads and harbors and wharves, public light and @ thorough system of resevoirs and water-works, not only for Honolulu, but through-out the other Islands.
