Political Echoes.

 

            The second evil with which the vital parts of our country is threatened by the "sugar barons" is their proposed intention to secure the free entry of rice from China and Japan. The object of this is to enabale them to feed their wretched coolies a little cheaper. If they succeed in their selfishly evil design it will be the death knell of the second industry of the kingdom, and our extensive and profitable rice fields will be abandoned to fallow idleness.

 

            The native Hawaiian will be hte worst sufferer, but many other small land-holders will have to suffer with them. All over Kauai and Oahu especially are many thousands of acres of rice land udner lease to Chinese who pay high rentals and hundreds of natives ives upon those rents so received from their kulianas. Many white people derive handsome revenues from tracts of lands also so leased. Though the rice industry is small compared with sugar its profits re more widely distributed and it is an industry worthy of protection and encouragement. Let oriental rice in free and the Hawaiian rice interests would be worse paralized than sugar is ow, in fact all but ruined.

 

        Now why should our rice interests by sacrificed to the greed of the sugar barons. It is not the Chinese cultivator who will suffer. They will emigrate and go away, while the land owner bewaits his rents. The Chinese rice grower nets from his paddy but little more than good wages. The chief profit is made after the paddy is hulled, and the bulk of the crop is handed by American merhants in Honolulu. Are not these Hawaaina @@@@@ and merchants, who are a numerous constituency entitled to equal consideration with the sugar nabobs?

 

            What economy will the sugar barons effect by killing the rice business. They pay for Hawaiian rice about 5c.. free rice from the orient woudl cost about 3c thus effecting a saving of 2c.. and as each laborer consumes on an average about 5 saks of 100lbs., each annually, the economy would amount to about $10 per head yearly. Say a plantation having 300 hands would save about $3000 annually. A paltry sum in comparison with the other extravagant charges for inter-island freights, commission, @c, and  it does not justify the sacrifice of our second industry.

 

            Our annual production of irce is about 30,000,000lbs. Two-thirds of this is consumed here and the profits retained in the country. About one-third only is shipped to California. Free rice from the orient would oblige us, if we continued the idustry to ship it all to California, and Hawaiian rice would be robbed of it's local profits fo rthe benefit of the sugar barons and Asiatic commerce; and what would be the result in California. Hawaiian rice, duty free, now comes into cloe competition with American rice, the price being regulated in the East rather than in California. To have the bulk of the Hawaiian rice product suddenly launched on the California market would break the price down to fr@@sing point and put a stop to production.

 

            The Liberal Party proposed to protect the rice industry against the rapacious brigandage of the sugar baron, and therefore solicits and claims the votes of all those who have land and capital ventured in rice interests. Any other policy will wreck and ruin.

 

Free Lance

 

            At last the old "missionary reform party" have ventured out of cover and in Monday's Advertiser annouce a "ticket." It is botched up from the nominations of the "Native Sons" the "Mechanics Union" and the "Advertiser" crowd. It is undoubtedly the ticket that will enlist the chief opposition to the Liberal Party and will be strongly supported by the "uncurable bigots" of the old missionary reform party.

            The ticket  of the "Native Sons: concocted by a handful of native lawyers was weak from its inception. The Advertise knew that it puritanes and @@@@@@ command a vote. The amaigamated ticket presents a fairly good front.

 

            Of course the Advertiser wil in vent plandits for its candidates and will represent them as acme of all political and social virtue. They will also continue their malicious libels agianst our candidates and will try to represent them as "incurably bad" as "revolutionists", "empiricists" @@.  But there is an intelligent publi opinion in Honolulu, which is not led by Henry Castle and the little coterie of bra@@ed politicians that runs the Advertiser, nor will it be led by the Bulletin.

 

            Honest men will compare the two tickets and will observe that the "missionary" ticket is for the sugar planter and monopolist that the Liberal ticket is for the people, and in the aggregate carries abler and more independent men. The names that stands on the Liberal ticket are far above reproach and are beyond the reach of the vituperative falsehoods with the "Advertiser" and Bulletin level at them.

 

It is one of the strange ways of politics to whihc we somehow got accustomed to find J. Emmeluth running a company with men who are known to be of the plutocratic class of sugar barons and monopolists whose chief article of faith in these times is the diabolical plot ot save the sugar industry by flooding the country with East Indian coolies at 25 cents a day. How Emmeluth, the anti-coolie champion has been cajoled into striking hands with his mutual enemies, is one of those mysteries that would only be explained by @ret Ha@@es Chinaman.

 

            The Advertise party have no known policy, but we have every reason to suspect them of secretly entertaining plans fo the benefits of the sugar barons and monopolists only and inimical to the best interests of the whole people and of the country. The Liberal party is before the country with a platform that has had distinguished approvd at home and abroad. The attitude of the party upon the vital topics of the day has been clearly expressed through the journal and be its orators, and we are conceited enough to believe that the Liberal Party has put forth the best political doctrine and stands in the best attitude @@@@ @@ the people.  W@@ have the @@@ assurance of many honest and intelligent thinkers that the Liberal Party stands in best position before the people to merit their votes.

 

LANCETA IN PRINT

 

            W have seen a dodger in Portugues Lanceta. intended as an anonymous production ot stab Mr. C. W. Ashford. We regret that to it is appended the words "Viva o S R Dillingham, e Morra o' @@@fraud" as we would not willingly connect an honest name with so unworthy a character as "Lanceta."

        We are credibly informed by our respectable Portagues that Lanceta's father was hung for highway robbery, that his mother died in jail, and he himself is an escaped convict at present on @@@ as all @@@@@  @@@@@.

 

ON DET

 

            That the shingle short business in teh upper story did not work

 

            Who is running the Mechanics Union now?  The Advertiser

 

            Poor Boss Bowler feels very sore

            And says HC's an awful bore

            For 'twould take a thousand men or more

            To get that ticket as it was before.

 

            That the Advertiser finds a ticket

            Perhaps it will find the votes too

 

            That the Marshal used Grossermans ear as a new kind of transmitter on Saturday night.

 

            That the Christian )?) Hoodlums might like to see their names in print.

 

            That a certain opium smuggler and reputed gambling house proprietor made himself very conspicuous on Saturday night. That we avise him to keep quiet.

 

            That Dillingham once tried business conclusion with Harry Agnew and the Supreme Court records, which are very intersting show that an intelligent foreign jury left Ben in the bouillon.

 

            That J.F. Teata is attempting Bulldozing and is fast becoming detestable

 

            That Doctor Rodgers tried to show himself smart and had to take himself and his grecian bend away from the hall.

 

            That sunset Johnny tried also to have his friends registered and, other bounced.

 

            That the Lord o Waimanalo Mr. J. A. Cummins who is at the head of the "Native Sons of Hawaii" and chief director and owner of the Holomua, hs managed to reduce the natives on his plantation since last election time. Two years ago there were thirty native votes at Waimanalo, the list of this year will show sixteen votes. Mr. Cummins never had muchc use for a Hawaiians or Whiteman on his plantation He employs chinese whenever he can, even to his sugar boiler. But he is prodigal in supporting as anti chinese scribe just now --for a week.

 

            That before this @@@@@@@ through Ben will be @@@@@@@@ learn artesian well, @@@@@@@

 

            Who is @@@@@@ may @@@@@@ be president of the @@@@@@@@ Co, or President of the Railway or both?

 

            That the political meeing at Waikiki last Friday was packed with men from the Royal Household who had been instructed by J@@ H@@lube to make a disturbance against the Liberal speakers.

 

            That Dillinghams sleuth-hounds in their conduct at the public gatherings had better go slow or their corporations might suffer in more senses than one.

 

            That it was desperately amusing to hear Dillingham on Saturday night, with tears in his voice, rating Ashford for the part he took in the revolution of '87.  What  a pity Thurston was not present to joing Bennie in a duett over it with the reminant of the missionary party in @@@@ chorus.

 

            That cock-eyed Frank yelled well for Dillingham on Saturday night. He nearly yelled another way a short time ago over that Schank affair that was to be send to Sweden.

 

            That the Advertiser follows the advice James Gordon Bennet, ar, gave when asked how to make a newspaper: "First, get the news, the make a terrible fuss about it."

 

            Tha some of the lawyers candidates of the Reform-National-Boodler Party ought to study up the latest election law (1890), to see that they do not get entangled into some "corrupt practice" or "alleged practice" or simply "misdemanor."

 

        That we would agian suggest that it is high time for the immaculate Thurston to rise and explain that five-hundred-dollar stock deal. If the shoe were on the other foot; if it had been Ashford who had taken the stock, under like circumstances, the missionaries, and especially the hysterical old "Advertiser," would have rent the dome of Heaven with their shrikeiage of corrupion! "Boodle!! "Fraud!!!" and similar virtuous expletives.

 

            That it is not generally known that Marsden brought along one of the 20 cents a day Aryans for a sample. He may be seen XXXXXally flitting between the Holomua office and Kahumanu St. @@@@@ says the Meat Trust bought him at a trifle less than a certain missionary firm on King St. need to get per head for Kidnapped South sea Islanders. We are horrified to learn that he is shipped as english editor at 8 dollars a month and his Beef. We hope it's not time. We would sooner see Mariden train him for his own old bi@, and end man at the Tivoli. However, the triangular editorship little Pete, Mac and the white Aryan are to keep on the Holomua for another week - provided Barkie the @@@ get his @@@.
