The United States cannot escape n-
ponslblllty In Hawaii. (The duty may
be faced bravely and the necessary re
latlonship maintained In honorable and
manly fashion, or It may be met with
cowardice and every act made to re
veal a government trying to escape the
problems which It is called upon to
solve. The Intercourse may be such
as to give us pride or bring us shame.
But the Intercouse, either for good or
for evil, wlU go on Just tho same. Civl
llted nations, like civilised men, can
not escape from- one another. Hawaii
is bound to the United States by indls-
sollublo ties. Commercial relationships,
treaty pledges, bonds of blood, military
necessity, and diplomatic complications,
make the severance of communication
impossible. The "cold cut" is not avail
' able for nations who would shuffle off
their friends or their dependents. Ha
waii cannot do without the United
States, and American predominance In
the Islands is something which cannot
wlsjly or patriotically be sacrificed by
this government The little republic
may be annexed or It may remain Inde
pendent, but whatever its status It
will look to America as a child looks to
a parent, and we can no more with
honor get rid of that responsibility
than the parent can. He may And the
child very troublesome, but he keeps an
eye on It, nevertheless. A cable whicfh
Shall always be under ths control of the
United States Is desirable, entirely
apart from all questions of national
extension and aggrandisement. It
demanded by established American
trade Interests and by political and
diplomatic obligations which cannot be
'escaped, however much we might wish
It, without the total surrender of digni
ty and the frank confession that our
Ideal of national bliss Is a nunnery In
which we can live apart from all the
world. We are hardily yet prepared
for a new series of Non-Intercourse
act. Tho American tonnage at Hono
lulu Is 146,993 tons, being larger than
that of any other foreign port except
Southampton and Yokohama. The to
tal American tonnage to Hawaii Is
181,817 tons, while that of Great Britain
is 111,655 tons. The Paclflo Is one of
the places where the United States has
managed to preserve Its shipping. The
Canadian lines are competing more and
more, and the enly way to keep our
supremacy Is to make ourselves Ha
wall's nearest neighbor. As Senator
Hlggtna In his speech of Wednesday
said: "Bohtnd a cable from San Fran
Cisco to Honolulu rest American Inter
ests. Behind a cable from Vancouver
by way of Honolulu to Australia are
British Interests."
The correspondence between our gov1
eminent and that of Germany, retatlv
to the discriminating duty on sugar,
which was recently sent to the senate
tn response to a resolution requesting It,
discloses the fact that there exists In
Germany a feolln that this country
acted in bad faith In Imposing a duty
on German sugar after having obtained
concessions from that country on the
understanding that Its sugar should be
exemped from duty. The German am
bbasador, In a communication to the
state department, said that "the ex
citement which prevails In German ag
ricultural and manufacturing circles on
account of this inequitable treatment of
a German production Is the more vehe
ment and the lees easily resisted lnas
much as It Is generally believed that
the United States, in the agreement of
August 22, 1S91, guaranteed exemptlo
to Germany from the duty on sugar, In
return for the conversion of the couven
tlrnial duties on American agricultural
products, and the removal of the re
strictions on (he Importations of swine,
This was written while the tariff bill

The last Democratic president, Mr.
Buchanan, was not able to place a (
per cent bond of the United States.
After all the losses of the great civil
war the nation under Republican laws
paid off Its debt so steadily that obli
gations of the United States could have
been placed two years ago at 2 1-2 per
cent. General prosperity was the basis.
A nation adding $1,200,000,000 every year
to Its wealth may very well borrow
money at 2 1-2 per cent, while the same
nation, If it is adding nothing to Its
wealth, may borrow with difficulty at
J 3-4 per cent., It is altogether too
much the fashion at Washington to
Ignore the condition of the people, and
to think only of the concise pharseology
of the bond. Exactly the same bond
wblch Secretary Foster coutd have
placed two years ago at 2 1-2 per cent,
Secretary Carlisle Is now glad to place
at a rate just 60 per cent higher.
