A DANGEROUS POLICY.
our op'nlon, csn <yytir ttnn the forcing
of an Issue—not a political one, In es
sence—upon which (there is a profound
difference of opinion among Democrats,
and Sue uhuklug of It a ami of party
loyally.
HISTORY OP HAWAII.
The Augusta Chronicle Says:
"Because a national convention takes
one ‘position In 1891 Is not absolute evi
dence that It may not change in 1896.
Perhaps the minority of 1802, who bowed
to the will of the majority, then, may be
In the majority In 1806. Of course It would
then be the party duty of the old major
ity to take their turn at yielding to the
will of the majority and behaving them
selves as a roputahle minority should.
This Is party politics, and we have been
greatly surprised at •the- Macon Tele
graph, a staunch champion of the organ
ised Democracy for many years, for sug
gesting that gold-standard Domocmta
who were In the majority at the last con
vention, and carried their point In the
platform, would not be bound by the plat
form should the next convention declare
for the tree coinage of silver.”
This occurs In the oouree of an arti
cle Intended to show that Ithe fades of
the-political situation aro the sstne
now aa In 1802, and that jf the efforts
of the extreme free silver men to cap
ture tho convention next year are suc
cessful, stand money Democrats 14111)
be bound, to rote for the free oolnngo
of silver at the rsltlo of 18 to 1. The
chief fault of the argument lies In the
Chronicle's failure to see iihat tho con
ditions which existed In 1892 are not
the conditions which exist now.
In the first place, then the chief tamo
was She tariff. The people of tho coun
try were asked -to divide upon the Mc
Kinley law. Every other Issue was
quite safoordlnaito.
In tho second place, according to the
showing made by the Chronicle and Its
sympathizers In the present attempt to
capture tho Democratic organization
by the aid of Populists and Itcpruibll
cans who believe In cheap money, She
Democratic convention of 1802 careful
ly avoided it division on the silver Is
sue. That ‘.t did so Is Shown l>y iho
Interpretation .put upon the platform
liy the Chronicle and tho Atlanta Con
stltutlon. The Chnoalclc admits that
In '(halt platform there Is no promise
of free oolnsge on the terms demanded
by tho stiver men, or on any terim ac
ceptable to them. Even In ihe brief
extract we quote 1(19 position Is taken
that In that convention the opponents
of ffeo coinage had a majority and ex
pressed their views tn the platform. On
the other hand, the Atlauln Consdlu
tlon contends shot In that platform is
the promise of everything tho silver
men want. It denounces as traitors
to the party and the country those
who put upon the platform the same
Interpretation that the Chronicle does
and are sat Mini with U as a declara
tion of party policy.
YVheo the two leading silver pipers
of Georgia differ to this extent In their
interpretation of tho platform, It Is
perfectly certain that the convention
of 1892 did not roiko silver nn I sous
in the campaign at that year. Accord
ing eo their showing. Democrats were
left perfectly free to think what they
phased of the silver question, while
they voted together sgalnat the McKin
ley law.
The other day, In backing up the pro-
nunolumonto of the silver men Issued
from Washington, tho Atlanta Consti
tution called upon all who hail left tho
organization "to lose no .time In
turning to tho Democratic party, so
that they may join forces with the
genuine Democrats and redeem them-
•eives and their coontry.” Tho Ohron-
Icte, working In the same cause, has
suddenly became friendly and compll
mentsry to ,Mr. Watson. The situation,
therefore, is shoot this: The stiver
men demand that sn insole which they
admit the con reunion of 1892 evaded
snail next year be the only fasuo tn
the campaign; they ask deserters whose
party loyalty could not stand the strain
of « difference of opinion with the par
ty on that question to oomo back in:o
the ranks taml help than capture the
organization; and that they expect that
Democrats who see noth'-ng bat over
whelming disaster in Independent free
coinage to faithfully vote the parry
ticket when Independent free coinage
I* the chief lame in the campaign,
though the men who Impose^ the free
coinage platform on the party were un
willing to do so when It was lut sn
lasne tn the campaign at all.
We do not hesitate to sty that they
expect entirely too much. Here In tho
South, became of peculiar circum
stances, the party might hot be badly
split. It weald merely k>se, tn all
probability, the moral support of
large proportion of the Intelligent white
population; but In other aeottins the
■Air. Thomas G. Shearman, who Is
one of tho best informed and beet
known mm tn the country, and him
self a Congrogntlanalist, made an ad
dress In Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
a fow days ago, In which he dealt with
the recent history of itho Hawaiian
Islands in a manner tflxa't must have
made the ears of some of ills bearers
tingle. Skdtchlng the history of tho
Islands up to the time of the recent rev
olution, he said;
"Beventy years ago the American
hoard of foreign missions sent a few
Congregational ministers to the Sandwich
Islands, who were received hy the people
with enthusiasm. They did not really
have to convert tho people, for they were
all ready for conversion.
"The chiefs and the people threw amy
their ldola and embraced Christianity
with all loeir hearts. So complete was
their trust In the missionaries that, prac
tically, all government wan placed under
missionary control, and tho missionaries
and their eons or nephews had ever since
had the practical government of the
Islands. What had been the result?
"They found 130,000 people there, and
now they report that there are only 34,-
000. But of these 31,000 they recently re
ported that 18,000 were members of the
Congregational churches—a larger pro
portion .of church members than can be
sound in any other Protestant country
In the world The missionaries boasted
that those natives were better educated,
better behaved and more peaceable, or-
drly and religious, In proportion to thslr
numbers, than the people of many parts
of the United States.
The triumph of religion, and especially
Congregationalism, In Hawaii was
made the subject of endless boasts by
missionaries and managers of missions,
and was made the ground of appeals to
American Christians for fresh subscrip
tions and aid for missionary work.
"Suddenly their whole tone changed.
The missionaries' sons and some returned
missionaries Vehemently asserted that
na-tlve Hawatlans were filthy and Ignor
ant and a debased, licentious and Idols-
traus race, utterly unfitted to be trusted
with liberty, but must bo kept under the
control of a firm and unscrupulous, but
pious. Congregational despotism.
"Assuming this to be true, then the re
sult of between fifty and sixty years'
unbroken missionary government In these
Islands has been that the population has
been reduced In numbers by three-quar
ters and that these three-quarters are as
debased, licentious and brutal as they
were when the missionaries began their
labors, and that the whole missionary
enterprise has been a disgraceful failure.
"Meanwhile there are some other facts,
which th« missionaries do not mention,
but which cannot he disputed. During
the fifty years tbs government of these
Islands was under missionary lnPucnce
most of the natives were deprived ot
their rights In the land, excepting about
27,000 achef; anfi all the rest was divided
among the king, the chiefs and the fami
lies and friends of ths mini marl if.
"The missionaries' sons and their as
sociates boast that they own four-fifths
of all the property of the Islands. Nearly
nil Ihe rest Is owned by the descendants
of the former chiefs The great mass of
the people own nothing. The missionary
government, nndlng that ths native*
would not work for less than S cents a
day, complained of the want of labor, and
Instated on ths Importation of scares of
thousands of the scum of ths human
race, Including Chinese and whet are
called Portuguese, a mongrel race, who
never aaw Portugal, but who speak some
thing resembling the language of that
country.
'In thin manner the missionaries' sons
cut down the wages of ths native Ha
waiian!, and compelled them to work on
thilr sugar plantations at such rates aa
seemed good to thslr masters.
'Before the missionaries gained control
of the Islands leprosy was unknown. But
with the Introduction of strange races,
leprosy establtfched Itself and rapidly In
creased."
It may be doubt til whether anywhere
lit the world, at any time, men who
undertook a religious tulwtlon have
made for themselves andh an Infamous
record. They went to the (HaiwaUons
aa their friends. They were received
as friends and aocepted as religious
gulden and political advisers. The re
sult Is that after fifty years they own
everything in the Mind worth having
and threodouriha of the native popula
tion has disappeared. Moreover, by
their own accounts, the one-fourth lift
consists at panple so degraded, so ig
norant, so corrupt tn their morels that
they cannot be allowed n voice (n the
governtneot of their country. Was
there over anywhere such a failure of
missionary effort or such a success In
gratifying the greed of advonturera)

THE PRICE OF COTTON.
7'h - New Orleans Picayune believes
that the price of cotton has reached
its lowest point land Is sure to rise.
"Notwithstanding the Immense weigh':
cotton tvriXch has been mar
keted this season,” It says,
"there Is no surplus remaining
In tho country. On the con
trary,, tho stocks are actually smaller
than usual at this season of itho year
In first hands, while Eastern spinners
aro known to hold much lighter sup
plies than !s common. Reports come
from Manchester to the effect that
there has been a very good business
there, and that the prospect for au act
ive movement as soon as the war tn
the Orient is over Is excellent Not
withstanding these fleets, Lancashire
spinners hold no large surplus stocks,
and probably have not sufficient to
cover their orders."
These Btattements may bo entirely
true, and grill the price of aottoa will
xntnaln nosp trKj* J* XSOTT if
farmers give the world reason to ex
pect another largo crop. The prospect
of a smlaiu or a moderate crop will not
ea.use the price ito rise very much until
there Is sn actual demand for cotton
that cannot be supplied. Our fanners
have taught the world to expect a sn
perantoundant supply. The acreage of
the new crop ought to be at le-ast 25
per cent, less then that of the old.
