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) , tv-Hove l:j know ti-»n, iu<l-•>! r>f • t\ r.f h.o olH'fi!. 1- lif * vvtof> bell 1 : ill publi gold stamtinl Is Ste — InAe geld olitktil f ««-- ■l stand ml Is best j , h- I mi.it ites. ’I'll,- people she •*. not allow •ms.-Ives ti be <1. <'••■ J'x! by vi dunr us,- ..r rho'se , i>\c that bi- *■ 111 Mil ci'.nv srs ill -Ilk- 1 iso of both ’.'Is, "ml D'.i m-r.-ljr" 1 liws oil the lute book pi-niilti.ui/ he use "f ■in und'T c"iidItl<mP xf ’ make tlu-ir the offer.

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.
