SUGAR DUTIES.
The last mad scheme in regard
to sugar dados which has found
lavor in the eyes of the Republican
members of the Ways and Cleans
Committee is to admit all foreign
saears below Xo. 1G Dutch stand
ard free, reserving a duty of four- -
tenth of a cent per pound for
higher grades, and . protecting the
present and prospective home producer
by a bounty- - of two cunts a
pound. The small duty on high
grades is intended to secure the
re-iiaa- rs
against the competition of
ioreiga refined sugar. As Willett
& Gray's circular forcibly observes,
sMs wfl! hart no one but the Sand-wie- h
islanders, and the United
States is not legislating just now
for their benefit.
Jbsi what the probabilities as
to the passage of this new tariff
seheme are, no one can tell. It has
one strong point. It is framed to
conciliate all interests at the cost
only of the whole body of taxpayers.
2sbw the whole body of taxpayers
are precisely the persons
whose interests are disregarded
and despised at Washington They
Lave a delegations, no professional
agents, no paid lobbyists,
sad their ehanees with a congressional
committee are correspondingly
sKra. Moreover, what they
pay in bounty they will recover in
the decreased eost of sugar, so that
they are not likely to offer any
load resistance, or any resistance
at all.
The grand difficulty in the way
of the Hoese Committee's new proposals,
is that they are intended to
saddle the eoentry with the bounty
system, contrary to all sound
theory. The Americans however
are despisers of theory, and the
payment of bounties is a meet and
proper thing in the eyes of the
protectionists who happen just now
to control all the branches of the
Government. On the whole it is
oeite impossible to forecast the
result--
What the consequences will be
to tie industry here, if the present
propositions are carried out, it is
hard to say. Tim they will be
very serious, no one doubts. There
is one circumstance from which we
can derive some grains of comfort.
Tie great fall m the price which
wHl follow the removal of the duty
wiR occasion a great increase in
the consumption. This will be followed
of course by an increase in
the demand and a rise in the price.
One eause will therefore operate in
our favor and tend to mitigate the
severity of what might otherwise
prove a ruinous blow. The cons'
x za of sugar in the United
.States will probably be increased
by as much as 600,000 tons, should
the duty be removed.
PATERNAL GOVERNMENT.
The Bulletin thinks that the people
may look too much to and require
too much of the government
in the matter of general improvement
and development an opinion
in which we heartily concur. The
disease of paternalism is becoming
as acute in the United States as it
is in Germany, although it assumes
soother form. It is customary for
everyone who is anxious to make
liis fortcue in America to run to
Washington to seek the aid of a
congressional committee. Xor are
the committees at all backward in
famishing (he desired assistance.
., lifc-- ,. fcJR
Mmss
The proverbial American good nature
comes to the benefit of every
supplicant, and his fate is generally
determined, not by the merits
of the case, or by considerations of
public policy and expediency, but
by the presence or absence of some
rival in the field to dispute his
claims. For instance, the Ways
and lEcaus Committee in fixing the
tariff schedule are guided practically
entirely by the claims of the
delegations of various manufacturing
interests all of whom are anxious
to get the benefit of government
patronaue and assistance in
carrying on their business. The
manufacturers therefore personally
or through their agents at Washington
determine the tariff legislation
of Congress. The conserva
tion of the public depends entirely
on the amount of conflict and opposition
which rival jobs arouse
among rival manufacturers. These
conflicts neuerally inure to the
benefit of the public. " When
thieves fall out honest men come
by their own."
There is no excuse for paternalism
in the United States, where
capital is abundant and business
"enterprise and energy at a maximum.
T'e same thing applies
with even srreater force to this
country, Avhere capital is also aban
dant and where the meaus of the
Government, in striking contrast to
our great neighbor, are relatively
verv limited. The qreat obstacle
which has hindered the flow of
capital into new industries in the
past has been tho lack of confidence
felt bythe community in the purity
and efficiency of the Government.
That obstacle has now happily
been removed, and we believe there
is no serious reason for apprehending
its recurrence. The fact still
remains, however, that capitalists
are unreasonably conservative aud
timid, and unwilling to divert even
a small portion of their great dividends
into new channels of invest
ment and production. Xo one can
forget what circumstances of unparalleled
discouragement and
difficult- - 3Ir. Dillingham had to
face when trying to get his railroad
started. With a few honorable
exceptions, our local capitalists
held aloof. What is true of
the railroad is true of every other
new enterprise and industry. 2sb.
one is willing to undertake anything
without running to the Gov
ernment anu getting it to lurnisn a
good share of the capital and assuming
a considerable proportion
of the risk. It is ridiculous that a
coffee plantation could uot be
started here for want of a few
thousands of dollars from the Government.
The coming Legislature has a
great task before it in further developing
the resources of the country
by costly works of a purely
public nature, such as deepening
the harbor. We want new roads,
public parks, attractions for tour
ists, cable connections and a huu-dre- d
other things which in spite of
the need of them, we can not hope
to obtain for some time to come.
The capitalists of the country should
do their share by forwarding with
tne utmost energy private enterprise,
and not look to the Government
to start industries which they
are amply able to undertake alone.
It is not too much to ask of men
who have grown rich here to re-ga- rd
some part at least of their
wealth as a public trust and to re-
turn it to the country which has
- i i .i i.
.. .
euncueu mem, oy spenumg it m a
way which will benefit that country,
create new industries, widen
its industrial opportunities, and
afford a better and more varied
market for labor. The capitalists
of the nation will not do their duty
by it, until they realize more fully
than most of them at present do,
the responsibilities and obligations
which the possession of wealth
brings with it.
This is a theme to which we have
frequently recurred, and upon
which we shall continue to descant,
though it be to unlistening ears.
TA3MANY HALL.
The ISew York Evening Post of
April 3d is likely to become only
less memorable than the issues of
the Times containing the exposures
which led to the downfall of the
Tweed Bing more than twenty
ye.rs ao. The Post contains a
similar expose of the character of
the so-call-
HAWAIIAN GAZETTE, TUESDAY, MAY 13. 18S0.
"new" Tammany of
to-da- y, an organization which has
been fondly supposed to be purged
of tho gross qualities of its historical
predecessor.
The facts published in the Post
show that Tammany is the same
organization of disreputable politicians,
office holders and office
seekers, liquor sellers, gamblers,
pickpockets, fraudulent contractors,
losvfers, bummers, and even
murderers, that it was win n Tweed
was conducting his gigantic swindling
operations during the war.
The operations for swindliug havo
uot proved so superb during the
last few years as they were during
Tweed's time, hut if New York had
got the World's Fair they might
well have become so, and as it is
some of Tammany's faithful work
ers have risen from the humble
employment like that of a street
car conductor to the proud position
of independent millionaires.
The Post furnishes brief but authentic
and certainly pithy biographies
of the twenty-eigh- t members
of the executive committee of Tammany,
an organization Avhich at
present coutrolls the offices and
governs the city of JNTcw York.
These twenty-eig- ht men are aJl
professional politicians and aspirants
for political favors. The classification
of them furnished by the
Post is as follows. Some of course
fall into more than one category:
Favored city contractors 2, nominal
lawyers 2, lawyer 1, former carpen
ter 1, former navy yard caulker 1,
former plasterer 1, former conductors
3, former office holders 8 office
holders 17, members of the Tweed
Gang G former ''toughs' 4, former
pugilists 3, sons of liquor dealers 2,
former liquor dealers 5, liquor deal-
ers 4, gambling house or "dive"
keepers 5, professional gamblers 4,
indicted for bribery 1, indicted for
felonious assault 1, tried for murder
and acquitted 1, convicted murderer
1, professional politicians 28.
Almost all come from the lowest
strata of the population, a large
percentage are of foreign birth or
extraction. The vast majority are
totally uneducated, and perhaps not
more than four or five can speak or
write English with any correctness.
Some even who hold important
posts of responsibilitj' and trust are
notorious ruffians. The Deputy
Commissioner of Public Works is a
partner in the liquor business with
"Bed" Leary, a notorious burglar,
whose wife "Kate" was an expert
pickpocket. "Bed" Leary, Kate and
"Barney" the Deputy, all lived together
in the same house, so that a
jeweler with premises adjoining felt
compelled to put additional iron
grating on his windows and doors.
With regard to another, John
Scannel, we cite the following ex-traordiuaiy
passage:
His prominence in Tammany
Hall politics is due to the friendship
of " Dick " Croker and "Ed '
Stokes, which he secured under
peculiar circumstances. The three
men were all confined in the Tombs
at the same time 1S74 each
awaiting trial for murder. Croker
was innocent of the crime imputed
to him, but Scannel and Stokes
were both guilty. The last named
was the slayer of "Jim " Fjsk, and
was at one time under sentence of
death for his crime. The friendship
contracted under these extraordinary
circumstances has wielded
a more or less powerful influence
in Tammany Hall ever since.
The Mayor Hugh Grant or
"Hughey" as he is familiarly
known, is the ton of a "liquor
dealer, the ward of a pawnbroker,
and no better than his associates
in Tammany. He cannot speak or
write grammatically, yet he repre
sented Xew York at the late Washington
Centennial, and if the great
exposition were to be held in that
city doubtless he, or another of his
stamp would huve presided in
1892.
Tammany ceased to be a political
organization long before Tweed's
time even. It is now m reality
and if not a criminal
conspiracy, yet at any rate a conspiracy
largely of criminals, whose
sole object is to get possession of
the public treasury for the purpose
of a grand divide among the bojs.'
Unhappily this is not all.
The taint of Tammany is in all politics
in the United States. The
National parties have been
into organizations of the
same characters, for the same ends
paign in 1888, was managed by a
man little better if any, than Tammany's
worst.
When wo can look abroad and
see such a spectacle in other coun-
wo
tries need not despair of our
own. Elder Bush and that
noisy demagogue Bobert Wilcox
are still a shade better than tho
professional blacklegs and ruffians
who carry things with so high a
hand in New York. Moreover there
is the further consolation that while
the roughs havo it their own way
in the empire citj-.Bus-h and Wilcox
havo uot "got there" yet.
COSSIITUTIONAL MATTERS.
We are suffering in this country
from a lack of smoothness in tho
working of our Constitutional system.
There is nothing remarkable
in that. Tho institutions aro now
in a double sense. They are untried
here, and they present a combination
not known elsewhere. Mr.
Brice in his famous book on America
calls attention to our frame of
government as presenting a new
combination of features derived
from England and America.
Why would it not be a good plan
io nave tne legislature elect a
Premier who would then proceed
to form n, Cabinet. The advantage
of this plan would bo that it would
insure pretty effectually the harmony
and unity of Cabinet action
which is necessary to the success
ful working of the system. Of
course it would still be possible for
an unprincipled demagogue to set
at naught the will of his colleagues,
and "play it alone." but such a contingency
would certainly be much
less likely to happen than at present.
Probably it would require a constitutional
amendment to make the
change in the form proposed. But
the same thing might be accomplished
perhaps in another way.
The Legislature might designate by
a vote the person whom they wish
to form a ministry. Such a vote
would not of itself make the person
so designated a minister. But tho
King would probably make the
appointment in accordance with
the expressed will of the Legislature.
He would probably be bound
to do so, because although the con-
stitution requires by intendment
the King to govern with such a
Cabinet only as the majority of the
Legislature approve.
The effect of all constitutional
provisions making the tenure of
office of a ministry dependent upon
a vote of confidence, is virtually to
vest the appointment of ministers
in the Legislature. It is so in England
and by analogy should be held
so here. "What Ave suggest is sim
ply making a definite fact out of a
matter of legal intendment, and by
so doing contribute to the harmony
and smoothness of constitutional
arrangements. Struggles
between the different branches of
government are deplorable enough
even when each confines itself
within the bounds prescribed to it
by law. When these are overstepped
the situation becomes in
tolerable and we find ourselves in
a state of revolution.
