Oct. 22.—Adviees from Dublin’ con- firon what everybody bere sees—thut the Land deague made a fatal mistake when it proclaimed a general strike against rents. If the learue, after Parnell's arrest, bud continued to work on the old lines, the Government would have had a‘ -hard task to put. it down. But the moment it Issued its “No-Rent” manifesto, it alienated its mast powertul friends in Ireland, not the least among them being Archbishop Croke, und gave the Government a sound and valid exeuse for pro- claiming it as au illegal organization. Irish triends. of mine, who are in position to know the opinions of the moderate wing of the league, Fay the anti-rent decree wus inspired by te Irich-American organization. It is comppra- tively easy. for Patrick Ford'and P. A. Collins to cable absurd dispatches urgmr the Irish - People to set the faw at deilunce and achieve their. iadependence by robbing the landlord. Hut these gentiemen forget that ali Irishmen are not Sociulisis nor madmen, and that neither ‘the well-to-do tenant nor priest wil! countenance arising (for that is what u rent-strike would practically te). That could oniy end an A LOERKIGLE SaciinigE OF HUMAN LIFE and in the destruction of the agrarian move- meat. Unfortunately for the league, its not- Leaded leaders yielded to the advice of the Irish-American © faction, and. the result is that the clersy, with few exceptions, fre now arrayed on the side of - tho Executive, and that the sympathy of the ad- vaneed Radicals in England and of.all Europe, outside the fitue cofonies of Irreconcilables at Perisand Geneva, has been lost. It is now quite clear, moreover, that -Mr. Parnell: was tho league. . When “be “was cast into prison, the whole fubric collapsed.

IT 15 THE OLD, OLD story of Irish nations! movements—much rhetoric nd pretension, and then a cabbage-gurden- The tenants, whe, under better gereralshp, would probably have stoud their ground, are sdandoning the struggle and preparing to take advantage of the Lund act. In Ulster 200 appli- cations for a reduction or rent have been filed ‘bys tenants on the estates owned by the Irish Society of London, 2 body comprising the Weaithiest of the Lundon guilds. The so- Lest cases submitted by the league, in which Mr. Healy, who prepured them, usks with charac- teristic cvolness for a reduction of about 80 per ‘cent, in the rent of lands: now vaying less than Griflith’s valuation, are a long «ay down on the docket, and will not be redcbed Yor six tkontbs.. One of the cases in which juds- mient will be viven next week is that of West vs. Parnell, an application by 5 EF “A TENANT ON MR. PARNELI?S PROPERTY, at Mount Avon, County Wicklow, for relief from 2 covenant which he alleges he was in- duced by Mr. Parnell to enter into, and by Which he cuntracted himsell out of the advan- tages of the Land act of 1870. The indenture was drawn upand signed last year, and it is worthy of note that Mr. James O'Kelly, the member for Roscommon, attested “the: signatures/to_ tho document, which, it is alleged, does not say much for Mr. Parnell's respect for the rizhts of ten- xots or the doctrines he bas preached to tenants holdiug under other landiords.

The feeling against Mr. Gladstone grows stronzer. If the league is now ain illegal urganization, it wasan tegal or- ganization a year ago, when “boycotting. be- gun, and the Premier ought to have. suopressed it then, before it had brought anarchy upon the couutry, and ruin upon many helpless land- jords. If zs : MR. PARNELL NOW DESERVES IMPRsON-- be deserved it two years ago when Mr, Glad- stone was fcciting him on in order to em- barrass Lord” Beaconsfield.. The excuses put forward for the Government by the Ministerial ‘press are of tho . gauziest kind, and if the Tories were well led in the House the Ministry, big as its nominal majority is, would undoubtedly be beaten neat session.. The extreme Radivals, who are seldom at a loss for an excuse ior Mr. Gladstone, are ashamed of the ° Bastille pulicy, and Mr. Joseph Cawen is using the Premier's oid speecht .en King Bomba’s treafinent of political prisoners with great ef- fect. The Premier isa master of casulstry, but he cannot reconcile : INS APPROVAL OF THE LEAGUE PROGRAM with'tho imprisonment of Parnell, or show cuuse for having allowed the reign of Parnell, or show cause for having allowed the reign of ‘terror to exist 6o long. .The passage in Mr. Gladstone's speech at the Guildhall. in which he said be should like to see minor Irish business trans- acted at Dublin instead of London, if that could be done . without - endangering _ the union, has revived the discussivn on tho brenk- down of tho machinery of Parliament, The present Speaker, like his predecessor, Mr. Evelyn Denison, afterwards Lord Ogsingon Favars, re- vives a scheme for transfering the vast mass of private Bill business which now chokes the nop- pers every. session to the jurisdiction either of a special tribunal composed of Commissioners appointed by Parliament or of-the municipai corporations, whuse powers could be extended for that purpose. A REFORM GF SOME SORT is absolutely necessary. Parliament is notonly burdened, but owing to the delays caused by the crush of business the cost of private-bill legis- tution is out of all reason. Sir Thomas Brasaey’s futher, ‘the eminent. contractor, built a railway ‘from’ Turin to the Alps for less than it cost to get the Great North- ern Ratnway bill through Parliament. The s Heitors’ bill for the Southeastern ameunted to nearly £250,000. In the cuse of bills relating to municipal corporations, the expenses aré quite appaliing. and even the fastidious gentlemait bo asks Parliament to change his name from Smith to Kobinson, or who is compelled to cbange it in order to secure 2 legacy, bas to bieed profusely. Ireland and Scotland are, of course. worse off in this respect than England, owing to their distance from London and the enormous cost entailed by bringing witnesses here ang keeping them, say, at the Langbam for six months. THE SYSTEM 15 ALSO OPEN TO ANUSE. Forexample: When the Dubtin corporation was seelting a bill some years ago to enable it to con- Struct the’ Vartry Matter-Wor a firm of English contractors held counsel, and, under cover of 9 private © interest, fought the bill at every stage, simply because they bad been’ refused’ the contract. Io measures of that kind innumerabio pri- vate interests are of course affected, and hostilities can be prolonged in detinitly, “Mr. Gladstone is evidently inclined to muke some chunge by which tho Hlouse can be relieved of this private business, but it is not hkely that be will bring down a scheme next session. He has othor fish to fry. A CALM Special Cable. Dusttx, Oct, 22.—The Herald spGial says: After a week of unusual excitement, “the coun- try 1g ns tranquil as ever. ~ Dispatches from the United States indicate that America would. not be surprised to hear of civil war or risingsin this country. If there fs oue thing more than another that these dispatebes have tried to impress, it is the absurdity. of the ides of any overt hos- tile act. ~The country was never jess pre- pared, tho people never in a mood further removed from, this inclination. . In fact, tho ‘peaceable manner In which the blows at the popular ‘leaders and the popular cause bave been received is 2 sur- prise to every observer. The recent actsof the rowdies. ana street-boys of Dublin ghould not be dignified by the the name of riot. There NEVER WAS THE SEMBLANCE OF. A. RIOT, nor has there been the slightest violent outbreak in Ireland in consequence of the arrests or the suppression of the league. People in America may rest assured that there “is not the slightest dunger of any uprising in Dublin or anywhero else. The excitement bus been about such as would be caused by a hdty- cuntested clecnon, uothing more, The first thoughts of the public after the arrests were sympathetic. But the *No-Rent™ manifesto bas withdrawn from the cause many sympathizers. Its fulse friends are deserting the sinking ship. “The Land League is down, let us give it a parting kick.” is what many members of Parlia- ment, time-servers, and puliticlans.are suying, who bung on to its ranks “in the time of power: ARCHBISHOP CROKE’S LETTER cuts the lexsue more than anything else.

POWER OF AN ARCHBISHOP. At the Inst meeting of the Central Leazue on Tuesday, the Rev. Michael Keane, D. D., a Dub- lin'privst, was’ proposed for membership, amid deafenme applause, he being a clergyman ia the diocese of Archbishop McCabe, over whom tho incident was considered a victory. Early next morning Mr. Keane ‘was sum- moned. to the Archbishop's resi- dence, where be was peremptorily gives the choice between- publicly withdrawing and apologizing for his indiscretion and disobedience or submitting to suspension... He declined to apologize tublicly, and was suspended on the spot, ex informa consciona, by the Archbishop, under the powers conferred by the Council of Trent, the disgraced priest being not even: al- lowed to say mass, ; M BIGGAR AND HEALY arrived in Paris this evening, and are staying at the Hotel de Normandi. TOO MUCH FON. Within a wees the Government will separate the leagures now in Kilmainhum. Those now there really form « very pleasant club. ‘The prisoners iu Kilmainbam are not harshly treated. ‘They bave cumfortable, clean rooms, with easy chuirs, books, and the Dublin newspapers. They cun’ smoke, and bave cach six hours of mutual. ‘intercourse. They can bave food sent. Their imprisonment would be a farce if they gould meet und through a soileitor or doc- tor communieste directions to those without, or explain their political views to every visitor for publication. When the Government found that communications were going out, culminating in the issue of. the manifesto with the prisoners’ signature, itwas thought necessary to udopt severe rules. The Government are now con- templating. the distribution of prisoners form- ing the Executive of the fenyue among other irish jails. Coneiderutle delay in the trans- mission of telerrams tram . Dublin this week was caused by the supervision exercised by the officials. whu are carefully examining every dis- patch for the information and use of the Gov- ernment, The police’ are ridiculed for the escape of MR. ANTHOGR 0’cONNOK. But the fact is that the detectives knew his every movement, and were instructed not to try, very hard to catch him, because, a certain ofti- cial said, “He sold bis Government once. and may sell his friends nexttime.” This refers to Mr. O'Connor’s record, when a clerk in the Navy Department. : ' THE DUKE OF TECK’S SUDDEN DEPARTUI from Dublin, the day before Mr. Parneil's ar- rest, was the result of the Queen's special com- mand. He did not kuow the reason, or it is sut- imised be would nut bave obeyed, as he is a munly, independent fellow. — * ONE ACT OF ‘THE AGITATORS © during the present'crisis entitles them to credit. In the case of the arrest of Messrs..O"Kelly and Dillon,’. either could have. been rescued by .the crowd if-the’ prisoners had given the | least: encouragement. When = Mr O'Kelly was taken. to the cab, in front of the Imperial Hotel, 6u0 or 700 people surrounded Superintendent Mailon, cheering the agitator. One word from Mr. O'Kelly would have gesulted in his rescue, but he begged the people to withdraw, which they did immedi- ately. « . ‘THE SAD INCIDENT OF THE WEEK was the sudden death of the daughter of Mr. T. D: Sulfivan ata con¥ent school in Belgium on Monduy last.. The bereaved father was un- able to go to the convent to attend the funcral, because be fenred that his departure would bo tuken for’ a tlight. While the Government is dealing blows at the teaguc THE LANDLORDS “are uniting, The Orange Emergency Committee and the Landlords’ Protective Association have joined, and are prosecuting thetggrark with re- newed vigor. Mr. Purnell said, ih an mterview with a priest on Tuesday: “If the priests of Ireland do not go to juil in this struggle, they have. not done their duty.” Speaking to a Fenian yesterday, f asked if his party con- templated uny mischief. He replied: “Do you think we are fools cnough to make trouble with 36,000 troops in the country? Wait. til they gu.” A. M, SULLIVAN. No one can accuse Mr. A. M. Sullivan, member of Parliament for Louth, with not beng an Irishman and a Home-Ruter, and, as hesnid yes- terday, up to 2 snort time ago, a Land-Leaguer. His opinions, which were published here tols morning. and some of which 1 cabled you at an early hour, have hud un etfect only second to Atchbisbop Croke’s denunciution of the * No- Rent": manifesto. The foterview concluded with the fullowing words: * Everything belong- ing to the lengue conspirators might or might not effer evidence of the critne, In this sense, andin this sense nlune, has the. Government, at the present moment, any legal power or authority to break into or seize or put A stop to any news- paper. The Coercion act of last sping ives them no power to make any seizure. They mas, er, indirectly accomplish their purpose by ton suspicion, under the act, every man from week to week w hom .they delieve con- nected with the paper, until its production be- comes a physical impossibility.” MIL SULLIVAN IS THE ONLY TIVE of the advanced Irish party in London. today, Mr.Justin McCarthy being in Vienna and Sir Gavan Duffy somewhere on the Continent. Be-. lieving tnat Mr. Sullivan's view of the present aspect of utfairs in Ireland would be of. especial Interest, I decided to ye Mr. Sullivan personally, and was fortunate in tinding him home late thisevening. After some hesituncy, the honorable. gentleman consented to speak on the subject. Before doing su he said: “2 consider myself very much out of the political arena ut the present mo- ment, having decided to retire from active polities, at ullevents tor some time, und have expressed myself reluctant to discuss the pres- ent political situanon in.

Suilivan—There is little question that the work of the organization will, despite wnat any man may wish or say, be carried on very largely throughout Irelund by secret orfunization. THE FEELING OF THE COUNTRY is too intense, tuo much aroused. The question at issue Is tov real, too terribié to think that the land movement can subside ina night, because fn printed paper with the lion and-tho unicorn, at its head aud Mr. Forster's nme at ite foot declares the leazue to be procluimed. The thing is prepusterous. Tne movement will go on, but, unfortunately, instead of going on henceforth on an open public plat- form, where every one can sectho mensure of eood and ill, the wisdom or mischief of What is said or done, the people will now be driven into secretconcluves, the nature of which is nurd to foresee. Correspendent—Do you know from. whom emanated the * No-Rent" proclamation? Mr. Sullivan—That is a great mystery which is just now perplexing the Privy Council at Dublin Castle. I posséss no absolute knowledge on the subject, but I- have reason to think that the document never .was formally sdopt- ed by any regularly-convencd mecting of. the Executive. | rather think it expresses only the views of some of. the members of tho Ex- ecutive who. however, ure the men who hive always succeeded in impressing their own in- dividual desires upon tho action of that body. Correspondent—It is said that Messrs. Dillon, O'Kelly, and Biggar opposed the manifesto. Mr. Sullivan=I' know by more thin hearsay. that it was opposed, and strongly opposed. Correspondest—An Irish-American claims to buve suggested it. Mr. Sullivan—Tho trish paper you mention has for years pust preached that no rent should be paid, and that lone avo there should bave been a stop to'the payment of rent. But the Land-League platform was, that, while. “they would go for the abolition of Irish lindlordism, ittwus to be abolished by buying out the land- lords on fair and equitable terms. ‘Tis, how- ever, 2 large section of the Land League re- pudinted, und the Land League in Dublin was always placed BETWEEN TWO FIRES. The American branches, which supplied most of the money,demanded a line of action quite dilfer- entfrom what the branches ut home would listen to,and Mr, Parnell exhibited must murvelous skill in holding these two irreconcilable sections together up to the presenttime Correspondent—It has been said thnt Mr. Par- nell got rid of this agitation.

ENGLISU NEWS. UBOTUERING THE PRINCES. Speelat Cable, Loxnos, Oct. Smalley’s special says: Goldwin Smith's churze against the Royal, Family for not utilizing their opportunities for promoting great useful works bas been grace- fully referred to by the Prince of Wales. at Swanscu. ©. ore singular. still was an otticious-looking rejoinder in the Times, which fs popularly believed to have been inspired ‘by the Queen. Royalty is. industrious envugh in Great Britain, but much more could bedone in Ireland: Anotnerunusual interposition of Royalty in gpputar topics was the Princess of ‘Wales’ refusal to patronize tho ladies’ movement: tower only British goods. The movement Is really in offshoot of the fair tride_ agitation. ‘The Princess’ reply was dictated in high ollicial quarters. In connection with this subject the interesting fact, well-known in journalisin, is recalled,’ that Queen Victoria once wrote a leader in the Times, : TIE SALUTING OF THE BRITISH FLAG at Yorktown ereates'n deep feeling of grateful sympathy. Every Englishman cordially echocs the sentiment of President Arthur's procluma- tion. Englishmen .bave naturally watched the centennial celebrations, and buve been struck by the tact with which Americans bave avoided offense, and the good taste and beartiness of their allusions to the mother country. American sympnthy is peculiarly ac- ceptable’ at the present crisis. It is significant that any attempt in Irish quarters to excite in- ternational difficulties, us in previous agituauus, is considered hopel A SOKE BLOW TO THE FAIR-TRADE MOVE- 2 MENT. Sir Stafford Northcote intlicted a sore blow upon the fair-trady movement when he declared himself opposed to the proposition of Mr. Low ther, Lord Randoiph Churchill, Mr. Ashmend Bartlett, and ‘the Bexcounstteid Club for the revival of. tha corn tax and a return to the old methods of _ protec- ion. This has thrown the movement into some confusion. Sul the artisans In the North are clumorous for retaliation, and Sir. Statford was wise enough not to commit bimselt agninst at least attempting to force foreign na- dons to lower their taritfs. The Bowrd of Trade returns ure somewhat encouraging, but the fact that erent depression exists at centres like Bradford, Leeds, Shetticld, and Birmingham fs undeniable, waile THE CONDITION OF TNE FARMERS 1S SIMPLY DEPLOLALLE. 2 The newspapers ure devoting much of their space to the land question. Sume currespond- euts recommend high farming, sucn as the Inte Mr. Mechi, of razor-strop _ fyme, earricd on for-.many years at Tiptree farm. But, as that experiment ruincd him, there is nut much to be sald in favor of its gen- eral adoption. Sir Stafford Northcote and the Tories generally sny the best they cando for the furmer is.to relieve bin to sume extent of- the burden of ven! taxation, which is now very unequally distributed, the farmer paying so much on the pound on the rated vatue of bis farm, while the tradesman who makes twice or threc tines ug much pays on the rated vulue of his shop only. Sir Stafford also favors a simplification of the process of TNE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY. Indeed, Lord Carns hed drawn a bill on the sub- Jeet just before the Beaconsfield Ministry fell. Under the present cumbrous and antiquated system of transfer it often. happens in cuses. where trustees bave to be hrougnt from: abroud ‘or where the renl- property lawyers get bold of an estate tied up in such ‘a knot, that. wholesale recourse must be. had to chancery, that the. costs of transfer amount to30 per cent of the: purchase money. But the Tory platturur is altogether too small to suit popular demands. The notion bus got nbroad thut THE LAND MONOPOLIES are ag much responsible tur the decay of agri- cultureas American competition or the absence of the sun. ‘fhe Irish Land uct bas impreg- nated the English farmer with the idea that fund {s- not private property, but n public trust, and the great = strugele in which Whigs and Tories will unite agaist Rad- ical:sm for the defense of vested interests is at hund, Mr. Gludstone, as is bis wont, has spoken vaguely on this subject, and although be declared at. Leeds that the princi- ples of the Irish Land act were only upplicaole to Ireland, he left it to be under- stood that if the farmers and agricultural labor- ers, who will probubly be eyfranchised next session, insist oo confiscation, the “ people's William" will be found ready for the work. Persons near bim say that te is anxious to cluse his career with a great measure of lund re- fort, and his pust record shows thut he will not. bulk attrifies in trying to keep up with the mureb of Radicalism.

Fernandez and the City Council were the most impressive ever held in Mexico, The attendance was ex- tremely large. Hummekin Mexia, representing the city, suid: “The City of Mexico lays a crown of laurels on the tomb of‘ virtuous citizen, sol- @ier, and statesman, Jumes A. Garfleld, and ex- presses its profound sympathy tur his widow and orphans.” ‘The law passed -by the Mexican Congress on the 4th of last August requiring merchunts to pay a tax of one-bulf of 1. per cent on ull their sules, the payment to be made monthly on a sworn statement of the aggregate amount of sales made in the month, hus been repeated by tho present Congress and a substitute offered. ‘The substitute meets with even more opposition than the repealed law, ns it enucts Inat a one-cent stump shall be affixed on allspackages of goods suld for every 25 cents’ worth of merchandise contained, and that heavy penalties shall be in~ curred for every invasion of the act. “The mer- cbants contend that this law would not only prove unjust, but that it would prove highly oneruus to the commerce of the large towns, x3 it could therein be collected by a system of im- pertinent esplonage, while in the rural districts itcould not be enforced at all. But the Con- gress Is determined to enforce some sort of an jmpost upon merchants, and if the present sub- ¢ stitute fails another will undoubtedly be prssed. THE BOPY OF GEN. MARIANO ARISTO, one ot Mexico's ex-Presidents, has been brought from Portugal, and it has been buried with much pomp and ceremony in the city. Congress decreed three days of mourning as a tribute to the dead, und the entire standing army of the city was mustered out to do escort duty beside the bier. Gen. Aristo served witb distinction ugaiost the armies of tho United States in 1847, and, in 1851, was elected Constitutional Presi- dent of Mexico. Because of the prevalence of insurrections in the country during his Adinin- istration, he concluded that bis Government was unpopular, resigned the Presidency, and re- ured to private life on his hacienda, near San Martin. A few years later he went to’Europe, and died in destitution at Lisbon. Gen. Aristo'’s ‘Administration. was characterized by great re- formis in the military and financial departments of the Government, RAILWAYS.

THE PEOPLE OF THE:PACIFIC COAST BLUN: i <7 DERED. |. ae Special Distateh to The Chicago Trikune... SAN Francisco, Cal. Oct. 22.—Tho Chronicle of this city bas for several days past been print- ing articles ‘showing up the infamous’ contract |, system now in vogue. on the Sandwich Islands. ‘Tomorrow it will follow up its exposure with a description of the workings of the so-culled rec- fprocity treats. The following ed:toriat em- braces the sallent points of the opposition to the treaty, “The present lnbor system on tho Sandwich Islands hus been superinduced by the so-called ‘ reciprucity’ treaty,’ and any dis- cussion of the former is necessarily a consider- ation of the’ latter. The nature and extent of the commercial trausictions _ between this country and tne islands ~ since the adoption. of the . treaty. can be ascertained by one who will take the trouble to inquire at. the custom-house of San Fraa- elsco, und there we learn that during last year about 60,000,000 pounds (10.000 tons) of sugnr were received at this port from the Hawatian “Islunds., THE DUTY UPON THIS SUGAR, one year’s crop, would, if | collected, . have amounted to $2,500,000. There were also re-_ ceived, during the same period, ang from the game place, a large quantity of rive, duty free. All the rice’ produced on these islands ig produced by ‘the Chinese, ‘and | those having relations, with the. islands know that every pound of rice is Gunsumed by the Chinese on the isiands—thes number at. present -ubout 8,000—is Imported from China. In other words, these frusu! peupte export ull che rice they crow on the Huawalian Is!ands because, under tho treaty, It enters here duty free, and they Import from Chinn all the rice they eat, because the duty imposed by the Hawniiun Government upon rice is very small, und in this way the * Henthen Cainee’ beats the Government out of. the duty upon all.of the rice grown upon the islund. Mow much of THE CIINESE RICE gets mixed up with the Sandwich Island rice, and is shipped here duty free we have no means of knowing, but the temptation to com- mit fruud in this direction is very great, and those enguged in the business are not over- ‘scrupulous. Therefore, the treaty, in so far ns it relates to the entire production of the island, is wholly and exclusively in the: interest of the Chinese.. For years the people of Califurnia— indeea, the whole Pacitic Coust—were clamorous for some sort of a reciprocity treaty with the islands, until finally the Government conceded this oné to them. It was for seven years, and now bas about three to run. ‘Our Government can terminute it sooner by giving one year’s no- tice of its intention or purpuse to do 50. IN ASKING FOR THU TREATY the people of the Pacific const must have ex- pected benefits frum it. Perbaps they thought it. would bring down the price of sugar here. ‘That it ought to huve doze, secing that the duty of twoandabalf cents a pound upon crude sugar, equal to five cents a pound upon reticed, bas been remittea by our Govern- ment, But instead of this expected reduction we now find that the or.co of sugur upon the coast fs actually higher than itwas before the treaty, or, perhaps, than it would be without the treaty. The $2,300.00 a year duty upon the Sandwich. Selunds suger which the Government. surrendered at our bld- ding does not come to the people of. the Pacitic const.’ Who, then, fs benctited by this so-called reciprocity treaty? The answer is, the sugar re- finers. THE TWO REFINERIES HERE represent but one interest, and the railroad company. As we shall presently show, the price of sugar in New ‘York gov- erns the price here. It {is the same at San Francisco asin New York plus the freizht charges. .In other words, if sugar is selling in New York at 10 cents per pound, and the freight from New York to San Francisco is one cent per pound, then the price bere would be 11 ceats a pound. It should be remembered always, in this connection, that about. 70 per cent of tho sugar consumed in the United States is im- ported, and that all imported sugar is dutiable except what is produced on the Sandwich Islands. _ LAST YEAR the railroads charged one cent a pound freight for bringlag sugar from New York to Culifornia, butthis year they usk double that amount, or $40 per ton, which is siinply a probibitury charge, and doubtless was so intended. It isunderstood that the refiner here pays the railroad here $400 ton upon 25,000 tons of frelgnt which it does not carry from New York to San Francisco. The refiner, by paying this subsidy of $100,000 per anoum to the railroad to keep Exstern sugars out of this murket, is thereby enubled to charge and does charge two cents a pound overthe New York price for ull the sugur consumed upon the coast, and us the Hawatiun Islands produce ‘§u,009,000 pounds of crude sugar, eauul to 40,000,000 pounds of refined, it will be scen that the people of this coast are é MADE TO PAY the ‘trifle“of $800,000 per annum more for the Sugar. they consume than the same quantity of the dutlable sugarcan be bought fur in New York, Boston, or Philudelphia. The gross value of the Hawniian sugar crop of 8).Uu),00 pounds at five cents per pound fs _$4,0N,0W, for whien the people of the United’ States, including the Puxcitic Coast Stutes - and Yerriturivs, nre made to pay, first, five cents a pound, ¥1,UWU,000; second, by luss of revenue, $2.50u.00U;_ unird, by luss of revenue on rice, ‘$5uu,0uU; fourth, owing to the combination be- tween the railroud und the refiner. $800,003. totul, $7,500,000; net loss, $3.800.000. Under the guise of the su-culled reciprocity treaty, this euormous -sum is tukea from the muss of the peuple und divided among a very few persons, who certuinly do not need it, but whose ripaci- ty grows wito what it feeds on. We wonder whether these millionaires ever think of the bard conditions which environ the pour wretches upon the islands, who, In produelog this sugur, are made to do the bardest kind of ‘toil fur the stunt Hest compensation puid to any people in the world.” ——__a—_—_$_.

Not muny rs would elapse before this dynamo-electric power would be supplied, not lone to tramways suitably situated for tit, as this one undoubtedly was, but alse to railways. ‘To shareholders in a company such as this they cuuld easily see what an npportant thing such & revolution in locomotive power would’ repre- gent. ‘Thb working expenses for baulage on a tramway such as theirs with borses would be ubout Il pence per mile, aud by steum-power about 7 pence per mite, but there was every reuson to suppose thut the working expenses of their motive puwer necd not rench a penny a mile.
