Hawaii Holomua, Volume I, Number 75, 15 December 1893 — Sound the Warning Note. [ARTICLE]

Sound the Warning Note.

i This heading may seem to some of oar readers rather misleading, but we are going to refer to those rurf*8 of the Government nsnaily styled silver certificates. These are certificates tbat the face value has been deposited in i silver eoin in tbe Hawaiian j Treasory, and that on presentation there the note will be redeemed in that eoin. Heretofore under the maeh abused (b\* the Tims and Macs and the Mission- : aries) Monarchical Government, this question of whether the ! monev was there in the vanlts to 1 i redeem the notes has been the first duty of every Legislature tbrough its Finance Committee to answer. So far for many decades the question has been • answered in the aflirmative. The j puhlie could rest assured that if the note was presented, it would be redeemed on presentation in eoin. Now we hear that one of the wild schemes of the Provisional Government when, after declaring war on the U. S., they retire to the footbills, is to take the mouey laid by to secure tbese Treasury certificates and use it for the support of the crowd of hopeless bums, criminals, and beachcombers, whom they have hired to defend the sacred prerogative of the missionary rule in Hawaii. We sound the warning note (the treasun r note) and let them know, even if Thurston couusels it and Damon endorses the policy, that such an act of embezzlement will do more to ruin them in the eyes of the publio than any other action of tyranny they have heretofore committed.
