number OF whalcrs that put in here for re-
crul's increased, and when through the inllu-
ence of the French Treaty, all restrictions
were removed, there was Il great and imne-
diate decrease. The difference in number
between 1899 and 40 in American ships
was 23-and as the average expenditures Of
these ships is between and 500 dollars
each we find loss of upwards of $4,000
to the country; most of which amount would
have gone into the hands of the natives for
recruits of various kinds.
At Lahaina, Maui, since June I, 1910,
40 American whaers have recruited: also
two L. s. Ships Of War have visited there,
the crews of all Of which numbered over
1900 men. During that time no vessel Of
any other nation arrived there, excepting an
occasional trader
Since January 1886, II French vessels,
. Of which were men of war, have visited
this port; 8 English, of which were gov
crnment vessels; and 343 Amcrican-lO of
which were L. S. Ships of war. These data
are sufficient to shcw TO how much greater
extent American commerce and interests are
.jeopard!zed and injured than those of any
other nation, by the evils which naturally re-
suit from the unrostrained license Of selling
spirits. We say jeopardizcd--tor instance,
at Lahaina, ali open roadstead subject to
severe gales at certain seasons OF the year,
how could a master protect his vessel, or get
to sea in time should one set il Suddenly,
while half or more of his crew were ashore
drunk-an event by no means unlikely to
happen. Could the right guaranteed in the
Treaty have been confined exclusively to
French liquors, the evil would have been
comparatively hight as yet. Between this
country and France there is no direct trade,
and the importation Of French manufactures
is very small Thus while it has been but
Il matter of the slightest moment to those for
whose benefit the Treaty was framed, it has
caused the free ingress of the liquors of 9TH
er nations, the governments of which would
never have made a similar demand. OF the
large amount of spirits imported within l8
months, by far the greater proportion has
been English or American.
AS a nation the Hawaiians stand as a
most honorable exception in regard to the
use OF ardent spirits generally, to scmi-bar-
barous people. Notwithstanding the tempt
