FIVE or six, or at most seven, of these reeds;

For a very long period, Europe was supplied
with sugar, chiefly from Hayti. Previously to its
devastation in 1870, that part of the island which
had been coded by Spain to France produced fer
export about 20, 900 tons. In 1901 the export Of
the whole island was less than IL, 1000 tons-re-
duced in lS41 to 1868 lbs. Barbados is the
oldest English settlement in the West Indies. 1t
was first occupied by England, in 1927. In 1916,
the trade of Barbados is said to have, employed
four hundred sail of vessels, averaging $50 tons
each. 1t is the only English island where the
export of sugar has not diminished since emanci-
patton.
The subsequent history and m of sugar
may form the subject of another article.

experience was more needed to preside over its
financial affairs than now. The government is
borrowing money, and if we are correctly IN
formed, interest is now being paid on some $780,
900. borrowed at from twelve to eighteen per
cent interest. At the latter rate, the interest
which the government will have to pay, will
amount to as much as the principal in five and
a half wears. Although these sums are bor-
rowed for two years only, other moneys will IN
all probability have to be borrowed to pay these.
WHY is it that when England can borrow hun
dreds of millions sterling at from three and a half
to five per cent. interest, and the United States
can effect loans at from five to six per cent, why
is it that this government is forced to pay from
twelve to eighteen per cent? Why is it that
when money is offered in the city on long time at
from ten to twelve per cent. interest, when $780,
600, at a reasonable estimate, is lying idle, our
government is compelled to pay the usurious rate
of eighteen per cent. for the funds she needs
The ministry will tell us and its organ will tell us
that it is because money is so scarce. But there
is not a man in Honolulu who believes this to be
the reason.
The reason and the only reason which can be
assigned is, because the treasury has no head to
direct, originate and carry out needful reforms :;
because the public have little or no confidence in
its management. And this is reason enough.
The remedy is at hand. Let a man be sought for,
and if found, appointed to preside over the fl
nances of the kingdom. Though he may find
naught but an empty vault, it will not be long
before his presence and council would restore a
healthy system to a now rotten corporation. 1t
requires a man who will not stoop to follow the
leadings of the Minister of Foreign Relations,
but can rely on his own judgment and experience
in bringing about a reformation who can origin
ate measures Of practical utility to supersede the
superannuated theories which control the 60 pres
ent administration" The public interests de-
mand this change, the public honor calls for a
reform. The change once made, public CONT
fdence in the finances of the kingdom once more
restored, instead of begging money at present
rates, deposits would be offered at below the cur
rent interest. The government might then con-
stitute itself a double benefactor, in becoming at
once the guardian of individual thrift and the
encourager of industry among its people, at che
same time that it calls for the deposits as means
of extending its public improvements to every
corner of the kingdom.
Let the present state of things continue for a
few years only, and the last vestige of popular
sympathy and confidence will be destroyed, the
government will become irretrievably bankrupt,
monument to the folly and supineness of the
g present administration
