Correspondence of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,


Mr.. EDITOR Some :" long time ago. the press of
Honolulu agitated the question of rice culture on
these islands. The Royal Hawaiian Agricultural So
ciety, with that zeal and promptness which of late
years has signalized its efforts for the advancement Of
agriculture, Immediately procured o considerable
amount of seed rice; but it appears that, like many
other we'll considered suggestions for public good, the
interest taken in the cause of creating a permanent
and successful, because sure and highly remunera-
tive, staple product for these islands. died away again
as fast as the newspapers that contained the articles,
were lost and forgotten.
I doubt not that this is but another waste of scrib-
bling and printers ink to again revive the forgotten
subject; but perhaps it viii help to fill up a corner of
q column for want Of . railroad accident a week after
the arrival Of q mail, and it being one of those long
and duh Sunday afternoons. l will just imagine my
self animated by a laudable and praiseworthy spirit of
philanthropy, and 1atter-no, not fatfer-but dream
myself some Insignificant lever in q complicated APP
paratus for removing mountains. just set to work to
. mountain higher than the pail, and as in
visible as Mauna Loa i.self-the mountain Of dirty
sloth ard beastly laziness. which ever has, and per-
haps ever win, crush every effort for the moral and
advancement of the Hawaiians. But men

claims and exercises; but by this clause of the
treaty, no French vessel can be subjected to this
charge, and if q guard is stationed on such yes
sells, it can only be done at the expense of the Ha-
waiian government. This would be of very little
Importance if confined solely to the half dozen
French ships that visit us, but the same privilege
must be extended, if claimed, to ereyy okkev ma
fion. In computing the expense and evil results
of this treaty, this item must not be lost sight
of.
But perhaps the most important change shich
this treaty seems likely to effect in the inzzsrnal
regulations Of the Kingdom is that contained in
the 18th article, in which it is expressly sssipu-
lated that g French whale ships shall ~besubjected
to the same rules as arc or may be imposed on,
and shall enjoy in all respects the same rights,
granted TO the same Ha,ca.ian ressels and rhaLe
Ships, or to those of the most favored nation"
BY the existing laws all the products of Hawaii
ian fisheries are, as they ought TO be, admitted
free ofduty. This article, if it means anything.
means that French whale ships can avail them
selves of the same immunities, or. in other words,
can land and sell all their oil and bone and ivory
free of duty. And the same privilege, by parity,
must be extended TO the whale ships of every
foreign nation. How the operation of this will
affect the interests of Hawaiian whalers, remains
to he demonstrated.
I'VE defer our remarks on other points of this
treaty till our next ISSUE.

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

MOVEMENTS OF THE CoURT.-Their Majesties the
King and Queen, with the Prince of Hawaii, and
attendants, with several invited guests, embarked on
Tuesday evening, for Kona, Hawaii, per the clipper
schooner Maria, Capt. Frank Molteno. Their Ma
~ieeties, we learn, intend to be absent some two months
or more, and the King has intimated his determine
ton of making himself q summer residence in the
pleasant district Of Kona, so we'll known as the
f~avorite residence Of his royal grandfather. The
Eurydice manned her yards and fired a salute on the
cmbarkation of their Majesties. A salute was also
fired from the Battery on Punch Bowl Hill.

to satisfy Denmark, German to satisfy Hamburg
and Bremen, Swedish to satisfy Sweden, Russian
to satisfy Russia. This is the practical result
which mar follow the concession Of this demand.
And what is sought for in return? That Hawai-
ians may enjoy the same privileges at Tahiti or in
France? No |! Nothing of that. The foresight
of our Plenipotentiary did not extend SO far.
We must be treated on q different footing in
French territory. Great diplomacy this! Wise
Statesmen ours!
Not content with compromising our national
dignity with so bemeaning a concession, it isfur-
Their conceded that disputes in regard to the
translation of all official documents presented
shall be referred to the French Consul as UNI
pire, to certify whether they are correct. That
he is well versed in English and Hawaiian, and
fully competent to decide on the correctness of
such foundations may be very clear to the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, but will not satisfy 9TH
ers.
We pass on to Article X, which compels us to
reduce the duties on imported spirits, not from
France alone, but all importations, for all must
be placed on the same footing. This Article is
Objectionable on several grounds. lst.-It is an
open interference on the part of a foreign nation
with our internal legislation, a violation of our
just rights, which should have been instantly
and firmly rejected, for no government can be
dictated to in such u manner and retain its indie
pendence. And yet We are told by the Ministry
that the concession of this Ubiquitous demand
80 places us so much nearer to the topmost round
of positive independence ~ We pity the man
whose visual organs are SO distorted as to view
the matter in this light. Were a man to go to
the Minister and claim the right to dictate to him
what he should pay his cook or his clerk, whom
he should employ or not employ. what he should
eat and drink, he would he secuted l. at and kicked
out of Lis presence. But when one nation de-
nnands of another nation that it shall do the same
thing, this same Minister says aye and amen. and
that, in doing 30, we shall be a nation
possessed in fact of all the rights and attributes
of sovereignty"
2d.-The tenth article is Objectionable because
it carries with il a compulsory reduction of our
revenue, without any corresponding benefit, and
to an extent beyond what is generally supposed.
Let us look at the amount We lose from the date
of the enforcement of this treaty. The present
duty on spirits is five dollars a gallon and one
dollar on wines the treaty reduces it to three
dollars on spirits. The revenue derived from
duties on liquors for the last two years is as fol-

Add to this the heavy gales Of August ID and Sd
and the night Of August 10th, at the very time the
rice opened bloom, and it is no wonder that such q
large amount of grain is untitled. But taking into
consideration 56 days Of rain in 112 days, the many
severe winds and actual gales, and. besides, the ex-
posed situation of the rice patch itself. it appears to
me that three-quarters Of q pound per square yard
from an acre containing 4s4O yards square. giving
$3.50 pounds as the product Of an acre, might estab-
lish it as q fact, that the culture Of rice on these isl
ands as q permanent staple for export, would Be
highly successful and remunerative, and. even at this
nate, or At the still lower rate Of only 5000 pounds
per acre. by affording two crops per year. it would
exceed the crops Of South Carolina by so per cent.
Heavy rains and high foods are, I believe, not ofener
on these islands than in South Carolina, and the de-
structive influence of the winds might be easily
checked by planting weeping willows on the windward
side Of the embankments.
In opposition to the heavy expenses which the
preparation Of rice fields requires in South Caroline,
/ would mention only the hundreds and perhaps
thousand Of uncultivated kalo patches. whose former
owners and planters have long since como where NO
no more poi is pounded; there they lie wasting, over
run with weeds and rank grass, not even at for
pastures, overgrown with indigo, the seed Of which
the winds strew far and vide, till the whole country
is becoming but an indigo wilderness; there they lie
with their deep. rich, clayey soil, ready at hand, pos
sessing all the most desirable conveniences, level. en-
bankments. and streams Of the richest Il mean chem
ically) water, fresh from the mould and decayinr
rocks Of the mountains; there they lie only waiting

1t is fair to presume that the importation Of
spirits under the reduced duty will not greatly
exceed the above figures, which may serve as a
reliable basis to estimate the receipts therefrom.
The amount Of revenue that will be derivablc
from wines, it is thought, will not vary much
from that ut present received and for our esti-
mates VIC will assume it to be tho same. The
revenue under the new treaty will then be as fol-
lows:
