The labor Quesfion.

Mr.. EDIToR:-To the Planters aud others
interested in the development of agriculture
on these islands, and its concomitant, the
labor question, it is amusing, if not surpris-
ing TO witness the erratic course of your con-
temporary journal, the Advertiser
The downright practical men among us
who have experience in the matter of labor
ers, and who also are cognizent of the schemes
and flights as set forth in that journal from
time to time during a long period, make
charitable allowance for them, as coming from
INSTRUMENTATION, although not thorough
ly practical or reliable one-and therefore,
many of its views which are set forth pass
away alike the idle wind which is needed
not"
Having personal interest in the labor ques-
ton, have given some attention to the late
articles on the subject that have appeared in
the journals of your city, as also to former
articles that have treated on the topic, and /
cannot but attest to the general correctness
Of yourobservations relative thereto as given
in your last issues.
AS matter of curiosity, some of the views
that the advertiser has given 10 the public
may be recalled and compared with its pres
ent expressions. In the year 1867, in an ar
ticle on the Labor Question" the following
may be found: 1--WE have got enough of
Chinese" 1--WE think the case clearly stated
in this article, showing that any further i'm
portation of coolies is unwise." 1.-THE his
tory of our plantations and of our courts of
justice all go to show that our coolie laborers
are of the loloest and most deprdued class of
humanity but little elevated above the brute
creation" "These coolies are imported
solely for laborers, and unless they show
disposition to follow an honest calling, they
should be compelled to continue in the SER
vice they enlisted inn "A law will be re-
quired compelling them to re-engage in SER
vice for a term of years, or to return to their
own country, or to enter the government
public service.n 1.-THE faithful labor OF one
northern European will produce more in one
day than the labor of fire coolies, and save
the expense of a field driver or overseer"
Now, in late article in said paper on the
" coolie SYSTEM" we read: "No reasonable
man objects to the introduction of emigrants
from China, Japan or elsewhere" 1--WE
need laborers, We must have them from China,
from Japan, from wherever they will come"
1t now seems apparent that our would-be
guide, the advertiser, which one year instructs
that "a law will be required compelling
them," does the next year, when law is
made bearing upon their case, turn about and
rebel against its own sage advicel and sug-
gests the issuing of writs of habeas corpus in
behalf Of these coolies that every one of them
may secure personal liberty. The thanks of
'pettyfogging lawyers" will be due to the
The Hawaiian gazette., 1868-09-16

Advertiser for its index OF direction for bust
ness in their line-whatever the planters and
others may think of the suggestionl
The history Of some of our plantations
the present year show conclusively, that
many of these same coolies but little eleva-
ted above the brute creation" have been gath
cred into schools for religious instruction,
and have made progress under the beneyo-
lent efforts of Christian masters and over
seers. The Press reports that only the last
month, one who was imported coolie hav-
ing been deemed thoroughly worthy Chris
tian and competent man, received appoint
ment under the auspices of Hawaiian
Christian organization as teacher and preach
er to his fellow countrymen on the planta-
tions, and we doubt not, he will receive all
encouragement from our worthy and we'll
disposed planters and masters of Chinese
coolies. And this is the class "whom no eff
forts can ehristianize or civilizer'
80 consistency thou jeweli'
Your correspondent has had experience in
their capacity as laborers on these islands,
with the swede, the German, English, Irish,
"the irrepressible Yankee" Negroes, Ka-
naka and Coolie, and can affirm, that with
good treatment and good wages, great shirks
and good working men will be found among
each class; and that the view put forth that
"the labor of one northern European will
produce more in one day than the labor OF
fire coolies" is a delusion which will "van-
ish in thin air" when the one is "pitted' "
aguIust rne nve unuer equal conditions.
This is not said with the design OF detract-
ing from the good qualities of the northern
European laboring class or any other BY all
means let them be tried, and the Southern
Polynesian islanders also.
The coolies of the EdSttield importation, a
lot OF which the writer has good acquaint-
ance, are q manageable and efficient set of
laborers, giving prime satisfaction, and are
regarded preferable to Hawaiians, and in our
views, verify the report of DR.. Hillebrand,
that the Chinese coolies of all the Asiatic
races available, possess the best physical ca
pacity for labor.
The labor question is truly one of momen-
tuous importance to this nation, and the
Board of Immigration have a most RESPONSE
BILE, and as is witnessed, most thankless
task in any effort to. supply the clamorous
demand for laborers.

n. H. Agricultural society.


The following business was transacted at
the annual meeting of the Royal Hawaiian
Agricultural Society, held in the Supreme
Court room in Honolulu, on the 2sth day Of
August:
The minutes of the last annual meeting
were read and approved.
The President, Judge Montgomery, read
his report to the Society.
The Treasurer, Mr.. F. A. Judd, read his
report for the year, which was approved and
filed, and ordered to be published.
A motion was unanimously passed that a
Certificate of Life Membership be presented
to the Hon. W. Hillebrand, NJ. D., in con-
sideration of his eminent services and ex-
penditure of private funds, in the service. of
the Society.
A motion was carried that the address of
the Ex-President, just read, be published
The election of officers was then held.
The names of the officers elected were pub
lished in our issue of Sept 2d.-ED.]
Mr.. Castle moved that the thanks of the
Society be presented to Judge Montgomery
for the interest he has ever manifested in the
prosperity of the Society, and the manner in
which be had presided in the administration
of its affairs.
Mr.. Castle remarked that in making this
motion he felt that his thanks were due to
Judge Montgomery for what he had done to
promote the interests of the Society.
Inc motiUn was passed unanimously.

We are not disposed to dispute with
our neighbors upon the definition of terms
and therefore, so long as Interpolation Of
the word coolie to our Chinese immigrants
is conceded to mean voluntary laborers, as
they really are, the use of the term will
not falsify facts. 1t will be contrary to
individual as well as national freedom of
action if the proposition is erected into a
principle that labor may not be sought
anywhere by those needing it, in a fair and
honorable way; without such efforts being
condemned as immoral and contrary to the
spirit OF the. age.
Cheap labor is the great necessity with
our agriculturalists- labor ,at such wages
and in such available shape as may enable
them to place their sugar. rice and other
products upon the market at cost that
shall give margin for profit. The market
price is the Procrustean bed to which we
must it all our enterprises. The general
opinion of our planters is, that the Chinese,
for cheapness, facility in being procured,
and efficiency 10 doing the work required,
are the best immigrants that have so far
been introduced. They meet the labor
question in its simplest and most economi-
cal bearings. Financially, we need seek
no further.
There are other questions growing out
of the effects. influences and results that
arise from the introduction of the Chinese
in large numbers, that may well engage our
attention and awaken our thoughtful con-
sideration as Hawaiians, but the contin-
ned importations of them is not as yet
necessary, and it will be time enough to
meet these complications when they arise.
There cannot be the least objection to
any planter or private gentleman introdu-
cling Europeans under CONTRACTS to serve
three or five years, and at the end of that
time to locate on or near plantations and
raise cane on shares" Qs not this

Steam PIOws.

The application of power to replace human
hands in the performance OF rude labor, has
in agriculture been as successful as in any
other department of industry The farm, of
late years, has become the field for the intro
duction of many labor saving machines, that
have SO reduced the cost of production as to
make lands valuable that were once. deemed
not worth tillage. This is Particularly the
case with California, most of whose immense
agricultural capabilities are due to improved
implements. Her fields are plowed, sowed,
reaped, and the grain thrashed and bagged
for market by machines. The reaping and
thrashing machines are so perfect and do their
complicated work so thoroughly that little is
left for inventive genius in that direction.
Attention is now given to the accomplishment
of blowing by steam. This is not difficult
on level areas and in favorable ground and
steam plows are not a new practical idea
But the cost has been great hindrance to
the general use Of steam plows, as not every
! farmer can afford ten TO fifteen thousand dol
lars for pillow. The latest improvements
are thus noticed in late exchange. The
Coffin q Standish steam plow, California
invention, has been successfully tested at
Martinez, where the inventors reside. II is
said to be alike practical and economical in
its working. The pillow is about thirty feet
long and thirteen feet wide, and weighs about
thirteen and half tons. 1t is capable of
speed of six miles an hour, but when work
ing moves at about the pace of walking
horse, at the same time blowing, narrowing,
and sowing breadth Of twelve feet, leaving
the ground finely powdered mellow, and
level as house floor. With the reaper and
thresher attached it leaves nothing to be de-
sired for wholesale farming
Another steam plow, on quite different
principle, has been recently invented by
George Willard. of Chicago This pillow nre-
rates by means Of revolving spades, power
to propel the machine being separately ap-
piled. 1t exeavates width of six feet-eaeh
Of the six "spades," at every revolution,
turning section six by thirteen inches in
size and ten inches in depth, with forty
pounds of steam a speed of about one mile
per hour can be attained. The cost of the
machine is from 5000 to g., 500 currency.
and it is said to be able to turn over the
ground at the rate of an aers per hour. A
company with $500, 600 capital has been form
ed in Chicago to manufacture these pIows
somewhere in the West, but we have seen no
account of its operations. The beginning, |
however, has been made, and in few years
the application of steam TO blowing will be
common all over the country. The changes
which this will work can hardly be overesti-
mated.

by announcing that he kept tame crows to

whole day bunting them for amusement,
after appetite is appeased. He counted over

THE bill for the admission of Afri-
canized Arkansas passed the House, on
last Saturday, by an almost strict par
ty vote. Members or both sides adj
mitted that they had never read the
s0-called constitution of that State, and
the Democrats protested earnestly a.
gainst hurrying it through, but Thad.
Stevens, the master rider of the House
of Representatives with whipand spur
drove the clowns Of the radical ring
into the measure the bill was passed
and sent to the Senate for its action.
This is but the beginning of the end.
This is to be the fate Of all the South
ern States. All the States to be recon-
structed, whether their constitutions
were adopted by the requisite number
of votes, or whether the people saw fit
to reject the bogus amalgamation con-
situations made to order by Radical
Congress, are to be ''put through" ac-
cording to this latest Washington
style. The reason for this is apparent.
The Radicals are desirouS to have Uni
ted States Senators from those States
and thus perpetuate their power in the
Senate. They are afraid of public
opinion, as expressed at the polls, and
know that their doom is fixed, when,
at the coming elections, the people
will be called upon to choose their
representatives in the House. They
will 90 any length, therefore, to secure
more power in the Senate, which they
expect to hold for some years to come
and thus prevent the repeal of the obi
Gus laws which they have enacted. But
they will be frustrated in their plans.
The pent up wrath Of liberty and
justice loving people will ere long
break forth and drive the whole gang
OF traitors from the high places which
they have beslimed with their treachery
and treason, so that the place that
knows them now, shall know them no
more forever. and that day is not far
distant.
