The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-03-12

For the first time in twenty-four years. our
imports and exports have risen above two millions,
while the latter have exceeded the former by
ly three hundred thousand dollars. If the theory
of political economists is true that an excess of
exports is the only true indication of commercial
prosperity, then the Hawaiian kingdom has arrived
at that position. But the picture may be a
deceptive after all, if we look into the details
The large gain in the value ofexports given above
is fictitious more than real, and is owing in part
to the fact that sugar is invoiced at higher value
than in previous years, and probably above it's
real value i. G., above what it would bring, if it
had to be sold here. But as the duty in the
United States, is not collected on an ad uaIorem
but specific basis, invoices are made out here.
regardless Of the actual cost and the tendency is
to overvalue the article when shipped. 1t may
be questioned whether the exports, valued in the
table at $2,356, 1858 83, have returned to the
producers and shippers over two millions. Ifso,
then our mode of invoice valuation is unsound.
Nationality of Merchant Vessels.
The following table shows the nationality of
the various merchant vessels visiting and trading
with our Islands the past year:

TWenty-fOur Years. Exhibit.
The most interesting table which we can fur
nish in this article, is the following, showing at
a glance the growth of our commerce for nearly
quarter of century past or since January 1916.
1t shows the total imports, exports, domestic
produce exported, foreign produce exported,
customs receipts, oil and bone brought here,
number of war, merchant and whaling vessels,
and the quantity of spirits imported

From 1916 TO 1862 THE TOTALS EACH YEAR
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1870-03-12

Though gain is shown of a few thousands
over the receipts for the previous year, yet they
are below those of 1867, which amounted to
1920, ,599 81. 1t will be that the import
trade of the group Is centered at this port.
Free Goods.
The total for the past year shows a large gain,
but it is owing mainly to the successful catchngs
of Hawaiian whalers, which report cargoes
amounting to S175,s73 25, entered free of
duty. The importations by the Government also
show large increase-a feature which should be
discouraged as conflicting with the interests of

We gave in paper for November 27, full
report of the last seasons whaling at the North,
showing large decline in the number of vessels
engaged (46,) but handsome average in the
amount of oil and bone taken. We insert the

let it grow almost wild, which, while it preserves
it from blight, may tend to produce inferior
quality of coffee.
Oranges and Lines.
The export of these fruits show some increase,
amounting in the aggregate to 139, 800, shipped
mostly by steamer to San Francisco. The Kona
oranges have been very small this year, the blight
still hanging on the trees, and rendering whole
orchards entirely fruitess The fine large oranges
occasionally seen in market are grown on
Oahu, mostly in the valleys back of waialua
We have frequently measured them eleven and
twelve inches around. So far we can learn
the trees in these localities have never been at
tackled with the blight These valleys distant
from the villages and almost inaccessible, other
wise more trees would be planted.
Lemon culture is meeting some success, and a
number Of fine trees are now growing in various
parts Of the group. Besides some at Kalihi
and Waialua, Dr. Smith of Kooa has several
now IN bearing, producing some of the finest
lemons We have ever seen. 1t is said that plants
raised from seeds taken fresh from the tree will
produce the true lemon, while trees raised from
imported seeds, produce only lines. A lemon
orchard will pay better than an orange orchard,
here or elsewhere.
Wool.
The exports of this article show decline, be-
ing less than in either 1868 or 1867, and until
there is more inducement in the way of better
prices, there cannot be much increase in the
quantity produced. The quality of our improved
wool compares faVOrably with the California
clips, and were it not for the heavy duty (I2
cents) imposed in the United States, foreign
wool, our growers would have there a steady
market.

The articles in the above table which show an
increase over 1868, are-Eiee and paddy, coffee,
fungus, hides, pulu, goat skins, whale oil and
whale bone while the following exhibit a falling
off sugar and molasses, wool, tslow and cotton.
The cause of the decline in the amount raised of
the latter article is the excessive drought, which
has prevailed on the lee sides of the Islands,
which are best adapted to its growth.

THE CONGRESSIONAL BIaAMusT. = Mr..
Bowen of South Carolina pleads guilty only TO
the relation of paramour and mistress, with
the woman alleged to be his first wife; orif
there was marriage between them, which
he had forgotten, it has been annulled by q
western divorce at her seeking. Both stories
are set up for him but this appears to be the
one that he relies on to save himself from
Sta,e prison. He married in August last, In
Washington, Mrs. Pettigrew King, then a
clerk in one of the departments; and now
some of his political opponents at home have
set on foot this conspiracy against him. About
ten years ago he was intimate with woman,
but was never married to her, and never rec
ognized her as his wife. But recently desiring
to marry,she filed bill applying for divorce
in Louisville, to which no attention was paid,
as she specified no time nor place of her mar
riage to Bowen. She subsequently married
man out West, and will, if called, testify that
she was never married to Bowen, who has no
apprehension at all of conviction.

RELIGION AND SUPERSTITION.

The Pekin Gazette of July contains
some interesting matter IN cOnnec-
ton with Chinese civilization gener-
ally, and more particularly with the
theory of the treatment OF disease by
means Of portions Of the. human body
cut off for the purpose. This, you
will see, has some bearing on the Iient-
sin affair. the immediate cause Of
which was the belief that the mis-
siOnaries used children's eyes as a
medicine Maksin-yi, the Governor
General of the two Klang tklang-nan
and klang-se), memcEiaiizes the
throne to the effect that q young girl
of Klang-nung-fu cut OF two joints OF
OneOf her fingers and put it into the
medicine which her mother was Ia
king for a disease which the physi-
clans had pronounced incurabie. The
traditional and orthodox Chinese Gus
tom, for which las the memorable
says) there are numerous precedents
even in recent years, is to cut Off a
portion of the flesh Of the thigh
This, the young girl, aged only fif
teen, at first actually attempted to do,
but had not either strength or courage
enough to complete the operation
The Governor General indulges in
bOundless laudatiOns of this most COM
mendable act of filial piety which had
Of course, its reward in the immedi-
ate recovery Of the mother. He begs
that the Emperor will bestOw some
exemplary reward on the child, such
as the erection of a triumphal arch in
the neighbOrhOOd to commemorate the
act. By this means, he says, tilial
piety all over the world will receive
The Emperor, in his
reply, refers the matter to the Li-Pu
for consideration. The family of the
girl are respectable, her father being
an expectant TaOtai. It is to be hoped
an abstract of this interesting memo
rial will appear as part of the precis
of the Pekin Gazette in the next
Cycle, and surely the editor cannot
allow such a touching instance of
Chinese filial piety and such con-
vincing proof Of Chinese civilization
to pass without its need of praise.
The American missionaries had a
meeting on the 5th, to consider the
unsatisfactory information furnished
by the American Consul at Tientsin
to the Minister, and if necessary to
memorable Mr.. Low, and, possibly,
the home government on the subject.
DR.. Williams and Mr.. Low" we
are told, "Only err from defective in
formation. DR.. Martin is all right.
He feels disappointed and ehagrined
at the conduct of the Chinese govern
ment." The President of the Pekin
University is further understood to
have expressed himself favorable to a
war which would awake the Chinese
out of their rOttenness. This is in
deed a reaction from Burlingamism Of
which the Professor of Hermeneutics
has been so conspicuous partisan; (;
but we have no doubt he Is as sincere
now as on previous occasions when
he has changed his opiniOn-prObably
more so, as the present utterances be

love.
