Error HAWAIIAN GAZETTE Dear Sir We
may all welcome the change which sweet Sep
TENDER has brought with it. at least We do so at
MakawaO. The latter part of August, the heat,
from o'clock a. N. till about P. N. vas unusu-
ally oppressive, it being nearly calm. As evening
approached. it became uniformly cooler. aud in-
creasingly so during the night. Each morning
we found our fields and pastures literally drenched
with dew, so that one could not walk comfortably
even in ones door yard without thick boots. Ex-
eent at Waimea, on Hawaii ! have nzver seen
so heavy dews as we have lately had at Makawao
-dews which are not dried till noon. and often
not till or 2 O'Clock And yet was once as
sured by physician then living in Connecticut,
but who had inst returned from these Islands,
that there we're no dews at the Sandwich Islands.
Judge OF my surprise. then when a year or Two
later was wet from head to foo: with the dews
Of Wainea, one December morning. on starting
from the Mission-house or my way 10 Hilo. irav-
cling on foot as We all bad to do in those days.
I ssceEained. on my return from my tour around
Hawaii in 1929 that the doctor who had never seen
dew on the Islands spent most Of his island life
at Honolulu. and was apt to hug his pillow till
late hour in the morning. From these facts /
infer that il was not improbable that such an one
as my informant might have passed year OF two
at the Islands without perceiving drop Of dew.
Still, that there are dews, and heavy ones from
Hawaii to Kauai is fact which can be clearly
demonstrated. II Is an unspeakahle blessing in
districts where there is a lack Of rain as at Kona
on Hawaii. and in Kula. in my own neighborhOod.
No fa;ter and sweeter beef have I ever eaten
than that raised and slaughtered in Kula,-a
district covere with lava. in great measure de-
composed. Here, the dews are frequently heavy.
resembling, for sught l know 10 quantity snd
quality, the dews Of Hermon and the dew
which descended upon the mountains OF Zion."
No better wheat have the Islands ever produced
than Kula, and the Irish potatoes are excellent.
Since wrote you. We have heen favored with
genial showers Of ram. grateful to the Young
sugsresne' and keeping fresh and tender the
food for cattle and horses The season thus far
has been highly favorable both for man and
beast; and ! am happy to say that our friend
and neighbor al Ulupalakus. has had the pleasure
of seeing bis fields thoroughly preached With
rain since the first Of September, and still the
showers descend eopiously is the latest intelli-
gence We have from that quarter.

Correspondence.

]
Mr. EDITOR: The Adrertiser quotes Whit
tier, applying his condemnation of minis
ters who sustained slavery, to two Chris
tian ministers on Maui Those ministers do
not stand alone, by any means, in viewing
the system of labor contracts as utterly I'M
like slayery,-with no element of slavery IN
it. Nearly all of their brethren. minis
tiers and laymen, entertain the same views +;
and they are, briefly, that every man has
natural right to make just such con
tracts as he thinks his interests demand,
10 do whatever is lawful to be done, and
when he has made them. he is bound to
fulfill them: in other words, that he has
no more right, willfully, wantonly, dis
honestly, to violate them, to the pecuniary
injury of the other party, than he has 10
steal so much of his money,-and the man
who could try to persuade the Chinese
laborers recently brought here in the
Solo, not to fulfill their promise to con
tract,-on the ground that wages were
higher, and plantation work undesirable,
after $4,000 had been advanced for them
on the faith of that promise-it seems to
me must have been destitute of any per-
ception of what was morally right or
wrong. In my view, TO have done so was
nothing less than a crime, which would
have injured innocent parties to the extent
of $4,000, and more, and given the open
ing lesson of immortality to these Chinese
on our shores, by teaching them that to
violate the faith upon which so large ad-
vances had been made, without cause, was
not crime, and, practically, no wrong;
nor do think 1t to be true that higher
wages are paid. If you add to the slip
ulated wages, the cost of board, the pres
ent to be made, the two suits of light
clothing to be furnished, and apportion
the more than $4,000 advanced in cash
to them, and for their passage, it amounts
to more than either inexperienced or ex-
perienced laborers can obtain, except here
and there one for special work, and more
than any planter can afford to pay, unless
1t is an object for him to become bank
rupt; nor do we think plantation work
more undesirable than other agricultural
and farm work, either in Old or New Eng
land. 1t calls for the same industry and /
diligence-nothing more.
William LLOYD Garrison says that con-
tracts made in the United States. or 4
abroad, is the concern of those who make |
them, and who have the right to do so, if /
they think that by so doing they can
better themselves by obtaining more
wages, or in other ways
The gentlemen of Maui. alluded to by |
the AdUertiser, are in good company so
far as their views OF the identity of slavery
and the contract system are concerned,
FOR they seem not to differ from those .
champions of anti-slavery, Garrison and
Greedy, whose names have been identified
with that cause for almost half a century.
To fulfill promise, contract is right.
To break it causelessly, willfully, to the
injury of another, whilst you have the
means of fulfilling it in your hands, is a
is more, it is a crime-and to
each otherwise is an immortality, no mat
er how sincere the teacher may be; and

lese, who arrived in the Solo, could not
