be said, the rate of storage does not pay interest
of money on the buildings, but with our position
in the Pacific and our prospects, we should Do
high to become to a certain extent, a depot tor
the countries around US, and for the ships which
visit us. 1t is sometimes cheaper to pay the
duties than leave goods in bond. This should
not be. Our duty free list might be increased 70
advantage on the same principle, that the duty
was taken off copper for ships bottoms. I'M
ported articles for ships use almost exclusively
NAV lust as well be free as not. They are elther
for foreign ships or for Hawaiian ships. Ii for
foreign vessels, the goods are left in bond and no
duty paid on exporting them, whilst II for Ha-
waiian vessels or coasters, these should De aiio"eu
the same advantage as foreign ships, OF getting
their supplies duty free. The effect then Oh
levying a duty on their import, is not revenue
but it merely forces goods to be kept IN the
Custom House stores at great expense and ineon-
venience to all concerned.
A liberal drawback system also, such as they
have in all the Australian Colonies, would
be a most valuable assistance to us. The revenue
would gain by it, as we should often export I'M
suitable stuff and replace it by larger values OF
more desirable articles. The amount apparently
lost by such judicious and liberal regulations Is
often made up a hundred fold by the increase
of m and shipping, from the facilities
thus afforded. 1t seems to be difficult to make
whaling pay now even with good catches. Let
us hold out every inducement to them by cheap
ening everything they require, and by giving
them facilities. We may thus help the business
and keep the lions share of it, in the Pacific
Ocean at any rate. By this course of cheaper
ing, we, at the same time, assist our planters
we attract commerce and shipping, and add to
the general wealth and prosperity. Commerce
has been aptly compared to matter, which gravi-
tates to the largest mass. AS matter attracts
matter, so does commerce attract commerce. We
are, it is true, a small body situated in the
centre of, or surrounded by, great masses. But
the more commerce We draw from the surround
ing countries the greater power we obtain to
attract more.

FRIDAY, ., 1870.
There appears % be some dissatisfaction expressed at the
rate for oil Axed by the United States Consul FOR paying of the
crews Of the whaieshIps, viz % cents per gallon, and we learn
that the Harbor Master has been instructed TO refuse TO Alo"
seamenf from Hawaiian Ehaleships 20 be paid of at those rates
COnsuIs, ike other men, are not inhHTble, indeed there Is very
utsIs doubt hat the consular rate hr oil last year was fixed too
high, rs much L Is said as 20 TO IS per cent still the men are
shipped and the owners undertake 70 pay OF their men at the
consular rates, and last year the men were paid OF at the high
rates Fixed without a question H~sppears to Us tina; a great
responsibility attaches TO the United States Consul in this
matter, and We cannot doubt that they decide TO the bestOi
their ability from carefully collected data. We are not ex
perts in this matter, and do not pretend TO give a decided
opinion, but we are inclined to think from all we can gater,
and we are sorry for IL, that the rate as fixed this year MS
cents per gallon is really not far from the price which ArctiS
oil may be fairly expected TO nett, after deduetingfa all the
necessary charges

ToBAcco.-This is a weed much reviled ever since
the days of the famous edicts, pronounced against it
by His Majesty James First of England, especially
by those who do not or cannot use it. The excessive
use of it is admitted to be q grievous evil to the
human constitution but moderately, if it can be
determined where the happy mCdium lies, its use has
been advocated as q quieter Of the nerves, an anti
dote for obesity, &C., and the after-dinner Havana
has been regarded by some as q helper Of digestion.
or a defense for IL We are merely cogniZant Of the
fact that it is one Of the plants of the planet, and
extensively used by the civilized man and the savage.
We came to think ( Of the subject, more particularly
in relation to our own islands. and its population, in
one of our afternoon walks around Honolulu, and
observing, especially on Marine street. the number
of old women seated on the bare ground, whose only
stock in trade was q few bundles Of native leaf
tobacco, and for which they found constant customers
from day to day. Singular it is imported among
Europeans, from the American Indians, that all
other aborigines have in the catalogue Of vices,
learned its use Immediately from Europeans. 1t was
unknown in Hawaii. When the whites were first
seen smoking, they were set down as akuGs-gods-
for they carried fire in their mouths, and smoke
issued therefrom. The white men were not thought
TO be in any danger, as was an illustrious Briton
thought to be by his servant, when the ducking was
administered to save the master from burning up.
No., not at all. But the query was with US, how is
it that with tobacco Of so excellent a quality as the
Hawaiian tobacco is allowed TO be, such large guam
titles of the old Virginia have to be imported OF
course, the first answer. because the Hawaiian is not
cured or prepared. And then comes the next query,
why is it mott Its use, SO universal, and the de-
mand never possible to fail, it struck us that as there
is no trouble to raise it-only needing a knowledge
how to cure tit would prove to an expert in the
business a source of profit, the amount of capital re-
quired not being large. We are aware that some
years ago an attempt was made, by some parties on

CONSERVATION fell upon the assembled
group, and the delinquent Harry, not the
least conscience smitten among them; but
Juliet, with q sublime Indifference to her
stained carpets and smashed china, was
equal to the occasion. She came forward,
smiling sweetly,
''Oh, Harry, Pm SO glad to find you
well! l got telegram from Mrs. Camp
Dell to-day, saying you were badly hurt,
and flew to you at once i"
Harry a0aS pretty badly hurt Just now,
but he made out to stammer few words.
"Oh, no, JuIie-Im all right-so glad
you came"
t'These are some of our friends, drop
ped in, I see, said that wretched little Ju-
let with sweet smile. 81 would be
glad to stay and help you entertain them,
but l am so tired, so fatigued that YOU
must really excuse me if I go up to our
room at once. Harry, dear, please ring
for Sallie, and send her up, but don't hur-
ry yourself or disturb your friends. Good
night, gentlemen!"
And, with a serene smile, Mrs. Juliet ran
up to their mutual chamber, where, in
stead of darkness, she found lights burn
ing, and old Aunt Sallie waiting, which.
considering sne had como down from that
very room a few moments before, was
not as remarkable as it might be.
a few hours later Mr.. Harry came
biunderinS sheepishly upstairs, but his
sublime little wife received him with the
same serene 1nconsciousnesss she had shown
down stairs.
In the same happy spirit they rose and
look breakfast the next morning. After
which Juliet proposed, as she had found

Harry hitched about, and got up and sat
down and welked the room, and finally
managed to say:

you might as well go down to Cape May
and finish the season"
But can you afford a?" asked Julie.

peculiar twinkle in he blue eye.
''Ye-es-I guess 1 can; and-Julie-

in the face.

asked Mr.. Harry.
''Oh, no, nothing at all, thank YOU,
Now you must go, for 1 have several
things to see to while I'm at home. Good
by, daar."
She held up her pretty head, and Mr..
Campbell stopped and kissed his wife, and
then he departed for his office, a wiser, if
not better man while Ruth and Julie
were left to triumph in the success of
their scheme to find out why Harry could
not afford it.

1he. IoUal gains IN these thirty
counties is l57,413, the total loss 2O,2O4
showing a net gain Of 137,2O7. gheee
counties contain about one-tLird the en-
tire population of the state Should the

of the state, the total gain in the state
would be about All ,62l, and the total

thought the southern district will average
a larger rate of increase. The population
of the state will be nearly three millions.
Of the counties in the table, Cuyahoga

in which is Toledo, comes next, and Stark
third. The largest proportionate increase
IS made III Ottawa county, which shows

WESTERN REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.



The Western Republican congressman
are having decidedly hard time of it on
the stump. There are several things which
puzzles them exceedingly to explain:
l. To their German Republican friends
how 1t happened that majority of the
Republicans IN the House of Representa-
tives voted for such change in the natu-
rallzatlon laws as would make it almost
impossible hereafter for foreigner to be-
come a citizen.
2. Why did the Republican Congress
adopt, and the Republican President sign,
the present high tariff law, by which the
masses Of the people are plundered for the
benefit Of eastern manufacturing cormO-
rants?
3. Why did not the administration of
Grant recognize the independence of Cuba,
which had been gallantly maintained for
two years, and would have been finally
successful, If the island could have had
the benefit of our moral influence in its
favor.
z. What has become of the Alabama
claims against England, which the Ad-
mInlstratlon came into power to collect d?
8. Why was a funding bin passed in
relation to the national debt, surrender
ing, upon the part of the Government, the
right of Federal taxation of the bonds,
and paying them double the rate we orig
inally agreed to give? ..-...
6, Why do the National banks have
the privilege Of issuing their notes as mo-
ney, said notes costing the people nearly
or quite S2O,OO0,O0O a year, when legal
tender notes could have been issued for
nothing?
Z. Why is the army not reduced to
the peace standard of u instead of q, 900
men? Why does it cost $50,00O,GO0 an
nually, when it should be but $50, 600, 900
S. Why is our navy IN such an ineffi o.
cient condition, that it IS admitted by Re-
publican Congressman that the $500,
900 spent upon it since 1861 have been
worse than thrown away? How was the
money squandered?
9. Why was not Gen. Grant, for his
shameful and illegal agreement entered
into with the dictator Baez for the eessioR
of San Domingo to the United States,
promptly impeached and turned out of
Office, which it would have been the case
had it been Andrew Johnson7 E
