cents up to u, and 3ls cents from u to Is form
erly-so that the average diminution on dark SUI
CARS is about cent per h whilst upon the light
sugars it is but I. cent per 10 Our dark sugars
are but little used except for refining, so that
the Refners viii buy our dark sugars without
compettion) at an average of cent less per ID,
manufacture them into yellow C and put them
into the market to compete with our light sugars
upon which we pay but cent less-making
discriminating duty against ms Of ,, cent per h.
If this new tariff applied only to Hawaiian su-
CARS as it would have done under RECIPROCITY trea
ty it would have benefited our sugar interests, but
being of general application tdiscriminates against
Us. We sell 10 the United States from a half to
three fourths of millions dollars worth of sugar
upon which they charge four 10 fire hundred
;. about the same amount upon which the Haw-
aan Government charges from .ifty to serenity
nee thousand dollars duties Our products con-
tribute half million of dollars to their Treasury
their products Of The same Dal,ts, contribute .tly
thousand dollars, fifth as much to ours.
We ask for a reciprocity treaty to be treated
5y them in our commercials 1retreattbeB. They
refuse the treaty but make discriminating re-
duction in their sugar tariff which, will operate
GENEROUSLY against US. Our planters have en-
countered great obstacles. and struggled manfully
against them, in the prosecution of their enter
prizes. Suppose the effect of this legislation
meant no doubt to protect refinery interests)
should be to crush out our sugar interests, what
do the L. ). gain They lose the large contrib
utions which we have made to their treasury, and
by impoverishing US, disable US from buying the
products of their industry. They lose the duties
which were levied, so unequally on our products
and the sale of their products which we have
admitted at so low rates. If they do not crush
the plantatiOns-they drive US from their market
to sell elsewhere and, we must buy largely where
we sell. To the U. S. We have sold almost ex-
clusively, and of their products we have bought
about as largely as We have sold
1t is the natural market for our tropical pro-
auctions, for which we wish theirs in return and
We regret that their legislation should compel us
to 60 elsewhere-unfriendly in its effects Though
l do not believe it to be so in its design upon
Hawaiian agriculture, originated largely by
American enterprise could wish the coming
congress to reconsider their action-and deal by
US as we do by the L. S, in our commerce.

LEGIsLATIoN.-There have been remarkable at

that made and provided, but We have seen none
more remarkable than the plan proposed "by j..
II. Tate, VI. D.. Professor of Zoology for re-
forming the State Of Ohio by what he is pleased to
term "judcious legislation" His proposed law,
in part, is as follows:
Sec l. No unmarried person over twenty five
years of age, shall hold any office of trust honor,
profit within the gift Of the people of this State
See 4. All unmarried persons in this State over
the age Of twenty-five years (after all other taxes
are deducted,) shall be subjected 10 the following
assessments upon their incomes, viz from twenty
five to thirty years, TO onefourth Of their incomes,
and after thirty years and until death or marriage
TO one-half Of their incomes; and in case of the
death of any unmarried person owning property in
this State, whether resident or nonresident one
half Of the estate both real and personal, shall be
forfeited to the State.
Sec. 5. The moneys collected under this Act shall
be deposited special fund in the county treasury
where the assessment has been made, or property
forfeited, and shall be known as the "fund for the
encouragement of marriage in Ohio In the month
of January, Of each year ii shall be equally dis
tributed 10y the County Treasurer among the persons
being residents of this State whom the records of
the county show to have entered into the holy es-

OUR community will be gratifed TO learn that the
venerable Mrs. Thurston will veauother reading of
her experiences in early Missionary life At Fort St
Church, Monday evening next Those who
heard Mrs. Thurstons previous readings it is quite
unnecessary to advise TO hear this one, as We
have not the slightest doubt they will all attend
but to those who were not so fortunate on the pre-
vious occasion it will be well to advise not to fail
to take advantage Of the opportunity offered them
TO enjoy an intellectual treat Of the arest quality
PUBLIC attention in the United States seems TO
be about equally divided between the "tle difficult
tyn between France and Prussia, and the advent of
seventy five Cinnamon at North Adams, Massachu-
sets where they propose to assist Mr.. Sampson in
furnishing soes TO those in need Of them. The dis
pute between France and Prussia is a very important
affair to the civilized world but then it is nothing
to this affair Of the seventy five industrious Ceesals
who have invaded the sacred soil OF Massachusetts,
than which no event has occurred in modern history
Of equal importance, unless we except an event
which also took place in Massachusetts, namely the
landing Of the Pilgrim fathers at Plymouth Rock
The first advent of new race did not then agitate
the natives any more than the last one has.
CHARCOAL SUGAR." AGAIN.-We publish the
following extract from the Atd California, for the
benefit Of the 4dseTtiser and those who, in fit of
yirtuous indignation, condemned the Sugar Refinery
in regard TO this well known case, even before
hearing of the was had. 1t is said that the
Judges in rendering their decision severely criticised
the decision of Judge Hoffman.
An IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-It will be recolected
that some time ago a suit was tried before Judge
Hoffman, in the United States District Court, in
volving the forfeiture of 2347 bags Of sugar, i'm
ported from the Hawaiian Islands by the San Fran
cisco and Pacific Sugar Refining Company The
ground for condemnation was that the sugar was
entered at the Custom House being of lower
grade than it really was, in legal point of view.
An appeal was taken to the United States Circuit
Court, where Judges Field and Sawyer concurred
yesterday in reversing the decision The judgement
now stands in favor of the Sugar Refinery. 1t will
have an important influence the sugar refining
business.
