The Result.

The momentous affair of borrowing twelve
thousand dollars on Government bonds, about
which there has been such a great flourish of
trumpets in the organ-trumpets that gave a
most uncertain sound-culminated in Saturday
last. The wonderful pie was opened, and the
four-and-twenty black-birds Immediately begun
to sing. But, most lame and impotent conclu-
sion! After we have been told in one statement
that offers had been made to take the whole at
five per cent. premium, and then again, that if
that had been SO, it was preferred, if possible, to
give every one, even Town to the men of small
means. a chance in this scramble for investment
of funds-it now appears that the competition
for the bonds amounted to anything but a furOre,
and that less than four per cent. is the average
premium paid for the whole amount. There is
no doubt that, had it not been for the worse than
muddled attempts at explanation of this loan
business made by the Gazette, the whole of the
amount could and would have been taken on
more favorable terms, and that in fact, by a most
injudicious daubing of printer s ink, the Treasury
has actually lost about two per cent. per annum
on the transaction.
As we have maintained all along, the securities
of the Hawaiian Treasury are undoubted and de-
sirable as investments for long periods, but the
management of the business in the present in
stance has shown such an unnecessary straining
after a large premium, and so many laundering
contradictory and foggy statements have been
made, chat the mark has been entirely overshot.
1t is now gently intimated, that the Government
is going to put another loan on the market, to
raise funds for carrying on public works author
lied by the Legislature. and the belief is ex-
pressed that it will be taken at a higher premium
than has yet been offered. Under present cir
cumstances, We may be permitted our doubts as
to this. Government has in this first attempt
signally failed to make a loan popular. While
our community is not truly a wealthy one as
compared with those of older countries where in
dividual savings have been accommodating during
long periods, still, in view of our size and sur
roundings, there is a large amount Of surplus
capital here ready and seeking investment. 1t
is, however, peculiarly sensitive, and none but
first class securities can draw it out. Legally
authorized Government bonds constitute that
class of security, and, properly placed in the
market they ought to be in preference, always
excepting where a better or equally good rate OF
interest can be obtained on short time and sound
security.
9 Being ourselves neither borrowers nor lenders,
it may fairly be conceded that our advice is dis
interested. At the risk however of its being re.
jected, we beg to offer it here, to the effect that,
when next the Government asks for a loan, il
muzzle the mouth of that apology for a watch
dog, the Gazette, that is always barking out Of
tune and at the wrong moment.
