Is A CIRCULAR issued on the lst Of January by
Mr.. BristOw, Secretary OF the United States
Treasury, we find a table Of the : standard coins''
in circulation Of the various nations Of the
world, and the rates at which they shall be esti-
mated, &c. Among the rest, we find " Sandwich
Is.-monitary value, dollar-standsrd, gold
value, United States money, 1873" Probably
the Hon. Treasurer means 70 say g MONETARY value,
f~ve-franc piece that being the coin mostly in
circulation here, and the value of which in
Us. money is moreover 19.3. Or if he does
not know that much about us, our Commissioners
now in Washington could have enlightened him.
And they could have further informed him that It
is provided. by the Act Of 18th July, 1871, that
not gold, but the half-dollar or fifty cents
silver coin Of the United States of America shall
be taken as the standard and be a legal tender at
the value Of a halEdoIlar in all payments to be
made in this Kingdom The value OF two
American halfdOllars, gold standard, is $3.50.

TEE TABLES to be found in the Review Of the
Commerce. and Agriculture of the Islands, as
printed on the first page Of to-day's ADVERTISER,
have been prepared with extreme care, from Off
cial sources, and we confidently place them before
the public as accurate. On that giving a com
p~arative view Of the commerce Of the country for
the past thirty-one years. on since 1S43, a great
deal Of labor has been expended, and some grave
errors Of figures were discovered and corrected in
tables for those years which have heretofore been
Published. The present issue of the ADVERTISER
win prove an excellent one to mail to correspond.
ents abroad, as giving, in a clear and compact
form, reliable and valuable information, both as
to our resources and the capacity for the extern
sion of agriculture in these islands. On the latter
point, however, it is to be regretted that there
are no official data extant as to the amount Of
arabic land on the Islands, 90 that the proportion
which vet remains to be brought under %eultiva-
ton could be stated with a moderate degree Of
certainty. That this would prove on examination
to be very considerable, will readily be believed
when one re~colects the existence Of the wide
unimproved but rich slopes of Haleakala on Maui.
from Kahului upwards; the rolling country from
Mana to Waimea on Kauai or, nearer to the
metropolis, the now barren plains between Moa-
nalua and Kalauao; and other localities that
might be mentioned. AL these tracts OF country
are capable, with the outlay Of capital for the
introduction Of water, Of becoming the seats of
thriving plantations, whereby the value of our
exports might be more than doubled.

1t Is NOT very straDge-the Gazene to the con-
trary notwithstauding-tha the San Francisco
Refinery Companies should, under the circum-
stances, protest against the ratification Of the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty in the shape in which
it has been submitted, which it is supposed,
admits all our sugars under No. Is Dutch Stand
ard. The introduction Of all unrefned sugars
duty free at San Francisco will mol " benefit
every refinery on the Pacific Coast" Bot the
INTRODUCTION Of all our sugars under No. u Dutch
STANDARD, would be n proposition that would
suit the refinery companies, inasmuch we should
then be unable to compete, as We do now with
our higher grades, with their " Golden c" or
50 yellow refined" II is well-known that for the
country trade there has been " an active growing
demand we quote from the San Francisco
Commercial Herald for all high and medium
grades OF Hawaiian throughout the year." and
it is this growing competition that the refinery
companies will use their best efforts - get rid Of.
All average men will work and talk in their OWL
interests and 50 we find the San Jose MHcury
man, from the fruitgrowing and preserving sec
ton, making sharp comments on the action oil
the refners in opposing our treaty. Hawaiian
sugars duty free 70 him means a saving Of two OF

Propagators of Disease.

The Pail Mall Gesstie says: Among the many
agents for the spread of infectious diseases are, it
seems, % our domestic pets.' For the propagation
of fever a dog is sometimes as bad, or worse, than a
drain, and a case is referred to in the Sanitary Re
cord in which scarlet fever was carried from one
child to another By q favorite retriever. The dog
had been reared in a house where scarlatina pre-
vailed, and was subsequently given to a friend of
the family. Shortly after one Of the children in the
dogs new home was attacked with malignant scarla-
tina and died. Disinfectants were used plentifully,
and every precaution taken to prevent a recurrence
Of the nalady. but, in two months time, q second
child took the same disease, In It's worst form, and
died. As the dog had been the constant companion
and playfellow of these children, its woolly coat, it
is alleged, became so charged with contagious matter
as to render it a source of disease and death. Al
though it is only fair to the dog to admit that the
children may have caught the fever from other
sources than his wooly coat, yet there is reason to
fear that both dogs and cats, especially the latter,
do occasionally assist in the circulation of infectious
illnesses, and where fever prevails the sooner they
are lodged out of the house the better. They are,
however, probably not more dangerous in this re-
spect than books. No one who takes up q book from
q library ever troubles himself or herself as to the
antecedeuts of the volume; it may have Just left the
hands Of q fever patient.

THE SAMOAN ISLANDS.

The U. S. S. TUSear0ra. Capt. Erben, sailed on
Thursday last for the above group, taking as pas
senger, Col. A. b. Steinberger, the Commissioner
of the American Government to the independent
chiefs and tribes Of Samoa. The avowed object
of the dispatch of this ship, is stated in Eastern
journals to be the Investigation of the late reported
troubles between the natives and the Germans,
and to report the results to the American Gov
ernmeht. It will be remembered that some
months since a German vessel of war demanded
and received from the natives of Samoa indem-
nifty for certain alleged wrongs done Germans
resident in the group, and concerning which there
were various and contradictory reports at the
time. We are enabled however, from reliable
sources, to cay that although the investigation
referred to may properly be incidental to the
voyage, it is not deemed to be Of the importance
that has been represented.
Col. Steinberger will land at Upolu, the prin-
cipal port Of the group, where he will establish
his headquarters. 1t is Supposed the passage
will occupy about twenty-five days, as the Tus-
carora will make it under sail and before pro-
eeeding to Apia she will touch at Page Page, on
the Island Of Tutuila, to confer with the princi-
pal chief, who regards himself as very powerful,
and is disposed to maintain the independent
sovereignty Of the Islands. 1t may be the policy
OF Col. Steinberger 10 bring the chiefs Of the sew
eral islands together, for the purpose of bringing
about a consolidation Of all into one head govern
ment, under 4 code OF laws similar to the Hawai-
ian. If this should be the case. the Tusoarora
will probably convey the chiefs of UpoIu from
Apis to Page PagO, Tor the purpose OF e~onsuIta-

It, is Time 10 Organize.

% Recent events point .unerringly to the
fact that the only hope for the property
holding and tax-paying citizens of South
Carolina is to organize against the cor
ruptionists and p1underers, who are seek
ing to plunge the State, into deeper dis
grace and humiliation. All expectation
. that, combinations with any portion Of
the Republican party will effect the de-;
sired object has vanished away, and the
only course left is to thoroughly reTofgan- 1
,ize the Democratic party, prepared TO-
make every sacrifice fortthe redemption!
'of the State. The Tax Union organiza- !
ton has proven a failure, and the propo-'
sition to, depend hereafter upon that or
ganization doesinet meet;with the appre-
baton Of any considerable portion Of our
people, We venture to suggest the pro;
.priety ofthe Democratic members of the
General Assembly issuing an address to
the citizens ofsoath Carolina, urging the
reorganization Of the Democratic : party,
and; fixing upon an early, day for the
meeting of State Convention, in which,
all differences of opinion as to a future
policy may be settled, and a plan ofcam-
,paign determined upon which will bring,
victory, and :wrest the commonwealth
from the hands of an ignorant;i reckless
and brutal domination. =, .,.,..i T. - :,
