tiOn by the very means she takes to
sustain it. think that, $50 far as my
observation goes), the women who say
they do not wish to vote, are as firmly
established in their opinions as other
women, but they do not know that it
does no good for women to have opin-
ions unless they can express them;
and how can a woman express her
opinion on temperance, on morality, or
on any point of equity or expedIency
in a way sure to benefit herself or 9TH
ers, save by the ballot. The time is
surely coming when man will consider
the waste of the purifying influence of
women, and gladly sieze upon this
great power to assist him in producing
a more stable and perfect government.
A friend, speaking on this subject a
short time since, said: "I have found,
by consulting history, that men have
never been known to yield an advantage
that they possessed, unless compelled to
do so by force" All then that remains
for US to do is to announce to them
that it will be to their advantage to
have the help of women in perfecting
their laws and elevating their standard
of morals; in ridding the land Of the
curses of intemperance and dishonesty
in educating their sons and daughter:
in the principles of pure and just gov
ernment, and our work is done.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN CHILL.

A curious question has arisen in some
towns in Chill on the occasion of the in
tcription of citizens in the electoral regis
ters. At San Felipe one woman present.
ed herself for registration, one at Casa
blanca, and ten at La Serena. AS the
law makes no distinction of sex, and as
the only qualifications required for citi-
zenship are to have attained ones ma
jority, and possess a knowledge of read
ing and writing, the Boards decided to
register said representatives of the
weaker sex, so that, at the coming cleo
lions, women will be admitted to vote.

S. A.-Dedr Mdddm:-Your courteous
note of December 22d, 1875, requesting
me to be present to cooperate with
your Association in its work for the po-
litical emancipation of women at a con-
vention to be held in the city of Salem,
Oregon, commencing on the Sth day of
February of the current year, is received.
Having been a worker in the cause of
woman's enfranchisement for more
than ten years, you will readily under
stand that my sympathies are with you
in any movement which will hasten the
education, awaken the energies, or
large to point at which they will un-
derstand that they are entitled to all
the privileges and rights of citizen of
this nation, and will take and use such
rights and privileges as far as the pres
ent condition of the laws will permit
them, and combine to cause a change
in said laws, so that they may be ad-
mitted to exercise fully the greatest
and best of these rights-the right of
suffrage-now enjoyed by the male citi-
zen alone.
We need an earnest and hearty CO.
operation among the women of all
classes and conditions in this country to
effect this object; and, to this point, l
believe that more attention should be
given by the old soldiers in the cause.
While should enjoy heartily being
present at your meeting, and would
gladly give any aid in my power to
the furtherance of your work and aims,

The Currency question.

The Currency Bill which passed its second
reading in the Legislature few days since,
was important in that it made gold the stand
ard Of value, contrary to the act Of 1872 which
made the American half dollar the standard Of
value in this kingdom. But gold like silver
and all commodities having a value can not
escape obedience to the commercial law Of
supply and demand and must fall or rise, &C
oo1ding to the supply in the market, but as
there Is nothing more precious than gold by
which to measure Its value, its fall is only ap-
parent by the rise Of commercial commodities
IN the market and its rise is only seen by the
fall or decline Of the same in the market.
In Is4s the gold in the world was estimated
at s.. SOC. 600, 900. Since that time the amount
has been doubled and now stands at S5.OOO,
600. 900. This vast increase by the law Of sup
DIV and demand must result in the fall Of gold,
but as there is nothing more precious by
which to measure the fall, gold seems to stand
unchanged, and commodities to have risen,
but the apparent rise is the measure Of the
real fall in gold. This by an elaborate set Of
tables, prepared by N. Lavasseur French

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1876-09-13

MERCHANTS OPINIoN.-Mr. Blanchard, Of the
firm Of Williams Blanchard & Co., OF San Francisco,
has expressed himself pleased with the passage of
the treaty bill. The only objection there could
have oeen to it. said be, was confined TO the ar
Cumeut that the cultivation OF sugar in the sand
wich Islands wo1d be ruinous to the Southern
planters; that the supply from Hawaii would ex-
coed the demand of the American market This
idea was exploded long ago Reading over some
statistics to-day see that the requirements Of the
United States in 1875 reached 6S $50 tons. Accord
Ing to this, and the amount Of imported sugar con
sumed, the Hawaiian planters would have TO in
crease their export lis 6 SIS pounds before they
could fully supply Us with foreign sugar. Taking
the average annual increase Of the Hawaiian exports
for the last ten years and allowing the consumption
Of the United States TO stand still, it would take
the Hawaiian planters about one thousand years be-
fore their imports would fully meet our demands.
