WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER II.

On the fourth page will be found sixteen
new laws, including that to increase the duties
upon certain goods, which are chiefly luxu-
ries, tobacco and cigars, beers, wines and
liquors articles which can well afford the
increased rates. few articles in the list are
among the necessaries Of life, the design being,
in altering the duties, TO encourage home man
ufacture as well as to raise more revenue.
Respecting some of the articles enumerated in
the law, there will be questions raised, if the
law applies to goods arriving from the United
States, such as matches, cigars, cigarettes,
&C. BY singular oversight, the duty on
champagne in pints was fixed at only one-sixth
of what was imposed when in quarts. This
was corrected in a supplemental act. The
provisions of this law cannot take effect before
the llth of October, 1877, as one years notice
OF any increase in our tariff is required by
treaty to be given.

Of the churches we saw in Belgium and France were
not attractive those in England. Nowhere in

For, though we know it is but " dust to Dust" we
do love that dust, and we like to feel that our
will be loved in turn by and by, and made to bios
som by careful hands. The vast size of these
churches strikes with surprise each time he

performed in different parts of them at the same

capital than any other business in the coun-
try.
The same system might advantageously be
applied to the cultivation of rice. 1t seems
probable that the old kalo patches of our
vallies and bottom-lands will very soon be
all occupied by the interchangeable Chinese, and
the more energetic of the aborigines; but
there are numerous large tracts of plains now
devoted 10 pasturage where, with a little out
lay of money, water can be brought. Such
tracts offer inducements of the most attractive
nature to companies able to control from
$4,000 to $4,000. Rice, which takes the
highest rank in the San Francisco market. has
been cultivated for many years at these
islands at fair profit, and now under the
influence of free-trade there can not be the
shadow of doubt but that its cultivation
will be one of the most remunerative indus
tries in tie country. And WHY should not
the small capitalists of the country participate
in these opportunities as well as the natives,
or Cinnamon, who have nothing to invest
but their ancestral kalo patches or a willing
ness to work?
In regard to the system of large combi-
nations of capital as applied to the cultivation
of sugar, there is no longer any question of
its ACCESSIBILITY. The various joint-stock
sugar companies of the Kingdom own some
Of our most profitable plantations, and there
was never a time in the history oe Hawaii
when money could be invested in this kind of
stock with surer prospect of speedy and
rich returns.
Let us be wide awake and meet Fortune
halfway, for we may rest assured that For
tune will not come more than halfway to
meet us. The grand prize for which we have
prayed and labored for the last twenty years
has become ours. Now all that is required is
a display of energy and of self-reliance OH
our part to evolve results which will astonislr
ourselves and the world.

OUR readers can have but a faint idea of the
hard times now existing in the Eastern Stltes
of America and also in England Respecting
the condition of the laboring classes in New
York City the Graphic says: "The actual
suffering among the poor of this city surpasses
tie conception of most people. Business is
very dull, and work is scarce and hard to get
at any price, and the prices paid for it in some
cases are frightfnlly low. The burden falls
most severely on poor women who have fami-
lies TO support, and in one case a mother and
daughter could earn only fifty cents by work
ing from morning till midnight, and after pay
ing their rent had just twenty cents to support
five persons. There are numerous cases of the
same sort, but they are less painful than the
instances coming to light every day of people
who have no work at all and are actually
dying for want of food With such a state of
things in midsummer the outlook for mid
winter is dark enough"
The Hawaiian gazette., 1876-10-11

ONE Of the principal topics of conversation
on the street for the past week has been the
extensive sale of property in the district of
Waimea, Island of Hawaii, known as the Wal
mea Grazing Company's estate, which was
chiefly owned and controlled by Mr.. Francis
Spencer, who has for so many years carried
on the sheep business in that quarter, and by
great labor and pains, and at vast expense,
brought his focks to a state of great perfec-
ton. His wool clips always bring the top
price in our market, especially the kind known
as the mountain clip, which has commanded
at times as much as 20 cents per pound.
We are informed that one-half of this estate
has been disposed of to Messrs W. L. Green
and G. W. Macfarlane on private terms, but
the knowing ones place the figure at between
$4,000 and 100000 for the whole property.
We consider the estate low at this price, and
a much greater bargain-for the purchasers
than the Kahuku sale of which SO much has
beer said. The Waimea estate is already
stocked with $4,000 sheep, and contains over
100000 acres of land, both fee simple and
leasehOld, and is probably capable of carrying
$4,000 to 100000 sheep. Probably over twice
the amount of purchase money has been ex-
pended in bringing the estate to its present
fine condition. 1t is the intention of the pro-
prietors to increase the business to twice its
present extent, and we wish the new firm every
success in their enterprise. We trust that the
enterprising spirit which it exhibits may prove
contagious, and that many in our community
may ere long give evidence of the same conf
dence in the future of the country, and of
hearty faith in the benefits of the Reciprocity
Treaty.
