The above table, it will be observed, puts
these Islands down at least 5000 tons less than
our production in 1876. As it is, We are credi-
ted with twice the quantity set down for Aus
tralia, and equal to that given for Natal, in South
Africa. Taking into account the extent of each
of the three countries specified, and indeed of
almost all of those included in the Table, as
compared with that of the Hawaiian Islands, the
conclusion we arrive at is that these Islands
even now are relatively as productive in this
valuable article as almost any other country OF
the world. Thus British India and Penang
collectively only supply three times the quantity
of sugar returned by this table for the Hawaiian
Islands Central America with Mexico, and
Egypt respectively four times that quantity
and Peru, five times the same quantity. In all
these instances the superficial extent of the coun-
tries quoted greatly exceeds that of the Hawaiian
Islands. China, Notwithstanding It's enormous
territorial extent furnishes no more than twelve
times the reported quantity of sugar supplied
by the Hawaiian sugar growers and the i'm
mense Empire of Brazil only seventeen times
the same amount. We might further institute
Il comparison between the different sugar pro-
ducing ~couBtries from the point of yiew OF labor;
but we shall only observe in conclusion, that, if
