Custom House Statistics.

In another column we publish the statistical
table prepared by the Collector General of
Customs, from which our readers viii
derive useful information. The statistics ex-
hibit the gratifying fact Of an increase of ex-
ports from this port. over the corresponding
staples, namely, sugar and rice; of the former,
7,24s 3Ss, and Of the latter l,25s,6l5 pounds,
but at the same time a falling off on all other
products. The total value of exports for nine
months reaches S2,7i9, ,s3s27 as compared
with the same period last year, an increase of
S9s, ,sOs.67. From this showing it is fair to
presume that the Custom House figures for
;he whole year will show large and steady
increase over all previous years, which de-
monstrates the fact that the business in sugar
and rice at least is on the increase, and that
the energies Of our people as we'll as their
capital are being directed to the leading in
dustries of sugar and rice. In this connec-
ton it is a noteworthy fact, that the rice cul-
ture on these Islands, which is increasing
steadily each year, is carried on by Chinese,
whose patient industry has put 10 profitable
account portions Of these Islands that hereto
fore were barren wastes or unproductive
swamps. If we take the increase in the past
nine months Of the present year in rice, we
have l,25s,6l5 pounds, which at the low
price Of three cents per pound gives S37, ,75s.-
IS increase in cash receipts. The culture of
rice on these Islands by Chinese is in its in
fancy. and VIII be steadily increased until
every available foot of land shall be titled for
the benefit of the revenues of the Govern
ment; and vet we have class of men in this
community who, If they had their will and the
power, would expel the industrious plodding
Chinaman from the Islands, regardless of the
fact that they are the men through whose in
dustry, skill and thrift, the waste places are
being made productive, and the commerce of
the Islands increased annually. If the selfish
policy advocated by the men who find fault
with the Chinese, simply because they are
Chinese, was to prevail, il would not be
long before the revenues of this little kingdom
would decrease to so low an -bb. that Hawaii
nei would sink inio utter insigniicance, and
cease TO exist as a commercial country.
The truth is, that if the advocates of repressive
measures against Cinnamon in this kingdom
should ever gain headway enough to accom-
plish . the dog in the manger policy, which
these wiseacres are constantly prating about
though The newspapers and elsewhere, the
only result would be that they would accom-
plish the feat so aptly described in Scripture.
that is, they would "muzzle the mouth of the
OK, who treadeth out the corn, "only this
and nothing more."
