though it will be familiar to many, they
will scarcely be sorry to be reminded of
it. A Persian died, leaving seventeen
eamels to be devided among his three
sons in the following proportions; The

and the youngest n ninth. OF course,
camels can't be devided into fractions; so
in despair, the brothers submitted their
difficulty to Mohammed Ali. Nothing
easier," said the wise Ali. "In lend
you another camel to make eighteen ;and
now divide them yourselves" The con.
sequence was, each brother got from one

That Fraudulent Treaty.

a new result Of the miscalled reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and the Hawaiian Islands has
come to light. Information has reached the treasury
department. that DemararA sugars are entered free at the
san Francisco custum house as sugar from Hawaii.
Suspicion Was first awakened by the enormous increase
of island sugar seeking entry at that port. Had these
sugars paid duty the revenue to government therefrom
during the last year alone would have reached two mil
lion dollars. The subject is now undergoing investiga-
ton. The fact is that through this treaty and under
pretense of securing for our people an advantageous
trade with Hawaii, government has given up a revenue
which amounts TO q sum sufficient TO pay for all we ex-
port to the islands. and then have q big sum left. The
whole value of exports of all kinds from the United States
to the Hawaiian Islands for the year ended June 80,
1878. was 81, Ts3, 696. For the profits of this trade, which
might amount on & liberal estimate to a quarter of a
million dollars, q revenue is given up which exceeds two
millions. Worse than all, q monopoly is created which
is able to control the sugar trade of the Pacific coast.
This comes about in ways heretofore fully explained and
not necessary TO be repeated here.
1t is one of the Inconsistencies of a Z" protective pol
icy that it makes exceptions of this kind. Yet in its ex-
ceptions ii is consistent always with its own purpose,
which is special and the profits arising from monopoly.
To let in q commodity from one country free while the
same commodity from every other country is taxed ia,

The INTERNATIONAL Exhibition at Sydney, N.
5. w, which was opened last month, by Lord
Augustus LOTUS formerly British Ambassador
at st. Petersburg) has so far been a grand sue
cess. The buildings alone cost the colony up
wards of E2OO 900, and before the exhibition
closes another hundred thousand pounds will be
added to the expense. Although the subject of
the Sydney Exhibition was fully ventilated be-
forehand through the columns OF the ADVERTISER,
and His Hawaiian Majesty's Representatives in
the Colonies were persistent in directing the at
tentiOn Of this government to the desirability of
our being represented there with specimens of
our products, yet there is no Hawaiian depart
ment in the first Industrial Exhibition of the
Pacific. We are looking East instead of South
west. The day may come when we shall be
looking not East only, but to all points of the
compass. Our treaty of reciprocity with the
United States was gained after a long struggle,
and granted mainly because it involved no party
issue. The present Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States, Mr.. Sherman, flor what good
reason we are uninformed) has always been
opposed to Hawaiian reciprocity. But if Grant
is made President in lSS0-which he will be, if
he eOnsents-his influence and that of the Repub-
lican party should prevent the threatened abro-
CATION Of our treaty.

WnES we say that the cost Of living IN Homo

the bachelor, who boards at a Chinese restaurant

sequence, for the Chinaman can make both ends

large diminution in bis weeks assets. In reality

sons as to the difference in cost of living between
Honolulu and San Francisco, in very many Of
the every day requirements Of a family. In the
cost Of the productions Of the islands, it is just
as bad, or worse. This Island of Oahu, for in
stance, is notably a grazing country, and ever
since the beginning Of this year we have had
good showers and the feed is plentiful all over
the pastures, so that cattle ought to be fat and
increase and multiply. Live bullocks it is re-
ported command but ST to $50 a head, but
and a half cents a pound for choice cuts; while
in California and Oregon the best Of beef can be
had for from six to eight cents a pound. As to
fish, it is only the rich man, Tor the reckless
native who squanders his weeks earnings on a
square leed) that can indulge in fish in these
days. A half a dollar is the ordinary price now
asked, and very c~avalierly too, by the dealers In
the market for a mullet which would constitute a
fair meal for a hungry family of only two-with
no children-with potatoes at three cents a
pound, butter at fifty cents, and bread and tea
IN like proportions of cost-say $l.37 for a
meal for two.
Under these circumstances as regards the cost
Of living in Honolulu at present, it is not to be
wondered ut that householders are beginning to
get uneasy. We have heard the suggestion
seriously made, that a cooperative store might
be started here with much advantage, and we
know Of parties who have declared themselves
ready to invest in such an enterprise. The plan
has been adopted in various parts of England,
and with singular success.
