The SUGGESTION has been made in a local news
paper, that a supply of desirable laborers for our
Island plantations could easily be procured from
among the freedmen Of the Southern States of
America. The Hon. W. NJ. Gibson in a recently
published letter fayors the same view, and be-
sides giving estimates Of the cost, states that
considerable numbers Of the colored laborers of
the Southern States would be quite willing to
come here with their families and engage for n
term of years at moderate wages. There can be
no question but that those people would be de-
sirabIe immigrants for the object indicated, and
far to be preferred to Chinese. But there are
certain circumstances which have not so far been
mentioned in connection with this project, and
which we think will have weight when duly con-
sidered. The negro, being free, may it is true,
come and go as he pleases but the cotton and
sugar planters of the Southern States las may be
seen by consulting the newspapers OF that sec
tion) are constantly complaining of the scarcity
and unreliability of their labor, the colored man
since obtaining his freedom being shiftless and
prone to move about from place to place. Now
it will be remembered that some Of the strongest
opposers of our treaty of reciprocity were south
ern members of Congress Especially the Louisi-
ana delegation, on account of the sugar interests
of that State, which they enormously supposed
would be injured by Hawaiian competition; and
for them now to be told that we were proposing
to entice away their labor, would be quite sufi-
cient to kindle their anger against ua, and re-
double their hostility to our treaty.

UNDER THE head of - By Authority " it will
be seen that His Majesty has appointed Her
Royal Highness the Princess LrKELIKE, (wife of
the Hon. A.. s. Cleghorn) to be Governess of the
important leland of Hawaii. In this appoint
ment the ancient policy has been very properly
revived, of placing the gOvernOrship of islands in
the hands Of chief families of high rank. While
it is q just concession to the predictions of the
native portion of the population, the business of
foreigners with the gubernatorIal Office can be
transacted through a secretary. 1t is a blund9r
however, on the part of the Ga2ene to say that
in this appointment His Majesty bas shown a de-
sire to " create a line of chiefs and chiefesses, .
seeing that Her Royal Highncss is the Kings
lies of the country.

Ii OUR commercial column will be found the
table Of principal domestic exports for the first
quarter of 1879, as compared with the CORES
ponding period of 1878, prepared by the Collector
General of Customs and courteously furnished
for publication by His Ezcellency the Minister of
Finance. 1t will be observed that our two prin-
cipal staples-sugar and rice-continue steadily
to advance, while most Of the other articles of
production have declined, showing quite plainly
that sugar is King, while rice may be styled it's
Prime Minister. The increase in the exports of
sugar over the first quarter of last year have been
nearly three-quarters Of a million pounds, and as
many estates are now taking off their crops, the
quarter upon which We have just entered will
probably make quite as large q showing. The
export Of rice is nearly double that of the cores
ponding period OF last year, while paddy has
fallen off TO q mere trife-a consequence of the
operations Of the steam rice mill. Besides sugar
and rice, only four other articles show an in
crease hides are in excess of the first quarter of
last year by 1920; peanuts, 2O,491 lbs; rum,
LOLA gallons and sheep, 90 head. The value
of our exports for the quarter are $40 ,l32.43,
some $50, 759. l6 less than for the corresponding
period oflast year. This is accounted for by the
decrease in the exports of wool, talIow, pull,
coffee, etc.

We have omitted any mention of fire and life
insurance premiums, as we have no data at hand,
but the amount annually sent out Of the country
and paid to United States companies from this
source must be quite large. The above figures,
however, which are quite legitimate, show that
since the treaty went into operation the people of
the United States, aside from the increased sales
of their products to these Islands, have from
other sources received from us over n million of
dollars per annum which they would not have
received had it not been for the treaty.
While we heartily acknowledge that recipro-
city was and is a great boon 10 these Islands, yet
it would certainly appear that the benefits are
not altogether on one side, and SO we think
American statesmen will conclude if they will
take the trouble to look into the facts.

E5% Book BINpMG.-Atter waiting
some years, and keeping together as
best we could, the files of our paper
published during that time, we, few
weeks ago, bundled them all up, and
started for Hagerstown for the purpose
of having done, what we had long ne
elected; viz, the binding OF them In
book form. Having previously made
arrangements with Mr. l.. L. Mentzer,
the celebrated Book Binder Of Hagers-
town, we carried them 10 his place OF bus
mess and left them in his charge TO az
range, as best he might, in bound vol
umeS.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Mentzer, came
over to our town, having with him the
books, eight volumes in number, bound
in the most complete, aud to US the
most satisfactory maner. Presenting
his bill, which was moderate III the eX-
IRENE, we paid him; and we now have
the satisfaction OF having our paper ev-
or since we started in the business as a
publisher, in a form that We can refer
at all times to, on matters OF interest,
data and importance, which have long
since escaped our memory.
Mr.. L. L. Mentzer, of Hagerstown,
the book binder,is a gentleman pleasing
and courteous i'll manner, and prompt in
nil business transactions. Having large
and varied experience in his business,he
is soliciting all work of his kind in this
community, both pesonally and through
lis agent, Mr.. d. S. Rentch, of this
town. We cordially recommend him
20 all who have books or papers that
they wish to have bound, guaranteeing
for them, prompt and faithful, as well
as satisfactory attention TO their bust
ness, and upon terms most reasonable,
Among those which we have had
hound, is the first volume of the Regis

Is THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DOOMED:

At the extra session of Congress, the
republican party leaders adroitly invei-
eled the democrats into spirited con-
troversy upon Estates Rights" which
they industriously and successfully used
to the detrimebt of the latter in the late
State elections. Now at the opening Of
this session We find one of the rule or
ruin spirits, Mr.. Bayard, coming for
ward with the following resolution:
Resolved, &c, That from and after the
passage of this resolution. the Treasury
notes of the United States be receivable
for all dues to the United States, frcepf-
ing duties on imports, and shall not be
otherwise a legal tender, and any OF
said notes hereafter reissued shall bear
this superscription.
We fad that upon the introduction
and reference of this resolution to Mr..
Bayard's (Finance) Committee, few
republicans joyfally pat him on the
back, to make him fierce and persistent
in his fatal move TO the harmony and
future success of the democratic party,
while the President and Secretary Sher-
man say now we fluid our enemy have
pnt their foot in our trap, we do not
want the question OF retiring the green
backs urged during this Congress.
What has brought the greeuback dol
lar up 10 par with gold? Its receipt by
the government for payment OF import
dues, and its legal tender capacity Tor
the payment of all debts
Why retire the government or peo-
pies money, and pay corporations
banks-interest on bonds, TO issue mon
ey Oh the government or peoples credit!
Has a government bond any more bind
ing force than government note !!
Does the existence of greenbacks do
away with or dispel one dollar OF gold or
silver? Is there sufficient amount OF
gold and silver in this country to carry
on lis business exchange? If so, we are
in favor of retiring all pepper money, but
so long as we must of necessity have
mixed currency, let it for the sake Of
humanity be made all alike by the law,
receivable in payment Of all debts, Pub
lie and private, and especially so when
the government or the people are di-
rectly and indirectly responsible for liz
redemption or payment.
Had Mr.. Bayard introduced resolu-
ton to utilize the thirty-two millions of
dollars of silver and other money now
living idle in the Treasury in paying off
u. S. Bonds which fall due in lSSO,an
funding the 81 bonds in 3 - per cent
bonds, he would have shown practica-
Die disposition to relieve the people, and
have worked greatly to the benefit OF
the democratic party.
