SIR,-In a late issue, you published extracts from
letters from planters, touching the exactiOns they are
subject to in the disposal of their produce.
1t is a hopeful sign to see men when in difficulty
make searching investiga tiOns as TO the reason why.
When they have discovered the cause of their trouble,
it is for their intelligence to devise o remedy, and for
their manhood to apply it.
There is no question about the stuff our planters
are made of. The only thing wantin : to them is
cooperation. With that they would conquer the
position to which they are entitled.
For whom are they laboring /! For themselves /?
L think not. Not for them is the honey they make
or the ieeces they bear. What they are toiling for
goes to enrich Others who enjoy the pastime of shear
ing the flock and gathering the sweets of the hive.
Why should planters pay twice or three times the
amount of wages to their laborers for which there is
any necessity ? Why should they be made to pay
double the necessary cost for feeding their servants 3?
Rice can be laid down in Honolulu at three cents per
pound after having paid one freight from India to
Great Britain and another thence here, besides pay
ing u duty of ten per ceut but by the levy of a duty
of two and a half cents per pound, the price is arti
fcially raised to the planter to six or seven cents per
pound. Il this the way for planters to reap any
benefit from the treaty 1t appears to me that it is
not the way. But it is q certain method for agents
10 reap large harvests from the sweat and agony OF
long-suffering planters. Can not the planters see
that the additional price they get for their produce
through the instrumentality Of the treaty is swallow
ed u. wasted, by the exorbitaut and unnecessary
- rges levied upon them by Queen street or a small
portion of it ruling the country
One. of your contemporaries, in an excellent article,
as far as it goes, is for making another effort to
obtain East Indians through the Government, and
thinks it may be done through Mr.. Armstrong, late
Acknowledgement by instructions from the Board of
Immigration. The writer of that article must be
blessed with a very c~oufding nature. The writer Of
this was informed by a planter that MIR Armstrong
had declared in his presence ''that planters must
work with Chinese and Portuguese" They were not
to have East Indians. That was the fat of one OF
the Ministers. The others presumably bowling to
the decree.
Jove mods ! Does all Olympus tremble !

To The Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser

To The Editor Of the Pacific Commercial advertiser
SIR-The Gazette of Wednesday last deprecates
any criticism at the present time on the action or in
action of the authorities, which has resulted in the
introduction of that dread disease-the small pox-
into this community. 1t advises " action, prompt,
decisive action" That was just what was needed
months ago; now, however. it is a good deal like
shutting the stable door after the horse has been
stolen.
In view Of the experience of 1853, it is not at all
a matter of surprise that the natives are much
alarmed at the spread of the disease to-day, and that
in a mass meeting they should request the removal
of the present members of the Board CT Health.
When. on the arrival OF the Hermine. from China,
nearly a year ago, it was known that the small pox
existed at the open ports of that country from which
immigrants we're coming here in crowds, it was
plainly the duty of the Board Of Health at once to
have enforced the rule that all passengers coming
from China should be kept in strict quarantine, out
side the reef, until such time as all danger should
be passed of their having or communicating the
pestilen ce. But instead of this course, which COM
mon prudence she Id have dictated, the lying state
ment of q captain has been received without ques-
ton as to the health OF the ships company, and they
have been allowed to land and mix indiscriminately
with our people. 1t IS SAID mat NDen tue suggestion
was made TO the Board of H ealth. to place all per-
sons coming from c hina in quarantine, the reply
was 10 the effect that such q course would injure ouT
AGRICULTURAL interests, by tending to discourage i'm.
migration from China I! Aside from the sordid feel
ing ma nifest in preferring the agricultural interests
Of moneyed men to the lives OF the people-let nj
ask, is this Chinese immigration really a benefit t
the sugar planting interests? 1t is a common com
plant that the Chinese will not, If they cc- help Il
engage on sugar plantations, and that when hey do
they demand a rate of wages 30 high that tbs
planter cannot afford to pay it. A walk ibrougi
Maunakea and part OF Hotel streets, will SHOW yos
crowds of idle Chinese. apparently holding ous for
high rate of W ages. And it is well known toe, .ha
when they do engage under contract, tn fre4aeo'
ly desert, aud if they stay oui their terms o. boar;
service, can rar ely be induced to engage Tor anothe
term, but become itinerant dealers in eak gin, etc.
or set up in the towns as shoemaker, iailors o
storekeepers.
1 have no doubt. Mr.. Editor. that If a popula
vote were to be taken to- day as 10 the policy Of "a
couraging or otherwise the immigration Of Chinese
a large E,s;5s ity Ct the inLabitents OF 'hese Island
