more than to strangers. Such considerations
as these form the basis of community life, with
out them 1t could not exist, and in proportion
as they are ignored so far do we depart from
the true interests Of civilized life. The prac
ticc We have. referred to is of this nature in
essence, though measured by degree it may at
present be of no very great consequence, still
we think it deserving of notice and reprehen-
sion, as tending to injure certain other branches
of business here which should indeed be pro-
tected. Retail dealers have established them.
selves here in anticipation of patronage from
such as are residents, and who may require
anything in their line. II they carry an as
sorted stock in trade, il is to meet the varied
demands of their customers, and in reality is
meant as an accommodation which they have
a right to suppose will be taken advantage of.
Is it to wondered at then, that store -keepcrs
who are industrious in their efforts to supply
for their customers all articles of trade that are
likely to be asked for, should feel themselves
agrieved by the actions of such of the COM
munity as would withdraw from them their
custom, down TO the most insignificant orders
to be sent for to San Francisco
No one would complain if orders were sent
to the coast for such goods as were not pro-
durable here, or such as were procurable there
at rates very much below what are charged
here. This, however, is not the case. Articles
common as to the trade, and insignificant in
value are sent for, which could be readily got
here, and at prices as low, if not lower, all
things considered, than are asked for the same
things in San Francisco. If such practices
are to be kept up and allowed to go on in
creasing as they have done lately, it will not be
long before it will actually become necessary
to send to the Coast for these things, for it is
hardly to be expected that retail dealers here
will keep in stock things that are seldom
called for, and perhaps people may eventually
be compelled to send away for a shirt collar Of
a certain kind, straw hat and such like,
which they would then find very awkward.
And we hold, it is not very good business
policy in the owners of vessels to allow of this
kind Of trade being carried on by persons in
their employ, for the trader, feeling himself
agreved. is certainly not so likely to patronize
such vessels as he would Others whose officers
adhere more strictly to their legitimate bust.

in such cases, in some form or another, is
natural, and to be expected.

ONES SELF IN TRADE.

The practice has become quite common
now Of sending small orders to San Francisco
through the captains Of certain packets plying
between that port and Honolulu, and is natur-
ally complained Of by resident importers. and
by small dealers generally. No one questions
the legal right Of others to send wherever they
please for their supplies; but there are ques.
tons Of policy and espedience which should
always be looked at in connection with such
matters as this; and each one owes to the other
