Hardened Liver.
Five years ago l broke down with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then have been unable TO be about
at all. My liver became hard like wood; my
limbs were pulled up and filled with water.
All the best physicians agreed that moth
ing could cure me. l resolved to try Hop
Bitters; | have used sew en- bottles; the hard
ness has all gone from my liver, the swell
ing from my limbs, and it has worked a mir
acle in my case; otherwise 1 would have
been now in my grave. J. W. MoREY, Buff
falo, Oct l, 1881.
Poverty and Suffering.
ST was dragged down with debt, poverty
and suffering for years caused, by a sick
family and large bills for doctoring.
1 was completely discouraged, until one
year ago, by the advice of my pastor, COM
menced using Hop Bitters, and in one
month we were all well, and none of us
have seen a sick day since, and 1 want to
say to all poor men, you can keep your fam
lilies well year with Hop Bitters for less
it."-A WoRKINGMAN.

Was there ever greater outrage?
The bonds, on deposit are all that the
holders of the notes have TO look TO.
The bond arc TO be sold in order to
raise money to pay those notes, if
dishonored, and yet the law pro-
vides that the very notes which the
bonds are being sold to pay, shall be
receiUed IN payment for the bonds.
If dishonored notes which the makers
can not pay, are to be received for
the bonds, how is cash ever to be
acquired to meet the notes? 1t
would be simply giving away bonds
which are worth something for notes
which are worth nothing.
There is no public necessity which
requires this. 1t can work nothing
but harm to the community, and
every citizen who takes interest in
the welfare of the country and of his
own pocket, should do his utmost to
defeat this scheme.

SPEAK OUT IN MEETING.

If you leave to newspapers to do
all the talking about gold law and
about the contemplated public out
rage of Mr.. Spreckels' bank charter !;
if you do all the talking in private
against the banking fraud and silver
currency fraud, you leave it to those
who are urging on these frauds to
say that you are indifferent or not
opposed to them.
Let the leading men of this town,
whose mouths are not muzzled, call n
public meeting and talk out and say
what they think. Delay may make such
an outspolen course of no use. Do
it now before the bank charter is
passed. Its friends boldly proclaim
that they are sure of the vote. If
you find yourselves saddled with
paper money, don't let it be said
that you were too timid to protest.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-31

able in gold. The charter does not
require d''y coin to be Kept on hand
IN The bank. Nor would it do to
say that the bank notes need not be
made legal tender. If that bank is
authorized to issue its notes, there
are few houses which can safely re-
fuse TO accept them. Have done
with this demoralizing, accursed mo-
nopoly business. We do not believe
that the King himself cares to hand
his Kingdom over to Mr.. Spreckels
and Mr.. Spreckels' Ministers any
longer. But he has a right to hear
from the leading independent mer-
chants on these subjects.

THE DAILY HAWAIIAN.

We extend the hand of fellowship to
the Daily HaaCaiian. In its issue OF
yesterday it has show its colors, and
lifted its voice with no uncertain
sound. If doubts existed in the minds
of any as to the ground on which the
stranger stood, such doubts must
now be removed.
1t would have been an insult to
its intelligence or integrity to suppose
that it could have taken any other
stand in regard to the Bank Charter,
but until it spoke, judgment had
necessarily to be reserved. If it
holds to the independent course now
pursued it will become q power in the
land.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1884-05-31

Referring to the above we.beg to in
form the business public that we are
prepared to make loans, discount approv-
ed notes, and purchase exchange at the
best current rates. Our arrangements
for selling exchange on the principal
points in the United States, Europe,
China, Japan and Australia are being
made, and when perfected, due notice
will be given. We shall also be prepared
to receive deposits on open account,
make collections, and conduct a general
banking and exchange business.

the PROPOSED BANK CHARTER.

l. lie charter WHICH OlauS OpreChelS
and his associates are asking the
Legislature to give them, is cover
to one of the greatest jobs ever
placed before this community.
In a nutshell, the proposition which
these suppliants make to the public
is as follows:
We are to buy 81, 1000, 900 of Gov
ernment bonds, and deposit them in
the treasury, drawing the interest
thereon at 6 per cent. Then we
will issue promissory notes to the
amount of 81 900, 900. We ask you
to make q law that those notes shall
be money, and that every individual
member of the public shall be COM
PEELED to accept these promissory
notes in payment of debts due. him.
We do not say what the promissory
note promises to pay, whether silver,
or gold, or paper. You must leave
that to us. All that we bind our
selves to do is to give you promis-
sorry notes which 'shall express upon
their face the promise of the corpora
ton to pay on demands.
The iniquity of this proposition
consists in the fact that it simply
makes Mr.. Spreckels and his asso-
ciates present of the use of 81 )
100000. 1t gives him the right to
take so much blank paper and by
placing certain signs and names
thereon to use it as 81 100000, and
to compel the public to accept it as
such. 1t would then be useless for
any one to attempt to compete with
him, for belieing the fable of the
small boy, this law enables Mr..
| Spreckels to eat his cake and keep
it too. He is drawing per cent. on
| 81, 900, 900 worth of bonds, and at
the same time has S 100000 to lend
out, so that even if he lends at 6 per
cent. only he is making 12 per cent.
on his money.
1t is not proposed to make these
notes redeemable in gold or silver
even. The only restriction is that
they shall be redeemed sin lawful
money" So long as there is a law
giving the public the right to demand
gold, there would be less danger
from this point, if the charter re-
quired, the bank to keep gold for
payment, but the power that can
pass such a law as this, can pass a
law repeating a gold standard and
making anything ''lawful money"
Once this charter is passed, it be-
comes vested right and cannot be
repealed.
The most astounding part of the
whole charter, however, is S 20.
This provides that if the concern is
bankrupt and cannot meet its obli-
cations, the Minister of Finance
shall sell the bonds which have been
deposited, at not less than par, and
out of the money received therefrom
shall redeem the notes. That is to
say, if the bonds can not be sold for
par, the holders of the notes will
have to go without their money. But
as if this was not enough, the section
