A SILKEN HINT.

Editor BULLETIN: IL believe with
you that the proper thing to do is to
diversity our products. We put all
our eggs into one basket; that bas-
ket has had a severe shaking of late,
and.the eggs are in danger of being
all smashed together. What shall
wedo ifthe breakup already occurs?
Can we get along without eggs?
Fried ham alone is poor back. Eggs
are q necessity in ice cream and
fine cakes. Eggnog without eggs
is like plum pudding without plums.
Foolish people, if we had made
prudent division and placed our
eggs in several baskets, the toppling
over of one basket would not leave
us eggless and ruined.
l know it is a very difficult thing
to make change now. Those who
are engaged in sugar planting have
invested their all in that industry.
Land, the preparation Of land for
cultivation, and machinery have
taken every cent they possessed,
and, in most cases, something more.
What can these men do in the way
of starting new industries now?
Their capital is all invested, and
they cannot, in the present state of
depression, get it back if they try.
They are compelled to stay where
they are, struggle on, make the best
of hard times, and hope for better
days.
If, then, new industries are to be
started they must be taken in hand
by those not already engaged in
sugar raising. Is there any unin-
vested capital in the country? Yes,
a plenty. Are there any industries
which this capital might be employ
ed to establish with reasonable pros
poets of profits? Yes, ever SO many,
as frequently shown by the news
papers.
1t is my intention, however, Mt the
present time to refer only to the in.
dustry which you, Mr.. Editor,
directed attention to a few days
ago, that is, Silk Culture. AS you
correctly said, the, experiment ha:
been already made on these islands
and the adaptability of the soil and
climate for the silk worm and its
food fully proven. Now, it seems
to me, that of the many new indus
tries advocated by the press, this il
the one which commends itself tt
the widest range of attention, chief
ly because it requires so little money
Scarcely anything that could b.
mentioned can be undertaken will
so little capital as silk culture. !

SILK CULTURE.

OILN UUIlUnEs
A correspondent makes an urgent
plea for the adoption of silk culture
as one of the new industries that are
generally admitted to be necessary
to the future prosperity of these Is
lands. We would earnestly second
his propositions. The proposed in
dustry, as our correspondent points
out, requires no large outlay OF
money and no appreciable expendi-
ture of labor. 1t can be carried on
as an experiment upon ground that
could hardly be used for anything
else. Its successful results are
nearly all profit; its failure, until it
reaches a stage when some may
stake their entire sustenance upon it,
would be no severe positive loss.
AS an article of export in the raw
state, the product of silk culture
would be a valuable increment to
the nations commerce. Manufac-
tured here, it would be a great gain
in several ways. A fresh invest
ment wonld be furnished for capital,
1t would be one of those much
desired manufactures, in which the
raw material is furnished by our own
people. Our youth would be given
new opening for engaging in skilled
employment at home, thus retaining
them in the country. A large
amount of money now going abroad
for clothing would be saved, while
the Queen of Sheba would not COM
pare with one of our Hawaiian bellies
arrayed in domestic silk, as easily
afforded, perhaps, as calico now is.
There is undoubtedly large amount
of capital held in comparatively
small amounts in many hands, in
this country, ready to be invested in
enterprises where reasonable assur-
ance of profitable returns is held out.
Most of the local enterprises hitherto
successfully launched, and of those
at present occasionally advocated,
have been to furnish some needed or
desired convenience or comfort to
the community. Like the existing
telephone system and the proposed
street railway, these enterprises are
not productive industries, but rather
consume certain proportion of the
country's wealth. They are simply
public conveniences and auXiliaries
to business, directly profitable il
may be to their owners, but only
indirectly go to the country. We
are always ready to advocate such
enterprises upon the ground of theil
necessity when that is apparent, and
to use as an argument for their pro-
motion the value they are likely tc
be as an investment. These modern
improvements and progressive under
takings follow naturally upon the
heels of growing prosperity. We
should prefer to see them established

10 Mr.. Gosman, Sec'y Of the School
Board, informs us that there was two
slight errors in our notice Of the proceed
ings OF the School Board of Jasper last
week. Mr.. Morganthaler gets but $3 per
day instead of $3.25. and the rental paid
the catholic church for the privilege OF
teaching catholic schools in their school
house Is reduced from 500, former rentsl
to $50 per term. He also says that the
grading of all the schools into five grades,
and assigning the scholars wherever
their capabilities will take them, with.
out regard to church connection, would
be advisable. 1t should certainly be
done.
