Development of FIJI.

1t is not many years ago since the
Ethan islands were associated in our
minds with cannibaIi~m, and even
now very little is know about the
progress of the people and their con-
MERGE. Altogether there are over
$50 islands in the group, but of these
not quite 100 of them are inhabited,
covering Z, $40 square miles, the whole
group amounting to 1904 square
miles. Although little was known of
them prior to 1850, they were dis
covered as early as 1643. III 1859
the king offered the sovereignty TO
Great Britain; the privilege, how
ever, was respectfully declined. The
offer was again and again renewed,
and it was not until the end of 1874
that Great Britain took she reSponsi.

Sir Arthur Gordon formally assumed
the government in September, 1874.
Since then the developments of Fiji
has been rapid and almost without
equal in the history of new countries.

Total foreign trade.

1t will be seen from The above that
the foreign commerce has increased
nearly ~lhreefold, the exports increas-
ing alone nearly fourfold, within the
short space of eight years, an unpa-
ralleled increase, and not surpassed
in the history Of any other country.
The imports have been principally
machinery, and more particularly
, 1885-10-31

that for manipulating sugal cane.
The increase in the exports of sugar
is most remarkable, in 1875 the en-
tire exports of this staple amounting
TO only SO tons, and valued at &3,417,
in 1883 they increased to 5,163 tons,
and were valued at 9l75,555. This
was again nearly doubled last year,
when it was estimated that the total
exports would amount to 10000 tons.
The equipments of the sugar plantn.
tons of Fiji are among the finest in
the world, one firm alone having
spent upward of $4,000, 900, the bulk
Of it in machinery and plant of the
most modern kind. The soil and eli
mate are specially favorable for the
culture of ~ugar-cane, and with its adj
vantages Of improved machinery it is
quite able to hold its W in the race
OF competition.
Copra, the dried kernel of the cocoa
nut, is largely exported, but a large
quantity of the nuls are imported from
other islands, The imports Of 1888
amounting to 1889 tons. The tN-
ports Of copra from Fir in 1875
amounted to 1897 tons, and to
Gao, 058 in value; in 1898 to 1892
tons and ES1,7 in value. The ex-
ports of cotton, however, have gradu-
ally shrunk since 1879, when they
amounted in value of G44,OO0 IN
1888 they were only 925,240. Coffee
is also successfully cultivated, the *
ports Of 1888 amounting to 210,2O4
pounds in quantity and f9,383 III
value. The quality of the coffee is
excellent, and great attention being
paid to the cultivation of the plant, Il
large increase in the exports may We
looked for. Tea has also been cult
waited with some promise Of success,
but at present il has been mostly ipm
experimental way. Tobacco is also
grown, but not /" amy very great
extent, thena ives having very litCIe
knowledge in preparing The leat for
the market, The soil and cIimrte,
however, is well adapted for It's
growth. Fruit is a profitable trade.
Principally bananas and pineappIeS
are cultivated, 10000 punches OF HE
former being shipped per month to
Sydney alone
Al tie present time there is u de-
preston in the trade of FIJI, princi-
pally caused by the low price of sugar
and the scarcityof labour Tor working
the various undertakings. The ma
tive population numbers $4,000, aud
increases very slightly in consequence
OF the great mortality among children;
35'2 of the deaths are those of children
under one year old. The increase of
native population in three years only
amounts to $50. The future OF these
remote islands vii! be watched with a
good deal of interest as an example
of the rapid progress of civilization.
Even now it is stated that nearly all
the young Fijia"s can read and write,
their education having been mostly
the result of The energetic activity of
the Wesleyan missionaries Brad
