about Gle. 900, 900 pounds Of the corn sugar,
and 81, 900 bushels of corn used daily, each
bushel giving 80 pounds of glucose. The
glucose sugar can be made with profit, it is
said, a two cents a pound.
This is a very serious matter in
deed, because the production of corn
in the States is practically unlimited.
Beet sugar, fostered by Government
| bOunties and high tariffs in Europe,
! has closed cane sugar out of the con-
tinental market to all intents aud
purposes; and the surplus production
from beets is finding its way to the
States and England. When we add
to this the competition of corn sugar,
or glucose, and reflect upon its posi-
bilities il will be very evident that
| the future of our sugar industry de-
| ponds upon cheap production and
heavy crops. The first includes
wages and the very latest improved
machinery; the second, the most in
| telligent system OfcultivatiOn. With
| the most perfect methods of prOduc-
ton and the most careful superin-
| tendence, it would hardly be possible
to place Hawaiian sugar in the mar
| ket to compete with glucose at the
extremely low price quoted above.
The Planters Monthly of October,
1888, estimated the cost of production
at 3 cents per pound exclusive of
''carting to the beach, freight to
Honolulu, and from there to Cali
| fornia, with two or three times of
handling, commissions in Honolulu
and in California, insurance, interest
on investment, etc" These charges
must always be borne; but We do not
anticipate glucose competition on
any such basis. The manufacturers
will always sell at the highest price,
and their opposition will simply
amount to the displacement of so
much cane sugar.

THE Two Orphans

The final performance of the San Fran
cisco Dramatic Company took place last
evening at the Music Hall. The fine play of
The Two Orphans" was present ted in an
agreeable manner, and the audience, which
was a very good one, were well pleased
with the performance.
1t is a matter of regret that this really
good company of artists should have had so
much to discourage them during their
season in Honolulu. They visited US at a
time when business depression disinclined
individuals from extending to them the
support that they have merited. The in
clement eather has thinned the houses
somewhat, and the death of the late Queen
Dowager has caused many to stay away from
all places of amusement.
In an interview granted by the King to
Manager RutlCdge, His Majesty expressed
his regret that circums tances had not per-
mitted him to witness the plays presen ted
during the season, and expressed the hope
that the company might again visit the
Islands.
We wish the ladies and gentlemen of the
San Francisco Dramatic Company pleasant
return trip, and assure them that they carry
with them the aloha of many.

FRIDAY May 18th
UNFAIR AND UNJUST CRITICISM.

When the Press was attacking
Colonel Spreckels on Saturday last,
because of his enterprise and success
full development of the sugar business
and transportation, we are surprised
it did not charge him also with being
in alliance with the glucose makers to
ruin his own investments. AS fairly
accuse him of that as of prejudicing
the Reciprocity treaty by sustaining
the price of sugar on the Coast. A
more mischievous or unjust accusa-
ton was never made. 1t was done,
however, to give handle to the OPP
ponents of the treaty in San Fran
cisco, who are personal enemies of
Colonel Spreekels; but the effect, so
far as it can have any, will be to in
jure the entire sugar interests of the
Kingdom. 1t is impossible to seq
regate those Interests, and therefore
whatever is calculated to injure
Colonel Spreckels in his business en-
terprlses i'm this Kingdom must also
injure all other cOgnate interests.
There can be no two opinions on this
subject. Wherefore the Press and its
newspaper allies are working steadily
to embarrass and injure those by
whose grace and patronage they
exist.
But the Press, in making its attack
upon Colonel Spreckels, had at its
hand the San Francisco Bulletin of
April 18th, which presented the eX
act facts of the case in an article on
'eCheap Sugar" The Bulletin is a
reputable newspaper, and as it had
not been by any means friendly 10
the treaty on general principles, it's
statement of the facts may be ac-
copied as being without prejudice in
favor of what a large section of the
California press terms 1.-THE Sugar
Monopoly" The Bulletin writes:
The reduction of 4 per pound made by
the local refners on April 9th, brings the
cost of refined sugar down to lower level
than was ever known before in this city.
The rate now is very near the New York
price Formerly there was difference of
about &c. per pound between San Francisco
refners- and New York refners. This diff
ference represented the cost of freight by
rail between the two cities. Of late lit has
been reported that sugar freight byirail was
reduced, owing to the great competition ex-

listing between rival routes. The arrange
ments between dealers and local refners
have been such that overland freights have
little influence on prices here. 1t has been
understood that the refners were prepared
to meet any change in the New York price
or in freights, so that dealers have had lit
tie inducement to patronize New York re-
fners in whole or in part. The local re-
fners consider themselves abundantly able
to supply and hold this market as against
all competition from abroad. Very little
Eastern refined sugar, therefore, finds its
way TO this city. The dealers do not pre-
tend to import it. Confectioners, Gamers
and other large consumers have bought
some of their supplies at the East, and will
probably continue to do so, as they can
generally do quite well there.
in other words, that which the
Press charges as an offense against
Colonel Spreckels really was a clean
cut business arrangement, which gave
control of the Pacific Coast market
to Hawaiian sugar producers. If his
busine SIS sagacity had not come into
been glutted with Eastern sugar, and
our planters would have been COM
PEELED to sell on any terms. But
they were first guaranteed the Ma
Mia basis for their sugar, and when
they were dissatisfied with it and
asked for the Cuba basis, that was
conceded. Being again dissatisfied,
they asked for return to the Ma
Mia basis, which was accorded. In
short, everything the planters asked
was conceded. That is, Hawaiian
planters were guaranteed the top
worlds price for their sugar, the
Coast refiners taking the chance of
realizing profits against all cOmpeti-
ton, foreign and domestic. This ar
rangement was manifestly in favor of
producers but the Press ayers that
the sugar makers of this Kingdom
have been grievOusly swindled be-
cause, in addition to the price of their
raws, the California Sugar Refinery
did not also divide it's profits upon re-
fined sugars among them. Could there
be any accusation more illogical or
unfounded than this Yet it is the
main count in the long Indictment
against Colonel Spreckels which the
Press brings against him. In truth,
the facts are very greatly to his
credit
The genera accusation of mo-
nopoly," which the opposition news
papers bring against the gentleman
named above, will be dealt with in
good time. And we promise before we
get through with the subject, how
ever, to show the people of these
Islands who have been the monopo-
lists and who have been their friends.
Should we say anything that may
seem harsh or severe of men of stand
ing and reputation i'll the commu-
nifty, it will be because the recital of
the facts compel us, and not because
we favor such a line of public dis
cussion. But the Press, Gazette and
Bulletin leave the ADVERTISER no
option in the matter. If, therefore
popular idols are shattered during the
investigation, their devotees may lay
the blame at the doors of those who
provoked the discussion, and whose
unmanIy and untruthful attacks
upon the most enterprising and pub
| lic-spirited man that ever set foot on
these Islands, compel a rigorous and
exact comparison.

The Trade Dollar to Blame.

Special Telegram 10 the GlO5e.l
New YORK, Jan. 31.-BInkers and mer-.
chants OF New York express various views
concerning the silver dilemma, many Of
them being exceedingly reticent upon the
subject. NIr. john Poudr thinks that the
silver trade dollar is to blame for all til,
trouble. ANY one could sce," he said,
''that this silver question would be forced on
Us sooner or later, owing to the immense
production Of silver in Nevada and else
where, but We could have weathercd the
storm bravely if We had maintained a stand
ard silver measure and had not been such
asses as 10 introduce the trade dollar. What
was the consequence of that measured Why
public confidence was destroyed, trade was
scared and bankers did not know whether
they stood on their heads or on their
heels. W. A. Camp, manager of the clear
ing house OF this city, WAS asked as 10 the
operation OF the law of 1882, fOrbidding
national banks to belong to any clearing
house which refused to receive silver certif-
Gates, and his answer was that the New YORK
clearing house had never refused them, be-
cause none had ever been offered to it. The
law had had no particular effect in this CITY.
The banks here had not been overwhelmed
with silver certificates yet, as demands for
payment Of duties and for shipments south
and west had prevented the accumulation of
them here. As 10 the sub-treasury being
member Of the clearing house, Mr.. Camp
said it was 50 only in so far as the exchaug-
ing and settlement Of balances were con
cerned. II had no vote at the meeting Of
the association.

The Womam Who Works at Home.

l notice, says Chicago lady, that in all Of
this talk about what is designated as woman s
labor, the everyday routine work Of the
housekeeperis ignored There is no refer
ence TO the work of the woman whose lives
are passed in home-making and home-keep-
ing. They are not considered as active
workers. They are regarded as a negative,
non-productive class. Yet the profession of
the housekeeper is regarded as the most nat
ural and proper avocation of woman. There
is no trade SO complex. None more diff
cult. Add to this the cares of motherhood
and what else can q woman engage in which
will as completely abs orb every energy of
which she is capable? To be a good house
wife and mother is By no means the occupa
ton of an idler. Perhaps my notions are
obsolete, but think the woman who creates
a comfortable home and raises children
worthy of manhood and womanhood is the
noblest work of God, and is quite as much of
producer as the woman who writes a book,
invents some machine, or follows a profess
ion Chicago -Ne,rs:
