SWEET CONSOLATION.

There is not much to fear in the
long run from the competition of
countries that have 10 prop up the
sugar industry with bounties from
their treasures. They must some
time be compelled to admit the folly
of trying to make wealth by taking
money from one pocket and putting
it into another. An industry that
stands on its own bottom will, when
depression comes, only lie down, as
it were, until the clouds have rolled
away. Being natural to the country
in which it is established, it must
needs revive when prices rise, for
untried industries cannot draw away
the capital invested in one that
under ordinarily favorable circum.
stances yields good returns. On the
other hand, where the industry is
only tentative and requires, while
the market is fair, to be fed with
public bounty, season of unprofit-
able prices is likely to destroy all
confidence in it. Sensible people
will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to convince their fellow
countrymen of the unwisdom of
neglecting natural industries for
those that require artificial support.
This is even now seen to be the case,
in a formidable opposition developed
against the bounty-fed beet-sugar
experiment in certain countries. A
consideration of the natural laws of
industry and trade, and of the sure
penalty of their infraction, should
prevent our sugar-raisers from put
ting on sackcloth and ashes in the
present trying period. This is a
sugar-growing country by the bounty
Of nature, while some countries,
making show Of competition with it
in the worlds markets, are only Ca
pable of producing the article under
high pressure. While the depres-
sion will, therefore, in their cases
discourage further effort, it is only
causing the planters OF this country
to economic in methods and adopt
improved appliances. Even now
some Of our sugar-growers are COM
pelling profit from their fields, and,
with the various reforms effected
under the pressure Of circumstances,
all of them will be enabled to make
larger profits than ever if prices re-
turn to anything like their old figure.
With the fall in prices, the consump-
ton of sugar is increasing enor-
mously, even though hard times is
the cry all over the world. There

staples take an upward start, there

NEW POLITICS AND new MEN.

EDITOR BULLETIN "A couple of
young men in business who have
read the late articles OH political
duties, and who intend to go
into politics when the time comes,
were discussing matters of public
interest the other evening. The
population question having been
taken up, it was agreed that after
the exposition of the wants of the
country made by Mr.. Marques in
the last Saturday Press, new men
ought to be called upon to conduct
the new start in politics. Further,
it was agreed unanimously that Mr..
B. f. Dillingham;, for his scheme of
private immigration; Mr.. Marques,
for his study of the population
generally; Mr.. S. B. Dole, for his
Homestead Law, and Mr.. Horner,
for his study on the money question,
ought to constitute our next cabinet.
1t was therefore decided to ask the
BULLETIN to propose the following
nominations
B. +. Dillingham;, Minister OF
Interior.
A. Marques, Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
j. M. Horner, Minister of Finance.
S. B. Dole, Attorney General.
If those gentlemen could be pre-.
vailed upon to serve the country in
the above capacities, they would
constitute the most homogeneous
cabinet hitherto given to Hawaii, as
their views on the most important
national questions appear to be 81
very identical.

is not much reason TO fear that peo-
pie who have become accustomed TO
two sugars in their cups when wages
are low will go back to one when
reviving times make them better off.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-03-19

A contemporary advocates that
this country raise its own fodder and
live stock for expectation as well as
for domestic requirements. From
the emphatic manner in which these
desirable objects were recommended
at the Planters Convention, good
promise was given that a fresh start
would be made thenceforth. Prob
ably the disease that is ravaging
horses on this island will initiate for
the time against enterprise in stock
raising.

COMPULSORY Kissing.

main point after all. Infants and young

when These Things Come in
my Way"

Only little while ago, | said to a
friend at my elbow
eve have done nothing for foreign
missions lately. You have always been
interested for them; don't you think
we ought to he doing something now p
"Well, calls come along once in a
while; when these things come in my
way, do something"
The tone and manner, more than the
words, told me he did not care to have
the matter pressed and so | fOrbore,
though my heart ached for those whose
voices seemed to hear in the dim dis
lance pleading for aid. And this not
from one of your Grabbed, clOse-tisted
men, but from a Christian; tender
hearted, sympathetic, and quite as lib
eral man as most III the community
in which he lives.
The words echoed and re-echOed in
my heart, "When these things come in
my way" Is that the way Christ treats
us ? Is it IA matter of careless inditfer-
ence to him, whether we need his aid 2
Is it only when it comes in his way, or
when some one presses our wants upon
his notice, that we are helped And
then do we receive only the mere pit
lance his prOfessed friends so often
dole Out-what they can ''give, and
never know it P
Why will not Christians make this
matter of giving more duty, systema
tie the matter of dispensing as they
do the matter of acquiring, seek to
know what the Lord would have them
do with what he has given them, not
wait for casual calls, and then quiet
conscience by a penny for pound of
what they may possess?
When Christ writes his own name
on our fOreheads, gives us his love in
our hearts, places in our hands his
wealth, and then says, "Feed my sheep,
feed my lambs" not the bodies only,
but precious souls the world Over,-
oh how can we turn away, forget 1T
all, grasp the means given us, whether
little or much, use it for our own pleas
IRE, and leave starving souls to starve
on still What shall we say when we
are called upon to render an account of
our stewardship hereafter Why not
nOlU render unto the Lord of what he
has given us, wisely, judiciOusly, us
we please, but regularly, earnestly,
seeking to know what he would have
lis to do Will not our pillow in death
be easier with less gold, silver, or
brass even, beneath it, and more of the
prayers and blessings of Christ's needy
