joices at every evidence OF advancement
OF human liberty in every quarter OF the
globe.
Rev. J. A Cruzan, the Orator OF the
Day, was felicitous in his illustrations
and historic contrasts, and enforced
much needed lesson, namely, that the
present time is the best time-intellectu-
ally, morally and materially - that
America has ever seen. He might have
gone much further, for the same remark
is true of the known habitable globe, and
there is not great deal Of it outside OF
the Dark Continent and New Guinea
that remains to be explored. And even
there, upon the fringes of savagery and
oppression, the light OF civilization Is
dawning, and in the advancing years the
men and women of those places will
come to understand and cherish as their
most precious heritage the grand gospel
of human freedom first proclaimed with
potential voice at Philadelphia, on the
4th day of July, 1875.

By reference to the foregoing table, it
will be seen that during the three months
just ended, the quantity of sugar exported
was 80, 661, 719 pounds, valued at 81, 124, 478,
exceeding the sugar export of the CORE
spending period in 1885 by 22,916,789
pounds.
The exports of rice amounted to 1,730, 800
pounds, an increase of 517 ,O47 pounds over
the quantity exported during the June
quarter of 1885; 6,9O5 hides, 9,040 punches
bananas, ,416 goat skins, 20, 1872 gallons of
molasses, "a boxes of betel leaves, POPS
sheep skins, 162 pounds of coffee, and sun
dries valued at $2,983 constitute the ex-
ports during the quarter just ended. The
aggregate value of these commodities
amounted to $4,248 PSI, an increase Of
$763, O99 over the export value of the cor
responding period of 1885.
The values of our principal domestic ex-
ports for the six months ending June 30,
1886 and 1885, respectively, are shown in
the following table, and also the changes
which have occurred with respect to the
increase and decrease of articles exported:

THE QUARTERS EXPORTS.

The statement of exports for the June
quarter, prepared by the Collector Gen
eral OF Customs, appears in another part
of to-day's ADVERTISER. 1t is of an emf
nently satisfactory character, and shows
a steady advance on the corresponding
quarter of 1885. And this increase has
been maintained not merely for the past
quarter but also for the first half of 1886.
Never before in the history of the coun-
try has there been so large an output of
domestic products In the same space of
time. The excess of sugar exports for
the first half of the present year over the
total domestic exports for the first six
months of 1885, was something over
$4,000 tons. The figures covering every
head of export for the periods in question
are:
Exports, six months, 1886 -. 81, sos ,296 80
Exports, six months, 1885. 49,. 6,124, 625 30
Excess in 1886 ..-....... 81 ,480 671 81
Considering that the population of the
Kingdom all told is not greatly in ex-
cess of $4,000 people, this result is some
holds first place. In the past June
quarter 80, $3.50, 719 pounds of sugar were
exported, valued at s., 124,4 78 q, being
22,916, 799 pounds in excess of the export
for the June quarter of 1885. There is
no doubt a limit to the productiveness OF
these Islands, but it is difficult to deter
mine this limit wherever water is
available. What is evidently needed is
to conserve our water supply, and
if possible utilize to the utmost
the subterranean reservoirs which Ma
ture holds in reserve for use whenever
the necessities OF industry render its
utilization imperative. This question is
one which must come up for practical
solution whenever the surface supply
has all been turned to the best possible
account for irrigation. 1t is not, how
ever, pressing at this time, and private
enterprise is solving it somewhat in de-
tail by experimental boring of artesian
wells. For the present, as a sugar grow
ing country, the Hawaiian Islands are
unequaled in productiveness, and there
sion.
Returning to the statistics furnished by
the Collector General, we find that al
though the rice export for the past June
quarter was considerably greater than in
the corresponding period 1885, it showed
decrease of 2O6, 1903 pounds contrasting
the two half years. Bananas likewise
fell'of on the past half year, while hides,
wool, molasses, tallow and coffee in
creased. But if there be one thing
palmer than another to any intelligent
person reading these statistics, it is that
sugar is the great source of wealth and
basis of the prosperity of the country.
This fact is incontrovertible. No doubt
other products figure in the returns and
aggregate very respectable sum; but
if sugar were stricken out of the Col
lector Generals statement the exhibit
would be insignificant indeed.

THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

The literary exercises at the skating
rink Yesterday were far above the aver
age on such occasions. The Introductory
remarks of His Excellency Mr.. Merrill
struck the keynote of the occasion. He
treated this great American anniversary
in a Catholic spirit. 1t was the celebra-
ton of an event which had advanced
human liberty, accelerated progress, and
rendered possible the orderly govern
ment of vast masses of men by intelli-
gence and justice rather than by brute
force and prescription. The Declaration
of American independence, so far as it
dealt with principles, belongs to all men.
Its bill of particulars refers to the griev-
ances OF the Colonists against the Brit
ism Crown, and is an appeal to the i'm
partial judgment of the world in justiti-
cation of their remuneration of allegiance.
The unanimous verdict of the world JUS
titles the United Colonies in their re-
bellion; and the public conscience OF the
British people to-day, at home and
abroad, is an accuser of the Crown and
an approyer of the Continental Congress.
And Minister Merrill was also fully JUST
fed in saying that the United States re-
