COMMERCIAL PAPER.

NOBLE WATERHOUSE has introduced a
very surprising bill against the use of
commercial paper as a circulating me-
dunn. Laying aside the fact that the
wording of the bill is such as to make
the prohibition apply to paper with
which the honorable Noble probably
does not wish to interfere, it may be
we'll to inquire into the working of the
main principle involved. The intro
Queer of the bill probably remembers
the crisis of 1879, and the important
part played by paper in tiding the bust
ness interests of the country over dis
astrous period. No one was obliged to
receive Messrs. Hackfeld's paper, nor
that of Bishop & Co. Yet people did
generally accept it; and the country is
better off to-day because they did so.
Has any one ever lost a cent by the
Hackfeld, the Bishop or the Spreckels
currency? If the country and it's bust
ness interests were again put on the
basis of 1879, what remedy does the bill
propose in the place of the one which it
prohibits? None whatever. It simply
prohibits an expedient which saved the
country and its interests from greater
disaster, in one of it's greatest crisis.
1t may be said, and very justly so, that
paper currency as a regular source of in
come ought to belong to the Govern
ment. But in what way will the bill
now before the Legislature turn any
revenue into the public treasury? 1t
only destroys what might be i'm
proved, without putting anything into
it's place. 4

WHY not bring up the Appropriation
Bill and have done with it, is the question
which the various representatives Of alb
solutism now ask. Why, indeed Since
the day of Richard H. who tried to fol-
low out the former royal practice of de-
ferring answers to petitions for redress of
grievances until the last day of the
session of parliament, there has been no
excuse for ignorance of the constitutional
method of requiring royal assent to pop
ular demands, formulated in acts Of
parliament, by postponing supplies until
the assent comes. Is it possible that any
wise friend of Hawaii wishes to see a
legislature which can ignore or fear to
use that ancient constitutional method
of securing the approval of its own enact
ments?
Whatever is done about necessary APP
preparations, the civil list must remain
in allegiance until it is learned whether
the King means to refuse his signature
to laws made by the Legislature with the
full advice and consent of the Cabinet,
and to work the veto power as means
OF expressing his personal wishes and
power. If that is the intention, the
majority of the House which controls
the purse-strings, if not the vetoes, will
consider what course will best conduce
to the general welfare.

ADHERENTs of the old regime are not
reformed by the recent changes in Ha-
wall, they see nothing in these changes
but evil, and if they could do so, they
would have the old order of things back.
Those who from selfish reasons made
professions of faith in the revolution,
and who have not got what they regard
as their share of public office or patron
age, are quick and loud in their asser-
tions of want of confidence Better 20
back, say they, to the old ways, these
are no better! But wherever you see
carping at the present methods OF
public administration, there you will
surely find longing for the old absence
of conscience in public matters, in order
to help forward selfish schemes which
the schemers cannot carry into effect
successfully under parliamentary form
OF government; or else you can discover
it's origin, in the conceit and weakness of
the carpers who think they have not
been sufficiently consulted and that their
notions and wishes have not been al
lowed sufficient consideration. The lat
ter class, as a rule mot including the
wilful mischief brewers), are ignorant of
the history and meaning of constitutional
an civil liberty, or they
would forego all petty considerations for
the grander views and possibilities.
They would prefer a healthy state,
healthy in its forms and methods, al
though not free from many faults and
whether due to ineXper-
fence or lack of judgment, to a state in
which no amount of good judgment or
experience could avail to stay its down
ward course.

LEPROSY'S faint.
A Warning Sent to the State Depart
ment by COnsul-General Putnam.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The astound-
ing statement is made by John H. Put
nam, United States Consul General to
the Sandwich Islands, that large num-
Der of persons afflicted with leprosy or
giving evidence of leprosy's tendencies
emigrate to the United States yearly.
The aggregate is much larger than gen
orally supposed. The report made by
Putnam to the State Department from
which these facts are obtained contains
an account of an experiment which was
made to determine whether or not lep-
rosy is contagious disease. The per-
son experimental upon was a native who
had been condemned to death, and the
sentence was committed to imprison-
ment for life on condition that he should
consent to incubation with leprous virus,
to which he agreed. The experiment
was conducted by DIR. Edward Aiming,
German specialist employed by the Ha-
waiian Government for that purpose
Year followed year, and the patient
showed no evidence of the appearance of
the disease. A few months ago the
President of the Board of Health and
the physician in charge noticed change
in the man. He was watched carefully,
and in their opinion plain symptoms of
leprosy appeared, but only within the
last month have they felt justified in pro-
nOuncing it leprosy. There are those
who insist that the disease may have
been in his system before vaccination,
but the fact that he had arrived at mid
die age before the operation places the
result to the credit of those who believe
it is CONTAGIOUS

There can be no question but that our
present silver and gold currency is the
best we have had for forty years past.
Formerly coins from every country
drifted here, making mixture of good
and debased money which was attended
with constant loss to every one. Now,
Hawaiian silver and American gold and
silver, being the only legal coins, we
have a currency which cannot be i'm
proved on, except as indicated, by the
issue of Government paper, to serve the
convenience of the business interests of
the country. That Government alone
should be the sole issuer of paper money
is evident for two reasons-as being the
most reliable security for final redemp-
ton of the notes, and as the only one
entitled to all profits arising from their
loss or destruction, which amounts to at
least one per cent. per annum of the
total amount issued. For these reasons,
we trust that if any action is taken by
the Legislature, it will cover the whole
ground.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-06-22

That Government alone should be
authorized to issue paper money will
be admitted by every unbiased person
as sound policy for us, in our present
condition and circumstances. What IS
required, then, is a law making provi-
sion for the issue by the Government Of
treasury notes of the denomination of
twenty, fifty, and one hundred dollars,
secured by gold or silver deposits in the
treasury, and payable to bearer on pre-
sentation. 1t is not necessary that treas
ury notes be payable in gold; silver will
probably answer just as well, at least for
the present, and the amount issued will
be governed solely by the surplus of
silver there may be in the country. The
main object is, to have medium less
cumbersome than silver-in other words
the paper money would be issued for the
convenience of the business of the
country, and whenever silver coins be-
come scarce, they can be withdrawn
from the treasury by whoever wants
them, on surrender of treasury notes to
the same amount.
