There was very little prospect OF
the United States tonnage bill be-
coming law at the short session of
Congress in December. If this
company had the Atchison line be-
hind it, something more was requir-
ed to prove it than the statement in
the circular. That the railway
company would advertise the ISL
ands was nothing more than any
other company would do if furnish
ed with the material. The Oceanic
company was doing it all the time.
The Oceanic line was running to the
Colonies in the face of the with
drawal of support by the New South
Wales Government, and the through
steamers were probably running at
a loss, so that it would require all
the profit on the intermediate steam
er to maize up the shortage on the
others. Therefore he would con-
slider it very injudicious to withdraw
any of our support from the Oceanic
20. AT UnlS JullcJuTc.
Rep. White saw nothing but gas
in the arguments against the
amendment, while substantial rea-
sons had been given for its passage.
What would be saved on sugar
freights would be large item. He
had piece of land on Maui that
would produce 400 punches of ba-
nanas, but there was nothing in
growing them after sending them to
Honolulu and paying 75 cents
freight to San Francisco. With the
new line there would be profit for
himself and other small landholders
in bananas, as they could ship them
to San Francisco at fifty cents a
bunch. The new line had already
reduced the price of hay and feed.
He could not understand the oppo-
sition of Honolulu members, and it
might be necessary for the country
members to bring them to their
senses as they had done the other
day, when the city members tried to
cut down appropriations for roads
and bridges in the country. The
new line would be the means OF
bringing in more labor. He moved
the previous question. Carried.
