THE LABOR QUESTION.

The Planters Labor Il Supply
Co. hold their annual meeting next
week, and the gathering must
necessarily be one of the most i'm
portant in the history of this COM
pany. 1t is to be hoped that all
the plantations will be fully repre-
sented. There is just one question
before planters which swallows up
in Importance everything else,
which is assuming an Importance
which it never had before, and that
is the question of labor.
1t is useless to deny that the
situation is very critical one. 1t
may be pleasant to cover up a
threatening danger with fine words
and deceive ourselves with baseless
hopes, but it is terribly foolish,
and the part of courage and pru-
dence both is to see things and
state things, just as they are.
What are the facts? They are
that sugar is at less than 81 cents
a pound-with no assured pros
pect that it will ever be any
higher; that a statistical examina-
ton of the current expenses of
Hawaiian plantations for the past
ten years would show that the
prices ruling since last April would
not cover the average expenditure;
that accounts of sales of some
of the best plantations show
an actual loss since May; that
the discount on the New York
price, the cost of freights, commits
sion and interest, with an ordinary
allowance for wear and tear of
machinery, are likely not merely
to eat up profits but to leave
most of the plantations with
a heavy Irish dividend at the end
of the year.
True, some one may say, the en-
tire capital of the country is in
vested in sugar; true, the destruc-
ton OF this industry would be a
heavy blow to all the industrial
classes in the country; true, too,
that sugar cannot be raised at pres
emit prices at profit. That is con-
ceded. But the present price is
abnormally low as it has been be-
fore. 1t will rise as it did before.
This is not the first time the coun-
try has thought itself ruined.
The answer to all this is, that
the present worlds price of sugar
is NOT abnormally low. On the
contrary it is very good price
better than has ruled as q normal
price for some time. There has
been no general overproduction.
The worlds stocks are not much
larger than at this time last year.
We cannot hope then that eeonom-
zeal causes will raise the price.
They may of course do SO tempo
rarily. What concerns US, in an
attempt to forecast the future,
is the fact that the probabilities

arrived, and we are convinced
bevond a doubt that it is the
quickest and best thing OF the
kind ever introduced in this
or any other country.
While the Little Wonder
Freezer is similar to other
quick-acting machines it differs
in one respect: it is success,
while others have not given
the satisfaction expected.
Among it's greatest points OF
excellence is the convenience
with which different articles
NAV be frozen without any
additional preparations being
made. For instance! In the
middle Of your dinner you
want a sherbet or a Roman
punch. Your cylinder having
already been filled with ice and
salt you simply pour the liquid
through a funnel, Turn the
crank Charley and it's done
in exactly seven seconds
whether you time it with a
Waterbury or a chronometer.
Later on, perhaps, you'll want
an ice cream. The cylinder
does not have to be repacked,
all you have to do is to pour
the prepared cream in at the
opening and turn the crank
| for seven seconds and you
have a morsel as good as any
ever made by Delmonico' s
Chef.
