erect preserving factory both for
canning and preserving in glass.
Mr., Emmeluth has been exporting
canned pineapples in small lots for
three years to Boston, New York
and San Francisco. He lost $500
out of an expenditure of $1,000. Mr..
Emmeluth estimates that upon the
quotations he has received there
will be slight margin over expenses
after paying United States duty.
with strict economy and careful
management, and that il the United
States duty is taken off there will be
handsome profit with almost an
unlimited market for all the pine
apples that can possibly be raised at
the Islands for years to come.

exporters in 1892; has added $4,000
plants this year, 5000 being from
Mexico; expects to add 10000 next
year and $4,000 more in 1894; ex-
ported 5000 in 1891 and $1,000 this
year; average receipts, after deduct
ing California charges, would be 8
cents each; lost by exports in July
and August, and will ship none next

U. S. duty was removed, but sees no
hope of profit in face of 35 percent
tariff; has bought some of his fruit
for export from native planters, and
says if market were found there
would be an immediate and very
large increase of production in that
vicinity.

1000 plants, about half imported;
will increase largely next year If

fruit store in San Francisco, has had
no difficulty and anticipates none,

Report regrets absence of figures
from Kona, the district that has
heretofore produced most of the
pineapples raised in the country.
A summary shows pineapples in
the ground, exclusive of Kona, in
1892, $4,000; in the ground and

600. The report says: "With the
number of small planters who are
not enumerated herein, and the
number who are Interested in the
business but have not yet actually
embarked therein, there can be no
doubt that the abrogation of the
United States duty would cause a
million plants to be put in during
the year 1893. Recognizing the ad-
visibility of fostering this industry,
there is now before the Legislature
a bill proposing to remit all taxes
and duties on pineapples and the
machinery and appurtenances used
in preserving the same, which will
probably become law" The report
goes on to say that if treaty priv
Ieges are obtained in the United
States, an enormous business will be
created almost Immediately, as the
plants come into bearing the year
after they are planted. "The inn
portance of establishing this indus
try cannot be over-estimated, as it is
a business which lends itself natur-
ally to small farming, and with a
cannery in Honolulu at which small
producers could sell their pineapples

character of the population around
Honolulu, and for that matter
throughout the islands, for pine
apples grow almost equally we'll in

In the discussion on the report
guava jelly was accorded Importance
as an article that ought to be export
ed at profit.
Mr.. Baldwin read the report OF
the Committee on Manufacture
which was too technical in it's nature
for the general reader. He had
gained $3.50 in sugar by diffusion al
a cost in extra labor of 28c. and SD. 50
in coal, leaving profit in favor Of
diffusion of $l.23. The report gave
rise to long discussion, in which
Col. Spalding gave much information
from his own mill and his observa
tions abroad.
Mr.. Marsden thought the clarifying
system in vogue on the islands is al
wrong. The juice should be clarified
in one process and go directin to thu
double effect. There was no mystery
about it, but it was simply to linz
the juice whenever it came from thu
mill. 1t had been discovered a
Honokaa after long experimentation
and produced polarization of 81
percent in the sugar.
The President related his differ
ences with Col. Spalding over CLAIR
flying processes, remarking that eacl

were bent toward getting CERTAIN
ropy substance out of the juice.
On motion the report was accept
ed to take the usual course.
