cease being producers, for the bene-
fit of the community as we'll as
themselves. Restriction of Chi
nese has therefore kept up their
wages and made this the Paradise
of the Pacific for them. Is that
the object ?
Having now to compete on an
even footing with other sugar and
coffee producing countries, in none
Of which do they pay $50 per
month to men who can mainly live
on half bag of rice, because they
know they cannot do it, any easier
than they can get water out of an
empty tank we therefore must
recognize the situation, and the
sooner the better. High wages are
an indication of a country's pros
perity, but it is the prosperity that
makes wages high, or surely our
prosperity would not have de-
parted.
Political economists tell US that
wealth comes from the soil, and
that non-producers are supported
by actual producers. May we
therefore conclude that an increase
of producers, or twice the amount
of production for the same money,
will not only keep our main in
dustry alive but stimulate many
minor industries now instheir in
fancy.
The labor question is in the
hands of our legislators and on it
depends the prosperity of this
country. Annexation depends on
our neighbors the people of the
United States, and without good
reasons, they would not tax them
selves for our benefit. Even so,
the day might soon come when
bounty giving would cease, and we
should be in another hole.
With cheap labor for taking
care of, and cutting cane, the pos
sibilities are, that not less would
be grown and wages of natives and
Portuguese for teaming, blowing,
ETC., would be good as they would
always have the preference, and
such cheap labor is only waiting
an opportunity to be allowed to
come and make a living for us,
and it may be confidently asserted
that wages will, and must, come
down, either by mutual con-
sent with the help of the
Legislature, or by force of the cir
cumstances which are crushing a
proportion of the plantations in
the latter case we shall have men
of various nationalities running
around for work to plantations not
yet "gone up" and if they could
find it, it would be at q low figure.
We may as we'll make up our
minds that the people of the United
States having stopped giving US
two cents per pound for sugar,
which means about five millions
per annum, will not again give it
to us for nothing; and consequent
ly we shall have to work for it, and
get it dug up, or do without it.
Yours truly, H.

Our Future.

Mr.. EDITOR: The question of
our future is having some thought
bestowed upon it, as evidenced by
: several contributions to your paper
of late. Allow me to quote some
points already given and to express
my views.
Mechanic" tells us "that the
history of the West Indies is in
structive; how that, when sugar
went down to $40 or $50 per ton,
a large proportion of the planta-
tions were abandoned, that general
business died, that grass and weeds
grew in hitherto busy streets, and
that sabbath stiffness rested on
town and country" and he asks
why this will not be the case here?
Why not +!
Mr.. Ashford tells us that "the
Sugar Barons are in hole and are
asking for help, although they do
not deserve it; that they are howl
ing for cheap labor; that no one is
worthy the name of Liberal unless
he keeps himself abreast of the
times and in the van of leading
questions of the day; that We are
at present under a monarchy, and
had better continue so until we see
that we can better it." The ''bar-
ons" are in a hole, truly. Are they
to be helped OUT by the men they
have been the means of supporting,
or are they to be buried up in said
hole?
Bull Frogge has laid before US
the magnitude of the ''black eye"
from which we are suffering.
Rev. Olesen has given the public
the benefit of his thoughts on profit
sharing; and, let me say, that
there is no lack of opportunities for
that desirable change in method OF
raising cane. Contrast 1t with
large gangs putting in time all
trying to do as little as possible fol
the highest wage attainable.
Mr.. Loebenstein has brought tC
prominence the Government lands
of Puma, as a possible means of re
tanning in this country industriou:
men who have saved money from
their earnings.
Doubtless we can all form somc
idea as to what five millions les
income per annum means to thi
community, and can understand
the necessity for retrenchment
both in Government and privat
business. The planters, now get
ting less than half their former ne
prices for sugar, must either &c
their work done cheaper or b
utterly ruined, and that too after
long struggle, during which tim
their earnings have largely bee
laid out in improvements individ1
ally beneficial to all classes.
The main question therefor
needs and deserves calm and car
full consideration, for there are bl
two alternatives, if prosperity is
be maintained. One is annex
ton; the other cheap labor. The
is no getting over this stubbol
fact, and claim that the evils
the latter course are largely ina
mary.
Our Asiatic labor has hither
been paid so much above
actual needs for livelihood tn
many in short time are able

The mammoth store at the corner OF

outside was only exceeded by those

Judge Kerr was engaged yesterday in.
hearing the case of the St. Paul Stove
works against s. f. Knauft. This is a
suit to recover money alleged to be due
on a subscription to stock. Mr.. Knauft
denies any liability. He admits that he
subscribed to seyenty-fiye shares of the
preferred stock and an equal amount
of the common stock, making a sub
scripton OF $l5,000 but on the condi-
ton that he was to be elected director
and also secretary of the corporation,
with a salary of $500 per wear. He
also complains that this ptlt of the
agreement has not been kept, although
he paid in S14.30O on account of stock.
The claim is made that Knauft is not
in duty bound to pay the subscription,
because the agreement with him was
not carried out.

chains of muffs, extending from column
to column; the drapings of Japanese
silks over the mirrors; the graceful
trimmings of the chandeliers with
costly India ShaWlS; everything add
ed beauty and grace to the scene.
The millinery department, generally
conceded to be the greatest in the North
west, is also on this floor. A great arch
of untrimmcd hats and festoons of ever
greens run the entire length of the de-
partment on both sides. Over the cases
where the fine trimmed hats are kept

French room is realistic Christmas

bed, Santa Claus has just come and
brought with him the Christmas tree
and the usual wealth of toys, etc. The
tables in this department. are all
trimmed with holly
The third floor is devoted to draper
les. curtains, rugs. fur rugs, and wall
paper, but its feature was the suite of
furnished rooms. While the furniture
department Is on the fourth floor, these
rooms were on the third, and at once
caught the eyes of the housewives.
They represented an entire house IN
terror, with parlor, library and three
bed chambers, all magnifcently fur
niShed and draped.
But the basement was specially re-
served for the children. There it was
that the Xmas display of dolls. toys and
games was made, and it was a veritable
StorehouSe for the patron saint OF the
children. There seemed suficieDcy

poses is to outline the many beautiful
displays and to compliment the liberal
