In submitting the application
Minister Damon stated that the
former collector general had spoken
to him previously on the same sub
ject and had pointed ont that the
force as organized was insufficient.
On motion the matter was referred
to the finance committee.
Mr.. Emmeluth said he wished to
enquire whether contract had
been let by the government for a
pumping plant for the Makiki well.
Mr.. King said that the contract
mentioned by Mr. Emmeluth had
been given to the Honolulu iron
wosks for $4,000 The contract
called for engine, pumps and CORFU
gated iron house. The government
had boiler on hand.
Mr.. Emmeluth said that the reason
he had made the inquiry was be
cause as he understood it no con-
tract for over $500 could be let with
out publication. He thought the
government should be very careful
on this point.
Minister Damon said Mr.. En-
meIuth was perfectly right. He ex-
planned that in the present case it
seemed the Honolulu iron works was
the only firm that could do the work
upon short notice and without delay.
He had been down TO see If Whites
foundry had started yet and had
found it had not. The present case
wss one where delay could not be
allowed, and the government was
forced to take action. II there was
any blame in the matter he would
take his share, but the action taken
was necessary. Mr.. A. Brown found it
exceedingly difficult in supplying the
water demanded, and provision for
the future was necessary
AIr. Emmeluth held the plan
adopted was not the best. He
thought the steam pumping plant
should be centrally located. This
would give better results with less
expense than could be got cut OF the
plant if placed at Makiki- If the
plant was placed at lower lsEel. the
pumps would act directly on the
pipes. He stated these facts because

matter of the purchase of the kule-

it was probable that the purchase
would be consummsted soon. Cap
tain King had with his usual fore
sight and knack of saving proposed
that the immigration depot should
be utilized as site for the wash
houses The survey department had
already made estimates for
draining into the harbor, and that
this Improvement could probably be
effected at a cost Of about $1,000. The
present public works would foot up at
least $4,000. without taking in any
contemplated future improvements
Further expenditures will depend
upon how the governments revenue
comes IN later on
Minister Damon said that he was
exceedingly anxious to pay the notes
Of the postmaster general, which were
bearing heavy rate of interest. II
the present improved condition Of
the governments finances continued
he would be better able to pay of a
greater portion OF this indebtedness
at the end OF the year than the former
government was able to do last year.
The only item of Indebtedness of
the government of which he knew at
present was that CT forty thousand
odd dollars due the Risdon Iron
Works of San Francisco. All other
items previously mentioned have
been paid and he had written to the
proper persons at San Francisco re-
gsrding the settlement of the Risdon
Iron Works claim.

for the committee on the alcohol
bill.
Mr.. Emmeluth said he had been
informed that different firms were
Withdrawing large quantities OF slco-
hol from the custom house. He
wished to inquire of the minister of
finance If he was rightly informed.
Minister Damon stated that he
only knew Of $50 gallons which had
been withdrawn this was the only
return he lad received thus far from
the custom house.
Mr.. EmmelUth said ne saw no rea-
son for giving the committee further
time for manipulating the alcohol
bill.
Mr.. Brown explained that there
was no manipulation IN the matter.
Persons interested IN the matter had
asked TO be allowed 10 be heard on
their side, aud now liquor dealers
asked the same favor. A meeting
had been srranged with them, to be
held at his Office next Thursday after
noon. He also said that it took time
to reach these matters, as members
of the committees could not be ex-
pected to neglect their private bust
ness to attend to that of the councils.
Time was granted.
Minister Damon said he had an APP
plication from the collector general
asking that more guards be added to
the present force. which was insult
cient. He read the application as
follows:
FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
BUREAU OF CUSTOMS,
HONOLULU, b. /.
August Il, 1898.
:. NJ. DAMON, Esq, Minister Of FL
nance Provisional Government, II. /.
SIR: l beg to call your attention to
the necessity of an increased force Of
custom house guards in order to rea-
sonably execute the legal duties of
this department. Heretofore this has
been attempted by hiring extra
guards from the unemployed about
town and an occasional extraordinary
number of arrivals ut once will some
times continue to make this neces-
Sary. The efficiency of the service
however, in its every feature, de-
mauds that larger proportion of the
force be made permanent, conse-
quently, subject to call and generally
more reliable. With such an addi
ton as desire to our force l believe
that any special policing of the har-
Dor by the marshars department will
become unnecessary and be more ef-
fectiyely done by customs officers, as
falling more naturally within their
special line of duty. The additional
allowance necessary of ap-
preparation to accomplish this pur-
pose is $3.50. The actual disbursement !
would be something less as the |
average monthly outlay for extra |
guards would be considerably reduced.
/ trust the government may see its /
way clear to make this appropriation. !
1t is impossible to execute the clearly |
defined duties of the collector in the |
statute, with the means now avail |
able. For the remainder of the bien |
NAL period, say seven months, at the
rate named, the sum required would
be $3.50, or say in round numbers
s., 500.
remain your obedient servant,

Before reading the statement Mr..
Damon said that q new item had been
introduced into the report giving the
details Of the total under miscellsue
Gus This would be hereafter made

Continuing. Mr.. Damon said that
he was under obligations to the news
papers for giving him at different
times the opportunity Of explaining
certain matters connected with the !
finances Of the government
In the present case he found
himself under obligations to |
the Bulletin, through one Of
its criticisms. That paper had COM
planned that the present government |
was not spending as much on public
works as had been spent by former |
governments on public works. He
therefore took occasion to read the
following list OF improvements being /
made and already completed:

private enterprise would 9eel the
loss of one-tenth of its capital, and
the locking up Of the remainder,
since no bank dares to lend the
deposits that are left to it.
Hardly any enterprise in Tie
country, from the petty retail shop
to the great factory, bat is de-
pendent upon banking for the
money with Which it is conducted.
The drying up of credit throws all
in confusion. The country mer-
chant cannot buy goods of the city
jobber. The wholesaler cannot
make his usual purchases in New
York. The New York broker can
not buy of the mills, and the mills
must close, since they dare not c.
cumulate stocks of goods with the
prospect of tariff reduction staring
them in the face. All along the
line, enterprises of varying magni-
tude fall into idleness and unfruit-
fulness, profits stop, wages are re-
duced, men are discharged, and
families feel the pinch of poverty.
This is the result of withdrawal
of half billion dollars from tie
working capital of the country.
The cause is more simple. The
runs on banks are due solely to
apprehension in the public mind
that the standard Of values is to
be disturbed and the stability of
currency shaken by fall to the sill
yer basis. OF course that calam
ity is not deferred Or ayerted by
taking money out of a bank, but
panic is unreasoning and this is
the way it has chosen for ex-
preston. Fear of the silver basis
is the real root of the bank strin-

Farmers in various states are
feeling their wheat to hogs rather
than sell Tor the prices now ruling.
In Ohio hogs are quoted at from
S. to 81 per hundred, according to
grade, and it is estimated that a
bushel of wheat properly. ground
and prepared and fed with a little
other food to give variety, will put
from fifteen to twenty pounds of
flesh on a healthy hog. This being
the case, the farmer can easily re-
alize 81 a bushel for his wheat and
save the trouble OF hauling it to
market. In parts OF Kansas the
farmers are feeding wheat to hogs
and marketing their corn.

states, and recommended an in
ternatiopal agreement, fixing the
ratio of values between gold and
silver. In the course of lis ad-
dress, Mr.. Balfour said that Euro
pean bImetallists did not, like
':some bimetallists of the westeris
states Of America" aim at infa-
ton of the currency; but they be-
lieved it would prove the safest
commercial policy.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Dallour's
disclaimer Of political motive was
in entire candor. lie is. no doubt,
feeling the public pulse, as We
would call it in America, with
reference to the future policy Of
the conservative party, in which
he stands close to the head. Ii!
his expression last week should
meet with hearty response, it IS
not unlikely that binetal!isn will
be adopted as a leading feature III
conservative tactics. Such a
course would naturally turn Amer
lean sympathies to the conserva
tive side Of English politics. 1t
would be a strange union Of the
more or less wild and woody West
with the aristocratic classes OF
England against the bond holding
and commercial classes of botl
countries. There is a gambling
phrase about playing both end:
against the middle" which would

acted by law this depression
would have proceeded so far as to
plunge the country into a gulf of
gloom worse than any it has passed
through in the last half century.
This for the reason that the mo-
ment the reform seemed to have
been decided on by the lawmakers
of the nation there would be no
more confident and contented
capital invested in manufacture
ing. Confidence would be de-
stroyed, the wheels of commerce
slowed down to very tardy rate
of movement, the busy hum of
industry be sunk to mere
whisper, and that one Of discon-
tented people working on part
time and poor pay.
1t would be we'll for President
Cleveland to take the same pos
ton about the tariff question that
he does in regard to silver. OF the
latter he said in his message that
it rises above the plane of party
politics. So does the other. 1t
would be sorry victory for the
silver monometalists to gain what
they are contending for and ruin
the country. Equally it would be
a poor success for the Southern
democrats to carry out their tariff
reform at the cost of stopping
their manufacturing Industries and
thereby prostrating all other busl-
ness activities. We are now too
near the edge of the precipice TO
warrant the carrying cut of the
democratic premises to reduce the
tariff to free trade level"

THE ROOT or THE TROUBLE.

The root of the financial trouble
is the withdrawal of deposits from
banks. The extent Of this is amaz-
ing. The controller Of the cur
rency estimates that $177,000,O00
were Withdrawn from national
banks in the sixty days ending
July 18th, when the last report
was made Probably the with
drawaIs in the month that has
elapsed since would raise the total
to $300,0O0,000. There are no
statistics for Withdrawals from saw
ings and private banks. The total
deposits in savings banks in the
United States are about $l.700,-
100000, while the deposits in all
the national banks are about
$2,O00,O00,O00. Deposits in pri-
vate and state banks are about
81, ,OOO,O0O,OOO. Many OF these
are time deposits, and it is not
probable that SO large proportion
has been drawn out as from na-
tional banks. But $200,000,O00
is certainly a low estimate for
Withdrawals.
This makes $50O,O00,GOO, or
half Il billion dollars, drawn out OF
the banks Of the country in three
months-an amount nearly equal
to the interest bearing public
debt. or to the total Of the green
back and treasury note circula-
tion-an amount nearl Y Onc-third
Of the circulating medium Of the
United States. This is Il trcmen-
dous strain upon banking business
of the country. The only wonder
is that it has been borne so well
Money withdrawn from the
banks. it is understood, is ti;ker
out of active, fruitful circulation
and reduced to temporary idlenes!
and barrenness. Banks do no
take deposits to lock them up, bu
to lend the money again to pro
ductive enterprises and agencies
The effect of wholesale withdraw
ais is to paralyze these enterprise
and agencies. Banks threatened
with withdrawals contract thei
) loans to accumulate a reserve an,
, business suffers. When the draiI
actually begins, all loans ar
stopped and effort IS made to cal
