Hay ED, 1898.

There seems to be a growing
desire on the part of a major
ity of the people on these
islands to buy goods from us,
and our desire to sell them
grows also. Last week, we
had to employ extra men to
assist Us in handling an un-
usually large volume Of bust
ness; the Australia. Amy
Turner and IS. n. Castle"
having arrived during the week
with enough goods for Us to
stock any ordinary store. Peo-
pie who have entertained the
idea that business" has been
out in the mountains gathering
ohelo berries during the past
few months will discover their
mistake if they will come into
our store any day; we have
been hard at it all the time.
On the Castle" we had a
new lot of Fischer Steel
Ranges of a much superior
quality than any we have had
before; the steel is of double
thickness, and all parts are
finished in the best manner.
1t is acknowledged by cooks to
he the hest rance made. on ac-
count of their quick heating,
economy of fuel and superior
baking qualities. We sold
twelve of them between We'd
nesday and Saturday last; we
will sell double the number
during the present week.
The demand for the Hendry
Breaker does not diminish;
every few day we get orders
from managers Of plantations
who want to simplify their
work and get the largest
service with The least supply
of mule force. 1t is pretty gene
rally understood now II days
that the Hendry Breaker is the
only pillow that fills the re-
quirements. Where six and
eight mules we're formerly
used in blowing four and six
now do the work and gambol
over the green sWard at the
end of the day like delegates
to Il democratic convention.
AS humanitarians we are pleas
ed to think we have done
something that brings Joy to
the heart of a mule.
We can fill orders at all
times for II, Il on Is inch

ten years, on which the entire loss
may have been $4,000. This
leaves total of $S50,000 silver
coin to be accounted for and called
IN, whenever a change shall be de-
cided on. This sum is now in the
hands of the banks, the govern
ment, and the people.
In case a change OF currency
shall be decided on, all that is in
circulation may be called in and
replaced with American silver coin
which corresponds in fneness,
weight, and value with the Hawai-
ian. But how shall it be done
The following suggestions ap-
pear to US feasible. AS it can best
be done by a bank, bank may be
authorized to make such arrange
ments with the Treasurer of the
United States, regarding the cost
OF exchanging our coins for those
of the United States, as shall be
best to facilitate the exchange at
the lowest cost possible.
1t will take time to effect this
change, but when the preliminary
arrangements are perfected, and
American coins are ready to be
given out for Hawaiian, the work
would proceed steadily, and pro-
badly without the least disturbance
or inconvenience to business. This
could be accomplished as readily
before as after annexation.
The cost of effecting this change
of currency would depend entirely
on the charges of the bank and OF
the United States Treasury depart
ment. But that it is practicable,
there can be no doubt.

THE ROLOMUA AFTER Mr..
STEVENS.
He Was Expected to Play Lick
spitfIe to Royalty

MIR. EDITOR The extreme sour
rility of the English page of the
ex-queen's organ, the Hol0mua,
renders any controversy with it rs
hazardous as one with renowned
distributor of mephitic excretions.
1t is sometimes necessary, how
ever, to take long shot at such
vermin. The last number directs
its usual discharge of effluvium at
Mr.. Stevens, in the course of which
emission appears semblance Of
argument, one so much used by
the partisans of the late mon
archy, as to justify notice. a
quotation of the following words
will sufficiently express that argu-
ment:
And last, the duty common to
all diplomats devolved on him,
that of ingratiating himself into
the personal favor of the sovereign
and her government, so that his
influence, and thereby the infu-
ence of his country would become
supreme over all other influences.
What was that to him Off
cially or privately if the Hawaiian
government was semi-heathen, or
grossly spurious, or anything else
so long as it fulfilled It's treaty
obligation, etc? ?"
PROFESSIONALLY, the above does
not describe Mr.. Stevens concep-
ton of his duties, nor, l would
trust, any other American repre-
sentative's conception of them.
Few Of them, believe, are capa-
BILE of becoming lickspittles to a
semi-heathen queen.
The point to be made, however,
is this, that the Hawaiian mon
archy occupied an entirely excep-
tional position in its relations to
civilized foreign powers. It was
just emerged from semi-savagery.
1t was granted independence as an
experiment, out of regard to the
nations earnest adoption of Chris
tan morals, civilized laws and con-
stitutional government The mon
archy was on its good behavior. 1t
was wholly dependent on the ap-
probation of its conduct by foreign
powers, especially by America. Mr..
Stevens, as American minister,
faithfully did his duty in repeat
! eddy and solemnly admonishing
the queen to adhere to constitu-
tional principle. It was his duty
to act as a mentor. She derided his
wholesome counsel, and lost her
throne.
There is no better illustration OF
the moral blindness of the royalists,
than their failure to perceive that
the continued rule of a monarchy
such as Mr.. Stevens so accurately
describes, had become impossible
in the presence of the powerful and
cultured white population of these
islands. No special gift of proph-
ecy is necessary to see this-only
a degree of moral sense somewhat
above an animals.
Before dropping the subject, let
me call attention to the fact that
Mr.. Stevens specific charges
against the queen are not at
tempted to be denied-as they
cannot be.
COMMON DECENCY.

THE constitution of the United
States has probably been quoted
the world over more than any other
public document of modern times.
1t has been appealed to by the
liberty lovers Of all nations striving
to make themselves heard against
oppressive forms of government,
out of harmony with the growth
and development of civil liberty.
Probably its present translation
and publication in Hawaiian is the
first. instance where it has been
used to promote the political well
fare of semi-civilized nation. Its
broad, just and humane provisions
will quite likely do more than any
other form of argument to wean
native Hawaiians from the narrow
political schemes of their self
constituted foreign leaders. Once
teach the natives the forms and
safeguards of liberty and they will
never rest until they grasp the sub
stance.

OUR SILVER CURRENCY.

The Hawaiian silver currency
has been brought to notice lately
by Hon. s. NJ. Damon, as a matter
that should be settled with or be-
fore that of annexation. The main
question is-what shall be done
with our Hawaiian silver, in the
event of annexation?
The facts appertaining to the sill
yer currency are these. The amount
of coin provided in 1884, less the
charges of coming, commission,
ETC., was 100000 or thereabouts.
Of this the SUN of say 100000 is
in the government treasury for the
redemption of treasury notes in
circulation. Besides this reserve
there are also 100000 in Ha-
waiian quarters, that have never
been issued for circulation, because
they are not wanted.
Coin and also paper money in
circulation sustain an annual loss
from various causes, which ha:
been estimated at from half to ono
per cent. per annum in other coun.
tries, and probably the loss is a:
great here as anywhere. Deduct
ing the above amount of quarters
now in the treasury, the coin or its
liver substitu ties in circulatio n
have been 100000 for the pas

THE trouble with the familiar
royalist, who has again projected
his personality into the editorial
columns of the Bulletin, seems TO
be that somebody else is drawing
military salary. This causes an
unrequited itching in the palm of
the military royalist who is ''not in
it," 1t is limited in political circles
that the occasional military editor
of the evening royalist journal once
showed his superior ability as a
strategist by timing a certain coup
d. etat so that in case of failure
handy steamer would be leaving
for foreign shores. Perhaps the
colonel without the-rank-of COM
mander-of- the-forces would be in
command now, if he had not for
feited the confidence of "mili-
tary circles" AS it is he finds him
self reduced to writing warlike
editorials without even the salve of
a salary.

THE ADVERTISER violated no con-

garbled copy. The "cold fact" which
remains is that some one either
connected with, or in the confidence

than usual to escape the unpalata-

STOLE TO GET FOOD.
Wife and Children Were Starving and the
Husband Gould Get No Work.

Husband Gould Get No Work.
One night last week John Smull, re-
siding in Philadelphia, unable to get
work, found himself surrounded by his
wife and three helpless children who
were crying in anguish, tortured as they
were by the pangs Of hunger. Without
q particle of food in the house, with no
money to buy provisions, and having
pawned the last article Of furniture on
which money could be realized, the hus-
band and father in despair seized his hat
and disappeared in the darkness.
Soon after dawn he resppesred with
little bread and a small piece Of meat,
which ne gave to his furnishing family.
He had stolen q few trihing articles,
pswned them, and with the proceeds,
purchased food TO keep the wolf from
his door. For that offense he is now
committed to Moysmensing prison, being
held for trial in default Of 81, 800 bail.
Smull is an engineer, but has been with
out work for many weeks. His family
consists Of Q wife and three boys, two
twins aged two years, and the older boy
aged eight years. The means Of subsist-
ence were obtained for time by obtain
ing advances upon the household effects.
A bedroom suit which had cost $40 was
disposed Of for 81; bed springs which had
cost s. were sold for 65& rs, and a
quilt for which 1915 had be- cid
brought 81. Tables, chairs, dishes, every
thing, went until their house was with
out carpets and almost bare Of every ne

cessity. A little bedding was retained
and spread upon the floor.
For three days the family was entirely
without food. Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday all the members suffered hor-
ribly, and to add to their distress they
were without fuel and light. Tuesday
night Mrs. Smull asked sneighbor, Mrs.
Graf, for something to eat. Then 1t was
that Mrs Graf ascsrtainsd their horrible
condition. "The wife and children were
crying" said Mrs. Graf, sand they
trembled. The children were on the
floor, being too weak to stand. When I
gave the little ones food they grabbed
it and devoured it as greedily as would
hungry hogs at a trough. Notwithstsnd-
ing all their poverty the house and the
children were kept scrupulously clean. =

Smull took her children to Trenton,

coin utterly failed in the republic Of
Venice. The government adopted q
paper credit money which filled every
requirement, making Venice the center
Of the worlds commerce for period Of
600 years. During all that time the
book credit, or bank funds, ruled 20 per
cent. above coin, and there was not a
money panic in the country during the
entire SIX centuries. In 1776 coin failed
in this country. Without any Of the
necessary conditions for the success Of
paper currency, our fathers adopted
paper which saved the country and gave
US our American liberties. In 1897 coin
utterly failed in England. The parlia-
ment adopted a paper currency, which
Mr.. Alison stated saved England from
becoming "a province Of France" )" In
1918 coin failed on the continent OF
Europe. England, Russia and Prussia
issued joint paper money which saved
the continent Of Europe from the power
Of Napoleon. In the United States there
were twenty issues Of treasury notes be-
fore the late war. Those issues were re-
ceivsble in the revenues OF the govern
ment, and were always preferred to coin.
During the war we had various forms OF
war currency. OF all that currency
which was receivable in the revenues was
at all times as good Rs gold as long as it
circulated.
Money, then, is not a product Of ma
ture but the creation Of law. It's value
does not depend on the value of the
monetary material but on the values that
are behind it. 1t must rest on re-
ceivRbility in the revenues of RESPONSE
bic government, and on the quality OF
legal tender. Such a money, whether
metal or paper, will be gladly redeemed
by all men with all the commodities they
have for sale. Such q money is pre-
cisely as good as the issuing power, and
during the existence of the issuing gov
ernment, proper paper money as is
here described, is uniformly preferred to
coin. There is no exception TO this rule.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness 10
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustaohian tube. When
this tube gets infRmed you have q rum
bling sound Of imperfect hearing, ,,and when
il 10 entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be restored forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh

Now let us mark the following results
of a struggle between hard and soft
money in time Of war. It began in 1881
'98. It closed in June 1915 at Waterloo.
Napoleon and hard money went to the
wall. Napoleon went to st. Helena IS
an exile. England and her soft money
triumphed. England became mistress OF
the ocean, she acquired an empire which
encircled the globe and dictated the
policies of the continent of Europe. Mr.
Alison sscribes these successes and tri-
umphs to the paper money system OF
VIM. Pitt, and says that without it "Eng-
land would have long ago became a
province Of France"
In an eighteen years struggle between
hard and soft money the soft beat the
hard with sll the advantages on the
other side to start with.
And it may be stated further, in order
to make the case more emphatic, that in
1873 1913 coin money utterly failed on the
continent Of EGI0pe. Napoleon was
carrying everything before him. The
allies were falling to pieces for want OF
the means to maintain their troops. To
meet the emergency, England, Russia
and Prussia issued joint paper money,
which passed as cash from the Rhine to
Ksmschatks, and as far from home, says
Alison, "as the wall Of China" It
answered every monetary purpose and
saved the continent Of Europe from the
power Of the conqueroI.
While on this subject l will notice an
other revolutionary currency which is
sometimes pointed to with great derision
and an air Of triumph as q notable ex-
ample Of the failure Of paper money. |
allude to the continental currency Of the
American revolution. After my state
ment of the necessary conditions for the
success of paper money, the matter will
be easily understood. The old confeder-
sCy possessed none of the conditions
requisite for the success Of paper
money. 1t was not sovereign govern
ment and it did not collect revenues. It
could neither confer the quality Of legal
tender, nor receive it's issue in the pay
ment of taxes, as it collected no taxes.
The bills were over issued by the con-
grees, because their only resource for
money was to print bills and ask or order
men to take them. The notes were poorly
executed d and easily counterfeited. And
they were counterfeited by the ship load
by the British government, as the assign
mats were afterwards. The whole story
10 fully and truthfully told in Bolles'
Financial History Of the United States"
pages 15O-1-2-3 as follows:
Counterfeiting, however, was not con-
fined solely to individuals. The British
government also embarked in the business.
General Howe abetted and pstronized those
who were engaged in making and pushing
these spurious issues into circulation. In
the same papers which published British
official documents and proclamations might
be found advertisements like the follow
ing:
Persons going into the other colonies

couuterfeited congress notes for the price
Of the paper per resm! They are 30 nearly
