The present political crisis,
while having a general bad eff

interfered with certain lines.

are doing more work in i'm
provements than for two years,

We keep getting orders for
HENDRY BREAKERS, that's a
tickle. We give the p. G..

there's another tickle, and the
plantation man who uses the
Breaker is tickled almost to
death.
1t was only a couple of years
ago that the HENDRY BREAKER
was given a chance to show
itself at Paul Isenberg's ranch;
it jumped into popular favor
then, and has maintained its
position ever since. When a
man buys a certain article and
afterward adds nine more to
his stock, it is pretty good
evidence that the article is
satisfactory. That's what hap
pened the HENDRY BREAKER.
Recently, the manager of a
certain plantation was chang
ed to another locality. He
had been using our Breaker; at
his new place, another make
of pillow was in use, almost the
first thing he did was to send
to us for two HENDRY BREAK

SUGAR STATISTICS.
Hawaii vs.. Louisfaua-San Fran
cisco Imports.

An Eastern exchange presents
the following on the sugar produc-
ton of Louisiana and the Hawaii
an Islands:
Below is presented the figures
recently complied by Messrs. Will
let & Gray, sugar statisticians, in
dicating the relative positions of
Hawaii and Louisiana in the cane
sugar producing world. Louisiana
has reached a production above
that Of ante-bellum days, and with
the promise now of doubling her
present production within five
years, if no adverse Legislation be
had. Louisiana will produce half
a million tons Of sugar in 1898,
and million tons of sugar in 1908,
if she progresses under present or
equivalent legal conditions, and
this can be done without cultivat-
ing an acre of land in sugar cane
that has not been in sugar cane
within forty years.
Hawaii formerly made but lit
tie sugar, but the Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty, made in 1876, was
the turning point in their industry,
and since then they have made
enormous strides.

ROYALIST POLITICS.

Hawaiian politics are filled with
peculiarities. One of the most
noticeable of these is the rapidity
with which political discussions de-
generate into mere factional or per-
sonal squabbles. Contradictions
ana inconsistencies consequently
arise on every hand. Hard lying
too often takes the place of plain
truth and just words are blown
away in a gale of scandal. Lo,
never yet has a political campaign
been fought in Hawaii nei that it
did not begin under the guise OF
principle" and end behind the
mask of personal and factional
abuse. The times have not mended
since the question of annexation
arose.

IN SOUTH KCT3.
The Natives Form an AnneXa-
ton Club.

The intelligent natives of Hoo
kena, South Kona, Hawaii, formed
an annexation club on May 9Th
and elected their officers as fol-
lows: President, S. NJ. Kekoa !;
vice president, Thomas Bright ];
secretary, w. J. Wright; treas
urer, T. X. R. Amalu. The exc
cutive committee are Messrs. S.
NJ. Kekca, Thos. Bright, w. J..
Bright, 4. K. r. Amalu, Rev. G.
w. Waiau, II. J. Ahu and John
Kauwe.
It was decided at that meeting
to hold a mass meeting on the
18th inst. at Hookena, to hear adj
dresses in favor of annexation
from Rev. G. w. Waiau, Rev. d.
X. Mehenla, English school
teacher, T. K. r. Amalu, Thos.
Bright, w. !. Bright and s. NJ
Kekoa.
So far over fifty names have
been placed on the annexation
roll.

Here their inconsistencies become
palpable and pitiable. Incapable
of maintaining native government
under the monarchy, they madly
hope to convince the world it was
overthrown by the interference of
the American minister. This
they would do by system
of indecent, vulgar and witless
personal attack upon Mr.. Stevens,
which has lately reached a pitch
of insane folly that would warrant
either governmental or inter
national interference and punish
ment. Their inconsistency, how
ever, does not stop here; they as
viciously and persistently attack
all reputable native Hawaiians who
support annexation.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-13

ADvICEs received by the last
mails state that there is a growing
stringency in the American gold
market, bordering on a panic,
which the government at Washing
ton is endeavoring to meet by every
means in its power. The drain of
gold is to Europe, where it is ac-
cumulating in the treasures of
France, Austria, Germany and
Russia. Various causes have been
assigned for this steady drain. One
is excess of imports from Europe,
which excess is stated to have been
over sixty millions during the first
three months Of 1898. This, how
ever, can not be the only reason.
Another and probably more potent
factor is the continued purchase of
four millions of silver every month,
thus increasing the already enor-
nous amount of silver in the gov
eminent vaults, paid for by the
issue of treasury certificates which
have always been redeemed in gold.
If this course continues, it will
drain the treasury of its gold and
cause a renewal of the gold premi-
um era that followed the civil war.
The amount of silver lying idle
is several hundred millions in value,
and this is the chief cause of the
disappearance of the gold. The
poorer currency will always drive
away the better, whenever it is in
excess of the wants of the nation.
Not until congress repeats the Sher-
man silver law compelling the
monthly purchase of silver in ex-
cess of the wants of trade, will the
drain Of gold cease.

Four months have now elapsed
and not a single reason, or orgu-
ment, based upon existing politi-
cal, social, economic or commercial
conditions, has been put forth in
support of the demands of royal
lists. The annexationists have fol-
lowed n contrary course-they have
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-13

made some mistakes, perhaps, but
they have filed the public press at
home and abroad with facts and
figures, arguments and deductions,
together with undisputable tend
encies and developments, which go
to show the utter impossibility of
checking the birth of the new
political reign dawning in Hawaii.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-13

The tortuous working of dema-
gogism throws a red light upon the
Hawaiian arena, which brings all
inconsistencies prominently before
the eye. The "good cause" what
ever it may be, is thrust forward
distinctly labeled principle; )" but
the politicians Immediately gather,
wolf-like, and the blood of princi-
pie soon dyes the trampled sands
of factional strife. The political
cult of Hawaii would disgrace any
other country than this-a fact
which only the sublimest egotism
conceals from the average for
eign politician. There are excep-
tions-let us be thankful ray OF
light shines in otherwise utter
darkness.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-13

The politicians who have be-
trayed the cause of good govern
ment are the loudest in denoun-
cling the annexation movement. To
such a depth of political and moral
degradation have some of the roy
alist leaders sunk, they viii as
openly stultify themselves as they
will wantonly attack others. An
instance will suffice. One Of the
royalist spokesman and leaders in
the last legislature, who voted for
the Infamous lottery bill, was
shame-faced enough to arise in his
place and state he voted for the
bill as a matter of political policy,
while in principle he was opposed
to it. Need we wonder, after this,
at the methods the royalists are
pursuing,or at the guerrilla warfare
they are carrying on to reinstate
the iniquities of the monarchy?
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-13

But one reply has been given.
The muscular-armed Of the royalist
cause.-the hired political athletes
have hurled denials of the I'M
deniable abroad, to hinder, if they
cannot defeat, the contamination
of the inevitable. At home they
protest, like whimpering youth,
against the political punishment
they know they have earned.
Bitter is their wailing and disap-
pointment. Blaming themselves
and regretting their past political
folly, they attempt to lay their bur-
den upon other shoulders.
