Ccptcd as an indication of pros
porous future. But there should (
be some one abroad who would
work in the interest OF colonial
don. As has been repeatedly |
said, Hawai- mel offers grand |
inducements TO the frost bitten
farmer of the North West to set
tie here and a good smooth
lalker to go among them would
no doubt do good work. The
owners of these large tracts OF
land will want to sell them IN |
small tracts to the farmers, but
to do so the farmer and the land |
must be broul hit into closer
touch. He must be shown |
wherein the land in, and condi- !
lions of Hawaii are superior to
any place else. He must beCon-
vlnced that earthquakes arc not
IN every day affair and that we
nave other things than burning
volcanoes. Inc agents abroad
are engaged to talk up attraC-
tons that are of interest to one
set of men as the party OF the
hrst part and a few business peo-
! pie as party of the second part.
Tourists come and tourists go,
out the farmer stays forever un.
less he goes broke. The man who
comes here and builds up an in
lustry, whether it is farming,
stock growing or in making H.
dian meal is more profitable to
the community in which he lives
than the tourist who come here
and stays a month and then goes
nome and tells OF the volcano
| fires. The wealth per capita on a
I dozen farmers is greater than it is
on fifty tourists, where a division
Ol the spOilS is concerned. We do
not wish to imply that the tour
1 list business is not a good thing;
as side speculation it is; it was
all a good many people had to
live on while the Mckinley bill
lasted, but as steady diet the
public would not wax tat on it.
There's room on these islands
tor farmers and there's ample
space for capitalists, but they
5 will not come unless they are IN
formed of the fact. There's an
t idea current in the United States
that the Hawaiian Islands are
flowing with milk and honey
and that positions as clerks are
( open to any one who will apply
IL tor them. Men who have come
e here in search OF work have
lie found this to be false. While
% advertising the country II might
:, be well to add a line tor the
- benefit of this class of people
81 and advise them to stay at home
II or elsewhere than honolulu. 1t
Z is a matter that should engage
e. the attention OF the press and
h the pulpit, rather than discussing
u the advantages which one sort
OF religion may have and the
- disadvantages another possesses
Is Every one, or rather every one
but ourselves, is after the mighty
dollar; it makes no difference
W whether it appears las large as
" cart wheel or the size of {

40 You must understand that oul
a list Of solid goods is not confined
to to expensive articles; we have {
Mt number OF small pieces, chastt
a in design and inexpensive il
ot price, but the value is there just
:, the same. Sugar tongs, berry
It spoons, salad forks etc, anc
about as cheap as we used tC
sell plated goods for.
And lamps! do not imagine
as that the success of the Electric
lie Light Company has deferred us
10 from keeping our goods in this
line up to the standard We
j are buying new designs all the
II time and wouldn't do so if we
} were not continually selling. 1t
r. pays to be up to the times. And
