the passage ul the sugar clause |
in the Wilson Tariff Bill, mas |

to the llataiian planter. An
increase ui nearly twenty dollars
a ton on sugar means apprOy !
maielv three million dollars per
annum more to the sugar pro
ducers than they have had since
the passage OF the Mckinley act
making sugar free from other
countries beside ours. Repairs
which were discontinued when
that law went into effect may be
taken up again and plantations
extended, Ilamakua, with the
addition of a water system which
might be inaugurated through
the increased profits on sugar
may be made to grow and bios
som into an IS per cent district
as in days of vore. The duty on
sugar will be the road to pros

on the Islands; what helps sugar
helds every thing else. Profit

taking and the pillar that sup
ports the established ones, reduce
it and the support is weakened;
increase it and it becomes
stronger each year. a pen pic
ture of Hawaii before the Reel
procity Treaty went into effect
and another alter the Mckinley
bill had been in operation a year
would be interesting. Two years
from now will show a reverse OF
the conditions which existed
two years ago. People who left
Hawaii, good people too, be-
cause of hard times and stagna-

Paradise and swell the vote.
The scarcity of water is a
question of great moment to
every one who doesn't live next
door to an artesian well, the man
t who has five acres of land on
which sorgum should grow and
won't through lack of water has
greater cause for alarm but SUI.
: fers no greater Inconvenience
than the people who do not get
: enough for bathing purposes
And why should the annoyance
= and loss of profit continued
Nature supplies the water and
i science the means of getting it
Two things provided for the
/, most important one remaining i:
0 the means of distributing it
From what we have heard from
d the people who are using then
the Aermotor is what is wanted
for the work. Mr.. lsenberg al
Waialai tells us that anyone who
: is in the least skeptical about the
II power of the Aermotor should
come to his ranch and see the
work his Aermotor is doing
Luther Wilcox told us the Other
= day that his mill pumped 1900
}, gallons of water an hour on the
nth of June. As the capacity
of the pump is a little less thar
l. that amount we are willing tC
n think that the mill was showing
, off because it was a holiday
!, These are but two instances o
> good work done by the Aer
N motor-we could name a hundred
others and not tell you of a SIN
" gle failure. A few hundred fee
below the surface on almost an
part of the Islands and you fine
streams OF the purest water ant
at 3o7 Fort street you will fine
an Aermotor that will pump i
all over creation. The indication
70 are that the present summer will
i be dryer than a prohibition tow
in Kansas and people who us
water for irrigation had bette
+ think about their crops and thei
stock. One town on Kauai tina
:, has suffered for the want of waite
n is going TO have a proper waite
!. works system with an Aermoto
e for the work. If there are an
more towns or any more peopl
to be supplied we can fix them
The NV. II. Dimond" brough
us some new lamps, that will b.
open for inspection next week
II We have been careful in the sc
: lection of these goods and W
believe they will meet with tn
approval of the public. Thes
are plain Rochester lamps an
without expensive decoration
or hlagree-something suitabl
for the bedroom or library; as
reacing lamp they stand at tn
head.
The Wertheim," which vo
see in our window, is a machin
that will sew a lock, chain O
embroidery stitch withou
changing the thread or any NOR
labor than merely moving
thumb screw. There are othe
machines that will sew two di
ferent stitches, but not withor
= an extra attachment, for whic
, you pay an extra price. Tn
table of the "Wertheim" is S
Handsomely inlaid that it is a
ornament in any house. Th
price is about the same as an
ordinary machine.
