Preparations should soon be
gin Tor a proper celebration of
the passage oi the sugar clause
in the Wilson Tariff Bill, mas
much as the iaw when it goes
into effect will bring prosperity
to the lla ,aiian planter. An
increase oi nearly twenty dollars
a ton on sugar means approx
malelv 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, l1amakua, 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 yorc. The duty on
sugar will be the. road to pros
perity for every class of labor
on the Islands; what helps sugar
helds every thing else. Profit
is the source of every new under
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 after 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.
ton of business will return to
Paradise and swell the vote.
The scarcity of water is a
question Of great moment tc
, every one who doesn't live next
door to an artesian well, the man
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
science the means OF getting it
Two things provided for the
most important one remaining /,
the means of distributing it
From what we have heard from
the people who are using then
the Aermotor is what is wanteC
for the work. Mr.. lsenberg a
Waialai tells us that anyone who
is in the least skeptical about the
power of the Aermotor shoulc
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 little less thai
that amount we are willing t.
think that the mill was showing
off because it was a holiday
These are but two instances o
good work done by the Aer
motor-we could name a hundred
others and not tell you of 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 anC
at 3o7 Fort street you will fnC
an Aermotor that will pump j
all over creation. The indication
are that the present summer viii
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
is going to have a proper waite
works system with an Aermoto
for the work. If there are an,
more towns or any more peopl
to be supplied we can fix them
The "W. III. DimOnd" brough
us some new lamps, that will b.
open for inspection next week
! 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 ant
without expensive decoration
or hlagree-something suitable
for the bedroom or library; as
reacing lamp they stand at tn
head.
The Wertheim," which yol
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
