mechanical contrivances, are
reaching for the same trade. They
are beginning to throw their float
ing bridges across the oceans, and
are bidding for the trade of the
Orient. At the same time, while
they are bidding for that trade,
they are barring out from their own
soil, the very people with whom
they wish to trade. This is done,
of course, ON economic" grounds.
But, asks a French economist, how
will this American policy work
He suggests that the American Con-
gress should entirely cut off Amer
lean intercourse with China, and
forbid any trade whatever with that
country. This course would end,
for the present, the troublesome
Asiatic question. Why, he asks,
build these floating bridges across
the ocean, and then stop travel over
them? Why build highway and
close it up? Of course John Bull
would like to see this done, so
that he could keep the trade to
himself. The less the Americans
get of foreign trade, the more there
is for himself. That venerable,
and mighty Briton, smiles as he
looks upon the bad fix into which
the foremost nation" has gotten
into. At the same time, he hopes
that nation will not get into free
trade.

SEVERAL years ago, resident OF
this city was standing on the deck
of one of our island steamers, as
she passed the leeward side of Ha-
wall. He was peeling and eating
an orange. Near him was a group
of tourists, whose attention was
called to the many charming spots
along the shore, and to the cocoa
nut and orange groves, by an old
ranchman of Hawaii. Just then a
Whit of the orange which was be-
ing peeled by the passenger reached
the group, and, instantly, the old
ranchman exclaimed, Eyes, the
perfume of the oranges even starts
out to the sea, and reaches the
ships. No place like it in the
world" And the tourists took out
their note book, and recorded the
fact.

STEAMSHIPS AND COMMERCE.

Ocean steamships are, in fact,
floating bridges across the waters.
England, with her magnificent
supremacy in commerce and trade,
has been building them for half a
century, and now, she is followed
by the Germans and the French.
These floating bridges break down
all racial barriers, and bring to-
gether the people of every climate.
England invites all races to her
ports, and bars out none. The
Chinaman is welcome in London,
and, today, almost monopolizes
the British trade with China.
Hongkong is ON British soil, and
the Imperial Government permits
over 10000 Chinese to settle
there, while the several thousand
British residents who are there,
bitterly complain of the Chinese
competition, which has largely
driven them out of business. The
broad policy of England is to open
up connections with every spot on
the globe, when dollar can be
picked up and brought to Eng
land.
The United States, now con-
gested with over-production, by
reason of the great skill of their
workmen, and the use of novel

Unless independent candi-
dates bob up before elections
the men nominated Saturday
night will be elected on a
"heads | win tails you
lose" principle. The fact that
there is no opposition, no
second or third party in the
field for political honors takes
away from the election any of
the deep interest shown by the
people of San Francisco
whose municipal and even
state politics are in the hands
of Burns and Buckley.
In Honolulu as in every
other locality there is more or
less desire for having ice in a
convenient locality at night
and it is not always a pleasant
task to get to the refrigerator
which is usually kept some dis
lance from the bedroom. A
company in New York is
manufacturing a metallic ar
rangement suitable for hold
ing ice, bottles, ETC., and orna-
mented so as to make a handy
piece of furniture for a room.
Any one familiar with night
thirsts will appreciate the value
of a thing like this. The
mother of very young children
will appreciate it because it
obviates the necessity of 60
ing around at night in her
bare feet and stepping on rub
Der balls, ETC., and getting
severe shocks in consequence.
The Wertheim Triplex Sew
ing Machine leads the world.
Comparing it with any other
make of sewing machines is
like comparing a cheap grade
of clarets with Wetmore's
"Cresta Blanca" brands; like
comparing the sunlight to one
of our lamps with a Bradley or
Hubbard burner. The
Wertheim is the machine for
the people; every part of it is
as well finished as piano, the
tables are of carefully selected
wood and polished, not var
nished. The mechanism is
simple and not easy to get out
of order. The arrangement
of the shuttle and for thread
ing the needle is such that a
child can handle it as easy as a
grown person, 1t sews three
distinct stitches, chain, lock
and combined lock and chain
by the simple turning of a
thumb screw. The tables
have the drop leaf and six
drawers and you can get the
whole business for less than
you pay for a sewing machine
with only one stitch.
Physicians have stated that
unless the drinking water in
the Hawaiian Islands is pro-
perly filtered there is danger
of malarial fever. The mere
boiling of the water is not suf-
dcient because while the snakes,
bugs, etc, are killed by the
boiling they remain in the
water and pass into the
stomach. There is but one
really effective way of remov-
ing such things and that is by
using the Improved Stone
Filter. The IS. G.. Wilder"

WHITE LABOR IN TIE TROPICS.

There is still much difference of
opinion, regarding the ability of the
Anglo-Saxon, to do as much man
ual labor here, as he can do In the
higher ATTITUDES, or as much man
ual labor, as the Asiatic can do. If
the Anglo-Saxon is really at dis
advantage, in these islands, in this
respect, the end will be that the
race which thrives best, will surely
dominate.
The friends of slavery, in the
United States, said, positively, that
the white man could not work, un-
der the Southern sun. Olmstead,
the author of that noted book, the
Seaboard and Slave States" was
told by his slave owning host, while
in Louisiana, in 1880, that no white
man could work in the cotton field.
An hour afterwards, as they rode
through the country, they met
gang of Irishmen digging bitches,
and the slave owner conceded that
the negro could not equal the white
man at that work. Since the civil
war, many emigrants to Florida
have demonstrated the fact, that
the northern white man can
easily outwork the negro. in the
open field, provided he adapts
himself to the new conditions. But
the new settler moves on, as rule,
"to better his condition" and not
TO work. The cheapest cotton
crops in the Southern States are
raised on small farms by the Ger
man settlers of Texas, who largely
do their own work. The new mar
ket gardens of the Gulf States are
cultivated mainly by white labor.
There is a popular belief that the
farmers of the cold ATTITUDES are
very energetic men. We were told,
several years ago, by the agent of
the Jarvis-Conklin Trust Company,
which had over $3O,OOO,OOO loaned
out on Western farms and other
property, that, after travelling
among Western farmers for twenty
years, he had come to the conclu-
sion that they were the --LATEST
and unambitious men" in the COM
munity, instead of being, as they
claimed to be, the "horny-handed
sons of toll" This opinion was
confirmed, later, by the Secretary
of the Vermont Agricultural So
ciety, who said that the farmers of
New England were mere pettifog-
gers in their work, and did not use
their brains. Whenever the men
of the high ATTITUDES settle in the
tropics, where living is easily OBJ
tanned, they are, at once, under
great temptations to take it easy.
The facts, however, show that the
Anglo-Saxon can do excellent work
in the tropics.
