Effects Of Hard Times

A story was recently told
of how n preacher tested the
effect of the hard times upon
his congregation. AT thecon-
clusion of one of his sermons
he said:
Let every body in t h e
house who pay their debts
stand up"
Instantly, every man, wo-
man and child, with one ex-
ception, arose to their feet.
He seated the crowd and
then said:
"Let everT man who is not
paying his debts stand up"
The exception noted, acare
worn, hungry looking individ
ual, clothed in his last sum-
ner suit slowly assumed II
perpendicular position. and
leaned upon the back Of the
sea t in front of him.
"How is it, my friend" on
quired the Minister that
you are the only man in this
large congregation who isnn
able to pay his obligations?"

he meekly replied, "and my
brethren here who have Just
stood up, are all my subscri-
bers. AMI"
LET us pray,' exclaimed
the minister.

SPEAKING of the plan to intro
duce an annexation treaty during
the next Congress, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle says: There may
be more in this scheme than APP
pears to the casual reader. Whether
the project of annexation be car
ried out or not, great majority of
the people of the United States are
not only willing but anxious to
rap President Cleveland over the
knuckles for his conduct regarding
Hawaii. Should the bill in ques-
ton be introduced, it will afford
ample room for discussion, and it is
safe to say that opinion will not be
all one way, no matter how strong
may be the desire among the Re-
publicans to rebuke Cleveland for
his anti-American and monarch
zeal leanings.

THE Japanese bugbear has struck
some of the California people in a
new spot, the latest furore being to
the effect that this country is try
ing to unload its Japanese popula-
ton on the United States. 1t is
said that large numbers of coolies
are leaving here and entering the
States by way of Vancouver. If
the japanese coolies are pouring in
at the rate stated, they must come
from some other place than Hawaii.
The exodus from this country has
not been sufficiently large to at
tract even passing attention.

MONROE DOCTRINE OF COMMERCE IN
BRAZIL

Brazil is waxing warm in it's
little set-to with England over the
possession of the island of Trinidad
and at last accounts was consider
ing a possible recourse to arms if
diplomacy failed to bring about an
understanding. Brazil would how
ever be mere pigmy in the hands
of Great Britain's naval forces. Its
greatest weapon is it's commerce
which is at present an important
item which England cannot afford
TO lose. Commercial non.inter-
course would strike at Great Brit
aims pocket book-its most vul-
nerable point.
Speaking of this fact, the Chroni-
Gle says: "By a combination of con-
ditions and circumstances, Brazil
buys from England and sells to
the United States. Her exports to
Great Britain come to something
like $22,OO0,OOO year, while she
buys from Great Britain manufac-
tured products which cost her over
$30,000,000 year. On the other
hand, the United States sends to
Brazil about $13,OOO,0OO worth of
our products annually, while we
take from that country nearly or
quite $SO,0O0,OO0 worth a year, the
bulk of our import being coffee.
eff, then, Great Britain should
push Brazil to the wall, there is no
reason why that country should
not change its methods of business
and deal with its friends instead of
its foes. When the United States
proposed non-intercourse legisla-
ton; under the Presidency of JEFF
ferson, it was bitterly opposed,
especially by New England, on &C
count of the harm it would do to
the shipping interest, but Brazil
has practically no merchant ma
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-08-10

rine, and non-intercourse with
Great Britain would cut in two
ways, since it would affect both
the British exporter and the Brit
ish ship-owner, two important
classes in the shopkeeping nation"
Here again We find the Monroe
doctrine of commerce working with
greater effect than the military
declarations which might be made
by the United States.

THE San Francisco Bulletin be-
lieves that the Hawaiian Govern
ment will not sign cable contract
until the United States Congress
meets. This is not bad idea. If
the cable is to be built by private
company, it would be far preferable
for the two governments to come to
an understanding among them
selves rather than allow the corpor-
alton to act as the middleman.
There is plenty of time between
now and the opening of Congress to
study the situation and if Col.
Spalding has a good thing, he will
not be inclined to drop it because
this Government does not see fit to
accept his bargain at once.

of business, trade and COM
merce in the United States eff
fects to a greater extent the
business PROJECTS in our Ha-
wall nei.
Something over a year ago
the people in the United States
were suffering from the evil eff
fectsofapanic. Banks were clos
ing their doors, business houses
were reducing their force of
employees, factories closed
down indefinitely, throwing
out thousands upon thousands
of laboring men with large
families, who depended upon
the father, and he upon his
work to keep his wife and
children clothed and fed. Des-
perate men kept agitating the
workman to assert their rights,
blaming the capitalists for con-
spring against them; finally
the day laborer began to be-
lieve that he was the only one
wronged, that the capitalist
threw him out of work out of a
spirit of revenge. What was
the result? The boycotting of
factories, still runnings, strikes
and the destruction of property
public and private.
Today from every quarter of
the country, East, West, North,
and South come the glad It'd
ings of revived business
and commercial prosperity.
The products of the farms,
mines, plantations, mills and
factories have all gone hand
inland towards upward prices.
Cotton, wheat, wool, and other
staples of agricultural product
ion have come into increased
demand at greatly increased
prices. The iron, steel and
coal industries have become
active and profitable, where a
year ago they were nearly
dead. The Illinois Steel Com
pany has advanced wages ten
per cent. which affects some
1000 employees. The Pitts
burg districts show the same
condition of affairs and larger
output. At Wheeling and
Trenton, wages have raised |
from ten to forty per cent.
This state of affairs is pecu-
liar to the United States.
After two years and a half of
depression, good times are
coming again.
Hawaii today is commenc-
ing to feel the pulse of bust
ness activity beating faster and
faster. Buildings, both private
and public are undergoing con-
struction, thus affording en-
ployment for the mechanics;
sugar is steadily but surely ad-
vancing, and enterprise such
as the extension of the OR &
L. Co.'S railroad, electric street
railways and a cable to the
Coast, are being considered,
and to say that these will not
be beneficial to Hawaii is put
ting it mildly. The laboring
men today is in far better cir
cumstances than formerly, as
can be seen by observing the
who are using the
bicycle as a means of taking
them to and from their labors.
Foremost in the ranks of bicy-
cles comes the MONARCH
BICYCLES" No one bicycle
has created the Juror in the
hearts of the lovers of good
sport as has the MONARCH.
People know a good thing
when they see it, and all the
talking in the world will not
convince them otherwise.
