CHEAP CROPS THE REVERSE OF
AN IND CATION OF PROS
PERITY.

The cheap prices that we see labeled
in all our department stores are an oO-
ject lesson. They are eloquent OF great
poverty and great wealth. An IN
American and q European condition.
A big etrapping Missouri friend OF ours
came into the Office to-day and boosted
that what he had on cost him only
81 So. We examined it and found
that it was the same character Ofcloth
ing which a few years ago would nave
cost 5000 What a tale of abJ9ct
poverty it told. Out of that 81 SO had
to be squeezed the old time profit OF
the retailer, wholesaler and manutac
turer. The reader can imagine how
much there remained for the farmer
who raised the textiles and the lab0rer
who made the garments This may
evidence the revival of business"
about which we are hearing a great
deal, but the people are digging down
to the foundation and are not apt to be
deceived by wind. The same laborer
who foots this bill, as a rule, lives in
large cities huddled in close and I'M
healthy tenements where he struggles
from day-break to midnight and pays
just as much and sometimes more than
he did when we were on a Cheaper
basis, in so far as money was concern
ed, for an hundred necessities. Cheap
prices are evidence of poverty among
the millions, however they may indi
cate the prosperity of the few.-Chi-

A Prophetic Letter Written by the Sage
of Monticello in 1887.
We give below a letter written by
the great modern lawgiver. How the
records and writings of these men, our
sirea, speak to us in the language of
prophecy and foreshadow the condition
under which we suffer because:we fol
lowed not the counsels of the fathers.
Surely he was one of
THE dead and sceptred sovereigns
who still rule our spirits from their
gums"
The letter reads as follows:
PARIS, January, Is, 1882.
Col. Edward Darlington:
My Dear Sir: I am persuaded, my
self, that the good sense of the people
will be the best army. They may be
led astray for a moment, but will soon
correct themselves. The people are
the only censors of the governors; and
even their errors will tend to keep
these to the true principles of their in
situations. To punish these errors too
severely would be to suppress the onlv
safeguard of the public liberty.
The way to prevent these irregular
interpretations of the people is to give
them full information of their affairs
through the channel of the public pa
pers, and to contrive that those papers
should penetrate the whole a of the
people, the basis of our governments
being the opinion of the people. The
very first object should be to keen that
right, and wer it left to me to decide
whether we should have a government
without newspapers or newspaners
without a government, 1 should not
hesitate a moment to prefer the latter
But l should mean that every mon
should receive those papers and ho
capable Of reading them. I am con.

Death Of capt. mcintyre. a well Knows
Citizen


Citisen.
Another kamaaina has passed
away. At 6IS O'Clock yesterday
evening the spirit Of Captain Archi.
bald Mcintyre took that endless
journey whence no one returns.
Death came peacefully. Captain
Mcintyre died at his residence on
Nuuanu street. The cause of death
was spinal meningitis, of which he
had been a sufferer for two or three
years. The Captain has been con-
fined TO his home for some
weeks past, owing to growing
infirnity. On Sunday last
the captain became unconscious.
He recovered consciousness yester-
day morning, but only for awhile
as he relapsed into a comatose con-
dition and continued so to his
death.
Captain Archibald Mcintyre was
born in Greenock, Scotland on
May 10, 1919. He arrived at
Honolulu in the bark Francis Pal.
mer in 1855. After arrival he was
appointed captain Of the old tug
boat Pele. after which he was COM
missioned pilot. Everybody re-
members Captain Mcintyre going
out in the pilot boat to
board sailing vessels and
steamers. He held the position OF
pilot until his health would not
permit him to climb the sides of in
coming vessels. He retired on
April /, 1893. In Captain Nc
Intyre shipping men lose an old
friend, who leaves an untarnished
record. Even after he had retired
from public service, Captain Nc
Intyre, feeble as he was, would
drive to the pilot Office in his
buggy and pass the time away in
conversation with his former COM
rades.
Deceased leaves three daughters
and one son here, a daughter in
San Francisco and a son in Port
land, Oregon. Frank Mcintyre,
bookkeeper in +. A. Schaefer &
Co.'S store, is son of the late
captain.
The funeral is to take place from

at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. d.
p. Birnie officiating. The Odd
Fellows will conduct services at
the grave, the late captain being a

Highest Of all in Leavenng Power.-Lae U. Govt Report
RH:a!:!!I! R RsslHS
ABSOLUTELY PURE
GIVE SOME POINTERS.


/
Following is the report of { G
Depression Committee to the ST
ate:
Your Committee to investigate
the general depression in busin css
regrets to report that they find !,
i'm possible to report fully to this
special session of the Legislature.
To perform their duty thorough
ly, as intended, they require more
time. There are a large number of
questions involved and they find
most of the business men very
eager to express their views.
No business man is able TO deny
general depression, but the causes
are many-fold. Some branches for
obvious reasons are not suffering as
much as those dealers, who have TO
compete directly with goods import
ed from Asia and those mechanics
who have to compete with laborers
from the same continent.
1t seems to be the geneal opinion
that it is the unquestionable duty
Of the Government to provide for a
good population Of the islands, not
transient but permanent. The new
Land Act is certainly intended for
this purpose and step in the right
direction, but this will not suffice.
For the new coffee plantations a
large number of laborers will be
required, especially during the
picking season and married men
with large families will be very
valuable at such times.
Therefore it is generally recon-
mended that the Government
should to a limited extent assist
Portuguese and other European
immigrants by paying part of the
passage money for women and
children to these Islands. We re-
commend most urgently that the
Executive bring in d bill at this
session appropriating say $4,000.
90 for this purpose. This money
may not be required before the re-
gular session Of the Legislature,
but it will empower the Executive
to negotiate and act at once. Even
six months is long time when a
country is waiting for action of the
Government.
All such appropriations for inn
migrants and laborers will soon be
repaid by the increase OF tax re-
ceipts from them and their saw
ings. People are wanted here who
will make these islands their home
and not only come here to drain
this country by sending all their
earnings away. Those men who
come here for good, to make al
honest living for themselves and
families, will form the most desir.
able population for the islands.
Eventually through them there
will be no more labor problem
mere, tnan exists IN other Suga'
countries like Louisiana and Cuba
Other countries such as Brazil, etc.
offer to immigrants very enticins
inducements, but we do not know
Of any country, which neeGs {
population so badly and does Sc
little to assist immigration "a

The above report is merely ;
partial one and does not cover ;
number OF questions OF detail which
the Committee also should investi
gate, and if this is the will Of tn
Senate, this Committee will turtle
