One-SIded Reciprocity.
ISan Francisco Chronicle, April IL

ISan Francisco Chronicle, April Ill
Some weeks ago this journal
was moved to inquire what particu-
lar gain San Francisco and Cali
fornia have had from the recipro-
city treaty between the United |
States and Hawaii. Before the |
treaty was made we were promis. !
ed all manner of advantages.
There was to be great develop
ment of our. export trade, sugar
was to sell at lower retail price
here than anywhere else in the
country and San Francisco
wharves were to be burdened with
the freight brought over in the
plantation packets. The prospec-
tus was alluring and this city and
State, despite plenty of good con-
trary advice, brought such pres
sure to bear at Washington in ia
vor of the treaty that tire
latter was readily adopted
and the fortunes of the Ha-
waiian planters made. We should
like to be able to add that the
fortunes of some American mer-
chants were also made-outside
of the sugar trust-but the facts
forbid We are compelled to
compete on even terms with other
countries and our wines, brandies,
shoes, hats, fabrics, furniture, car
pets, hardware and decorative
goods are being steadily displaced
by the products of England, Ger.
many and the Orient. Nor do we
have cheaper Hawaiian sugar
than New York, which lies 5000
miles further away from the Ho-
nolulu market, and as for COM
merce, the island experiment of
sending cargoes of raw sugar
around the Horn instead of
through this port is full of un.
pleasant suggestiveness. Plainly
speaking, San Francisco and Cali
fornir, " hen they were enlisted
for the reciprocity treaty, were
made the victime of a confidence
game by which the Hawaiians
have been able to maintain among
Themselves an abnormal prospect
ty-holding special advantage
as sellers in the American market,
but denying American exporters
corresponding advantage in
their own. And this is called
reciprocity"
These charges, as formerly pre-
scented in this paper, have drawn
from the Honolulu press denials
of much length and spirit, but in
the course of two or three columns
of such rejoinder we find a num-
Der of unexpected and curious adj
missions. at is true" says the

Der is often tempted to purchase things
be does not want and cannot afford to
buy. But such temptation is much
stronger when It comes to one who has
been imbibing over freely. particularly
ii he Is OF a speculative nature. Yet
there are a few who have sufficient
wit to get them out OF difficulties Of
this character, even when their brains
are more or less befuddled. An anus
ing occurrence took place at an auction
in one of the rura' towns OF Pennsyl-
vania, where a hodse, barn and farm
were offered for sale. Farmers came
from all the surrounding country with
a view OF making a day of it and SONS
OF them imbibed too much corn juice
In honor OF the occasion. In the barn
were stored between 1000 and 5000
weight OF hay-prime timothy--on
which the bidding started at four cents
ard gradually rose a quarter OF a cent
at a time. until it neared the market
value OF 7k OF s cents per pound. The
auctioneer was annoyed by the reck-
less bidding of a typical old hayseed
who was so drunk that he could hard
ly stand. He was determined to buy
that hay, regardless OF its cost. and
when the last sober bidder feebly cried
20 cents he shouted "teni" or course
nobody would go higher han that =
the farmers chuckled TO think how
their neighbor was TO be taken In. ID
you mean to pay cash for this hay

lieve he had a good thing. Well, 1

And how many hundredweight are you

The fever came into her face, then the

In her delirium Suen Moi found her

them, and they shiyerea in the morn
