REFUNDING AND ANNEXATION

There can be no doubt that the fund
ing bill is thoroughly sound in policy.
II Improvements are to be made, and
If this country is to continue to keep
In the van of progress, We must have
money to make the required improve
ments. We cannot have our roads i'm
proved, our wharfs built and our teem-
ing and fertile lands opened up to the
population that we hope will fill them
up, unless We have money for the pur-
pose. To say that all the money should
come from Hawaii is On the face of it
absurd What capital we have here is
needed for local development, will be
needed to carry on coffee plantations
and other local industries, which just at
this moment must have help to carry
them over.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-04-21

We must 90 to another market, ant
We think that the best place for a mar
ket is New York. We believe firmly
that with the many friends we have In
that great commercial city loan Car
be placed there; but we need some one
to talk 1t up. Had we a loan placed in
New York it would give us an ad-
ditional hold and make the New York
fnanciers take an interest in us.
Even If We can not get loan In New
York, We ought certainly to get one
in London. Current rumor has it that
a certain bright business man has al
ready nearly made arrangements for 4
$4,000 900 loan. What the rate is We
have not been able to learn.
1t will be gross financial mistake
for us to go on paying six per cent. for
money when il ought to be obtained
for four. Even II We can reduce the
loan to five per cent. We shall be max
ing step in advance. As Mr.. Thurs
ton clearly set forth in his letter on
this subject, at five per cent. we should
be able to borrow another million and
only have to pay $4,000 a year adj
ditional interest.
In view Of the prospects of this coun-
try, there is little doubt but that, if the
Minister of Finance has mis- hands
properly guided and guarded by the
Legislature, he will be able to place
the loan advantageously.
1t is the policy of the anti-annexa-
tionists to belittle this country and to
decry this Government, and even to
try and make people think that the an
nexation idea initiates against the
loan. We do not agree with them. The
fact that we have annexation as our ui-
innate goal can have no effect upon the
lean. Annexation is not reputation.
when it comes, will
strengthen the country and develop its
resources. Meanwhile, until We get an
nexation, we must strain every nerve
to show that we are alive 10 the situ-
alton, and that when We do become part
and parcel of the Great Republic we
shall join with we'll developed lands,
with good roads, with a thrifty set of
inhabitants, who. having understood
how to help themselves. can worthily
take a part, however small it may be,
in the greatness of the country that
they have joined.
