following in its issue of Jan. 30:

letter from one of our correspond

which he takes issue with us in re-
gard to our fears recently eX
pressed that the rapid growth of
the sugar industry in the Sand

affect our domestic sugar indus
try. Our fears were based upon
the rapid and entirely unexpected
increase in the production of
sugar in the Sandwich Islands.

PRODUCTION of these sugars into
the United States free of duty
can hardly have other than an in
furious effect upon our domestic
sugars is what we claim.
"A clipping from the Hawaiian
Commercial Journal of January
>. that will be found in this issue,
states that some 10000 tons of
sugar will be shipped from Ha-
waii To Atlantic ports this year.
and that some 152,000 tons will
be shipped to san Francisco. We
thus find some 221 900 tons of
foreign sugars entering our mar
ket free of duty in competition
with our home product, while
nearly every article that we con
sumo is enhanced 40 TO % per
cent. in value by our own system
of domestic duties.
The Hawaiian crop may not
increase much more, out Jhdt was
the belief twenty years ago when
the treaty was first negotiated.
and that the total production
there now is as large as our pro
duction of 1892. and unless we
are able 10 secure more favorable
legislation in this country it
seems likely that the production
i'm the Sandwich Islands will soon
exceeds ours. We do not question
the sincerity of our correspondent
in the views that the expresses,
but as a rule the best way to
Judge of the future is by the past,
and we are inclined to believe
that the sugar production in Ha-
waii will increase more rapidly
than our confreres there now eX-
pect."

That is why MALT NU-
TRINE has taken the lead of
all other preparations contain
ing the curative properties of
Malt.
A few reasons why Malt Nu-
trine is superior to other ex-
tracts is:
1. That it contains almost 10
per cent of Pure Malt Extract,
with less than per cent of AL
cohol.
2. 1t can be given to children
with perfect safety.
3. 1t is not an eXcitant slim
ulant. The benefits to be de-
rived by Nursing Mothers dur
ing the period of lactation can
not be overestimated.
All persons requiring Tonic
and Fat Producer should not
fail to give Malt Murine a
trial.
People of every walk of life,
from the laborer to those in
the highest ranks of nobility,
will find beneficial results from
taking Malt Murine.
The feeling of exhaustion,
brought on by the prevailing
south wind, can be overcome
by this valuable preparation.
The demand for Malt Murine
has increased so greatly that
we have been enabled to pur-
chase large quantities, thereby
reducing the price to within the
reach of all.
Single Bottles, 80 cents.
Per Dozen, $3.50.

having been given substantially yester-
day in The Evening Times.
The following passage between the
court and the attorneys on the question
OF how Mr.. Shriver appeared before the
committee may be pointer as to the
views OF Judge Bradley as to whether
Mr.. Shuver was served with summons
tantamount to a subpoena.
