THE OLDER YOU GROW

the more rapidly spin round the
wheels of Time; the logic is
therefore that if you want to
get the pith out of enjoyment
you must go it while you're
young. That is where we can
help you for our cycles for young
and old, youths and maidens,
girls and boys will outspeed the
cycles of grandfather Time.
For example:
We have just a few of those
celebrated TRIBUNES with the
latest improvements left over
from the Australia's importation.
They are beautiful in Maroon
or black with gold trimmings.
They are dandy's daisies, and
invariably up to date. Then
we also have all grades and
classes of wheels, and at all
prices; the best the market can
give. Take for instance THE
STORMER you can have this
at $75, and you will be well
pleased with it after your in
spection. 1t has all the most re-
cent improvements Then there
is the COLUMBUS another
beauty III Olive Green and Gold
with Wooden Handles with Cork
Grasps. Tois goes for $75 also.
Another wheel, that is very
highly spoken of the United
States, is the B & II SPECIAL
which we can let YOU have for
500. We also have one or two
of the famous "ZIMMIES" that
you may like. We have few
SECOND HAND WHEELS of
different makes that you can
take at reduced prices. Our sup
plies include wheels for ladies
and juveniles, repairing kits and
all the sundries required, and
we sell for cash or on the install
ment plan.

Portuguese we're invited to try the
co. operative plan and their first crop
was highly satisfactory aud the
planters figured the result as aver
aging al earning OF $3.50 a day.
The plat ters were satisfied but the
mill could not tolerate such wealth
among he Portuguese, and when
the day of the renewal of the con-
tract came they were presented with
different agreement which &C
cepted, would leave them to starva-

He has enjoyed five months vacs-

Mr.. Castle should pay his travelling

The plantation owners who now
howl for white labor, believing that
their howl will help the reciprocity
treaty, are not sincere. They want
big dividends and the cheapest
labor possible. And they know that
it will be weary day for themselves

managers when the deluded "whites"
should realize their position and
call for retribution. The black

THE WHITE LABOR FAKE.

Mr.. E. l.. Fitzgerald, the labor
commissioner OF California, left for
home yesterday after brief yisit to
Hawaii. He succeeded shortly be-
fore his departure in soaring a few
planters into digging up the sack
which was the first and last object
Of Mr.. Fitzgerald's excursion to
Hawaii.

Now in regard to the proposed
importation of white laborers, how
are they to land here2 The Supreme
Court has vested the Collector-Gen

purpose it is compulsory for them
to have $50 in their pockets, earned
by The mselves or at least their very

has said it, and he has been upheld
by the highest tribunal OF the
country

He tried to bleed the Govern
ment, bnt he did not succeed, al
though he suggested that certain
appropriation for $4,000 would
meet his ends, and that the amount
would be ample to secure white
hobos from California. The Attor-
ney-General, however, interpreted
the intention OF the said appropria-
tion differently, and Fitz got "nit."
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-05-06

We are told by the Castle organ
that the order for fifty white men,
who are to be sent here within the
next three months by Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, is entirely independent of
the law which provides that planta-
tions shall take ten percent white
labor of the amount Of Asiatic con-
tract laborers introduced since Janu-
airy 1st, 1897. We believe it because
we feel confident that the Eva plan
taton did not for moment expect
to get any decent white man TO
sign the proposed agreement. At
least not il the truth aud only the
truth is told-to Mr.. Fitzgerald's
white unemployed.

We have no doubt that the planta-
