THE BOND ISSUE.

The Government Joan, taken at
a premium, indicates that men
who have money to lend have con
fidence in the stability of the Gov
eminent, in its present form, or
under any other form it may as
sumo in the near future. Con
ceding the stability OF the Gov
eminent. the rate of interest paid
is fair. and about the same as
that paid by the younger Amerl-
can States. No doubt there is a
large amount of money held for
interest, by residents of these
Islands. and the course and prac-
tice of all wise financial men is to
invest where they reside and can
keep their eyes on the investment.
The success of the loans shows
excellent management OF our
finances by the Minister of Fin
ance, aided by kind Providence
who youchsafed a profitable SUI
gar crop last year.

don't you see, they say that Hawaii

SUGAR STOCKS.

The very agreeable way of max
ing money by "short cuts" and
without work is attracting the at
tention of men in this town. The
dealings in stocks are not large,
but the speculative feeling is
spreading.
1t CANNOT be checked. 1t is a
part of the business life Of the pre-
sent generation Of Americans. A
few make money, but the great
majority lose it. This fact infu-
ences only few, who are by ma
ture conservative and have the
power to realize the danger OF the
operation.
The question of ''investment"
stocks in these Islands is a very
serious one. The surplus earn
ings, the principal sums of estates
must be invested so as to return a
fair rate of interest. But in a
country whose affairs are ia a
transition state, there is not the
security for the repayment OF
money, that there is in commun-
tiles where there is a settled order
of things. The managers of the
trust companies in the East and
in London, who have many mil
lions which they are directed to
invest safely, are confronted with
this most serious financial prob
lem. There is no sadder chapter
on the miseries of life than that
which records the investment
which records the unfortunate
investments made by trutees,
on behald of old people,
of widows and orphans, in
mortgages on Western farms and
in rising and promising towns
and cities. The great trans-conti-
mental railway lines have sunk
and lost millions of the earnings
of the poor and those in moderate
circumstances. :.
1t is a curious incident connect
ed with large dividend-paying con-
Germs, that, as a rule, those who
should invest in them with most
caution, are those who make their
investments, when prices are high
and perhaps inflated. Many great
fortunes are made by the shrewd
men who sell out to those with
less experience or knowledge of
the relative values of securities.
Concerns that pay large profit
are exceptions and the tendency
is, in all business, to equalize pro
fits.

JAPAN COAL INCREASES.

The production of japanese coal, re-
marks the Nippon, has considerably
increased in consequence of the grow
ing demand for it in the interior and
in foreign countries. In the oath year
Of Meiji the amount produced did not
exceed $4,000 tons, of which 2,239,
900 tons were exported, realizing val
ue Of 4,749,000 yen only In the 29th
year, however, the figure was raised
to $780, 900 tons, of which 100000
tons, valued at 100000 yen, were ex-
ported. Coal now enjoys the third
rank among the staples of export. The
value of the export from January to
August this year amounted to 7,15O,O00
yen. The internal consumption is also
steadily increasing. In 1891 the amount
was limited to a little less than 2,000,-
900 tons, but it increased to 100000

Owing to the new conditions OF

Opment in Europe, the cheapness
with which it can be produced,
the wide spread interest taken in
the sugar beet in SO many of the
American States, the question of
the value. of sugar stocks, as Il
permanent investment, is a very
serious one. 1t is especially SO to
those who are providing for old
age, or for widows and children.
If possible, the investment for the
benefit of such persons should be
made here SO as to avoid the suf-
fering and poverty of so many
thousands of old people and
widows in America, whose limited
resources have been invested in
apparently good securities, but
which, judged coldly by wide fin
ancial experience, have a most IN

AS every one knows, or ought to
know, the sugar industry here de-
ponds for its prosperity upon Am
erican legislation. In the event of
annexation, it will continue to be
largely dependent upon legisla-
ton. In order to reach a correct
estimate of the value of the sugar
interests, or of sugar stocks, in
the future, a close study Of econo-
mic Legislation is necessary. That
legislation is mainly dependent
on popular will and not on wise
economic laws.
There is, beyond doubt, a wide
spread belief of the average Am

A mortgage makes man rustic and
it keeps him poor, remarks Nebraska
exchange. 1t is a strong incentive to
action. and a wholesome reminder Of
fieeting months and years. II is fully
as symbolical in its meaning as the
hour-glass and scytbe, that mean

try, because it is never idle, night or

cause the greater the adversitv the
closer it sticks to fellow. 1t is like a
brave soldier, it never hesitates at
charges, nor fears to close in on the
enemy. II is like the sand-bag Of the

in effect. 1t is like the hand OF Provi-
dence-it spreads all over creation and
its influence is everywhere visible. 1t

longer it holds the greater its strength.
