to keep certain papers and a
sum of money at their home
or at their office, and "a suit

diately upon arrival, and the
second shipment is selling as

In the early days Of Lead
vile, Colorado, some Of the
houses there were rooted with
tin, in which vegetables and
fruit were preserved. The
altitude of that thriving dis
trict prevented the growing
of garden sass" and the
people, perforce of this condi-
ton of affairs, depended for
their supplies, upon such
things as were put up in the
canneries Of the East and
California.
1t would be interesting to
know how many thousands Of
cases Of canned goods are con
sumed annually in Honolulu.
Our trade in this line is enor-
nous, Notwithstanding the
fact that the people in Homo
lulu can grow their own vege-
tables and are in close touch
with the Fl uit markets of San
Francisco.
Our stock is large and con-
tains everything in this line.

Germany as a commercial nation is
now well to the fore. Labor is cheap
and the manufacturers are able to
turn out first class line of goods at
a lower cost than other countries. One
of the advantages that Germany has is
the market in the United States, a
large portion of which might, with
justice, be called Greater Germany.
Thither quantities of goods are sent.
But in every part of the commercial
world Germany is very active.

Our customers tell us that Our
novelties are the best that have
ever been sold in Honolulu. AS d
rule kitchen novelties and labor
saving tools don't amount to much.
Ours do. .-
The Ouick-Cut Mincing knife
is one that cuts around the corners.
Being made half round, it is the
best for chopping in bowl. Fiji
teen cents is the price.
Every housekeeper knows that
small bits of soap accumulate in
the kitchen until they are thrown
away. The Kitchen Soap Shaker,
made of wire, enables you to econo-
n1ize in respect to soap.
Half the fun of camping out is
in being able to flip a Flap Jack in
the pan; but half the hunters and
half the cooks don't savoy how. We
have Cake Turner that does the
Tipping automatically. 1t costs IS
cents for dollars worth of salts
faction. It's made on the no-wear-
out principle.
The Premier Egg Cup is a novel
ty that should be in every home.
1t saves scorching the fingers in
opening the egg; it saves disap-
pointment in the way of matured
eggs being sent to the table, for by
its use the age of an egg is ascer-
tanned before it leaves the kitchen.
1t guarantees satisfaction in every
way.

Whom the Gods make mad no one
can save. \ paragraph in an exchange
shows that woollen factory OF San
Francisco has transferred its plant to
Japan, and with ten cents a day labor,
is able to undersell the manufacturers
of the States. This is a case for string
ent action by Congress. Such people
are renegades to their nation and
should be taxed out of existence. 1t
is right to acquire wealth and is is Il
good thing to have it, but not by such
means as these.

The Arena" has an article upon
the annexation question. The argu-
ment advanced in favor of the move

the United States do not take the
Islands either Great britain or Japan

ulation is touched upon, and the idea
among a large class in the United
States that the Hawaiian is like the
American Indians, is combated. But
this point is not given prominence
enough. The Hawaiian is a desirable
citizen. He is better educated, he is
more tractable, more amiable, and has
far better understanding of the af-

COMPETE WITH KANSAS WHEAT

Will wheat growing in Kansas event
ually be given up. An article in the
Rocky Mountain News points out how
the opening of new wheat yielding re-
gions may make the competition in
grain growing even more severe than it
has been. The News says:
An immediate effect of the opening of
the great trans-Siberian railway will be
to add millions of acres of the most fer
tile land to the tillable area of Russia.
From this new agricultural empire will
come vast quantities of wheat and Other
cereals to compete in the markets of the
importing countries with the American
farmer What the result of this will be,
especially under the baneful and world
wide operation of the gold standard, no
man can tell, but the danger is already
exciting dire apprehension among the
farming organizations of this country.
The state grange of PENNSYLVANIA after
delibera ton. has announced the cOnclu-
sion that there must be either free trade
in manufa ctured goods in order that the
farmer may be able to bup cheaply, or
there must be an export bounty on his
produce to enable him to buy manufac-
tured goods which are enhanced in
price by the operation of the tariff. Pop
uIism is derided in Pennsylvania a s pa
ternalism gone mad, but it will be OBJ
served that the Pennsylvania accus-
toned to the paternalism of the tariff
does not hesitate to recommend its eX-
tension to the farmer. The state grange
declares its belief that the proposed eX
port bounty would raise prices in the
home market to the extent of the boun-
ty.
What would become of the great mass
of consumers who are neither manufac
turers or farmers under these circum-
stances? There is no means by which
their revenues can be raised to the arti-
fetal level thus created for the things
they must buy. 1t will, as a matter of
fact be impossible to pass an agricul-
tural bounty bill through congress. but
the renewed demand for it is evidence
of the increasing pressure which is COM
ing on the producers of the world. The
enlarged available area and the i'm
provement of means of transportation
would force prices down to some extent
but when to them is added the financial
system that enhances the value of mon
ey in the hands of those who are purely
money owners, and without any cores
ponding benefit to other classes, it is
easy to see that the remedy is not in
tariffs or bounties, but in a change of
| the financial system.

THE TRUST IS NATURAL

While the trust in it's various forms
is being denounced on all sides, it is
well to remember that some things can
be said in defense of trusts. Trusts are
not an unnatural, abnormal develop
ment OF our commercial system; they
are direct outgrowth of it. We have
trusts because the trust was the next
step for our commercial evolution to
take The trust is as inevitable as sun
shine The question now is, how shall
the trust be controlled for the benefit
OF the whole people? This is a ques-
ton that the people themselves must
settle.
A writer in the Chicago Times Herald
makes some very clear statements on
this point which will help students of
this matter to come to clearer conclu-
sions. He says:
overproduction and Undercon-
sumption in a recent issue of YOUR pa
per appears an exceedingly interesting
analytical sketch of the operation of
economic law under our 'go-as-you-
please method of doing business. It is.
indeed, bewildering to think of the con-
slant care required in all large (and
small, Tor that matter) business con-
Germs to make income and Outgo bal
ance or to keep all men probably en-
ployed- And as after all, the world
C.
VINO cannot see that much disorder and
waste must inevitably arise when such
a vast enterprise is without a business
head Paternal governments attempt
to supply a part of this deficiency, and
socialists imagine they can construct
a complete and smooth running organ
1zatlon OF these vast proportions, but his
tory does not bear them out in these
benevolent hopes. Is the world, then,
to be left forever to these haphazard
methods of adjusting production to con-
SUMPTION! 1t seems to me that the stu
dent of economic science is blind to the
trend of the next step in industrial de-
Velopment who does not see that the
free, individual, competitive method,
like that of the highwayman and buc-
cancer, is rapidly being supplanted by
organizations of every trade and in
dustry and vocation, acting as whole
primarily for it's own good, but ulti-
mately also for the common good.
Trades unions and trusts have come to
stay. Both are abusing their newly
organized power, but they will learn
wisdom by experience. Who cannot
see in these combinations of men or
better results than under our present
anarchistic policy? Then there will be
a better adjustment of men and capital
to the needs of the times. Socialism
may be our destiny, but long before that
day unions and combinations will have
had their day. The puny child of la
Dor having grown to the majestic pro-
portions of a giant, will then come face
to face with a gigantic brOther-capita
meeting him at last upon equal
ground

TEXAS ORATORY.
TFrom the New York Sun.

H.
By the side of the Hon. Cyclone Davis
and the Hon. lobe Scrutchins, those
great twin brethren of Texas oratory,
must now stand the Hon. Bob Henry of
Waco. Introducing a young writer and
lecturer from Nebraska the other night,
Mr.. Henry waved these flaming ban
nerS of language:
standing now in the decline of the
nineteenth century, and turning our
eyes to the setting sun, we feel as we
see its last golden gEmmerS that they
reflect the image of the going down for
ever of the gold standard party-the
party that despoiled our sovereign citi-
zens of their honest ballots. We turn
to the eastern horizon and behold the
silvery dawn of the twentieth century
as Aurora, the superb goddess, robed in
saffron attire, opens with her rosy fin
gers the gates of the orient, and we see
the bimetallicah hosts, led by a full pan
oplied and peerless leader, as they move
ON to a triumphant and signal victory,
ushering in the golry of the new CEN
tury- 1t will be the peoples glory and
the peoples victory. The leader L now
have the distinguished honor to present
to you-the Hon. William J. Bryan of
America"
Whereupon the peerless leader, full
panoplied in his best clothes and, let
US hope for the intrOducer'S sake, in
saffron cravat, opened the gates of his
speech. It adds to ones faith in pO-
etry to learn from the Galveston News
that the Hon. Bob Henry has long,
statemanish locks" Not even his in
music. Some of it has gone to his
