The following extracts from a
pamphlet issued by our late Foreign
Office, should be placarded broad =
cast throughout the United States:
"The market for all kinds OF labor
is overstocked and it would be very
unwise for any one to come to these
Islands with no capital, on the mere
chance of obtaining employment.
The many steamships arriving at
this port bring numbers Of people
seeking employ yment who are obliged
to return disappointed"
The "'annexation boom" will throw
thousands of poor devils on our
shores to be stranded on the beach
unless a very strong effort is made
to prevent anyone but capitalists
from immigrating to this Planters
Paradise.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. "a, 1898.
STOCK GAMBLING.

The Executive Council is to be
congratulated on it's refusal to allow
an increase in the capital stock Of
Eva Plantation to S5,O0O,0OO. The
charter Of the company gives it the
right to increase it's capital stock to
the amount of 100000 and the
Cabinet was willing to grant per.
mission 80 far, but it refused to lend
its authority to a proposition in the
nature of the watering OF stock for
speculative purposes.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-24

The Cabinet is right in trying to
cheek any movement which can lead
to the dangerous methods OF in
dating stocks. II the Executive had
lent its aid to increase the capital
stock of Eva Sugar Company to
$5,000,000, it would have been Justly
subjects to the severest censure,
when the inflated balloon bursts and
the financial condition Of Hawaii nei
comes down to it's proper basis.
There is no more reason or room for
stock gambling here than there is
for lottery, and we are painfully
surprised to see the men who op-
posed the latter measure so siren
uously in 1898, appearing as the
leaders in the stock gambling craze,
which yet will bring ruin and sorrow
to many homes, even those within
the pale Of the Central Union
Church.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-24
The P. G. A. says:

There is strong and unfortu-
nately growing sentiment here
among the whites who are the recent
comers, that ignores the natives aud
holds them in contempt"
Whenever The INDEPENDENT has
made this truthful statement a
howl OF indignation has been raised
against it by "the sand-the-sugar and
come to prayers" brigade. 1t is as
refreshing as it is hopeful, however,
to notice that now "the dawn of
liberty" has arrived, and the "iron
heel of despotism" has been re-
moved from the crushed" necks of
the people," that even The mission
ary organ occasionally blunders into
the meadows OF truth out of the
quagmires of bigotry. We are afraid
though that the business office will
put a stop to this independent
truthfulness on the part OF our we'll
equipped contemporary.

decent prices, entirely served by

no suggestion to water the stock Of
that great mercantile house. II the
6rm iutended to branch out in new
iues it would be perfectly proper
for it to increase the capital OF the
concern, but that is a very different
proposition from increasing its capi-
tai for speculative purposes.

ably record the fact that the first

erected on the Hawaiian Islands and

garnered from what they have sown
they should be content with Is
percent dividend. 1t is not abso-
lutely necessary that every pauper
should become a millionaire by
owning sugar stock.

Further complaints are being
brought to us Of Col. Barber's SEN
tries stopping ladies and gentlemen
while driving on the Waikiki road
in broad daylight. Without explana-
ton this action seems to be very
high handed.

And now the sugar stock booming
journal wants a stock exchange.
Hey! ho! for Monte Carlo or

There is no doubt that Eva
Plantation is the richest and best
plantation in the islands. 1t is
possible that it is worth a great deal
moro than the $2,O00,000 now re-
presenting its capital stock But it
is equally true, that the proposition
to increase the capital stock is
simply made in the interest of the
speculators, and that if successful,
it will eventually mean the whole
sale unloading of stocks by the big
holders to the possible detriment
of the unfortunate "small" specula-
tors and to the loss If not ruin Of
their legitimate creditors and their
employers.

TOPICS or THE DAY.

The main reason for the retention
of the soldiers around the Execu-
tive Building is to guard the init

A prominent storekeeper said yes
terday that it was nearly impossible
to collect money for goods sold
among certain class Of young men
who have drifted into the dangerous
maelstrom Of stock gambling.
Young clerks and salesmen with
wives and small children, who find
their salaries insufficient to meet
their demand for luxuries, and who
want to become rich quickly, borrow
money, pawn their furniture and
even assign their wages to enable
them to rush into the stock market.
And when Mr.. Atherton and his
clique set the pace, what can be ex-
pected from the young men, who
naturally wish to bask in the smiles
of the tickle dame of fortune9
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-24

We are surprised that mission
arg" firm like that of Castle g. Cooke
can countenance an attempt OF
watering stocks in a plantation,
which is controlled by the members
OF that "holy" firm. A short while
ago Mr.. Atherton was decidedly
opposed to an increase in the Eva
capital, but he has evidently chang
ed his mind.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-08-24

We do not hear of any commercial
