for a time the o. m was kept at bay bat
only for a time, fnr the bOnnties were again
increased, aud it became evident that no
matter how thoroughly the planters might
provide their factories with the latess ana
most economical type of machinery, the
foreign Governments were resolved to IN
crease the bounties so as to render it ImpoS-
sible for cane sugar to maintain a rivalry
with beet sugar in The English market
Then came the planters complaint to the
Imperial Government and the appointment
of a Royal Commiss,0 On, which in its Report
gave the sta enents of the planters un-
qualified corr obnra,iom. That the planters
in this Colony have maintained the struggle
30 bravely and resolutely for go many years,
rebounds to their credit, and might we'll
obtain for them from the Imperial Govern
ment the help that those deserve who have
shewm a manly determination to help them
selves. The time has come when they can no
longer spare money for even small improve
ments on their factories, every farthing of
anv profit in the years crop being required
for the more pressing demands for renewals"
labour and drainage. That the Colony could
hold it's own in the English markets If the
bounties we're abolished There is no reason
20 doubt. Aud it would be able to do this the
more easily, if the local Government were
to give more liberal encouragement to the
experiments in cane cultivation which
have been going On Hor some years in the
Botanic Gardens under two of the best quail
fed cane experts" in the empire. TRe
Hawaiian phenomenal yields have been
brought about greatly by experiments in cul-
t%ivAtion and if money enough had been
voted by our own Government for the proper
conduct Of the local experiments, there is
good reason to believe, that by this time, We
should have had our estates supplied with g.
cane, giving at least fifty per cent. more juice
than is at present obtained from the variety
In general cultivation. The land OF the
Botanic Gardens is unsuitable for the ex-
periments, but this fact the Government has
refused to recognise to the great detriment
Of the sugar industry. A proper place for
the experiments should DO obtained at once,
SO that they could be carried out under
tie most favourable conditions. Already
most valuable information has been obtained
regarding the qualities of two or three OF the
seedlings-one in particular, and II greater
liabilities were given to the experts for carry
ing on the experiments, it is in the highest
degree probable that in four OF five years
hence, our fields would be giving returns
approaching to, il not equaling, the average
yields Of the Hawaiian fields.
, 1898-10-29

every allowance of the kind, there is still
a considerable amount to the good ON the
Hawaiian side. Some of the largest yields
in Hawaii would try the credulity OF sugar
men in other countries, il the writer did not
give assurance that the statistics care the
result of accurate measurement and data"
They are from tie best fields and the best
factories, where the Cuisines is carried on
intelligentIy with up-to-date methods" On
MakaweIi plantation, which is wateied from
mountain streams, and the juice obtained by
diffusion, one field of 80 acres gave 958
tons of sugar. Another field Of 1Q3 acres
gave 1890 tons Of sugar. The average yield
of the whole estate WAS II tons per acre.
The yield Of another estate is reported as
exceeding ten tons per acre. These are GER
tainly very large yields; bu'the VT ter thinks
it 10 possible they may yet be surpassed 10y
the same intelligent and skilful treatment,
"Aided by the experience gained in the
pnst." No one will dispute the correctness
of the writer's opinion when he says that,
chad the cane sugar industry in the West
received the same national assistance that
the European beet has had, there can be no
doubt that the situation would now be very
liffercnt."' Our w Mother land has never
at any time given the least assistance to her
sugar planters to enable them TO experiment
in the field aud in the factory; but, on the
contrary, Inns kept them OH the stretch,
year after year, to maintain on existence
against the rivalry which the subsidised
foreign beet sugar was able to maintain in
the English markets. There has not been q
fartliing left to the cane planter to devote
to expeIiments.-it was more than some of
them could do to keep their fields in Quilt
walton. In our own Colony, the lesoluts
spirit of the planters of twenty or thirty
years ago would not allow them to give up
the fight without a desperate struggle for
supremacy, and yacuum-pans and other new
machinery were introduced to improve the
quality of sugar and increase the quantity Of
juice extracted from the oan", and for -
time the cane held its own against the beet.
But this only strengthened the determine
ton of foreign countries to stamp out the
cane sugar industry at any cost, and boun-
ties were increased accordingly. by which,
material assistance was given to the beet
growers 10 proceed with agricultural,
mechanical and chemical experiments towards
the improvement of the beet and the better
utilization of its juice. Again our plan
ters had to equip their factories with
the newest machinery, and the triple-effect
and other inventions had to be supplied to
super sede the less effec tive evaporAtors and

Last night the atmosphere appeared 10 be hazy.

with pedestrians. and many OF the men found even
light top coats too warm for comfort. and carried
them on their arms. The doors OF many OF the
shops flung wide open. and the proprtetors
issued forth when their duties permitted them 10 do
to enjoy the soft air. About 1890 o'clock how

fashion. and the flashes OF lightning were vivid
According to Forecaster Dunn. the weather will
be fair to-day and colder at night.
