HAWAIIAN IMMIGRATION.

It I1IGStIlt l>Sllt OF I1lS IIDeE Will
go to many places, and to many per
sons in the States, who may be look
ing TO these Islands as a nursery OF
business opportunities The Islands
can maintain Il much larger popula-
ton than now lives upon them, after
there is Il better adjustment of the
land. the labor, and the transportation
questions. We invite rather THAI dis
courage any one who proposes II emf
CRATE. At the same time, in order to
prevent misery. and perhaps suffering
we desire to represent accurately the
conditions here
The great and profitable industry
here is the production of sugar l..
involves a large outlay of capital, and
can be handled only by large capital
lists The rice industry is entirely in
the hands of the Chinese.
The coffee industry is still in lis eX-
perimental stage, but may be regarded
as extremely well adapted to farmers
with some means. who do their own
work Its profits have not yet been
determined. As the product comes in
competition with the coffee of all trOpi
cal countries. 1T is only safe to STATE
that its profits will be regulat Il by
that competition. These Islands have
no monopoly in the coffee bus. a,s;S
but the article is of a superior q Il.
ity.
All of the tropical fruits readii.- row
here The banana and the pil,, ap
pie. the @-IIavas do well. w -.i.ca the
profits from their cu1tiva len viii
yield any more than the profi,S Of good
horticultural work in the States has
not VET been determined Grains and
industry and skill are just as neces-
sary in the tropics for successful
work as they are in the temperate
zones. The best work produces the
best results. Nature here has the trick
of appearing lavish and generous, but
in the end she is as eXacting as she is
elsewhere
The fruits that are raised here are
in competition with the fruits of MeXi-
co. the Central American States. and
the British West Indies. The bana-
mas of Honduras and Bluefields com
pete in the markets of California with
the bananas from these Islands AT
present. owing to the high rates of
transportation there is no profit in the
cultivation of the banana on several
of the Islands. In the course of time,
the freight rates will be adjusted
When it is done, there will be an out
LET for large quantities of early vege-
tables, and the Pacific Coast will con-
sumo them. Only industrious and
skilled workers will make profits out
of it. The markets here are now large
ly supplied with apples, grapes,
oranges and lemons. and even with
vegetables from California. owing to
the neglect of residents here to pro-
duce them. The Chinese are the chief
market gardeners.
The population of the Islands is
small. The supply of mechanics. OF
of bookkeepers, of profes-
sional men is greater than the demand.
The rule of ''the survival of the fit
test applies here, as it does else
where
1t would not be right or just to say
that there are better opportunities here
than there are on the vast Mainlands, |
with it's immense extent of territory |
and its undeveloped resources. If the |
and Inducements
offered all over the States to persons |
to emigrate. are true, there |
viii be no lack of business oppOrtuni- |
ties on the Continent for Il hundred |
years to come.
Those who desire above all things. |
A tropical climate viii find it here in |
perfection.
We earnestly desire immigration |
from the Continent. We as earnestly |
lesire that no one shall charge any one
lere with making incorrect statements
Misrepresentation regarding great |
have caused infinite |
in the States during the last
-wenty years 1t would be a crime
o encourage people to strand them
selves in this Honolulu Ad-
-ertiSer.
