offered to MIN Tor lease was held SO high
that no agriculturist, honest or other
wise, could hope to make a living out
of it. He abandoned the enterprise in
disgust in the very face Of the fact that
Honolulu is one of the best of markets
for precisely the commodities he pro-
posed to furnish.

has four acres in cocoanut grove that
brings him in Sc, 900 a year, at the rate
| of 81 tree. It is said the beautiful CO.
coanut tree leans always toward the
sea. as the sunfower turns to the sun.
1t requires 16 to 1S years for cocoanut
| plantation to come to maturity.
| Planters say it would do no good even
if they did start orange groves, banana
plantations and pineapple gardens. IF
we send our oranges or bananas to the
States, the dealers in San Francisco
league together and freeze us out every
time. California wants all this trade to
| herself. one told me-
Still there are other ports than San
Francisco on the Pacific coast. Even if
they were frozen out Of that trade alto
gether, however the islands might at
least raise enough of the products men
toned to supply their own needs. This
they do not at all do California
oranges, decidedly the worse for their
sea voyage, are in the Honolulu market
at high prices.
Living in Honolulu is expensive COM
pared to that in towns Of the same size
in the States Ordinary board costs
from % to $40 week The people
rather pride themselves on it. Where
we have money to pay high prices, "
they say, thereby delicately implying
that they have the said money, thigh
prices are good thing"
With that we have nothing to do one
way or the other. If, however. some
people were citizens Of these beautiful
islands. they would by all means in
their power encourage the abundant
cultivation of all the fruits and vege-
tables that grow SO we'll in Hawaii.
The truth is that the wealthiest people
are mostly the great plantation own
ers They get enough money from sugar
to obtain whatever they themselves
want at any price, and they are not
profoundly concerned about other folk
Hawaii is probably now in this respect
much like what the sugar and cotton
states Of our own south were before the
war.
The Hawaiian Islands are not q good
country for very poor man unless he
has genius in some particular indus
trial line. Ordinary labor. domestic and
otherwise, is performed by Japs and
Chinese, and these constitute world
and caste It their own, which the life
of the white person never touches

Some of the-citizens of Hawaii seem
in mortal dread lest anybody comes to
the islands who does not bring money
In private letters and in printed docu-
ments poor people are especially warned
off | have seen an extract from a cir
cular to the public which informed read
ers there was no spot this side of para
disc so desirable as Hawaii for tourists
and persons with money to invest.
Just So But to all others the author of
the document turns the coolest kind of
cold shoulder. Hawaii offers no in
ducements to people without money or
position, he writes It was the same
in Dawson-golden returns for those
who had money, pauperism for those
who had none. wonder if there is any
spot of earth which is good place for
the poor man!
In proportion to its size Honolulu is
one of the richest towns on the globe.
A considerable number Of the citizens
have incomes ranging from $50, 900 to
$3.50, 900 year. These are mostly Ell
ther the sugar lords or the shrewd white
men who have married descendants of
the Hawaiian royalty. With all this
money they ought to do something for
Honolulu. They will not read this till

respects the shabbiest town Of its size I

electric street cars, only dingy little

narrow streets are dusty or muddy all

houses are many of them so small and
shabby that an enterprising village Of
