You are in no danger of being sick il

they will help all the other organs to

One Of the most popular Of the young pro-

amusing little story on a small, up-to-date
schoolgirl. She went to one of these dis

The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one OF the
girls did not make a move to do so.
why don't you write your answer to the
question: she demanded of the idle pupil.
"'Taint no use,' was the slow response.

The Hawaiian islands exported last
Year to the United States about SIS
Co0,OO0 worth OF sugar, and received in

California has about 50 per cent. OF the
Hawaiian trade. The question with
California since the annexation is. can
she hold the bulk of that trade and its
natural increase? The increased pro-
duction of sugar is rapidly oyershadow-
ing every other industry on the islands
the sugar kings, with their concentric
rings. have a monopoly of the sugar
production. Another set Of kings have
recently appeared on the island and
have increased the coffee production.
The liawaiianS, or rather California
capitalists. have been buying most OF
their building material and machinery
fer their sugar mills from Germany
and England. As rice. bananas and

the Philippines opens up a new era to
the United States and 10 the Pacific
coast, and especially to San Francisco
the Golden Gate city.
Are her merchants able to grasp the
almost countless wealth that must
flow through tlrse open doors into the
Golden Gate? Trade with these coun-
tries will naturally increase under
American jurisdiction, ard no doubt
the islanders can consume everything
that California produces. Consequent
ly California will hereafter look to the
orient for a market instead of TO the
eastern states. The Hawaiian trade is
already controlled by Californiaus. but
it will be largely increased. Since the
occupation more sugar plantations
have been established. for the American
laws are not so eNacting, and, also, are
more easily eyaded in the matter of
taxes. The coffee industry is also being
extended. But. and there is always "A

ton with the Pacific coast laborers.
This cheap labor will not be supplanted
by white lahorcrs who may emigratet TO

not work for such small wages and live.
of course these additional plantations
increases the demand for more machin-
cry and certain classes of goods which
California may or may not supply.
Heretofore she has neglected the Aus
tralian trade, and left it to go further to
New York, The changed conditions
will no doubt open new venue of bust
ness and attract emigration to these
islands, and San Francisco, by her geo
graphical position, claims the greater
part of the Philippine trade. At least,
that's what she proposes to reach after.
