soil which will raise more sugar to
the acre than sny other land on earth
On some plantations Is many as ten
tons of sugar TO the scre are annually
raised a prodnct from five to eight
times as great as tina average product of
the sugar plantations Of Louisiana
The most of the money now made IN
the islands is from sugar. There are
sixty large plantations, comprising al
together about $1,000 acres and yield
ing product which annually sells for
more than $15.U0.O0. These planta-
tons are managed after the most mo-
dern methods They are chiefly owned
by corporations. the capital stocks OF
which range from half a million to
four million of dollars The stock in
the various companies is regularly
bought and sold in the Honolulu stock
exchange and nearly all of the COM
panies pay big dividends. There is, all
all told. about <30,O00.0u0 invested In
the industry, of which about s225U0.u0
belongs TO Americans
The chief opportunities for young
men in connection with sugar raising
are in what is called cooperative farm
ing-that is, in buying or leasing
small tract of land from one of the

sold at the great factories. This is COM
paratively a new plan and quite a num-
Der of men are doing it at profit.
There is little opportunity to buy wild
land which will raise sugar, and there
are practically no sugar lands left in
the hands of the Government
Outside of sugar there are many op-
portunities for the young man to sue
coed here in the different kinds of in
tensive farming which can be profit
ably undertaken on the islands. There
is so little land, that the opportunities
for doing things on the bonanza scale
have long since gone by. In the rails

ing grain and meat for home consump-
ton and in coffee plantations there
would seem to be many openings.
This is a land of oranges, but the
fruit sells in Honolulu at twenty-five

easily grown, but they bring twenty

but if you buy them at the fruit stands
you pay fifteen cents the pound for
them, and it is so with similar fruits.
As to bananas and pineapples. it is
claimed the islands could produce
enough of them to supply all the mar
kets east of the Mississippi River. The
taking off the tariff and the reduction
of freight rates, which follows the an
nexation to the United States, makes
this countrythe tropical fruit garden
of our Western States.
So far there has been so much money
in sugar raising that everything else
has had to give way to it, the planters
lazily preferring to buy their supplies
from the outside, just as the cotton
planters of the Southern States did
when they received such high prices
for that crop. Now that the sugar lands

At present nearly everything that
goes from and comes to the islands
passes through Honolulu. and it VIII al
ways be the chief city of the region The
only place that can ever hope TO COM
pete with il is the town OF Hilo on the
Island of Hawaii Honolulu will al
ways be the seat of government and
probably always the business and
financial centre of the islands. 1t has,
however, but a small harbor, which is
taxed to its utmost with the shipping
which calls here on its way to aud from
Australia. China and Japan, and the
United States.
The young man who comes to Hawaii
will first land at Honolulu. He will
probably stop at Honolulu until he
can look about him and get some idea
of the chances. He will find that he Is
in a high-priced town and that his
board will cost him as much, or more,
than it did at home. III he has family
and attempts to keep house his rent
will be high, and he will find provisions
more expensive than in the United
States. The average living expenses
are. il is estimated, about one-third
higher i'm Honolulu than they are in
the United States.
The chief industry of the islands is
sugar, but this, as | shall show further
ON, is one requiring large capital and
expensive machinery. The best of the
Americans here do not advise men to
come to the islands unless they have
at least five or ten thousand dollars,
but others tell me there are opportuni-
ties for young men who are willing to
work in almost every line.
The young man from the States will
come hoping to get job in Honolulu
or ON one of the plantations as over
seer or bookkeeper or engineer; he can
hardly hope to take the places of the
Chinese or Japanese. The demand for
oyerseers is of course limited, and the
man should not expect to get posi-
ton much more readily than he would
at home. He will find, however, that
wages are higher, both in Honolulu and
IN the country, than in the United
States. The following are the sums
paid for the different classes of work

and blscksznishs from SD TO xlte the

on the plantations, including the above,
have their houses and nrewooc fur

to so the month and the Chinese and
Japanese common laborers about SO

In Honolulu mechanics are nov in

tiers and painters are from three to
Eve dollars for the days work OF nine

and machinists from three 10 i've dol
lars the day There are at present
about 100 mechanics on the islands, OF
whom about 500 are Chinese and Japa-
nese. There are about 800 American
mechanics and perhaps 80 Portuguese
The drivers of the carts and wagons
are principally natives. and the hand
ling of freight at the wharves Is done
By the same class. Outside of skilled
mechanics, I should not advise any Of
our young men who have nothing but
their muscle as capital TO come to
Honolulu
As to clerks and bookkeepers the sit
uation is much similar. There are
frequent opportunities 10 get posi-
tions. but not more so than In the
United States. There are already
here about 400 clerks and statesmen
who gets wages of from $50 to sl25 the
month and upward. Some are employ
ed in the stores, on the plantations,
and others in the smaller towns, but
the most are here in Honolulu. Every
large establishment must have variety
of clerks large enough to cover all the
languages in general use in the ISL
and-that is, Chinese, Japanese, Portu-
guese, Hawaiian and English
In the line of commercial travelling
there is little done in the Hawaiian
Islands, and the commercial man from
the United States, who expects TO visit
the islands to work up trade, upon
landing at Honolulu will be asked TO
pay 500 for the privilege OF selling
goods or taking orders on the Island OF
Oahu. He viii have to pay $3.50
for the same privilege on the larger of
the other islands, and, if he should
make this his residence and engage in
business, he will find that the city
charges from $50 the year upward for
a license. In all small businesses ne
will have the competition of the Chin
csc and Japanese who now have the
petty retail trade of the islands, run
ming the restaurant, the fruit stands
and small grocery stores. They are
good traders and are satisfied with
small profits.
The professions are also fairly sup
piled, there being about ninety doctors
and one hundred and one lawyers.
Among the doctors are four American
women and twenty-seven Japanese and
Chinese practitioners. The Board OF
Health employs thirty physicians IN
the hospitals and dispensaries through
out the country, but their positions
are filled, Doctors and dentists must

other parts are covered with lava.
There are perhaps 10000 acres that

amount is excellent land. The best
coffee lands are on the Island of Ha-
wall. and about 60,00o acres of this
character will be opened to settlement
by the Kohala and Hilo Railway. which
is now being surveyed.
The Government is anxious that this
land should be taken up by small
planters, and, according to law, land
can only be sold or leased in lots not
TO exceed one hundred acres. and only
to persons who will agree to keep one
fourth of the land in cultivation for
period of years. and who will agree to
live upon it. To such persons the land
is sold at low appaisement. often at

only Accommodated $500 families. so it
will be seen that the supply is limited
and the value of such lands must
eventually increase.
At present the lands are divided up
into great baronial estates owned or
leased by rich men or corporations.
Oahu has no public land available to
settlers; Kauai, the Garden Island, is
practically controlled by six corpora
tons, and the Bishop Estate owns
100000 acres outright The Parkers
control 100000 acres on the Island of
Hawaii, including $4,000 acres under
irrigation. and the small island of Nil
hau has 25,OOO sheep all owned by one
family. The chances of the young in
weston are almost exclusively limited
to the Government lands, and these are
comparatively so few that they will. in
a short time, be exhausted.

WHAT MR.. BRYAN SAYS.
A Point in the Democratic Platform
That Should BE Carefully
Considered.

"The Kansas City platform" says
Mr.. Bryan, to the Nebraska democrat
ic convention, declared one issue to
be paramount 1 want you to go home
and present this truth, that when a
government once abandons the doc
trine that it exists only by consent OF
the governed it can continue to live
only by brute force"
Every true friend and supporter OF
the democratic candidate will do as
Mr.. Bryan wishes in the matter. No
body but the republicans, assistant re-
publicans, or those who for some rea-
son desire to divide and defeat the DEM
ocratic party, will take the emphasis
from the paramount issue, to place it
on secondary issue of little real
consequence or vitality in the present
campaign.
The place for every true and loyal
democrat at this crisis is to stand on
the democratic platform; accepting
as paramount the issue made para
mount by the march of events, and ac-
cepted as such ty the democratic plat
