York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago
brokerage houses.
He became President of the Washington
Stock Exchange in 1895, and has been
elected to that office successfully every
year since that time. His reflections
have been mark of particular favor, as

dent shall rotate from year to year, each
years vice president successfully becom-
ing president in the following year.

last horse show was one of the chief pa
irons and also one of the judges.

increase the size of the Washington

its use. 1t is his hope that a start on the
project for Washington Stock Ex-
change Building can be made during his
incLmbency president of that institu-
ton.

South: '
Branch offices Of r. G. Dun & Co.
throughout the cotton belt were asked
for brief reports on the following points:
Probable yield compared with last years,
time picking begins, extent of injury
from elements and insects. how far crop
was owned by factors and merchants for
credit and money advanced. to what eN-
tent local banks could provide funds,
whether there would be the usual call on
New York for money. the wages paid to
labor. and how far hands were readily
available. Replies are given in detail.
1T will be seen by averaging the de
spatches that with entirely favorable
weather for the rest of the season there
will be a considerable increase in pro-
duction over last years yield. while even
with only fair conditions there is good
reason to look for a larger yield than in
most years. with the exception of the two
phenomenally large crops that depressed
prices TO point where picking was aban-
doned. 1t is almost unanimously stated
that the crop will be from two TO three
weeks late, and that picking has begun
In few States. while II will be as late as
September 10 at most points. While al
ternate excuses of heat and rain are re-
sponsible for the lateness there has been
little actual loss. and the references to in
sects are exceptionally optimistic.
In its financial aspect the situation at
the South is bright with promise. Much
of the crop is fully mortgaged, and adj
vances by merchants will take a large
part of the money received. but il is most
encouraging to find that less than the GUS
tomary proportion of the yield already be-
longs to factors. Large profits on the pre-
vious crop and diversifcation of industry
have put planters in more Independent
position. So also the local banks are
stronger, and will not be compelled to call
upon New York for funds as largely as
heretofore. Labor has found other en-
ployment in many new fields recently
opened. and as a result wages are higher
than ever before This threatens to d.
minish cotton growers profits, and may
make ii difficult to pick the crop promptly.
The coal stocks generally have been par
tlcularly strong. Investment demand has
played a larger part in their buoyancy
than in that of the grangers, and manipu-
lation has been less in evidence. The out
look for the coal trade is especially good.

market was given good support by local
bulls. rallied some. and remained dull

Oats were lower in sympathy with the
easier tone Of other grains, but the de-

outside accounts. The cash demand is

HONOLULU PLANTATION AND
AMERICAN FUTURE.

The Presidents reference to labor
and Industrial conditions in these Isl.
ands has been the signal for a general
prating on what cannot be done. This
man says the scheme of small farmers
IL chimerical In the extreme, that one
says that any other labor on the plan
tations than that now employed means
ruination for all concerned and that
any change from the present methods
OF handling labor leads to the same dis
tressing but no less positive result.
There can be no doubt that there is a
large degree OF honest opinion in these
various expressions. Granting the
honesty OF the opinion, 1t is thrice gra-
tifying TO those interested in progress
sive work-nOt forever harping on
what can't be done--to note on one OF
our local plantations a management
which looks to the possibilities and the
probabilities Of the future. The work
is going on at our doors on the most
recently promoted sugar plantation on
this island.

The inbred dishonesty OF the Thurs
ton organ has been recently expomsed
by its utterances on cheap plantation
labor followed by the publication of a
pure fabrication to the effect that ia
panese laborers are soon to be brought
TO the Islands at the rate of 1000
month. No one knows better than
Thurston that the Misrepresentation
regarding the incoming Of japanese Ia
borers is more damaging to the ma.
terial interests of this Territory at this
time than any discussion of the labor
question can possibly be. The lie
which his organ presents as matter
OF fact can serve only to arouse the
prejudice OF Mainland forces arrayed
against Hawaii. A lie travels on fleet
wings. and II Is by no means improb-
able that the Hobbies Of the capital will
resound with the assertion that ia
panese are pouring into Hawaii at the
rate of 1000 q month" and quote the
official organ of the Territorial Gov
ernor as authority. II Is one thing to
honestly differ with a man or associa-
tion of men and quite another to cir
culate lies. As medium of lies the
Thurston organ has no superior.

men from the Mainland. His planta-
ton employs at the present time cheap
labor. Asiatic labor any labor that
will go into the fields and do the work. /
The plantation will undoubtedly con-
tinue to employ this labor as long as II
is available; that is way plantations
and all other business or Industrial en-
terprises have of doing the world over. |
One of the most notable features o!
the Honolulu plantation management, |
however, is the preparation for the fu- |
,ure. The management recognizes that
Chinese are an impossibility at ths
nrrseni time. II Is also accepted that
fine Federal Government will do all in
its power to advance the small or IN
dependent farmer. With these posi-
hilitics in view captains of this particu-
lar property are not raising their voice
against the ignorance of the American
people nor of those placed In control
OF national policies. On the contrary

China can hardly be credited with
being foremost in its exhibition Of ma
terial gratitude. The United States
stood staunchly between China and the
European grabbcrs during the recent
unpleasantness. but when it comes to
casting up the national trade accounts
It appears that the Americans have
been the least favored. Their trade has
fallen off and Russian. German ana
British tradesmen have taken the
cream. Judging from this. the Ameri-
cans will make money and gain pres.
tige by treating China like dog when
the next embroglio comes of.
