HAWAII'S HOPES.

The canal is longed for by us in the
mid-Pacific. Give the canal and the Pa
cific cable, and the value of these islands
will be of the greatest Importance They
are important and valuable islands now,
their value and Importance will then be
easily quadrupled. This will be the entire
port of an immense trade. 1t will also be
a great base of supply to the merchant
navies of the world. Our prosperity will
then not depend upon one branch of in
dustry only, viz, sugar, it viii depend
upon our commercial interests. There will
not be steamer passing across the broad
bosom of the Pacific that will not leave
it's due toll upon our shores. We shall
have to keep large stores of supplies on
hand, and we will be able to dispose of
agricultural products for which we have
now, practically no market.
The Americanizing of the Hawaiian
islands has been one of the steps in their
advancement. 1t has put us in position
to profit by the canal, when 1t is built, as
we never could have profited by it had
we not become territory of the United
States. Everything points to brilliant
future for It may take a few years to
realize, but it will come most certainly
If it does not come to us. it will be to
our children. One of the main factors
in this future will be the completion of
the transoceanic canal.
