part he said:
This glorious vessel, which we have to-day
seen touch the waters for the first time, made

craftsmen surrounded by Californian waters

The vessel. which will be known as the
third daughter Of the State is the result OF
the wonderful skill and enterprise OF the Cali

a fighting machine that is credit 10 both
the state and the nation and a machine that
may some day cover herself with glory.
When the Oregon and the Olympia were

He spoke of the beautiful women, the

people. The speaker said that there

INDUSTRIAL FACTS.
EXHIBIT A


The Territory of Hawaii depends
solely on the production of sugar.
To date. no industry has been found
that can be in any degree substituted
Tor sugar and thus diversity industry.
Rice Is the only possible cereal
This product can be raised on Hawaii
by Chinese labor only. From short.
age of this class of labor and imported
Japanese rice, this industry Is almost
bankrupt.
Sisal Is In an experimental stage
and requires many years to become es.
tablished.
Coffee Is worse than improbable
and its prospects are doubtful.
All other productions, save few
hides, wool. bananas. canned and
fresh pineapples and honey, which are
In their infancy. are perishable and
have but limited market.
Except for fresh meats Hawaii Is
obliged to import nearly IS per cent.
of the food consumed, TO say nothing
of other necessities.
To pay for this great importation Of
imperative necessities, the realiza.
lions bn sugar are the only resource.
No other product can be named that
can support the population of Hawaii.
The situation of the Territory Is Sc.
rious with a single dependence, and
that In an extremely depressed and ap.
prehensiye state.

ted for the information of the Council

proval Of your respective committees.
We recommend

tition as finally unanimously approved
by your committees.
2. That the petition be transmitted
to our Delegate. Honorable Jonah X.
Kalanianaole. by the s. s. Alameda
next week. II possible.
3. That Delegate Kuhio be urged to
have the petition introduced promptly
and printed and distributed to every
member of Congress.
4. That the Delegate be requested to
confer with Senator Mitchell regard.
| ing his bill on the subject and also
with as many other friends of Hawaii
and this present movement as pos
sible.
5. That the Delegate be furnished
with complete list of those Senators
and Representatives who replied to
the Councils circular and the sub.
stance OF the replies Of those particu.
larry anxious to take the matter up.
6. That all letters received In reply
to such circular be acknowledged and
the assistance Of the writer's solicited
for our Delegate In the matter.
The discussion of this matter has de.
veloped the existence Of a state OF
things In the sugar industry of Ha
wall that calls for deep consideration
on the part Of all good citizens. II a
common ground upon which planters
merchants, builders and mechanics
can stand is possible, 1t would, in our
opinion, benefit all.
This matter has been brought so
closely home to your committees that
we venture to step outside of our In.
structiOns far enough to recommend:
That the Honolulu Trades and Labor
Council and the Builders and Traders
Exchange go on record as favoring a
conference between representatives OF
these two organizations and the Plant
ers' Association, the Honolulu Cham
Der of Commerce and the Merchants
! Association of Honolulu should care
