SAN FRANCISCO MERCHANTS
ARE APPEALED TO.
July %. 1904.

F. J. Symmes, Esq, President San
Francisco Merchants Association
San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: 1t has been deemed ex-
pedient and desirable by the Mer-
chants Association of Honolulu to ad-
dress the Merchants Association of
San Francisco in connection with a
matter that it is believed will appeal
to the favorable consideration of your
very representative body.
The report of a special committee,
as adopted by our association, sets
forth in itself amply the lines upon
which it is sought to actively inter-
est our San Francisco friends, and we
therefore beg to enclose a copy of such
report for your perusal and endorse
ment, to such extent as the interests
of your community may seem to dictate.
San Francisco has for so long been
intimately connected in a commercial
sense, not only with Honolulu but with
the islands generally, that we have
naturally come to the conclusion that
in many channels our interests are
mutual and it is in order for you to
correct US if we are in error. We feel,
however, that we may safely rely on
your cooperation and assistance in
contention that must have adjustment
sooner or later, and one that is felt
by US to be important for early deter
rnination. Without, then, repeating
the suggestions that are contained in
the report herewith presented, our as
ISOLATION is anxious to learn if it may
rely on the cooperation and influence
of the San Francisco Merchants AS
ISOLATION in our effort to obtain more
reasonable passenger rates between
our respective cities, and we are very
DESTROYS that you should advise us at
the earliest possible date as to the at
t;tude of your association in the
premises, and if your conclusions are
favorable, to receive your suggestions
and advice.
1t is considered here, as indicated in
the report of our committee, that our
best interests lie with San Francisco,
ard that there is greater mutually
of interests between Honolulu and
your city than between any other two
points that could be named on the Pa
cific Coast and this Territory, but your
commercial bodies may not agree with
this view.
May We therefore solicit your courte-
ous consideration of this communica-
ton, and of the report above alluded
to, and an early response indicating
The position you may deem it to your
pest interests to assume.
Anticipating the pleasure of your re-
ply, we are.
Very truly yours,

that the reply from the Oceanic Steam
ship Company, was based upon such
refusal and We believe that if We had
been successful in obtaining such
guarantee of freight, the Oceanic
Steamship Company would at once
have forwarded a favorable response
The suggestion has been made that
the association should approach the
Observation-Disclosures Steamship Com
pany, and endeavor to negotiate with
them 10 convert one or more of their
steamers into passenger boats, and it
has been indicated that such proposal
would be likely to have favorable con-
sideration on this question your COM
rnittee is not entirely in accord-the
view being advanced on the one hand
that We should avail ourselves of any
possible opportunity to obtain cheaper
passenger rates, and on the other hand
it is held that no contract should be
entertained that will not guarantee
first-class service at fair rates, and
that the awaiian-American line con-
sisting of freight steamers can neither
give the speed nor accommodations
that will meet the requirements.
Therefore, We have not endeavored to
negotiate feeling that some definite
contract for down freights would be
required by the Hawaiian American
Steamship Company. There are ample
indications both from the reply of the
San Francisco Merchants Association,
and also from personal letters to MEM
bers of this committee. that the San
Francisco Commercial bodies are will
ing to cooperate with US, but it does

Association.
July %, 1904
To the President and Members, Ha-
waiian Planters Association, City
Sirs: The undersigned, a special
committee of the Merchants Associa-
ton, are instructed to solicit the CO.
operation and assistance of the Plant
ers' Association in behalf the mercan-
tile interests of this city to the end
of obtaining lower and more equitable
passenger fares between this Territory
and the Pacific Coast. Conditions of
trade in all lines point to the necessi-
ty of taking whatever steps may be
available towards the improvement of
business. and inducing increased con-
fidence throughout the community. The
Merchants Association are convinced
that one of the most important and
necessary measures to this end. and
that which will afford the speediest re-
lief, is the adoption of methods that
will induce increase of travel between
this Territory and the mainland of the
United States
It is submitted that the present
tariff for passenger rates between Ha-
wall and the Pacific Coast is both ar
bitrary and exorbitant as compared to
other points in Pacific travel, and
that such rates are largely prohibitory
to the volume of tourist travel that
might be enjoyed if more reasonable
fares were asked. AS a primary meth
Cd, therefore having as its object the
promotion of increased travel to Ha-
wall, the Merchants Association, !
this committee. solicit the &C
tive cooperation and assistance of the
interests in providing a
sufficient amount of outgoing cargo to
enable and facilitate arrangements to
be made with the best available yes
sci or vessels, either under contract or
by charter. providing for such salts

behalf the several plantation interests,
will furnish such guarantee, and
place the same at the disposal of the
Merchants Association for the pur-
poses specified, it being understood
that such freight is to be carried at
the same rates as pertain to other con-
current sugar cargOes.
1t is represented that, while such a
concession from the planting interests
would in itself be a slight sacrifice on
ly, and one that appears to necessitate
merely a slight readjustment of freight
carrying arrangements, a favorable
and generous response could not fail
to have a beneficial effect in tending
greatly to restore general confidence,
aside from any material advantage
that would accrue to the community
as a whole.
Wherefore your kind consideration is
urged to the foregoing, and a favora-
BILE and early reply solicited.

Gentlemen: Referring to your letter
of the 23rd of July, bearing on pas
senger rates between San Francisco
and Honolulu:
We have carefully considered your
suggestions, and viewing the question
on all sides, and the difficulties in
volved, we do not see our way at the
present time, to put in the reduced
rates you suggest for individuals.
We call your attention to the party
rate of $40 now in effect which is good
on any steamer of the lines now ply
ing between here and Honolulu, and
to return by any steamer
If a reduced rate were made by the
S S. Alameda. it would not work out
satisfactorily for the reason that pas
sengers holding return reduced rate
pa ssa ge orders would insist on return
ing by the larger steamers. and such
orders would not be accepted by the
Pacific Mail steamers.
We regret therefore. that it is not
feasible to accede your suggestions at
the present time to make a differential
passage rate by the s. s. Alameda

MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS
HAVE SPICY INTERCHANGE

not appear advisable to approach
them empty handed, or until we are
prepared to make a definite freight
proposal from this end.
SUGAR MEN INCONSISTENT
Your committee have noticed with
surprise and pleasure the declaration
of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation, as published in the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser of January IL,
to the effect that they desire to CO.
operate with other residents of the
Territory. in many desirable ways. and
that they believe that special efforts
should be made to the end of increas-
ing the American population.
1t is submitted that the attitude of
the Planters Association in refusing
to entertain either of our proposals to
them, is inconsistent with such decla-
ration, and we beg to suggest that the
guarantee of freight, or support to a
subsidy as asked for, would present
to the minds of your committee a con-
Yincing proof of sincerity and good
faith.
With reference to the disavowal of
a desire to fill this Territory with
cheap labor to the exclusion of Amer
lean labor, it is submitted that this
fas already been thoughtlessly done to
point of extreme danger, not only to
Others but also to the sugar inter-
ests. This committee nevertheless halls
with delight the indicated revolution
of ideas, and trusts these may soon
take definite and practical form. We
submit that no better field of activity
in this direction presents itself than
in the promotion of tourist travel. as
0ne means of Introducing an increase
Of American population.
Your committee deprecates the tone
of the last reply of the Planters AS
ISOLATION, through it's president.
Neither the Merchants Association nor
this committee has intimated that
there are two distinct camps"
the Planting and the Mercantile
both totally disregardful of the inter
ests of the other" as stated by the
letter of the Planters Association. Nor
can this committee see that in present.
ing some pertinent arguments, that it
has wandered from the original prop
osition."
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-01-26
COOPERATION NECESSARY.

On the contrary, this committee has
presented the necessity as well as the
desira bility of cooperation of all in
terests, not only to counterfeit the
damage that has already been done,
but also for improvement and proven
ton in the future of such a dangerous
preponderance of cheap labor as
against the legitimate white citizen,
and we should regret exceedingly, if in
somewhat forcefully presenting our
plea, We should have been misunder-
stood, or have justly caused the irri-
tation that is apparent in the reply
of the Planters Association.
If on the other hand this discussion
may in any way tend to bring about
a better mutual understanding, and
promote the idea of concerted and joint
consideration of all measures that
vitality affect the welfare of the whole
community, as this question of it's
future population unequivocably does,
then a great advance will have been
made
In conclusion it is submitted that the
question of obtaining reduced steamer ,
rates, as a means OF inducing tourist
travel, is a vital one, that should re- !
ceive the continued efforts of every /
of this association.
Your committee, therefore, submits
the above for your further considera- |
ton.
We finally recommend that the asso-
citation also debate the advisability of
to secure a subsidy from
the legislature, and on what lines this
should be based.
