WHY PLANTERS ARE APPRE-
HENSIVE.

HENSIVE.
| I have visited many of the principal
plantations, and talked with the
managers and proprietors about the
/ economic future of Hawaii, and what
| the effect would be on their principal
| industry if Cuba came under the polit-
| zeal control of the United States, and
the present tariff on Cuban sugar was
abandoned. With hardly an exception,
I found these men, most of whom are
Americans. apprehensive about the
future. Naturally, in the interest of
their own pockets, they are opposed to
Cuban annexation, or the abandon
ment or reduction of the tariff on SUI
gar. coming from Cuba into the United
States There was some slight divers
ity of opinion among them as to the
proba BILE effect of Cuba's loss of indie
pendence.
The more pessimistie of the manag-
efs and proprietors of the great sugar
estates of Hawaii declared unreserved-
lv that if the import duty % Cuban
sugar was abolished, the sugar indus
try in the Hawaiian Islands would be
a absolutely ruined. and that the great
plantations, and the millions of dollars
invested in them. would be total
loss. They said that sugar could not
he produced in Hawaii to compete with
the Cuban product on equal terms, and
that the present high tariff was neces-
sary to prevent this Territory of the
United States from becoming an abso- |
lutte bankrupt. Hawaii has no great |
crop, like tobacco in Cuba, |
n nreserve her from economic dis /
tress should her principal crop be a |
failure.
Other planters held more hopeful
view of the future in the event or

who are in Washington every winter
viii make a most active and deter
mined opposition, whenever the pro-
posal is brought up in the Congress
of the United States to admit Cuba IN
der permanent American protection
and control. This fact should be borne
In mind by those persons who believe
that the continued, peace and prosper
ity of Cuba would be best served by a
continuance Of the present interven-
ton and the abolishment of the tariff
on Cuban products coming into the
United States.
This production Of sugar in Hawaii
is far more difficult and complicated
a business than in Cuba. It is claimed
by the Hawaiian sugar planters, and
not without reason, that they have the
most highly organized and most thor
oughly scientific agricultural system
of any country in the world. So great
are the initial costs for making a sugar
plantation in Hawaii productive that
the plants have to be managed on an
exact economic basis to make them pay
returns on the investment. 1t is MOTH
ing uncommon for a sugar plantation
an irrigation system.
THE LABOR PROBLEM.
The labor supply is another facto~ of
large Importance. At present Japanese
do most of the work. An experiment
in bringing over Porto Ricans TO work
in the cane fields proved a failure be-
cause Of the low moral character and
general worthlessness of the part;cu-
lar immigrants who were brought over.
The Hawaiian planters are now turn
ing to Portuguese labor, and two or
three ship loads have been brought to
Honolulu to be distributed among the
various plantations. A recent decision
of Attorney General Bonaparte has
brought a temporary stop to this as
sisted immigration.
1t seems not improbable that Cuba's
destiny will be in some slight measure
linked with that of Hawaii in the COM
ing decade because of their primacy
as sugar. producing countries. The
people most deeply interested in the
political future of Cuba with relation
to the United States would do well to

WHAT EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
SHOW.
The Territory of Hawaii exported to
the United States during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1906, sugar, coffee,
rice, fbers, fruits, honey, beeswax,
hides and skins, raw wool, tallow. and
molasses to the total value of $685. |
463. Her imports from the United |
States during the same period were |
OF the total exports the !
value of the sugar was $25, 49,, 427. 1t |,
is obvious that the difference between !
the $26,000000 of exports and the $11,- !
100000 of imports went almost wholly |
into the pockets of the sugar produce |

matters, and only too often II falls to
another less imaginative person to per.
feet and protect the invention so as
TO apply 1t for general use, while the
inventor himself probably gains little
profit out Of the transaction.
This, / believe, was actually the case
with the inventor Of the macintosh.
which might otherwise have been
known to posterity by the name of
Morrison.
At the beginning of the last century
Scotchman named Morrison invent
ed a waterproof material, and In or
der to test its reliability he clothed
himself In an entire garb Of 1t and
went out in the posrIng rain. The gar
ment kept out the damp, but 1t also
prevented all evaporation from the
heated body enveloped In It. Mr.. Nor
rison died as the result OF bis expert
ment, and a subordinate in bis office
took out n patent and rescued the wa
terproof from oblivion under the name
Of the macintosh. This is proof posi-
tive as to the Importance Of patenting

quence. The macintosh has now a
worldwide reputation, and the original
patentee or his heirs must have profit

To Protect Skirts.

A useful hint for the stenographer or
for any business woman who must
spend much time at an office desk Is
TO spread a newspaper under her
chair. Office floors, whether covered or
not and most Of them are bare In
summer. get very dusty, to say the
least. and white and light colored
skirts suffer thereby.
1t IS extravagant to have to put a
dress In the wash when all that Is
the matter with 1t Is an extremely
dirty hem; but, on the other hand,
that hem initiates against further use.
Prevent It by protecting your skirt
as far as possible, and, II this is I'M
possible in walking. at least keep the
space around your desk free from dust
and other varieties Of dirt.
II Is hardly necessary to say that
-tAe newspaper must be changed at
least once. daily, for paper is no more
immune from uncleanllness than are
other materials.

A few transactions in pig iron are
recorded at further concessions, but
as rule the furnace owners insist
on former quotations, and prefer to
shut down rather than offer better
terms. Restriction OF steel production
has gone still further. some depart
ments now operating less than half
the total capacity. Wire mills are the
most active. and output Of tin plates
exhibits the greatest contraction. In
all divisions the tonnage OF new con-
tracts is small and no developments
are anticipated until after January !.
