THE BANANA TRUST

Inc mann ulncu1tleS when we naQ
70 contend with were, first. that the
banana trust, which now supplies the
whole United States with bananas, has
made up its mind to prevent competi-
tion from Hawaii as far as possible.
Our shipments were so far apart, about
once in five weeks only from Hilo, that
! they, were always notified when one of
our shipments was coming forward, and
had ample time to stock up the market
before our bananas got there, or to
lower the price, or both, so that we
Were always selling against a glutted
market. Our shipments were so in
frequent that they could afford to do
this, raising the prices between our
shipments, so that, as whole, they
made money, whereas we lost.
Gin the second place, the banana
trust is handling the bluefelds banana,
which is better packer than the Chi
nese, in that it remains longer on the
bunch, and does not diseolor, whereas
the China banana, which we export, be-
comes quickly over-ripe, spotted and
drops off the bunch when ripe.
HILO BANANAS TURN BLACK.
SIN the third place, the China ba-
mana produced in Hilo turns black in
San Francisco before it is fairly ripe
and becomes unstable. We used every
effort to find what caused this, but SO
far have been unable to ascertain, al
though we think it is owing to the
fact of its being raised in such rainy
climate, and it must be due to some
form of fungus growth or effect. We
thought at first it was owing to being
packed wet, but satisfied ourselves that
this was not the cause, by having the
wrapping picked beforehand and kept
in dry warehouses, and having the
punches dried before they were pack
ed. This blackening of the fruit was
the most serious obstacle which we en-
countered. The bananas from Homo
lulu, which grow in a dryer climate do
not suffer from this cause and the
shippers make a margin of profit.
81 think that Mr.. Andrews is right
in his view that most of the fresh fruit
dealers in San Francisco are unrelia-
bic and that anyone who trusts to
their honesty and efficiency will get
left.
FAITH IN BLUEFTELD BANANAS.
81 am glad to hear that Mr.. An
drews was successful with his bluefelds
experiment. I have caused several
punches of bluefelds to be sent up
from Hilo and they arrived in San
Francisco all right and retained their
color. | have great hopes that when
enough of these plants have been prop
| agated to enable commercial shipment
| thereof, the exporting of bananas from
| HIlo can once more be successfully I'M
dertaken.
SO fundamental necessity to success.
however, will be that the exporter shall
not rely upon the San Francisco fruit
dealers but shall have an independent
agent who will see to placing the ba
nanas before they arrive there

THE GREATEST SHAME.

If the most valuable and important possession of the
workngman citizen is his vote, he ought to think much
about the casting of it he does about the feeding of his
horse dog, and he ought be protected in it's

The voter who negects to vote has right to kick
if John Rockefeller has better show in the courts than
he has, or If water, gas street railway hogs Cypress

One of the troubles about settling national issues lies
in the fact that the people capable of voting inellg
don't vote They simply lazy and selfish in respect
OF the very duty which must make unmake this nation
and its form of government. They don't take the time
from their individual selfish business They say to them

But what be said of rape of the of those who

operations by those who defeat the popular suffrage?

a GOLD BRICK

lights and the markings of his
Yankee hOme-cratt were upon him
in a hundred verdant manifesto

Hiram from Pasquedunk stopped
to the entrance of the Mogul Cigar
store. J. Frederick Colvin, the
blase proprietor, chaffed him, wink
ing at a group of small boys who
stood near.
And then a maid of middle-teen-
age stepped beneath Colvin's great
Indian Mogul sign. She had big,
