Kane's name appears as sponser for any attraction il may be accepted as a foregone con- clusion that il is of the very first quality.
 The Manhattan Opera company, un- der the personal direction of MT. Kane, Is coming to the Shubert theatre for an engagement of four nights and two special matinees commencing Monday afternoon. December 25, and the theatre patrons and music lovers in this city have a rare treat in store for them.

This shows that the amount of cap
ital invested has more than doubled in
ten years, while the value of the ma
terial used in the different enterprises
has almost doubled, and the value of
the product manufactured has almost
doubled, increasing by $21 ,955,0 S3, or
at the rate of almost $2,200,000 year.
IN the foundry and machine shops of
the Territory the value of the manu-
featured products has more than
doubled in the last ten years, increasing
from 81, JOY 900, in 1900, up to $2,23S,-
667 as shown by this years census.
The growth of the rice and sugar
investments and outputs on these Is
lands, during the last ten years of a
protective tariff is remarkable, and it
must be remembered that McCandless
is now the Hawaiian exponent of free
trade policy that would destroy them.
The value of the rice output has in
creased by more than 81, 100000 in each
and every one of the last ten years,
while the value of the sugar output
shows gain of more than $2,000,000
year. Ruin these two big industries,
as McCandless wants to do, and the
effect upon every other business in the
Territory, and upon the people work
ing in them, would be disastrous. 1t is
impossible to imagine or describe the
ruin and wreckage to homes that the
Democrat polley of free trade, which
MeCandless represents, would bring
upon our happy and prosperous people
living on these beautiful Islands. The
following comparisons should be studied
by every voter in the Territory:
