THE WEEKS BUSINESS.

Business in Honolulu undoubtedly
reached it's lowest level for the year
during the week just closing. Thls
however, was to be expected. Around
tho first of the year when annual in
veutcIies and settlements are MADE
it is calculated that business will SLOW
down However, commercial trans
actions are still of volume, and what
denr ssion there is seems to appear
only in spots and to be of no vide
spread or large Importance. Retail
trade never closed better year, and
the. present dull period is generally
recosl lied as the lull presiding year
OF great business activity and develop
ment.
A. sta cement published curing the
week SLOWED the banks to be in re-
ma,kahly healthy shape, the total de-
Dosi:s for the year being more than
81. 600 600 over and above those of 1908.
No better guarantee of the stability of
commercial business is to be desired
than this superb showing on the part
of the communitys strong boxes.
The stock brokers returned to bust
ness during the week, after vacation,
to find the market just about where
they had left it on Christmas Eve.
Prices were the same all along the
line, with the difference, however, that
there was more eagerness to buy. This

1t has been generally believed that

with an average of twelve green
leaves at the time of tasselling. The
ears averaged five and a half inches
In length and four and one-third
inches in greatest circumference,
with sixteen to eighteen rows OF snail
grains. On the upper part of the
rlant the leaves are all on one side
Of the stalk instead of being arranged
In two rows on opposite sides. Besides
this, the upper leaves stand erect in
stead of dropping, and the tips of the
leaves are therefore above the top Of
the tassel. The silks Of the ear are
produced at the point, where the leaf
blade is Joined to the leaf sheath and
they appear before there is any sign
of an ear except a slight swelling.
This corn is very different from any
that is now produced in America. Its
peculiar value is that the erect ar.

breeding these desirable qualities can
be impaired to a larger corn, which
will thus be better adapted to the

corn is so different from anything in

"The physical condition of the Erie
bears, in all essential matters, evil

ance. There is no waste exhibited

This applies particularly to the shops

be reinforced in numbers before the
best results can be obtained. In the
past few years several million dol
lars have been expended in increas-

still inadequate. The roadbed is

For these figures, covering the
years 1907, 1908 and 1909, 1t will
be seen that the Erie has been put
ting into its road, bridges and build
ings as much per mile, approximately,
as the Lehigh Valley. 20 per cent.
more than the Delaware and Hudson,
and II the relation between the many
miles of four-track line on the New
York Central, compared with two
tracks on the Erie, were to be taken
into consideration, the per mile al
Iowance on both roads would be
about equal. The Erie has no pre-
tentious stations or station grounds,
it is not over-generous with paint on
it's buildings or with it's facilities for
section labor. Every dollar of ex-
penditure has to check up into an eff
ficiency result. There are none to
spare for decorations.
THE unit of greatest Importance
on a railroad is the locomotive.
What 1t does in the way of yearly
mileage, the number of failures that
it records and the cost of repairs
to keep it in condition and for fuel
and labor to run it, are the best eff
ficiency measures obtainable.
THE engines of the Erie, and this
statement Is made after a recent
careful inspection of the Lehigh VAL
ley and daily observations of the
power of the Reading and Central of
New Jersey, are a thoroughly busi-
nesslike-looking and acting lot. A
majority of those in the freight SER
vice are 100-ton to 110-ton capacity,
with exception of the Mallets, which
are twice as large. The record of
the Erie for engine failures this past
year, kept by the Public Service Com
mission, is second to the Lackawan-
ma and has been better, at inter-
walls, than that road"

Editor Review: noticed In your last

esteemed friend, Capt. Snow, in which
he said many good things. They "are
here as carload Of cattle are at the stock
yards OF any market OF the Pacific coast"
should like for the workers OF st. Johns
to study this declaration we'll. for II IS
as true as gospel. Now notice his de-
scription OF how they live: "7s or 30 will

ed civilization study the wage slave mar
ket. Now, Cap, here is something for
you: Quoting from the National Repub-
lican platform of 1884: The republican
party, having its birth In the hatred Of
slave labor, and desire that all men
may be truly free aud equal, is unutter-
ably opposed TO placing workingmen In
competition with any form Of servile la
Dor whether at home or abroad. In this
spirit we denounce the importation of
contract labor whether from Europe or
Asia ms an offense against the spirit OF
American institutions" Also republi.
can platform of 1888: 1--WE declare our
hostility to the introduction into this
country OF foreign contract labor, and of
Chinese labor, alien to our civilization,
etc., ETC." Upon this platform Benja-
min Harrison was elected president Of
the United States. In 1891 the dems-
| cratic party elected Grover Cleveland up
on similar platform. 1--WE heartily ap-
prove OF all legitimate efforts to prevent

ing grounds for the known criminals and
paupers OF Europe = to degrade
American labor and lessen its wages"
To my mind this shows that the Ameri-
can people are opposed to cheap labor.
whyi Because cheap labor "degradcs"
the 1aborers by lowering the standard OF
their living. Now, he who would de-
grade me or my home, or my town, or
state or nation Is my enemy, and should
be treated a. such. But IL that the Hin

the Hindu up; but we are opposed TO
having him drag us down. This we can
do by excluding him aud all others Of
his class from our shores. and all others
who would like to sleep with them In

see that the only thing the laborers can
do Is to organize themselves into a po.
litical party independent Of all capital
ist parties and abolish that which would
enslave them, by establishing a system
OF cooperation. Then we will not wrong
