ty paid to the United State CONT
mental growers under the provisions
OF the Mckinley bill. Hence the in
dustry faced disaster when it was no
longer a beneficiary Of the tariff re-
pealed by the enactment of the Nc
Kinley bill. IL was costing our COM
pany, which was fairly representative
of them all in so far as cost of pro-
duction was concerned, $7O16, or 3.OS
cents a pound, to produce sugar de.
livered at New York, which Europe
could land there at profit for less
than $50.
The result of this free sugar bill
was the introduction into Hawaii of
food of cheap indentured Oriental
labor which reduced the price of pro
duction in our case from S7016 per
ton to $43.11, and it was this period
of cheap production, lasting from 1893
to 1899, which is responsible for our
reputation of being cheap producers.
In the next period, beginning with
1899, extending to 1905, the average
cost of production rose to S59.S5, or
2.99 cents a pound, due to the enneXa-
ton of the Islands to the United
States which Immediately closed the
door to the introduction of Chinese
labor, annulled all existing indentured
labor contracts and subsequently prac-
tically closed the door to all Oriental
labor
AS we were compelled to recede
from the Oriental labor base which
had been responsible for the cheap
production of the previous period, and
readjust matters in favor of an occi-
dental base, great expenditures be-
came necessary to raise the standard
of living such as the housing of the
laborers, increases in wages, ETC., and
had we not been the beneficiaries OF
the tariff act which succeeded the re.
peal of the Mckinley bill we could not
have survived the ordeal Economies
of every nature were inaugurated, re-
cutting in the lowering of the cost OF
the manufacture of the sugar very
materially; but the cost of raising a
ton of cane, the real basis from which
to figure the relative cost of sugar in
various countries, rose from 81 tc
1926 per ton of 1000 pounds, and as
nine tons of cane of the variety we
raise are required to make a ton Of

sugar, S11.25 OF the increased cost Of
$16.74 per ton of sugar for this period
is explained by the increase in the
cost of the cane.
A. It was not possible to cut and

amount fell to from three to four tons.
Indentured laborers who were paid

cost of ten cents per ton of cane.
simultaneously with annexation came
The annulment of all labor contracts
and this price Immediately rose to
fifteen cents and is now twenty to
fifty cents, varying with the weight of
cane per acre and its physical con.
dition at the time of cutting. The
same increase took place in the cost
of loading the cane, the laying of
portable tracks and fumes, and all
other expense for labor in connection
with the harvesting, and so on
through all the various stages of oper-
alton employing hand labor.
While material savings were made
in the manufacturing expenses due to
the introduction of machinery and la
bor-saving devices, these savings were
overtopped many times by the in.

partment5 whose sole expense was
that of manual labor
We now come to the last period in
which for the year of 1910 our total
expense per ton of 1000 pounds of sug
ar, landed in New York, was $65.96,
of 1929 cents per pound, and the aver.
age for that period of five years S62.41,
or 9.12 cents per pound. The increase
is explained by the change from the
so-called day labor system to the let

SUGAR FACTORS
RAISE ESTIMATE

AS first reported in the Star on the
18th inst, the estimates being pre-
pared by the Sugar Factors Company
for the current yeas crop indicated
a yield for the Territory of well up
toward 100000 tons. Yesterday the re-
port was completed, and proved to be
even better than at first hoped.
The estimate made by Manager No
well on December l was 100000 tons
as the share of the Hawaiian crop
which the Sugar Factors Company
would be called upon to handle. His
present report, as of date May !, in
dicates that this estimate was too low
and that the so per cent which the
company will ship will amount to
about 4SS,O00 tons.
At this basis, the yield for the Isl
ends, as before reported, will be in
the neighborhood of 100000 tons foi
this year, against about 100000 tons
last year. In other words this years
crop is to be a record breaker il
size; and, according to general be
lief, will also take the lead in high
prices.
