HAWAIIAN ISLANDS;
THEIR PRODUCTION

The development of the Hawaiian
Islands under American guidance is
illustrated by figures presented in
document just received by the Bureau
of Statistics Department of Com
merce and Labor. The document, en-
titled The Hawaiian Annual, 1872"
is issued annually by Mr.. Thomas G.
Thrum, of Honolulu, and presents sta
tistics of the production, commerce,
finance, population, and education in
those islands during term of years
down to 1911.
The figures of growth since the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United
States and, indeed, since the reci-
procity treaty of 1876 between the
islands and the United States, by
which freedom of commercial inter
change with this country was estab-
lished and investments of American
capital thus assured, are extremely
interesting. A table shows, for exam
pie, the production of sugar, by far
the most important product of the
Hawaiian Islands, from 1875 down to
and including 1911. The production
of sugar in 1875, the year Immediately
prior to the adoption of the reciprocity
treaty, is given at 25 million pounds !;
by 1881 it had grown to "a million
pounds in 1891, 275 million; in 1901,
691 million; in 1910, Ill million; and
in 1911, 1,011 million pounds or 40
times as much in 1911 as in 1875
The value, which was stated at l IA
million dollars in 1875, was given at
SO ga million in 1911, or 30 times as
much in 1911 as in 1875. Thus the
quantity of sugar produced in 1911 is
40 times as great as in the year inn
mediately prior to the beginning OF
reciprocity, and the value 30 times
as great, the relative difference in
increase between quantity and value
being due, of course, to reduction In
prices of sugar meantime.
OF this increase of practically one
billion pounds in the sugar production
of the Hawaiian Islands since the
adoption of the reciprocity agreement
with the United States, more than one
half has developed since annexation
| which occurred in the year 1898. The
sugar production of 1897, the year i'm
J mediately prior to that of annexation
} was, according to the table in ques
ton, $40 million pounds, as against
: rs million in 1875, the year immedi
ately preceding the reciprocity treaty
I'LL million pounds in 1910 and 1,011
! million in 1911. Thus the increase II
sugar production in the islands dur
: ing the % years of reciprocity, 1875
to 1898, was 495 million pounds, and
, during the period since annexation
1898 to 1910. was SOP million pounds
Sugar, however, is not the only
product Of the Hawaiian Islands. The
J statements show numerous other ar
tic1es or products Of the islands, indi
eating that the recent attempts at di
versificaion Of production have beer

Since there is no good reason why

This would. incidentally make the
game faster, as the catcher consumes
several seconds on every pitched bali

saved would make the game shorter BY
