demonstrates conclusively that the
laborers and cane farmers being the
greatest benefciaries of the protec-
ton the Territory of Hawaii has re-
ceived through the existing tariff on
sugar, it is hoped will be entitled to
as much primary consideration as are
the refining interests.
Change Might Be Disastrous.
BY this time this question becomes
pertinent What will happen to che
Territory if changes are made. in the
tariff at this time which will force us
to swap horses in the middle of the
stream we are attempting to cross ?
Much has been done to lay the foun-
dation for a new Hawaii which has
been so assiduously advocated by all
the representatives of the Federal
government who have visited the Ter.
ritory, in the making of which its tax
payers are contributing literally from
the benefits received through the
present tariff.
In order to demonstrate that the
reduction of the tariff will result in
the reversal of the policy of occiden
TALKING Hawaii, l will show how il
will operate in putting the Islam .
back to the oriental basis existing al
the time of annexation. AS 80 pei

in Hawaii will be compelled TO e

cheap laborers engaged in sugar pro

wise shipping laws. Foreign shipping
cannot compete for our freights. so
we cannot expect much OF a reduc.
ton In the marketing expenses, and
owing to the fact that labor-saving
machinery has already been installed
wherever possible, but little in the
manufacturing and other expenses,
therefore the brunt of the reduction
will fall on the producer of the raw
product who in the near future will
be the cane farmer of occidental orr.
gin, in whose interests the Federal
government has been instrumental in
inducing the planters of Hawaii TO
more than double the cost of pro-
ducing a ton of cane.
IT, as claimed by some, the passage
of this bill will reduce the price of
sugar to the consumer 2 cents a
pound, or $40 ton of 1000 pounds,
, let us see what effect it will have On
the price paid by the mill for the
cane In the manufacture of one
| ton of sugar nine tons of cane must
be bought from the farmer at 81 per
ton. BY computation the reduction
amounts to S444 per ton of cane, and
the company in which am interested,
so far as I can see, is out of bust
ness as well as the cane farmer If
the price of sugar is reduced by one
cent and half, or $50 per ton, the
reduction per ton of cane will amount
to 1898; if one cent, or 500 ton
So a ton of cane.
AS matter of fact, in order &c
hasten the fruition of the policy which
seeks to occidentalize Hawaii, the
mills should be enabled to pay the
farmer more rather than less for hi
cane. 1t is obvious what will happel
if they are forced to meet the price
paid per ton of cane in Java, For
mosa and Cuba, to which I have al
ready called your attention.
A Most Serious Question.
All who have read the Hardwicl
committees report and listened al
tentively to the hearings which hav
taken place before this committee, es
pecially those of Senator-elect Brus

more particularly to the internationa

tenance of the status quo pending the
establishment of legislation whereby
all such matters shall be continuously
supervised by experts as they are in
European countries. There a policy
has been established which, as so
ably explained by Mr.. Kinds in the
House, has resulted in keeping the pro-
duction of sugar throughout the world
so completely under control and free
from domination by any one power
that while other food products have
, increased in price during the last
decade from % per cent to 40 per
cent, sugar has advanced less than
l per cent from 1896 to 1909. Does
not this significant fact justify the
hope that like system applied to tho
regulation of the production and price
of those food products which, by their
excessive rise in price during the
same period, is largely responsible
for the high cost of living, would pro-
vide a solution for the most vexed
question now agitating the American
people, more especially when experts
show that the passage of the bill now
under consideration, in so far as il
relates to the reduction of the price
of sugar to the consumer, would sub
sequently aggravate rather than re
lieve the situation.

This price of 81 ton of sugar for

Those operating by steam would car

The above makes a total maximum
