REPEAL Of Canal TOLLSL Law Will
FURTHER INJURE SUGAR INDUSTRY
Territory as Whole Will Suffer on All Freight Imported Via
Big Ditch to the Extent of 55 or so Cents Tor-The
Steamship Companies viii Be Assessed and viii Pass
Charge Along to Shippers

With the repeal of the Panama ca
Eal tolls law, which now seems prac-
tically assured, the Hawaiian sugar
industry will have another crimp, put
in its already seriously shrunken prof
its to the tune of some $4,000 to
100000 per year. The territory as
a whole will suffer also to the extent
of an added cost on all imported
freight through the canal to the extent
of 55 or 60 cents a ton. How much
this will amount to can not be foretold
since it is dependent upon the changes
in origin of freight shipments which
the opening of the canal may cause.
OF course the reduction in freight
rates with the Atlantic seaboard which
the canal will effect for commerce,
will be a big net gain for the islands
over present rates, with the precarious
position of the sugar industry occa-
stoned by the removal of the tariff
duty, the burden of canal tolls is not
to be despised.
If the coastwise shipping is COM
PEELED to pay the same rate as foreign
NCoSClo III uSIhS lAlO do SCClu0
to be the program Of the preident and
a strong faction of Congress, it will
mean a toll fee of 81 per registered
ton for every ship passing through the
canal. c. p. Morse, general agent for
the American-Hawaiian Steamship
Company, which at present holds the
sugar carrying contracts to the Allan
tic. states that this will average on
their vessels, estimating full cargoes.
cost Of between so and so cents
per ton of cargo. awhile the tolls
are levied against the Ship said Mr..
Morse this morning, ''it really means
an added cost to the shipper, for we
shall simply tack on the amount of
the tolls to the freight rate charged.
This is of course understood by the
sugar interests. In any contracts made
in the future, the freight rate will
