Al! t'.v.i' makes it insr of obiecls. here and there, and the rattle j turnalistic skulls. The contention of the Advertiser that thctv is room tor whit European or oilier while laborers for the sugar Imitations and at the same time room for-homesteadois is correct and it is equally, true that the one would ho of great benefit to the oilier. Any farming community must have local markets for its pro duce, that cannot bo shipped in order to make the most possible, out of the land and none but those who are wealthy can afford to raise such produce that must be shipped away and hope to make their enterprize a paying proposition. Yith the Oriental population almost exclusively employed on the plantations at the present time there is but little opportunity for the white producers to dispose of their products to local consum ers. The Orientals use but little that is produced locally nnd what they do use they prefer to boy from their own countrymen. If however there was a large white population employed in the cane fields those who would come to make homes on the public lands would find a ready market for their produce that would necessarily have to find a local market and such sales would great ly add to their incomes and probably carry the homesteaders until the better paying crops that require time could be placed on the markets of the mainland. With white laborers and white settlers Hawaii would be not only the Paradise of the Pacific but the Paradise of the world. Our Democratic Those claiming to be Democrats have met Friends. in convention and organized for the coming contest. That some of them are Democrats at heart we do not doubt. That a number of them have the welfare of the community at heart we do not question. . That, a number of those who are on the Executive County Central Committee are in the party for revenue only we verily believe and base this belief on an acquaint ance with certain of the gentlemen in question. In business, opposition is known as the life of trade. In politics it is necessary to have good healthy opposition in order to keep those in Dower on the alert and watchful for the welfare of the community or else things becoue slack and in time in an unsatis factory condition. We see no improvement over the leaders of the Home Rule f arty in a number of those who are apparently at the head of the Demo cratic party and would strongly advise those who have thought of casting their lot with the Democrats to study carefully the per sonelle of the leaders of the opposition party before making the mistake of their lives, politically by joining them. Certain changes are badly needed iti the Republican party but instead of deserting the party on this account we believe that a great majority of the needed changes can be made by standing to gether and working for the better state in the Republican party than by becoming turncoats in the time of need. We believe that a very great majority of those elected to oflice by the Republican party should be re elected and th:t whatever other changes are desirable cun bj made by the members of the party at the primaries and precinct club, meetings. Escapes Serious Loss by Hiee. Judgo A. N. Kepoikai came Dear sustaining a serious loss by fire Thurs day night. As he and Mrs. Kepoikai were re turning home after a walk early in the evening a light, was noticed in their new palatial residence on Main Street that is nearing cms petition. Hurrying home they found that an oil bcx was blazing in one of the rooms. The A 'unit s given and assistance rendered and the tire was soon extiuquNlied vwlhout doing serious damage. 'Had the fire not beeu discovered hi time the building would probably have been burned to the ground and while the building is partly insured the loss to the Judge would have been between twenty five hundred and three thousand dollars. Judge Kepoikai has exercised the utmost precautions to prevent a tire and has had the shavings swept up each day and how a tire could have been started is a mystery that may not be solved ur.'.oss the puer of a hat that was found near t lie blaze will call for his hat and explain how the same originated. Much credit is due those who as sisted in putting the fire for which service the judge feels grealful. The fire cart and hose were started for the scene but oing to the prompt action of those at the fire the services of the firemen were n.H needed. PUBLIC AUCTION.

ELEC1ION OF OFFICERS OUII PROSPBUITY. 1" or the benelit of those who are inclined to he pessimistic we print the- following circular letter which has been sent out by Sttk!ebak r Brothers Company. "The following is a portion of a report recently made by secretary of interiror Wilson of the United Mates ijuvernment, which we would like very much to have vou carefully read." i he corn crop of 1 1)0 1 is cstmiat ed at one billion three hundred and fifty in II ion, and it is 2C"i abov the .average value ot the previous five crops. The farm value of tl co' n crop of eigjit such years i 1007 would pay for duplicating every mile of steam railroads in the United States and pay for their costly terminals, rolling stock and all propoity. In 13 years it would replace the present bahking power of this country in hanking capital, surplus, deposits and circulation. In 17 years it would replace the banking power of the world. Hay Crop. This crop estimated at six hundred anil sixty million, and its value is 2f)''o higher than a year ago. Oats Crop. This year's crop is worth three hundred and sixty million, and in quantity is a gain of 20"o in value in comparison with the last five year average. In total value the seven cereal crops for l'J()7 make a new high record, that is, tvo hundred and .ninety six million dollars ahead of 190li. The farming value of these cereals for this year is estimated to be two billion three hundred and' seventy eight million, or 23 above the average of tjie previous five years. Wealth products on farms for 11)07 as expressed in value trans cended the high record of 190G which was itself much above the highest amount before reached. The grand total of farm values for 11)07 is seven billion four hundred and twelve million, and it is six hundred and fifty seven million above the value of 11)00. It is two billion six hundred and ninty five million above the census amount for 181)1). During the last nine years wealth estimated was created on farms to the fabulous amount of fifty three billion dollars. Farm dairy products in 11)07 reach ed nearly eight hundred million. Poultry and eggs are valued in 1007 at bix hundred million. While the animals sold from farms and slaught ered on them in 1007 were worth about one billion two hundred and seventy million. The balance of trade in farm products in favor of this country in 1007 was four hundred aud forty f, ur million, an amount that has been exceeded in only four years, 'OS.-'DD '11)01 '02. The miner cannot restore the mineral to the mine. With the farm er it is different. The primal forces and atoms of jhe universe are his The sun tl.iacs and the rain falls, and the farmer applies his art, science and inexhaustible resources by add ing enormously to tho country's weailh, capital, credit and welfare. We have not attempted anything in the sky rocket line in the above we have given you facts and figures from the highest autt.ority in the United States. If yoa can find any thing anywhere that indicates that the farmer, and ho is the mau we are dependent upon, is not a logical, pro liable and possible custom er for u both, we will be thankful if you wills let 'us know where and what it is.
