SbeltOD. of BostoD, who has been for many years engaged in the sngar trade, in which be eipreswa the belief that steps are al ready Leinj takon to defraud the revenue, under corer ol the reciprocity treaty. I will be greatly obliged if you will forward t. me, aa soon as practicable, a report embodying your riewa, and all information you can obtain, respecting the practical operation and resnlts of the treaty aa affecting the interests of the Unit. l States. I desire particularly to be informed as to whether sugars produced in other countries an brought to the Hawaiian Islands and subsequently shipped to tLe United Stated for free entry under the provisions of the 'treaty. It is desirable that such information as you may be able to obtain on this snbject shall be forwarded to me before the meeting of Congress, so that it may be referred to in my annual report. John Smkrmax. Secretary. Dk. Jaxfs Scott. U. S. Consul, Honolulu, Hawaiian Island.'. REPORT OF DR. JAMES SCOTT. United Statks Consulate. Honolulu, II. I.. Au'tiet 9, 1678. Mr Dear Sir: Your favor of June 28th last, enclosing the letter of Mr. Pbilo S. Sbellon, of Boston, expressing the belief that steps are al ready being taken to defraud the revenue under the cover of the reciprocity treaty between tbe United States and this Government, is received. You ask me to forward you a report embody ing my views, and all information I can obtain respecting tbe practical operations and results of the treaty a affecting the United States." and, particularly, as to whether sugars produced in other countries are brought into tbe Hawaiian Inlands and subsequently shipped to the United States for free entry under the provisions of tbe treaty." The reciprocity treaty between the United States and the Hawaiian Government, in its operation and results, is a bonanza to these Inlands, especially tbe sugar-planters and rice growers. I wish I could say it were so with the United States. Instead of the benefits being recip rocal between the two countries, we get nothing, but are largely tbe losers, financially, as I think I can explain to your satisfaction by figures and facts. In the year ending December 31, 1877. there were bhipped from this country to the United States : Sunar, 23,500,478 pounds; average duty remit ted on the same .2 81-100 cents per pound, by the I'm ted States Kite, 2.C27.3-J5 pounds; duty remitted on the time, 2 '4 cents per pound Paddy, 2,571,987 pounds; duty remitted on tbe same, 1H rents per pound MolaHSes, 111,843 gallons; duty remitted ou same. 6 cents per fillon.. Tallow, 135,651 pounus; duty remitted on same, .01 cent per pound..... Value of bananas, f 11,851 11 ; duty remitted on same, 10 per cent PeanutH, C4,tlG pounds; duty remitted ou name, 1 cent per pound rf 710,732 03 C5.C83 12 3,379 80 0,990 13 1,300 51 1,208 31 046 16 Total duties remitted 8:11,200 ai The invoice value of the goods imported from the United States to this country iu the year endinf- December 31, 1877, wax... .$1,702. hu f2 The invoice value of goods Imported from the United States to this country in the year ending December 31, 1875, was 947,200 44 Excess of importations from the United Ktates in 1877 over 1875 815,455 38 Difference between duties remitted by the United States and value of excess of goods imported from tbe United States to this country In 1877 over 1875 13,060 93 You will see by the foregoing statement that the amount of duties remitted by the United States on Hawaiian products, under "the treaty, in 1877, is 15,UC0 93 greater than tho invoice value of the excess of goods imported from the United Slates to this couutry in thai year over the year 1875. the year before tbe treaty went into operation ; or, in other words, our country gave this country in 1877, by virtue ol the treaty, 815,543 38 worth of her products gratis and paid this country a bonus of 15,CC0 93 lor taking them. OUR LOSS INCUKASING. I remember, when the treaty was under coti-sidi-ra.tion, it was urged - in favor of its adoption that the increase of expottations from the United States to these Islands would remunerate us for the duty remitted ; but, so far, the results have not demonstrated this theory to be correct, nor will they in the future ; for, while the importa tions to this country front the United States may, and 1 have no doubt will, increase to some extent every year during the coniiuuauce of the treaty, the increase will fall far short ot the increase in the exportation of the products of this country to tbe United States, I would not be astonished, from tbe enlargement of old and tho opening of new plantations, if tbe exhortations of sugar, rice, and paddy from this country would be more than doubled in two years hence over what it was in the year 1877. SAID NOT TO BE A LOSjJ TO TUE UNITED STATKS. It is said by interested pnrties here that it is absurd to claim that the United States loses the duty on the increased importations from this country, as, without ths treaty, there would have been no increase of importations on which the United States could levy a duty. This might ap pear plausible were it not tor tbe iact that, if this country imported less of her free products under tbe treaty, other countries would import more to fill up the deficiency and pay tbe duties thereon. Ia this event, tbe United Slates would save the duty. Why, in the other case, tbe United States do not lose tbe duty, I cannot see. ANOTHER PECULIARITY OK TUE TREATY. Of the S 1.762,805 82 worth of goods imported to this country from the United States in 1877, $1. 100,642 52 worth were admitted free, under the schedule of Article II of tbe treaty. As tbe de mands in these Islands for each and all of the articles contained in this schedule cau bo fully supplied by importations from the United States, and that, too, under active competiti n between importers, the consumers here, ol course, derive all tbe benefit from tbe remission ol duties thereon by this Government. Not so with tbe sugar, molasses, rice, paddy, tallow, and bananas ex ported lrom this country to the United States ' free." under tbe schedule of Article I of the treaty. They are only a moiety of thf demand of tbe United SUtes, and sell to the consumers at tbe same price as tbe same articles imported from other conn tiles duties paid, giving to tbe Hawai ian producer tbe full benefit of tbe duty remitted. INCREASE OF DUTIES BY TUE HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT. Soon after tbe ratification of the treaty, this Government, by act of its legislature, increased its import duties on a long list ol goou3, including nearly alt imported lrom the Lnited states, not exempted by tbe treaty, lrom 10 to 25 per cent. Notwithstanding the remission of duties under the treaty by this Government, by this increase of its tariff on dutiable goods, the customs revenue of this country was increased largely over what it was before the treaty went into operation. I always thought that this large increase of duty on dutiable American goods on the heels of the ratification of tbe treaty, which admitted nearly all Hawaiian products free into our country, was in bad faith to tbe United States. ENUI-AND's OPINION OF TUE LAW. Tbe British Government having intimated to this Government that it looked upon this increase of duties, levied on English goods under this law to meet deficiencies arising in revenue Irom the reciprocity treaty with tbe United States, as an unfriendly act toward her. and in violation of her treaty stipulations with this Government, tbe Ha waiian legislature, a few days ago. repealed the law, and placed tbe duties at tbe anti-reciprocity standard again. I have given you as concisely as I can the rela tive financial results of the operation of the treaty between this and our country. INCIDENTAL. Oue incidental gain from the treaty to this country I have not mentioned. Since tbe ratifi cation of the treaty the price of real estate, iu tbe aeTftregate. has advanced 37 per cent., and sugar and rice-lands 100 per cent. Half of one sugar plantation at Lahai.ia. Island of Maui, sold at $500,000 since tbe ratification of the treaty, that could not have been sold before at S250.000 ; and this is only one instance of many sales at this advanced rate. POLITICAL ASPECT. It has been said that tbis treaty and large out lay of money may be a wise stroke of policy on the part ef tbe United States that it may be pre paring the way for the ultimate occupancy or possession of tbe Islands by tbe United States. As I am not a diplomat it might be thongbt out of my province to discuss this phase of tbe question ; but as it seems to be involved in your inquiry, I will give my views briefly. In tbe four years that I have been residing hero I have been giving some attention to tbis ques tion, and must confess that I am unablo to con cieve of any emergency or slate of things, now or in tbe future, in which it would be to tbe interest of our country to acquire or possess these Islands. I bave arrived at this conclusion from tbe follow ing reasons : IsL Our country has now 3,400,000 square miles of territory, les3 than one-third of which is utilized, much of which has a tropical climate. If we most have more territory with a tropical cli mate and a foreign population, it would be much better to seek that which lies adjacent to us. tbe population of which could be as easily American ized as the population of this country. 2d. These Islands are 2,103 miles from any part of our domain. Their government in time of peace would be expensive. They tave a ccast half as great as that of the United States ; and therefore, in time of war with a maritime nation, would bo a source of national weakness to us. 3d. The Islands and climate are not congenial to American labor. 4th. The United States is tie natural market of these Islands aince cur occupancy of the Pacific coast, and, whether owned by us or not, the great bulk of their products will be exported to the United States, as they have always been, whether they are admitted free or made to pay a reasonable duty. 5th. The Hawaiian race is rapidly decreasing and their places are being filled by Chinese emigrants. It would not be strange as matters now stand if in twenty years the Chinese would be the predominant nationality on the Islands. These Islands are a paradise for Chinamen, not only as laborers, but for their capital. One hundred years ago, when Captain Cook dis covered these Islands, he estimated the native popu Ution at 400,000. In 1S23 the American mission aries estimated the population at 112,050. The census of 18GG showed the population, including foreigners, to be 62.9C9. Tbe census of 1872 showed the native population, including half-castes and children born of foreign parentage, to be i2.8sO ; icreign population, 4,011. Of the foreign population, SS9 were Americans, 619 British, 394 Portuguese, 224 Germans, 89 French, 1,938 Chinese, and 3G4 of other nationalities. While the population of other foreign nationalities has not materially increased since 1872, the Chinese popula tion has run up to 6,000 or 7,000, and still they come. The Chinese of these Islands are not all hewers of wood and drawers of water." They are acquiring property rapidly, and some of them are among the wealthiest men on the Islands. They control the rice culture of the Islands entirely and part of tbe sugar plantations. Tbey bave entered into the mercantile and all branches of mechanical and other industrial pursuits of the Islands, on their own account, with energy and success. Notwith standing all these laudable qualities, I don't believe, with thiir peculiar religion and notions of govern ment, they would be desirable citizens in a repub lican government, especially if tbey should be dominant in any isolated part. Better, in the event they should supplant the present dominant race, to leave them under their own control, and make them, if possible, friendly neighbors. With their energy, industry and frugality.it would not be necessary to admit their products free of duty to secure and per petuate their good neighborship. They would grow rich in competing with any other sugar and rice growing country in tbe world in our markets. IMPORTATION OF SUGAR, ETC., TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. Knowing the strong temptation there would be to commit frauds on our revenue by importing to this the product of other countries for exportation to the United States for free admission under tbe treaty, I have been watchful in that direction. So far, I have been unable to detect anything to lead me to believe that sugar or any other article named in the schedule of Article II of the treat;-, the products of other countries, has been imported to the Hawaiian Islands and subsequently shipped to the United States for free entry, under the provisions of tbe treaty. Permit me to say, in this connection, that, soon after the ratification of the treaty, there were imported from the United States at this port, in bond, 1,854,445 pounds of sugar and 376,993 pounds of rice, claimed to be of Hawaiian production, in several lots, and reshipped for the United States for free entry under the treaty. The importers and shippers of these sugars and rice claimed they had a right to do this by the laws of the United States ; but before certifying to the landing of the sugar and rice I required tbe shippers to make out invoice certifi cates for each lot in the usual form and append thereto their oaths, giving the history of the sugars and rice named therein. I enclose herewith a copy of the oath appended to one set of the invoice certifi cates, which is a sample of all, marked " Enclosure No. 1." AXOTnER RESULT OF THE TREATY. Another peculiar result of the operation of the treaty is that, while the Hawuiians export their sugar and rice to the United States and dispose of them there under the provisions of the treaty, they can buy in our market, duties rebated, Japanese and East India rice nnd the higher grades of unre fined and lower grades of refined Manila, Mauritius, Java, Central American and Peruvian sugars, and import them here for home consumption at a good profit. The freight between Sau Francisco end these Islands is from $3 to $5 per ton ; Hawaiian duty on sugar nnd rice, 10 per cent, ad valorem. Sioce the treaty went into operation there has been imported into this Kingdom about two million pounds of rice, mostly British India and Japanese, and mostly through the port of San Francisco, in bond. A few days ago there was imported at this port a small lot of sugar from San Francisco, in bond, called on the manifest " Golden C " sugar, which looks to me about tbe color of No. 18 or 19 of tbe Dutch standard. I am not well enough versed in the distinctive qualities of the grades of sugar to any whether this might be successfully re-exported to the United States, either mixed or unmixed, and in Hawaiian packages. It is said, here, to be a low grade of refined sngar. I forward you a sample by express for yonr inspection. I understand large quantities of this, and one or two lower grades of sugar, are to be imported ostensibly for the purpose of competing in this market with the higher grades produced here. BEFINED SUGARS. Most of the refined sugar used here is imported from San Fiancisco, in bond. RE-EXPORTATION OF SUGAR AND BICE. From my observation and investigations I have no reason to doubt that the rice so far imported has and is being consumed by the Chinese on the plantations, and otberwie, on these Islands, nor have I any reason to say now that the lower grades of sugar being imported will be used otherwise than for con sumption here ; but their importation certainly creates great facilities for fraud on our revenue under tbe treaty, if the fraud could not be detected at our ports of entry, as it would be impossible to watch their movements in every part of these Islands. The customs officers here have always assured me that if any attempt to commit fraud on our revenue under the treaty came to their notice I should be informed at once. They understand that if fraud should be connived at by them, it would be a good reason on the part of the U ited States to declare tbe treaty null and void, and tbis country has too good a thing in the legitimate operations of the treaty to run any risks. Stiil, this has not made me less vigilant. I respectfully refer you to a report I made to J. F. Evans, Esq., special agent of the Treasury Depart ment at San Francisco, September 25, 1877, to be used by a commission appointed by the President to investigate the customs service fU San Francisco, for further information touching your inquiry. ANOTHER STATEMENT. I append hereto a statement of tbe relative benefits of the treaty to the United .States and this country in the first year of its operation, ending September 9, 1877, in a little different form from the one given in tbe former part of this report for the year ending December 31, 1877, marked " Enclosure No. 2." I think I can safely say, in closing this report, that no unrefined engar, the product of other coun tries, has been imported into this Kingdom from other foreign countries, or from the United States, since the ratification of the treaty, unless the sugar of which I send you a sample be unrefined. Tbe large exportation of sugar and rice the first year after the taking effect of the treaty, I think, can te explained by the importation and exportation of the Hawaiian sugars and rice before named in bond, and tbe holJing back of these products in ex pectancy of the passage of the treaty, as well as some increase in tbe production. Should I at any time detect anything having the appearance of fraud under the treaty, I will at once give notice of it. Very truly yours. J. Scott, U. S. Consul. Hon.

A VALUABLE Medical Discovery enters yrup (XrnSZ BBBTKA2TD.) Ia a mcdicino that was discovered by old Ntras Eeutuand, who had been occupied in eick rooms and with the care of sick people, for over fifty years. It id made purely and entirely of Plant, Herba and Roots, end Is exceedingly agreeablo and pleasant to both the taste and smell, being warm, aromatic and epicy. It id a r.iost thorough purge, cleaning out tho bowels without pain, and without nausea or eiekculr.g. It docd cot weaken, and leaves the system open and free, never drying up tbe bowels ofterwarda, as every other purgo that wo know of docs. It can bo given to infants and invalids with safety, and in every case of old or young, it ia guaran teed to cure the worst cases of constipation, indiges tion, and all diseases thst effect theBtomach and bowels. It is, moreover, a powerful stimulator and IN VIGOR ATO It OS' THE LIVER. Its cSectsupon the blood and bnmors is something real ly astonishing, and Is much moro immediate and thorough than that of any other purilieryet discov ered, having this great advantage, that when it has, by its depurating powers, set f?o in the system the poisons ot Scrofula, Salt Rhenrs, Malignant Ulcerous Bores, and Cancerous gatherings or lumps, it instant ly carries them out of the body by purging the bow els. No other puritlcr docs this: with all of them the patient rac:t tate pills, or some other equally nan scons dose of physic, or if they do not, the poison remains in the system, and goes back into the blood. ItEUTLR'S LIFE SYRUP is exceedingly pleasant to take, needs no second dose to purge tho bowels, and doc3 all tbe work required to effect com plete enre.
