How many of our business men, wholesale or retail, mechanics or laborers venture to look the present condition of" the Hawaiian Kingdom straight in the face? Some have done so, but maivy do- not relish what is seen in the minor and post pone the examination, hoping that the aspect of affairs will change. The sole support of the country is sugar. It was once the wlinlins fleet, but, whalers having deserted us, we had tg discover a new in dustry, and we found sugar. What other industries have we to fall back upon should sugar fail us? Noth ing. Some will think it absurd to im agine that sugar can fail us. It is not absurd but a stern reality which wc must face. The price of sugar has decreased steadily for months. It may rise again for a brief period but it will be lower and remain lower than it is to-daj'. Why? Because there will be more competition and it will be grown at less cost elsewhere than it can be in this Kingdom. The cultivation of sorghum sugar has been pronounced a success, and the cost of its cultivation is trivial. It can be easily raised throughout the United States and sold there at much lower rates than we can afford to sell our produce. The treaty be tween the United States and Mexico is a great blow to Hawaii. Mexico will develop, by the use of American capital, into an enormously produc tive . sugar growing country. An American authority on the subject states that "sugars to polarize 89 to 90, color 10, are produced on the prime lands of Mexico at a cost of one and a half cents per pound, and this figure will be loxo ' ered." There is not a planter in the Kingdom who can compete with such rates of production, omitting the extra cost of double shipment till our produce reaches Sau Fran cisco. Another authority says : "The removal of the duty on sugar gives a great advantage to the Mexican cane planters over those of Louisiana, and, favored as they will be by a virgin soil and tropical climate, they may soon have the sugar market of the United States to themselves. Less than two million acres of good soil, in n region neither lmblc to bo injured by floods or frosts, ought to easily produce nil the sugnr that our people will enre to use for some yours to come." What nrc wc to .do ? Shall wc sit down idly until tho crisis comes upon us ? Why not nt once seek n, remedy and be prepared for the inevitable? "Wc may have a few years longer lease of tho San Francisco sugar market, so let us make the most of that time. Every plantation in the Kingdom imports what is required, from year to year, to assist in its effectual working. Many of these imported articles might be grown by tho planters themselves if they would only set aside a small pro portion of their acreage for the pro duction of. crops other than sugar. Wc could produce maize, all kinds of fodder for stock, potatoes, flour, grapes-und other fruits, and many things besides. This "food for thought" will, we know, have an unpalatable tnsjtc to many, but we intend to refer to it again as wc feel that the time has come when every merchant and planter must look his present condi tion and his future prospects straight in the face. P0I. It is universally conceded by the medical practitioners of these islands that the national staff of life, poi, is a wholesome ami nutritious food. The well developed and powerful muscular system of the native Ha waiian, whose principal article of diet is poi, is satisfactory proof that the doctors are not mistaken. Many foreigners who have come to these sunny shores debilitated and in quest of health, also bear testimony to the recuperative effects of a poi diet. Instances can be cited of persons having sought in vain for the resto ration of health and vigor in medi cines, costly wines, and change of climate, who have discovered the desired blessing by the use of poi. In short, extremely few find this simple food to disagree with their stomachs, or fail to derive benefit from its use. "What wonder then that it should form an important part of the dietary programme of many white, families on the islands. It is a food which most foreigners do not like at first, but soon acquire a taste for when induced to try it ; while children born of foreign parents on the islands seem to take as naturally to it as the pure blooded Hawaiians themselves. The usual method of manufacture, in which the hands arc freely used for knead ing and mixing, undoubtedly con stitutes a strong and valid objection to the use of poi as food. It is felt,, and cannot be denied, that there is danger of transmitting communica ble distempers from diseased to healtlry persons by this means. A conviction of this fact has operated very much against the use of poi among foreigners of late, and also among thoughtful natives. Probably this fact induced the Aldcn Fruit &. Taro Co., of Wailuku, to devise a method of prepai-ation which is en tirely free from the objectionable feature just now referred to. By this method the taro undergoes a process of artificial drying, and is theif ground into flour. In this state ,it may be kept for an indefinite length of time, and can be converted into poi as required for use, just as easily as, in fact more easily than, wheat flonr can be made into bread. The taro flour can now be obtained from any grocer in Honolulu, and families can furnish themselves with a pure .article of poi, eating to their hearts content, without risk or fear, by adhering to the following direc tions: "Mix the flour with cold water, making a thick paste. Place the paste into a cotton cloth or bag ; tic the cloth or bag with a string, then immerse the whole in boiling water for from half an hour to one hour and a half, according to the quantity. When thoroughly cooked, take it out of the cloth, and when cold stir with a stout spoon or potato masher ; and when mixed, add water as desired." THE PROJECTED AMERICAN TOUR. A meeting of gentlemen connected with the proposed visit of Australian colonists to America was held at tho Pastoral Chambers, when it was de cided to postpone the affair for a time. In consequence of tho protracted drought and the passage of the Land Ttill ilirnucrli "PftvlinnimiL if. wnM cnn. sidcrcd that a number of influential and desirable gentlemen could not bo of the party, and who would gladly join if the time of departure were al tered.
