OI'TIMIHM. HULKH.
A symposium of opinions from
lea ling politicians and financiers
of the United States obtained by
the New York Times shows a gen
erally optimistic view of financial
nod political conditions notwith
atandiog the serious problems that
press upon tho country.
Secretary of tho Treasury Gage
eays, "tlio future lookH vory briuht
to me," ex-Govemor Flower, the
leader in Wall street stye, "there
is n itbing in sight to scare any-,
one." Rudolph Kopplor presi
dent of tho New York stock ox -change,
Audrow Caruigic king pin
of the anti-xpaisionibU, Marshal
Field of Ohioago,Secrotary o'Agri
culturo James Wilson, and many
other lendord of the cast and west
join in taking a bright viow of tho
sitmtiou.
The beat of it is that theso opin
ions are not onthnsiastic
outbursts of over confidence, but
are upliold by facts and figures
iron the business centers of
tho , .country. The good
common seme of the
peoplo pas roduced the possibility
of dangerous tariff and financial
legislation to a minimum; con fid.
enao in the futuro has boon fully
ro3torad, tin manufacturers feel
tho impetus of increased ordors
and tho f-trmor reaps his full
share of the reward of returning
prosperity.
With this oj'timiritio view ob
taining iu the hiiBUiHHH community
of the Slates, thoro is no particu
lar ivnson for Hawaii to roll list
lesaly in tho doldrums of fenr
and pessimism. Two groat bug
bears aro h'ld before the eyes of
tho foiirful: tin possibility of a
duty on Hawaiian products and
tho wiping out of the contract
labor and asxistcd immigration.
These features of the local situa
tion uppunr to be remarkably
dangerous to those who lack con
fidence in tho policy of tho ad
ministration at Washington, and
also lack confidouco in tho cap
acity of our local business mon to
meet tho labor conditions that
ray soon be presented. The
dangers presented to Hawaii to
day nre no greater than thoHe
which tho avorngo manufacturor
has to consider coutiuually. La
bor troubles are ever threat
ening, and the sharp competition
iu foreign aud domestic markets
is n barrier to marked financial
success, that calls for sharp
business caro.
Tho only thing in Hawaii thnt
gives tho "bears" of the market
any hold is the attempt to gain a
marked ndvantngo nvor tho sugar
producers of the United States.
The pessimists who apparently
lacked confidence in tho ability of
the producers to. handlo tho situa
tion successfully under Amoriciiu
laws seom to have forced the busi
ness community into tho anoma
1 uis position of being an ally of
their enoury. Every day's delay
in the extension of American law
is a gain for the beet sugar pro
ducers who can bo depended upon
to fight Hawaiian sugar iu season
and out of soaeon till the laws are
extended and the bonds joining
Htwaii to tho Union aro clinched.
Tho buyers on the street havo
confidence iu the strongth of tho
McKiuloy administration and tho
capcity of the sugar factors to
deal with tbo now situation. They
sharo the confidence of tho leaders
in tho financial and commercial
centers of tho country. It is this
sentiment that keep iu motion
tbo wheels of progress and it is
not likely that Hawaiian business
intorests will go to tbo bowwows
heoHUt-o a few new problems are
presented for solution.
OUU TIIADK IN rlHC PACIFIC.
(From the New York Sun.)
Tho referonco iu our Washing
ton despatches to tho now con
tract of tho Gorman Government
with tho Norddoutsclior Lloyd
Steamship Company, soon to take
effect, is timely, nnd tho subject
deserves the attention of Con
gress. Germany is to give this
comjmny 5,590,000 marks, or over
$1,330,000, a year, during fifteen
vears, for maintaining bteamship
lines to ceriain ports of China,
Japan, Australasia and Oceauica.
The Japan line is to be iu opera
tion by next April, and the others
lit (Jutod specified. The amount is
nearly troblo, wo believe, what
Germany has hitborto exponded
on postal nnd commercial sub
sidies to the east const of Asia,
and it shows very clearly that she
is determinod to got a full sharo
of tho commercial control of tho
Pacific.
Tlio saying that trado follows
the flag may bo a comfortable one
for our couutry just now, but in
point of fact thoro iB one trade that
does not always follow tho flag
vithout some special exertion to
make it follow, aud that is the
carrying trade. We havo so long
beeu accustomed to bnviog not
only foreign goods brought hoio
on foreign ships but our goods
takou away on such ships, that we
may not fully appreciate tho im
portance of seounng for the Ame
rican merchant marino its proper
shareof tho commercial advantage
opjjned to us by tho groat events of
tho past year.
In his recent roport tho Com
missioner of Navigation pointed
out that, in tho year under review,
toward steamship Hues to tho
east coast of Asia alono, Great
Britain contributed $1,250,000;
France. 81,217,000; Germany,
S480.P00; Russia, S-105,000; Aus
tria, 300,000, and Italy $277,000.
while Spain, to whose authority
we now succeed in tho Philip
pines, paid $110,000 iu 1800. But
our cmutry guve only $10,000 to
American linos to Asia, lit regular
mail rates, and tho Commissioner
suggests that "wo havo deluded
ourselves into the belief
that tho Pacific trado will
becomeB our without taking ordin
ary prootutioiiB to meet competi
tion." Wo did, indoed, do some
thing for that trnde under tho act
of 1801, but while tho maximum
rates of that not are $2 30 por uau
tical mile outward for a 10 knot
stenuior, Great Britain pays $2.82
to tho Peninsular and Oriental
and $3.10 to tho Canadian Pacific
lines; Germany, S2.54 to 14-knot
vessels of theNorth German Lloyd;
France, $3.03 to tho vessels of tbo
Messagories Maritiraos.
Again, tho Arizona, of 5300 tons
and 10 knots, is, ns tho Commis
sioner shows, tho only vessel in
tho Pacific fully complying with
tho requirements of the act of 1891
for admission to rogistry, namely,
5000 tons and 1G knots, and she
was admitted last summer and
bought by tho War Department.
Tho China, allowed by Congress
to obtain registry at tho same time,
is of -1940 tons and 17 knots,
while tho City of Peking,
although of 50S0 tone, is only of
14 knots. The four well-known
American transatlantic liners and
tho two New York and Cuba mail
liners mako up our total of nine
Beagoing steamships exceeding
1,000 Ions. It would take a year
and a half to build vessels of
5,000 tons and 1G knots, for what
tho Commissioner well calls "tho
new conditions in the Pacific,"
and moanwhile, ns has boon seen,
tho Uoichstng assists a German
line to reach ont for tho control of
Pacific trado.
Even Spain imposed nnnunl
charges of $5S0,000on Cuba, $125,
000 on Porto Rico and S170.0000
on the Philippines for steam com
munication, and added $1,000,000
for herself, so furnishing "about
double tho ontiro Bupport tho
United States gtvo to Americau
steamships iu 1897." Tho Com
missiouor's roport also referred to
the latest British proposition of
subsidy, that of four lines in the
West Indies, to take effect n few
weeks ago, iu addition to tho $400.
000 of tho Royal Mail line.
Such, thon, is tho situation of
our moichnnt marine under the
now conditions opened to it in the
Gulf and the Caribbean Sea, and
most notably in tho Pacific, wboro
there are groat possibilities of
trado development. Congress
should not fail to logislato on tho
subject at tbo present session, in
view of tho activity of foreign
commercial countries, while as to
tho best policy to bo adopted
much may be learnod from tho
bearings of the present week bo
fore tho committees of the Sonate
and the House.
