And the period of safe investments and bargains will be a thing of the past. A wonderful reduc
tion in the price of shoes, such as we have been giving the people, has caused considerable com
ment ; and well it should, when the public has been presented with shoes of the latest styles and
best makes for cost, and less than cost. You will never again meet a sale of shoes with the
advantages we offer. You need shoes, and will need themthen why pay a high price, when you
can get two pairs from us for at the price originally paid for one pair? This is to your benefit;
make the best of it, before you regret it.

TtllC HAWAIIAN FL0 ON KOUKION
IIUILT SHU'S,
Editor Evenino Bulletin:
Much eilly and ridioolous talk
goos round tho water-front whoa
an Hawaiian citizen purchases a
ship and applies for his right io
have his property legally recog
nized; jib though he had some
sinister motive in so doing.
Every vessel Hying the Hawaii
an Hag is foroipn built, and what
applies to ono should apply to nil,
lhri and present.
The ling is hut a symbol of
nationality and ownership, it does
not increase tho vessel's valtio as a
freighter, one cent. Shippers will
not pay ono cent inoro freight to n
whip Hying the American ling than
to one under British or Gorman
colors.
Nine-tenths of the carrying
from New York and San Francis
co is don ( by foreign ships. Evan
in tho much profected Pacific
coasting trade, foreign labor rules,
though all are nominally Ameri
cans. As to the shipping carried
on under the American Hag being
a mine of wealth to all concornod
U spnms strange that so many U.
B. ships arc for sale, and so many
boua-fido American captains
aro in command of British and
Hawaiian ships; well for them that
foreigners 'nllowod thorn to com
mand and have freo trado in ships,
which they would havefdenied to
the foYoiqner had they found their
El Dorado at homo.
The repeal of the navigation
laws of Great Britain gave the
tirdt great impetus to British ship
ping. Scaudinavia aud tho dif
ferent German counties were not
slow in onterinc uuiodr tho com-
petilnrs for shares ot the world's
carrying trude.
The decline of tho U. S foroign
going shipping was due to one
fact, ono word: iron. Tho finest
wocdou ships of Iho world thourrl:
ably handled, dwindled away bo
foro it. Thw flsg did not savo
thm; it wfts simply a question of
dollars and cents with shippers
and underwriters; patriotism is
not DuainesR.
Au Engliahmon, Gorman or
Scandinavian purchases a, chip to
euil him, no matter whore built,
aud thou has his country's ling
legally put on her. (Tho U. S.
owner is handicapped in so doiug.
Tho laws of Hawaii aro, at pro
seut, at variauce with tho U. ti.
Federal laws in many ways; for
example Asiutio immigration;
contracting for foreign labor, and
the shipping laws. j
When tho Star of tho l'a
cifio becomes ono of the
group in tho federal banner
tho repeal of such laws will bo
insisted on; though, judging by
the present condition of immigra
tion, tho day is yet distant.
Tho laws of the federal power,
unlike thoso of tho Modes nud
Persians, ore subject to changp.
