Not only does this Territory buy so
laigely In foreign mnrkcts that the
rustoius duties collected nt custom

uniount to moio than a million and u
half of dollars annually, hut it is also
I the purchaser of millions of dollars
worth of merchandise lu the "home

ing that cicty dollar collected at our

AMERICAN-OWNED INDUSTRY.
No more common fallacy exists
concerning Hawaii thnn Hint oitgl
nnlly fosteied by the opponents of
the annexation, regarding the owner-
'ship of the sugar plantations of the
Islands.
The presenco of wealthy and Influ
ential firms conti oiled by llrltlsh and
Ocrman citizens has created the Im
pression ecn In the Islands nmong
persons who' ought to know better
that n very largo share of the sugar
Interests that have been protected by
the American tariff Is owned b) foi
clgneis. FnctH arc stubborn things, and In
this connection are Ncr gratifying
to tho American.
I Accurate statistics compiled during
the Inst year show that of tho stock
In all tho Biigar roiporatlons of the
.llnwallan Islands oer eighty-five per
cent. Is held by American cltlzcnM.
Out of a total of 6,7 1 2 stockholders
In all the sugar corporations, 6,114
are American citizens.
Of tho total 1,875,548 shares ot
Hock In sugar corporations 1,689,183
arc owned by Americans,
Of the totnl par alue of $71,538,
792 represented In the sugar corpor
ations, $63,314,902. are owned by
Americans.
As every sugar property' of any slzo
Is under corporate ownership, these
figures demonstrate undlsputably that
the American tariff is protecting
American enterprise in Hawaii, and
American citizens are reaping the
benefits to be derived therefrom.
Another popular error is that tho
sugar securities held by Americans
lira either In the hands of the Sugnr
Trust or of the late Clnus Sprcckels
and his sons.
There Is no sugar-producing sec
tion of tho United States whero tho
holdings of the Sugar Trust aro less
than In the Hawaiian Islands. Tho
Trust Is not represented In n single
corporation directorate and Is more
antagonistic to Hawaii than friendly.
Although the lato Claus Sprockets
laid tho foundation for his great for
tune In the sugar Industry ot the3o
islands, his holdings ot sugar stocks
and the holdings of his sons In the
business and property of the Islands
was comparatively Insignificant at
the time of his death. After leaving
tho Islands Mr, Spreckcls gradually
cold his Interests here. The great su
gar plantation of Sprcckelsvllln hns
been developed to Its present state at
prosperity and carried on In recent
years by tho Baldwin Interests,
among whom the controlling factors
are men born and brought up In tho
lslnnds.
Not only aro Hawaii's sugar secur
ities held by Amei leans, hut they aro
ery widely distributed. Thcro Is
hardly a clerk, a merchant, n profes
sional man or wgman, a school-teacher,
or a workman In Hawaii who hns
money laid by that has not a good
share of that surplus lnestcd In su
gar stocks. Furthermore, the stocks
and the bonds are held by hundreds
on the mainland whose personal or
financial relations hne brought them
to u knowledge ot the Islands and
their Industries.
No more grieous mUtake could bo
mnde than to assume that the Indus
tries of tho Territory ot Hawaii aro
not American Industries. Although
It Is claimed that the proportion of
American labor on the plantation Is
not as largo as It should be, tho revo
lutionary conditions forced on the
Inilustrj since tho annexation ot the
Islands Is slowly but surely foiclng
a change In this direction.
It can he truthfully said that tho
present protectee tariff on sugar is
bringing comfortable prosperity to
thousands of Americans.
If this tariff wero changed It would
bring ruin to theso thousands, mnko
fertile fields a useless, weed-bearing
wnste, and bring to certain failure
Indeed make Impossible tho efforts
to more thoioughly Americanize the
Industry by a more genoral represen
tation of the citizen workman lu the
mill and In tho fields.
AVERAGE SUGAR CONDITIONS.
It Is true that Hawaii has been
prosperous. Yet all too frequently thn
Territory's Industry Is Judged by the
standards of extremes thut spread
abroad a very wrong Impression of
average conditions.
Somo of Hawaii's sugar plantations
have paid very hnndsome .dividends,
but tho average dividend paid by ull
sugar plantations on the totnl capital
invested in sugar was for the live

years ending with 1906 only 4.6321
per cent. i
This of course Includes the wenk'
plantations with the strong, but this
method of computation must ho used
In gain an accurate Knowledge of
cenernl conditions. J
Ccrtnln Ileitis of particular planta-1
tlons hne ghen world record-breaking
yields, yet tho average 'yield per
ncro for tho eighteen months' crops
In Hawaii Is only 4.403 Ions per acre.
Computing this yield on a basis of
equality with sugar countries like
Cuba, where n crop matures In tho
twelvo months, the average yield of
Hawaii Is hut 2.935 tons por acre, i
Theso figures Indicate that, had
tho protective tariff on sugar been
reduced ono-hnlf n cent a pound for
the llc yenrs ending with 1906, nil
the dividends paid dining those yenis
would hne been wiped out und base
left the entire Industry without any
return on the Investment after allow
ing for depreciation.

THE INDUSTRIAL EDITION.
The 11 it I 1 o 1 1 n's Industrial IMI
Hon for 1909 Is the third Issue of
this character published by this pa
per since 1898, the year Hawaii was
annexed to the United States.
The data for the Industrial section
of this yenr has been obtained with
tho samo painstaking caro ot previous
periods, A representative of the 11 u 1
letln has visited each sugar plan
tntton of the islands nnd gone over
the ground cither with tho manager
or bis assistants. Tho facts nnd fig
ures have been reviewed by both the
managers nnd tho agents of the
properties, und every effoit made to
assure readers absolutely rcltablo In
formation while telling tho story of
on Industrial progress In readable
form.
Ono of the leading plantation man
agers of the Islands writes the II u I -1
e 1 1 n that tho descriptions of tho
various plantations given by this pa
per are thu best ho has ever lead
Another tells us that he keeps tho
latest Issue of tbo Bulletin Indus
trial Folltion constantly handy for
reference In plantation matters.
This shows that the work dono by
tho Ii u I I c 1 1 n has been reliable,
and the ordinary dry detail of techni
calities In the field and mill Is bun
dled in an effective style.
Special attention Is, of course, giv
en the suga,r Industry becauso It Is
tho one great source ot prospci lty in
Hawaii. It Is the Industry on which
the financial life ot every menrhant,
every banker, and ovcry otfior Indus
try depends. New enterprises sue
constantly being developed, but tho
money to back them nnd test them
nnd put them on their feet hns come
from sugar.
In dealing with theso smaller
growing industries of the Islands, tho
II u 1 1 e 1 1 n has used the same care.
Pineapples and coffee offer splendid
possibilities If fostered in tho friend
ly way that has made American pros
perity at once the wonder mid tho
envy of the world. The status of
theso branches of Industry, also of
tobacco, rubber, and other of Ha
waii's agricultural products Is de
scribed by persons specially Interest
ed nnd able to speak with authority.
The edition of this year sets a
higher standard thnn previous years
in the extent ot tho Held covered and
the nttrnctlvo form in which thu
data is put before the reader. It Is
the only complete, authorttatlvu
statement of the condition ot Ha
waii's Industries published.
