WILLIAM HAYWOOD
ON HAWAII'S SUGAR
AGENT FOR THE PLANTERS IS HEARD
Argument Against Concessions to Cuba
Before CommitteB on Ways
and Means.
Committee on Wnjs and Means, Fri
day, January 24, 1902.
The committee met at 10 o'clock a.
m., pursuant to adjournment, Hon. S.
K. Pane in the chair.
Statement of Mr. William Haywood,
of Washington, I). C, representing the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association
and the Chamber of Commerce of Hon
olulu, against reciprocity:
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
Ways and Means Committee: My name
Is William Haywood. I wag for three
jears, prior to cue huui-jhiiiu" wi -wall,
United States Consul-Oeneral at
Honolulu, nnd upon the extension of
American Irwb to the Islands was ap
pointed collector of Internal revenue. 1
resigned this position last winter to
come to Washington ns the resident at
torney of the Hawaiian Sugur Planters'
Association.
Mr. Atkins made several references
Inst, week to a delegation from the
Sandwich Islands. I am that delega
tion. Hawaii being, as It were, the Infant
of the American family, is naturally
dimdent In making suggestions regard
ing legislation of national Importance.
She Is not opposed to Cuba being as
sisted If Congress In its wisdom decides
that the United States Is morally re
sponsible for Cuba's welfare. When
Hawaii sought and obtained the bless
Ing of American citizenship she expect
ed, nnd was willing to bear, her share
of the burdens of citizenship. She Is
perfectly willing to stand her share of
the expense of helping Cuba, but with
her limited means nnd small population
she naturally objects to being plunged
Into bankruptcy that Cuba's absentee
susnr planters may be put on n more
favorable footing than she. From all
that 1 rnn gnther, about 90 per cent of
those who will profit by n lowering of
the duties on Cuban sugars arc Span
ish and Americans.
Helping an Allen People.
To give to Cuba n free mnrket for
her sugar will be to give uu alien peo
ple Just ns much ndvnntage ns Amer
ican citizenship gives to Hawaiian.
nnd the extra advantage of not being
obliged to contorm to the stringent
laws legardlng labor nnd Immigration
With Annexation Han all lost her best
source of labor supply China. The
Islands are so Isolated that labor does
not naturally come to Hawaii, but
must he sought Prior to annexation
she (oulil nrslst Immigration and ho
tect herself by making a contract. All
those ndvuntnges she gave up for what
sne thought n flee, protected mnrket.
The piolilbltlon against Importing Chi
nese and the laws against assisted nnd
control t labor has added gieatly to the
cot -of pindiulng her one. nnd I might
say only, staple. It must he borne In
mind that Hawaii produces practically
nothing that she uses. All her food,
clothing, machinery and In fact every
thing but n few vegetables, tome from
the States, und the only thing she lias
to pay with Is sugar
Ilnwiill, with an me.-i approximately
of S0.000 neirs of land suitable for the
cultivation of sugar c-ane, pinduced last
jeur, sold in the Amerlran mnrket,
300,033 tons of raw Hiigar, valued at
$.,7.093.23.41, which was 9R.22 percent
of her total exports of eveiy dcscrlp-tlon-$2b,054.430.43.
New Methods at Mills.
I might say right here that the an-
I liexation comnilssioiieiH, when, usked
nhether the limit of sugar production
was reached, placed tU,000 acres us thu
touil una oi la mi suitable fur sugar.
Iliey only huve MJ.uuu ucii-s In sugur
now. We u m producing more sugar
than Mr. Thurston told Congress ho
thought we would, but we ..re doing It
because new methods lire being de
vised e-,ery tiny lor Increasing the out
put of the mills.
The Chairman What was the price
per pound?
Mr. Hajwooil We figure everj
tlilng In short tons In Ilawull, and It Is
utmost Inij.osslble for me to give nnj
thlng In pounds
.Mr. New lands. What du ou mean by
slioil tons?
Mr. iluynood' 2000 pounds.
The rtiulimnu: Do jou not know the
pilte at which run sugar Is sold?
Mr. Hitvwood: It fluctuates with ev
ery fit camei.
The Chairman: And It fluctuates In
Hamburg, too. I would like to know
the relation of the price In Ilawull to
the price In New York?
.Mr Havwootl' As 1 understand It,
seveini piuiiiiitions in Hawaii make u
cuntiutt to sell their fciigurs for three
yeais ut the price In New York. Tim
day llie eurgo arrives theie that price
Is fixed, as 1 understand It, und, as the
committee has been told in thu labt
several dajs, by the price of sugar III
Hamburg.
The Chairman' As ou undcistnnil,
tiny get their full price for their Hu
nuliim sugar? ,
Get Full Price at New York.
Mr. Jiuywood They get the full prlci
that sugar Is selling for In New Yoik
us soon us Hiigurs airlve there.
Tim Chairman: And Imw long bus
that been? ,
Mr. I la w nod Those contiacts?
The Chaliman: Yes.
Mr, Hn)wood. Since 1 first went
there, about five jeaiu ago,
The Chaliman: So, notwithstanding
the fact that the Ameilran sugar trust
Is the only customer of the Hawaiian
sugar that gits a MX pi Ice for It?
Mr. llujvvood: They get the price
the day the sugar arrives In Now York,
whatever that may be,
Mr. Oxnurtl has Just made a ugges -
tlon that we do not get the same price
for our sugar in San Francisco. 1
think it Is three-sixteenths less In San
Francisco than the price paid for the
sugar that goes to New York
' The Chairman: What proportion ot
the sugar goes to San Francisco?
Mr. Haywood; I do not think that
the greater portion goes there; I think
the great portion goes to New York.
The Chairman: Since jou have been
producing more?
Mr. Haywood: Yes. sir.
The Chairman: More than the Pa
cific Coast needs?
Mr. Haywood: I presume so; )es, sir.
Mr. Long: What Is the reason for
the difference of three-sixteenths?
Mr. Haywood: As I understand It
the reason given by the purchasers Is
to cover freight.
Mr. Long: Freight from San Fran
cisco?
Mr. Haywood: From San Francisco
to New York. 1 urn answering these
questions from my own opinion.
It is impossible to state exactly what
she purchased from the mainland lait
car because since June 14, 1900, at
which time Hawaii was ushered In as 4
Territory under American rule, no en
try of goods has been required when
shipped to or from the mainland; but
u fairly accurate estimate based on thrt
official figures for 1899 places the im
ports In round numbers at 822,000,000.
Customer on the Mainland.
From the above figures It will be seen
that our little Territory Is h good cus
tomer of the mainland and that she re
lies entirely on the proceeds from her
sugar to pay her bills.
Hawaii bought last year from the
States SI 42.75 worth of goods for each
man, voman nnd child on the Islands,
Cuba to do ns well would have to pur
chase 1223,000,000 from us,
All ray ndult life has been spent in
the consular tervlce of the govern
ment. I hnve done my share, working
for uddltlonnl foreign markets foi
Ameilcnn goods, and 1 appieclate how
Impnitant It Is, but In working to that
end It Is not good policy to sacrifice a
sure home market. Willi annexation
came n bl boom In sugar. The peopln
uciu'it-u mui ii proteneii mnruct wu
nssuied. and were willing to Invest
large sums of money In increasing thut
Industry New plantations with an ag
piegatc lapltnl of $23,000,000 were
stalled nnd old ones eiilniged. The
people have been struggling hiuufully
for the past three jears to meet the as
sessments on their stoek to pn for the
Immense amount uf plantation machin
ery bought In the States, and now wish
to enjoj the rewards for their confi
dence In American protection.
Cost of Production.
Hawaii cannot produce sugar as
rhrnplj ns Cuba. I n Ish I had the re
ports for last jear of all the planta
tions, so I could stnte what the nveroge
cost was I have, however, us a stock
holder, recently received the annual re
ports of three plantations, the figures
(rom w,t, m Kve Mr lIca of tho
rost of piodiulng sugar In Hawaii
These plantations are thiee of the bust
of thu Islamls and are fair lepiesenta
tlves of the 0 liferent kinds. Oiihu Is A
large estate situated on the Island ot
Oahu. and Is what Is known as an Irri
gated plantation. Four million six
hundred thousand dollars lias been In
vested. In this plantation. The other
two, Honnmii and Wailuku, arc smaller
' estates, one situated on the island of
.Maul ond the other on Hawaii. Both
of these plantations are among the old
est nnd are fully developed.
Oahu last year produced 21.450 tonj
of sugar, for which it fecelved $1,118,
421.SC. or $t!7.30 per Ion. The operating
expenses are $1.010.31,0.08, or $17 per
ton, a net profit of $19 30 pel ton. The
duty on pw- cent Is 1CS,', about $33.70
per ton. Take this protection nwuy and
every ton of sugar piodticcd by this
plantation last jear would have been
at a loss of S14.40.
The Chairman- That Is, If jou take
all (his protection away?
Mr, Hajnood. Yes, sir.
Tho Chairman: If ou took half of it
away It would leave quite a profit $5 n
ton. '
Mr. Haj wood: 1 will stutt right here
that these figures are based on the ac
tual tost to produce the sugar In Ha
waii. To that must bu utliled freights,
and our plantations do not charge any
thing for dclerloiullon of plant.
The Chairman: That Is not the net
pilce, then, that jou have stated?
-Mr. Huywood: It Is what It costs tlm
plantation to produce the sugar.
The Chaliman: Have jou deducted
the tost?
Mr. Haywood: I unfoi innately ilKll
not have those llgmes to mid, nnd ' l
picrerreii to make a pooiei case than
to stnte something I could not sub
btantlatc. The Chali mail: Can jou give an es
timate? -Mr. Ilnywood: Of deteiloiatlon?
Argument of Protection.
The Chaliman: Ten.
Mr. Haywood: No, sir; I urn nfinld
I cannot.
Mi. Long: That Is upon the assump
tion that biigur In New York Is 1.US5
lower In pilco on nceount of tho duty
being taken off?
Mr. Haywood' Yes. The argument
of piatettlon Is that It uilses the price
Just that much. That is what we have
lo contend vvllh with the opponents ol
protection,
Honomu piodutCHl List year 4402
tons, receiving $342,228.05, or $77.27 per
ton, and Its operating expenses were
( $282,874.35, or $M,2C )er ton; net prof-
It of $13.01 per ton. This .plantation,
without the protective duty, would
produce Its sugar nt a loss of 120.67 per
ton.
Wailuku states In Its report for las'
year that the cost of producing a ton
of sugar1 was $15.41. The average qost
of these three plantations was $60,10
per ton. I have not picked out three
ot the worst plantations; I have given
ou the figures from all of the reports
I have. I am sorry that I cannot fur
nlsh the average cost of all the planta
tions, as 1 feel confident the figures
would be substantially, the same.
Want Labor at Fair Price.
1 do not wish to be understood as
claiming that this state of affairs has
alwajs prevailed In the Islands, or that
Hawaii will always need the present
protective duty. Prlqr to the extension
of the American labor and Immigration
laws sugar was produced much mora
cheaply than now. Personally, as n
stockholder, I have confidence in the
business ability of those who havo
been trying to solve the problem ot
raising crops with 75 per cent of the
labor needed, Olvc them time, and 1
am sure they will find some spot on
this earth where labor can be procured
at a fair price. What we do ask Is that
we are not made to compete with a
country at present more favorably sit'
uated than Hawaii.
One ot the gentlemen who spoke last
week mentioned the fact that this con
cession to Cuba would mean a great
profit to American shipping, Hawaii
has the proud distinction of being the
one territory In the world where Amer
ican shipping predominates. I , have
not the figures for the past year, but In
a report I made to the Department of
State on the shipping of the islands for
1897 I showed that 82 per cent of the
products of the islands was carried In
American bottoms. The New York
Mall and Express of March 3, 1898,
commenting on my report, said:
"These figures present an argument
which the business Judgment of the
House cannot resist. They show that
Hawaii Is the one territory In the
world where American commercelal in
fluence Is not only supreme, but stead
lly advancing. The expansion of trade
interests In the Pacific Ocean which Is
sure to follow the great International
projects now under way In the Far
East will Increase the volume and val
ue ot Hawaii's commerce every year.
Hawaii Is bound to become the central
depot of this vast traffic, nnd the na
tion which controls that port will en
joy a position of almost Incalculable
advantage In, the trade between Asia
and Europe."
Hawaii exchanged these advantages
for a free protected market. 1 do not
believe Cuba can offer as much. If
Cuba needs charity, give It to her ns
such, but not In the form of conces
sions to absentee landlords. Remem
ber the familiar proverb, which Is best
expressed by the French, "Well-regu
Iated charity begins at home."

K. Yakabaj-shl. who got mixed up
a I tli the custom house some time ago
on account ot his Inability to return
certain sake which he had consumed. Is
not In so much tioubte ns at first ap
pears. Owing to Wakabaj-shl's Inn-bill!)-
to disgorge that which had gone
down the throats of himself anil
fi lends, Collector Stnckable, acting
upon the advice ot Assistant District
Attorney Dunne, declared the bond ot
$201) to be forfeited.
t This ruling of the Assistant District
Attornej was ut first upheld bj tin
Treasuty. Judge Robinson, then acting
as attornej for the Pacific Surety Com
pany again protested and in a letter 10
the Collector contended that the law
hail not been carefully reviewed, either
bj Dunne or the Department. no
final answer overrules the previous
opinion of the Department and the As
sistant District Attornej'. The letter
follows:
