To health and strength will be found and made if you invest in a
WHITELY EXERCISER. In order to keep up a healthy
circulation it is not necessary to strain the muscles as is done in
heavy gymnastics. The exercises necessary for harmonious develop
ment of the muscular system also call into action and develop the in
ternal organs and other structures; hence the rapid and permanent
cure of digestive troubles. The WHITELY EXERCISER will produce
health and strength; it is simple, inexpensive and the only practical
form of athletics for busy people. .

Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.

vhat their experience is, even when
they pay double prices for native lab
or. Now, what would you have the
"sons" do? Let the native forsake the
land, and fishing, and taro planting,
and live in the town at the mission
aries' expense? In other countries,
the greater part of the poverty in the
cities is due as it is here to the de
sire of all classes of people to live in
the cities and have a good time of it,
even if they do suffer.
I know that whenever a native is
thrifty, and tries to save his money,
and gets a nice home, a lot of thrift
less loafers, male and female, at once
saddle themselves upon him, and eat
him out of house and home, if they
can, and they usually do. Do yon
wish the "sons" to take up and sup
port these loafers? If you would only
tell me, just what these sons ought to
do, I would understand the situation.
As to the native women, the case is
much more serious than that of the
men, in many ways. Owing to the
vast, unnatural preponderence of men
over women,- in numbers, on these Isl
ands, there is a condition of things
which inevitably creates social abomi
nations, to an extent that is not real
ized. It is a violation of the laws of
civilization, and makes moral progress
of the people impossible. For their
part in aiding and permitting this
abominable system the "sons" cannot
escape responsibility. But as the mat
ter was not in their control, they are
not more responsible for it than tne
haole's generally, or the natives them
selves. This is a subject that cannot
be enlarged upon now.
No doubt it is a very serious error
to educate the girls to a desire to live
in a style wmcn is Deyonu meuu
of the average native, unless some
way is opened for them to honestly
maintain the better style. Such edu
cation makes sad mischief in all coun
tries, especially how in the United
States. It is one of the serious prob
lems everywhere.
The bitter complaint in America to
day is, that the education of the young
is defective. We are all learning. A
vast amount of time is thrown away
in useless education. ioui uctLivc
girls, largely educated by charity,
have no right. I believe, to complain
that they are any worse- off than hun
dreds of thousands of American girls,
when they are not. The mistakes of
the missionaries, and the "sons" are
the same as those made in the most
enlightened countries. All we can do
is to correct mistakes as rapidly ag
possible.
Your charge that the Asiatics are
crowding out the needle women is to.
some extent true, but I am told that
reallv skilfull and industrious Ha
waiian needle woman can find abund
onr.a r.f wnri,-. Rut trifles are not
wanted. Young native women who j
are educated ana mea.ii iu many
some haole who will "keep a cook"
are not specially wanted. You know
the reason why.
I think you are honest in your be
lief that the "sons" are largely re
sponsible for the presence of the Asia
tics. But if you will look over tne tax
lists, you will fiml that these "sons"
do not own a tenth or tne property
hprp. and very few of them are rich.
It was your own King Kalakaua, that
negotiated the introduction of the jap-
ntipsp. Into these Islands. And when
he put that adventurer Moreno into
his Cabinet in 1881, it was Decause
that adventurer proposed an immigra
tion of 50,000 Chinese, and a Dig loan
from China. The haole with the aid
nf the "sons" stopped it by tnreats
So you must not charge the sons
with creating your troubles. .You will
find, if you look closely, that tne
haoles who have married natives, and
the Dart natives and the natives them
selves are employing Asiatics. ine
natives especially are willing to rent
their land to them, and live in town on
the rents received. Can the ' sons
Drevent it? The natives seem to los
money like other races and nave never
hpsi tilted to get it from any source
t do not sav that the "sons" or tne
better class of haoles, have discharged
their whole duty to the natives. But
you cannot find in any part of the
xx-nrir? nn instance of greater, more
continuous, or generous charity than
that of the stronger to the weaker
race, on these Islands, during the last
sixty rears. I know the majority or
the natives would today be willing to
hp treated as paupers, and be sup
ported at the public expense. But it
would be a misfortune to tnem to
treat them so. The greatest good, in
mv opinion that could be done for
them, would be encourage them to go
back upon the land, and raise their
own food. But will they do it.' cer
tainly not. The President of the Re-
publis has a romantic attachment for
the native race. But he finds that it
is not the natives that desire land on
Hawaii, but the other races. Even in
Kona when they may easily raise their
own supplies, and cultivate coffee, and
the women might be relieved of press
ing wants, they refuse to take up land,
but flock to the city.
So long as there is an abundance
of good land to be had by the natives,
almost for the asking, on Hawaii and
elsewhere, the Asiatics cannot crowd
the natives. The sons and daughters
too of the missionaries have been al-
wavs willing to aid the natives m the
right way, but they do not desire to
pauperize them.
There has been undoubtedly an er
ror in the system of education here,
an error that exists largely in other
countries, of educating the head alone,
and not the hand, in educating the
people to increase their "wants," with
out educating them how to supply
these "wants.," Will the natives, even
if educated in ways of supplying their
wants, show thrift and industry, and
be willing to abandon the town and
go upon the land? Even if there was
a factory for sewing kid gloves in this
town, how many of the native girls
would make themselves proficient in
the business?
I have not "settled the question."
but only present some considerations
regarding it.
