HAWAIIAN-AMERICAN TREATY OF FRIENDSHIP,
COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION, 1849
KAMEHAMEHA III., King of the Hawaiian Islands, to all to whom
these presents shall come, GREETING:
KNOW YE, that whereas a treaty of friendship, commerce and
navigation between Our Kingdom and the United States of North
America, was concluded and signed by Our and their Plenipotentiaries,
in the city of Washington, on the 20th day of December, 1849, which
treaty is word for word, as follows:
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HIS MAJESTY the KING
of the HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, equally animated with the desire of
maintaining the relations of good understanding which have hitherto so
happily subsisted between their respective states, and consolidating the
commercial intercourse between them, have agreed to enter into
negotiations for the conclusion of a treaty of friendship, commerce and
navigation, for which purpose they have appointed Plenipotentiaries, that
is to say: The President of the United States of America John M.
Clayton, Secretary of State of the United States; and His Majesty the
King of the Hawaiian Islands, James Jackson Jarves, accredited as His
special commissioner to the Government of the United States; who, after
having exchanged their full powers, found in good and due form, have
concluded and signed the following articles:
ARTICLE I.
There shall be perpetual peace and amity between the United States and
the King of the Hawaiian Islands, His heirs and His successors.
ARTICLE II.
There shall be reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation between
the United States of America and the Hawaiian Islands. No duty of
customs, or other impost, shall be charged upon any goods, the produce
or manufacture of one country, upon importation from such country into
the other, other or higher than the duty or impost charged upon goods of
the same kind, the produce or manufacture of, or imported from, any
other country: and the United States of America and His Majesty the
King of the Hawaiian Islands do hereby engage, that the subjects or
citizens of any other state shall not enjoy any favor, privilege or
immunity whatever, in matters of commerce and navigation, which shall
not also, at the same time, be extended to the subjects or citizens of the
other contracting parties gratuitously, if the concession in favor of that
other state shall have been gratuitous, and in return for a compensation,
as nearly as possible, of proportionate value and effect, to be adjusted by
mutual agreement, if the concession shall have been conditional. 116 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
ARTICLE III.
All articles the produce and manufacture of either country which can
legally be imported into either country from the other, in ships of that
other country, and thence coming, shall, when so imported, be subject to
the same duties, and enjoy the same privileges, whether imported in
ships of the one country, or in ships of the other; and in like manner, all
goods which can legally be exported or re-exported from either country
to the other, in ships of that other country, shall, when so exported or reexported, be subject to the same duties, and be entitled to the same
privileges, drawbacks, bounties and allowances, whether exported in
ships of the one country or in ships of the other; and all goods and
articles, of whatever description, not being of the produce or manufacture
of the United States, which can be legally imported into the Sandwich
Islands, shall, when so imported in vessels of the United States, pay no
other or higher duties, imposts or charges, than shall be payable upon the
like goods and articles, when imported in the vessels of the most favored
foreign nation other than the nation of which the said goods and articles
are the produce or manufacture.
ARTICLE IV.
No duties of tonnage, harbor, light-houses, pilotage, quarantine, or other
similar duties, of whatever nature, or under whatever denomination, shall
be imposed in either country upon the vessels of the other, in respect of
voyages between the United States of America and the Hawaiian Islands,
if laden, or in respect of any voyage, if in ballast, which shall not be
equally imposed in the like cases on national vessels.
ARTICLE V.
It is hereby declared, that the stipulations of the present treaty are not to
be understood as applying to the navigation and carrying trade between
one port and another situated in the States of either contracting party,
such navigation and trade being reserved exclusively to national vessels.
ARTICLE VI.
Steam vessels of the United States which may be employed by the
Government of the said States, in the carrying of their public mails
across the Pacific Ocean, or from one port in that ocean to another, shall
have free access to the ports of the Sandwich Islands, with the privilege
of stopping therein to refit, to refresh, to land passengers and their
baggage, and for the transaction of any business pertaining to the public
mail service of the United States, and shall be subject in such ports to no
duties of tonnage, harbor, light-houses, quarantine, or other similar duties
of whatever nature or under whatever denomination. 117 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
ARTICLE VII.
The whaleships of the United States shall have access to the ports of
Hilo, Kealakekua and Hanalei, in the Sandwich Islands, for the purposes
of refitment and refreshment, as well as to the ports of Honolulu and
Lahaina, which only are ports of entry for all merchant vessels, and in all
the above-named ports, they shall be permitted to trade or barter their
supplies or goods, excepting spirituous liquors, to the amount of two
hundred dollars ad valorem for each vessel, without paying any charge
for tonnage or harbor dues of any description, or any duties or imposts
whatever upon the goods or articles so traded or bartered. They shall
also be permitted, with the like exemption from all charges for tonnage
and harbor dues, further to trade or barter, with the same exemption as to
spirituous liquors, to the additional amount of one thousand dollars, ad
valorem, for each vessel, paying upon the additional goods, and articles
so traded and bartered, no other or higher duties, than are payable on like
goods, and articles, when imported in the vessels and by the citizens or
subjects of the most favored foreign nation. They shall also be permitted
to pass from port to port of the Sandwich Islands for the purpose of
procuring refreshments, but they shall not discharge their seamen or land
their passengers in the said Islands, except at Lahaina and Honolulu, and
in all ports named in this article, the whaleships of the United States shall
enjoy in all respects whatsoever, all the rights, privileges and immunities,
which are enjoyed by, or shall be granted to, the whaleships of the most
favored foreign nation. The like privilege of frequenting the three ports
of the Sandwich Islands, above named in this article, not being ports of
entry for merchant vessels, is also guaranteed to all the public armed
vessels of the United States. But nothing in this article shall be construed
as authorizing any vessel of the United States, having on board any
disease usually regarded as requiring quarantine, to enter, during the
continuance of such disease on board, any port of the Sandwich Islands,
other than Lahaina or Honolulu.
ARTICLE VIII.
The contracting parties engage, in regard to the personal privileges that
the citizens of the United States of American shall enjoy in the
dominions of His Majesty the King of Hawaiian Islands, and the subjects
of His said Majesty in the United States of America, that they shall have
free and undoubted right to travel and to reside in the states of the two
high contracting parties, subject to the same precautions of police which
are practised towards the subjects or citizens of the most favored
nations. They shall be entitled to occupy dwellings and warehouses, and
to dispose of their personal property of every kind and description, by
sale, gift, exchange, will, or in any other way whatever, without the
smallest hindrance or obstacle; and their heirs or representatives, being
subjects or citizens of the other contracting party, shall succeed to their
personal goods, whether by testament ab intestator; and may take
possession thereof, either by themselves, or by others acting for them,118 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
and dispose of the same at will, paying to the profit of the respective
governments such dues only as the inhabitants of the country wherein the
said goods are, shall be subject to pay in like cases. And in case of the
absence of the heirs and representative, such care shall be taken of the
said goods as would be taken of the goods of a native of the same
country in like case, until the lawful owner may take measures for
receiving them. And if a question should arise among several claimants
as to which of them said goods belong, the same shall be decided finally
by the laws and judges of the land wherein the said goods are. Where,
on the decease of any person holding real estate within the territories of
one party, such real estate would, by the laws of the land descend on a
citizen or subject of the other, were he not disqualified by alienage, such
citizen or subject shall be allowed a reasonable time to sell the same, and
to withdraw the proceeds without molestation, and exempt from all
duties of detraction on the part of the government of the respective
states. The citizens or subjects of the contracting parties shall not be
obliged to pay, under any pretense whatever, any taxes or impositions,
other or greater than those which are paid, or may hereafter be paid, by
the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation in the respective states
of the high contracting parties. They shall be exempt from all military
service, whether by land or by sea; from forced loans, and from every
extraordinary contribution not general and by laws established. Their
dwellings, warehouses, and all premises appertaining thereto, destined
for the purposes of commerce or residence, shall be respected. No
arbitrary search of, or visit to their houses, and no arbitrary examination
or inspection whatever of the books, papers or accounts of their trade,
shall be made; but such measures shall be executed only in conformity
with the legal sentence of a competent tribunal; and each of the two
contracting parties engages that the citizens or subjects of the other
residing in their respective states, shall enjoy their property and personal
security, in as full and ample manner as their own citizens or subjects, or
the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation, but subject always to
the laws and statutes of the two countries respectively.
ARTICLE IX.
The citizens and subjects of each of the two contracting parties shall be
free in the States of the other to manage their own affairs themselves, or
to commit those affairs to the management of any persons whom they
may appoint as their broker, factor or agent, nor shall the citizens and
subjects of the two contracting parties be restrained in their choice of
persons to act in such capacities, nor shall they be called upon to pay any
salary or remuneration to any person whom they shall not choose to
employ. Absolute freedom shall be given in all cases to the buyer and
seller to bargain together and to fix the price of any goods or
merchandise imported into, or to be exported from the States and
dominions of the two contracting parties; save and except generally such
cases wherein the laws and usages of the country may require the
intervention of any special agents in the States and dominions of the119 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
contracting parties. But nothing contained in this or any other article of
the present treaty shall be construed to authorize the sale of spirituous
liquors to the natives of the Sandwich Islands farther than such sale may
be allowed by the Hawaiian laws.
ARTICLE X.
Each of the two contracting parties may have, in the ports of the other,
consuls, vice-consuls, and commercial agents, of their own appointment,
who shall enjoy the same privileges and powers with those of the most
favored nation; but if any such consuls shall exercise commerce, they
shall be subject to the same laws and usages to which the private
individuals of their nation are subject in the same place. The said
consuls, vice-consuls, and commercial agents are authorized to require
the assistance of the local authorities for the search, arrest, detention and
imprisonment of the deserters from the ships of war and merchant
vessels of their country. For this purpose, they shall apply to the
competent tribunals, judges and officers, and shall in writing demand the
said deserters, proving by the exhibition of registers of the vessels, the
rolls of the crews, or by other official documents, that such individuals
formed part of the crews; and this reclamation being thus substantiated,
the surrender shall not be refused. Such deserters, when arrested, shall
be placed at the disposal of the said consuls, vice-consuls or commercial
agents, and may be confined in the public prisons at the request and cost
of those who shall claim them, in order to be detained until the time
when they shall be restored to the vessel to which they belonged, or sent
back to their own country, by a vessel of the same nation, or any other
vessel whatsoever. The agents, owners or masters of vessels on account
of whom the deserters have been apprehended, upon the requisition of
the local authorities shall be required to take or send away such deserters
from the states and dominions of the contracting parties, or give such
security for their good conduct as the law may require. But if not sent
back nor reclaimed within six months from the day or their arrest, or if
all the expenses of such imprisonment are not defrayed by the party
causing such arrest and imprisonment, they shall be set at liberty, and
shall not be again arrested for the same cause. However, if the deserters
should be found to have committed any crime or offense, their surrender
may be delayed until the tribunal before which their case shall be
depending shall have pronounced its sentence, and such sentence shall
have been carried into effect.
ARTICLE XI.
It is agreed that perfect and entire liberty of conscience shall be enjoyed
by the citizens and subjects of both the contracting parties, in the
countries of the one and the other, without their being liable to be
disturbed or molested on account of their religious belief. But nothing
contained in this article shall be construed to interfere with the exclusive120 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
right of the Hawaiian Government to regulate for itself the schools which
it may establish or support within its jurisdiction.
ARTICLE XII.
If any ships of war or other vessels be wrecked on the coasts of the states
or territories of either of the contracting parties, such ships or vessels, or
any parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging
thereunto, and all goods and merchandise which shall be saved
therefrom, or the produce thereof if sold, shall be faithfully restored with
the least possible delay to the proprietors, upon being claimed by them,
or by their duly authorized factors; and if there are no such proprietors or
factors on the spot, then the said goods and merchandise, or the proceeds
thereof, as well as all the papers found on board such wrecked ships or
vessels, shall be delivered to the American or Hawaiian consul, or viceconsul, in whose district the wreck may have taken place; and such
consul, vice-consul, proprietors or factors, shall pay only the expenses
incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the rate of
salvage and expenses of quarantine which would have been payable in
the like case of a wreck of a national vessel; and the goods and
merchandise saved from the wreck shall not be subject to duties unless
entered for consumption ; it being understood that in case of any legal
claim upon such wreck, goods or merchandise, the same shall be referred
for decision to the competent tribunals of the country.
ARTICLE XIII.
The vessels of either of the two contracting parties which may be forced
by stress of weather or other cause into one of the ports of the other, shall
be exempt from all duties of port or navigation paid for the benefit of the
State, if the motives which led to their seeking refuge be real and
evident, and if no cargo be discharged or taken on board, save such as
may relate to the subsistence of the crew, or be necessary for the repair
of the vessels, and if they do not stay in port beyond the time necessary,
keeping in view the cause which led to their seeking refuge.
ARTICLE XIV.
The contracting parties mutually agree to surrender, upon official
requisition, to the authorities of each, all persons who, being charged
with the crimes of murder, piracy, arson, robbery, forgery, or the
utterance of forged paper, committed within the jurisdiction of either,
shall be found within the territories of the other; provided, that this shall
only be done upon such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws
of the place where the person so charged shall be found, would justify his
apprehension and commitment for trial if the crime had there been
committed; and the respective judges and other magistrates of the two
governments, shall have authority, upon complaint made under oath, to
issue a warrant for the apprehension of the person so charged, that he121 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
may be brought before such judges or other magistrates respectively, to
the end that the evidence of criminality may be heard and considered;
and if, on such hearing, the evidence be deemed sufficient to sustain the
charge, it shall be the duty of the examining judge or magistrate to certify
the same to the proper executive authority, that a warrant may issue for
the surrender of such fugitive. The expense of such apprehension and
delivery shall be borne and defrayed by the party who makes the
requisition and receives the fugitive.
ARTICLE XV.
So soon as steam or other mail packets under the flag of either of the
contracting parties, shall have commenced running between their
respective ports of entry, the contracting parties agree to receive at the
Post Offices of those ports all mailable matter, and to forward it as
directed, the destination being to some regular Post Office of either
country; charging thereupon the regular postal rates as established by law
in the territories of either party receiving said mailable matter; in
addition to the original postage of the office whence the mail was sent.
Mails for the United States shall be made up at regular intervals at the
Hawaiian Post Office, and dispatched to ports of the United States, the
Postmasters at which ports shall open the same, and forward the enclosed
matter as directed, crediting the Hawaiian Government with their
postages as established by law and stamped upon each manuscript or
printed sheet. All mailable matter destined for the Hawaiian Islands shall
be received at the several Post-offices in the United States and forwarded
to San Francisco or other ports on the Pacific Coast of the United States,
whence the Post-masters shall dispatch it by the regular mail packets to
Honolulu, the Hawaiian Government agreeing on their part to receive
and collect for and credit the Post-office Department of the United States
with the United States rates charged thereupon. It shall be optional to
pre-pay postage on letters in either country, but postage on printed sheets
and newspapers shall in all cases be pre-paid. The respective Post-office
Departments of the contracting parties shall, in their accounts, which are
to be adjusted annually, be credited with all dead letters returned.
ARTICLE XVI.
The present treaty shall be in force from the date of the exchange of the
ratifications for the term of ten years, and further, until the end of twelve
months after either of the contracting parties shall have given notice to
the other of its intention to terminate the same, each of the said
contracting parties reserving to itself the right of giving such notice at the
end of the said term of ten years, or at any subsequent term. Any citizen
or subject of either party infringing the articles of this treaty shall be held
responsible for the same, and the harmony and good correspondence
between the two governments shall not be interrupted thereby, each party
engaging in no way to protect the offender or sanction such violation. 122 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
ARTICLE XVII.
The present treaty shall be ratified by the President of the United States
of America, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said
States, and the advice and consent of the Senate of the said States, and by
His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, by and with the advice of
His Privy Council of State, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at
Honolulu within eighteen months from the date of its signature, or sooner
if possible. In witness thereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have
signed the same in-triplicate, and have thereto affixed their Seals. Done

  country in like case, until the lawful owner may take measures for
  receiving them. And if a question should arise among several claimants
  as to which of them said goods belong, the same shall be decided finally
  by the laws and judges of the land wherein the said goods are. Where,
  on the decease of any person holding real estate within the territories of
  one party, such real estate would, by the laws of the land descend on a
  citizen or subject of the other, were he not disqualified by alienage, such
  citizen or subject shall be allowed a reasonable time to sell the same, and
  to withdraw the proceeds without molestation, and exempt from all
  duties of detraction on the part of the government of the respective
  states. The citizens or subjects of the contracting parties shall not be
  obliged to pay, under any pretense whatever, any taxes or impositions,
  other or greater than those which are paid, or may hereafter be paid, by
  the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation in the respective states
  of the high contracting parties. They shall be exempt from all military
  service, whether by land or by sea; from forced loans, and from every
  extraordinary contribution not general and by laws established. Their
  dwellings, warehouses, and all premises appertaining thereto, destined
  for the purposes of commerce or residence, shall be respected. No
  arbitrary search of, or visit to their houses, and no arbitrary examination
  or inspection whatever of the books, papers or accounts of their trade,
  shall be made; but such measures shall be executed only in conformity
  with the legal sentence of a competent tribunal; and each of the two
  contracting parties engages that the citizens or subjects of the other
  residing in their respective states, shall enjoy their property and personal
  security, in as full and ample manner as their own citizens or subjects, or
  the subjects or citizens of the most favored nation, but subject always to
  the laws and statutes of the two countries respectively.
  ARTICLE IX.
  The citizens and subjects of each of the two contracting parties shall be
  free in the States of the other to manage their own affairs themselves, or
  to commit those affairs to the management of any persons whom they
  may appoint as their broker, factor or agent, nor shall the citizens and
  subjects of the two contracting parties be restrained in their choice of
  persons to act in such capacities, nor shall they be called upon to pay any
  salary or remuneration to any person whom they shall not choose to
  employ. Absolute freedom shall be given in all cases to the buyer and
  seller to bargain together and to fix the price of any goods or
  merchandise imported into, or to be exported from the States and
  dominions of the two contracting parties; save and except generally such
  cases wherein the laws and usages of the country may require the
  intervention of any special agents in the States and dominions of the119 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
  contracting parties. But nothing contained in this or any other article of
  the present treaty shall be construed to authorize the sale of spirituous
  liquors to the natives of the Sandwich Islands farther than such sale may
  be allowed by the Hawaiian laws.
  ARTICLE X.
  Each of the two contracting parties may have, in the ports of the other,
  consuls, vice-consuls, and commercial agents, of their own appointment,
  who shall enjoy the same privileges and powers with those of the most
  favored nation; but if any such consuls shall exercise commerce, they
  shall be subject to the same laws and usages to which the private
  individuals of their nation are subject in the same place. The said
  consuls, vice-consuls, and commercial agents are authorized to require
  the assistance of the local authorities for the search, arrest, detention and
  imprisonment of the deserters from the ships of war and merchant
  vessels of their country. For this purpose, they shall apply to the
  competent tribunals, judges and officers, and shall in writing demand the
  said deserters, proving by the exhibition of registers of the vessels, the
  rolls of the crews, or by other official documents, that such individuals
  formed part of the crews; and this reclamation being thus substantiated,
  the surrender shall not be refused. Such deserters, when arrested, shall
  be placed at the disposal of the said consuls, vice-consuls or commercial
  agents, and may be confined in the public prisons at the request and cost
  of those who shall claim them, in order to be detained until the time
  when they shall be restored to the vessel to which they belonged, or sent
  back to their own country, by a vessel of the same nation, or any other
  vessel whatsoever. The agents, owners or masters of vessels on account
  of whom the deserters have been apprehended, upon the requisition of
  the local authorities shall be required to take or send away such deserters
  from the states and dominions of the contracting parties, or give such
  security for their good conduct as the law may require. But if not sent
  back nor reclaimed within six months from the day or their arrest, or if
  all the expenses of such imprisonment are not defrayed by the party
  causing such arrest and imprisonment, they shall be set at liberty, and
  shall not be again arrested for the same cause. However, if the deserters
  should be found to have committed any crime or offense, their surrender
  may be delayed until the tribunal before which their case shall be
  depending shall have pronounced its sentence, and such sentence shall
  have been carried into effect.
  ARTICLE XI.
  It is agreed that perfect and entire liberty of conscience shall be enjoyed
  by the citizens and subjects of both the contracting parties, in the
  countries of the one and the other, without their being liable to be
  disturbed or molested on account of their religious belief. But nothing
  contained in this article shall be construed to interfere with the exclusive120 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
  right of the Hawaiian Government to regulate for itself the schools which
  it may establish or support within its jurisdiction.
  ARTICLE XII.
  If any ships of war or other vessels be wrecked on the coasts of the states
  or territories of either of the contracting parties, such ships or vessels, or
  any parts thereof, and all furniture and appurtenances belonging
  thereunto, and all goods and merchandise which shall be saved
  therefrom, or the produce thereof if sold, shall be faithfully restored with
  the least possible delay to the proprietors, upon being claimed by them,
  or by their duly authorized factors; and if there are no such proprietors or
  factors on the spot, then the said goods and merchandise, or the proceeds
  thereof, as well as all the papers found on board such wrecked ships or
  vessels, shall be delivered to the American or Hawaiian consul, or viceconsul, in whose district the wreck may have taken place; and such
  consul, vice-consul, proprietors or factors, shall pay only the expenses
  incurred in the preservation of the property, together with the rate of
  salvage and expenses of quarantine which would have been payable in
  the like case of a wreck of a national vessel; and the goods and
  merchandise saved from the wreck shall not be subject to duties unless
  entered for consumption ; it being understood that in case of any legal
  claim upon such wreck, goods or merchandise, the same shall be referred
  for decision to the competent tribunals of the country.
  ARTICLE XIII.
  The vessels of either of the two contracting parties which may be forced
  by stress of weather or other cause into one of the ports of the other, shall
  be exempt from all duties of port or navigation paid for the benefit of the
  State, if the motives which led to their seeking refuge be real and
  evident, and if no cargo be discharged or taken on board, save such as
  may relate to the subsistence of the crew, or be necessary for the repair
  of the vessels, and if they do not stay in port beyond the time necessary,
  keeping in view the cause which led to their seeking refuge.
  ARTICLE XIV.
  The contracting parties mutually agree to surrender, upon official
  requisition, to the authorities of each, all persons who, being charged
  with the crimes of murder, piracy, arson, robbery, forgery, or the
  utterance of forged paper, committed within the jurisdiction of either,
  shall be found within the territories of the other; provided, that this shall
  only be done upon such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws
  of the place where the person so charged shall be found, would justify his
  apprehension and commitment for trial if the crime had there been
  committed; and the respective judges and other magistrates of the two
  governments, shall have authority, upon complaint made under oath, to
  issue a warrant for the apprehension of the person so charged, that he121 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
  may be brought before such judges or other magistrates respectively, to
  the end that the evidence of criminality may be heard and considered;
  and if, on such hearing, the evidence be deemed sufficient to sustain the
  charge, it shall be the duty of the examining judge or magistrate to certify
  the same to the proper executive authority, that a warrant may issue for
  the surrender of such fugitive. The expense of such apprehension and
  delivery shall be borne and defrayed by the party who makes the
  requisition and receives the fugitive.
  ARTICLE XV.
  So soon as steam or other mail packets under the flag of either of the
  contracting parties, shall have commenced running between their
  respective ports of entry, the contracting parties agree to receive at the
  Post Offices of those ports all mailable matter, and to forward it as
  directed, the destination being to some regular Post Office of either
  country; charging thereupon the regular postal rates as established by law
  in the territories of either party receiving said mailable matter; in
  addition to the original postage of the office whence the mail was sent.
  Mails for the United States shall be made up at regular intervals at the
  Hawaiian Post Office, and dispatched to ports of the United States, the
  Postmasters at which ports shall open the same, and forward the enclosed
  matter as directed, crediting the Hawaiian Government with their
  postages as established by law and stamped upon each manuscript or
  printed sheet. All mailable matter destined for the Hawaiian Islands shall
  be received at the several Post-offices in the United States and forwarded
  to San Francisco or other ports on the Pacific Coast of the United States,
  whence the Post-masters shall dispatch it by the regular mail packets to
  Honolulu, the Hawaiian Government agreeing on their part to receive
  and collect for and credit the Post-office Department of the United States
  with the United States rates charged thereupon. It shall be optional to
  pre-pay postage on letters in either country, but postage on printed sheets
  and newspapers shall in all cases be pre-paid. The respective Post-office
  Departments of the contracting parties shall, in their accounts, which are
  to be adjusted annually, be credited with all dead letters returned.
  ARTICLE XVI.
  The present treaty shall be in force from the date of the exchange of the
  ratifications for the term of ten years, and further, until the end of twelve
  months after either of the contracting parties shall have given notice to
  the other of its intention to terminate the same, each of the said
  contracting parties reserving to itself the right of giving such notice at the
  end of the said term of ten years, or at any subsequent term. Any citizen
  or subject of either party infringing the articles of this treaty shall be held
  responsible for the same, and the harmony and good correspondence
  between the two governments shall not be interrupted thereby, each party
  engaging in no way to protect the offender or sanction such violation. 122 HAWAIIAN JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS: Vol. 1 (Summer 2004)
  ARTICLE XVII.
  The present treaty shall be ratified by the President of the United States
  of America, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said
  States, and the advice and consent of the Senate of the said States, and by
  His Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Islands, by and with the advice of
  His Privy Council of State, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at
  Honolulu within eighteen months from the date of its signature, or sooner
  if possible. In witness thereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have
  signed the same in-triplicate, and have thereto affixed their Seals. Done
  at Washington, in the English Language, the twentieth day of December,
  in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-nine.
