the individual loss or disappointment, until large
surplus Of revenue is secured for internal improve
ment and the acquisition Of new people;-and &c
include also well devised measures for sanitary i'm
provement and reform, and especially some well
devised system of sanitary instruction for Your Maj
estys native people, so TO lead them to care for
their bodies in accordance with the conditions oil
civilized existence; aud lead them appreciate that
healthy body and well ordered household will be
recognized as the best and only satisfactory evil
dences Of their newly acquired civilization.
However, it is not our purpose to dwell on any
details Of policy administration, which properly
belong to the high and responsible duties Of Your
AIajestY's Governments and we will abide in the
hope that in the present exigencies of the Hawaiian
State, there will not be any measure neglected, nor
any talent ignored, which may be qualified in any
degree to promote the repopuaton Of these islands,
and to maintain the independent political condition
of this archipelago
But We will merely say, in passing, that the vast
human hive Of Asia invites us to recuperate our
Asiatic and tropical population from its teeming
millions To gain an infusion Of fresh blood from
kindred races is a necessity for Hawaii; and we will
find the cOnsanguneous afinities we need in the
over-peopled plains of British India in the swarm
ing isles Of the Malay Archipelago; in the noble
young Empire Of Japan. youthful in its ciyliza-
ton, and in other countless hordes Of the industri-
GUS and prolific races of the great and parent Cont-
wherever we can find people, who can hope
in being benefited by the favorable conditions Of
climate, soil, and good political order which we have
to present, and who will be well suited for complete
assimilation wnh the that peoples this archi-
pelago.
II is true that the peoples whom we desire and
whom we must seek are controlled by governments
and policies that might, at the first mention Of our
DESIRE refuse to grant us, for political considerations,
the opportunity for national recuperaton which We
needs but faithful and intelligent diplomacy, such
we trust Your Majesty will call into the service
Of the country, will take denial and will appeal
to every influence that is calculated to finally inspire
a favorable consideration Of our national condition
in the minds of the government Of any enlightened
and Christian power. And let say here, that we
would deem any false to the best interests Of this
country, false to the cause of Hawaii independ-
ence. and disoya to Your Majestys Royal State and
Person, who should endeavor to dissuade Your Maj
esty, or your government or your people, from
pursuing determined course for the repopulaton Of
this group of islands, with races kindred to, or
having afinities with the HaWaiians, wherever they
are TO be found in the world.
They to be found And intelligence, faith, and
love for this country under such auspices as Your
Majesty's Government can devise, will bring them
here. But they must be brought here wisely; in
carefully considered proportions, with correct infor
nation in respect TO the prospects that Hawaii can
afford, and to be accompanied on their journey and
their arrival at our shores with kindly and iu-
dicous influence, that shall induce them readily to
adopt our isles as their new and benefcent home.
And to succeed in this great work Of building up
Hawaii, what glory for Your Majesty, what pros
perity for the country, and what honor for all who
shall labor for its success Such work will win the
sympathy Of great and enlightened souls everywhere
Its pursuit will at once ennoble this little State;-
and success that shall at least double the population

equal to what she was when her independence was
first recognized, will fully that independence.
And then with prosperity and peace within her
borders. our recuperated Hawaii will be an honor to
its Ruler and youwork of restoration Of your country
in the happy establishment of two people where one
existed before, will reflect a glory Of which the
greatest monarch in the world might be proud.
And now ever praying for Your Majesty's con-
tiuued prosperity and permanence on the Hawaiian
Throne, We remain.
