Beneath these principles have they fought i'll the

receipts of kamehameha and LunalilO with the
time of kalakaua l.

of the Reciprocity Treaty in 1876, opposing ). Nj.
Kamakau, who bitterly opposed it. The brood
light of day has come, the face Of the land is
turned upwards. In place of the grass hnt IL the
wooden dwelling of the Hawaiian. The Hawaiian,
tie foreigner the Chinese and the Portuguese have
BECOME independent. MucT money has come into
the country. The public debt was in 1873 $i4i,-
$40, 1882 (lSS0?) $2S547j, balance of debt Sli9,
325. Whence comes this great fall OF the debt:
The answer is: From the great increase in the
value of land from the Reciprocity Treaty.
Money in the Treasury is abou S3JO,OUO. Nowh
the debt is taken from this there remains Sl9l,Dl
i'll the Treasury. Then you 60! Ihe debt pad

HAIKU and we of the back lands fought for the

who supported S. NJ. Kamakau, Piipo, kalaukoa
and MahelOna heau, MOanauli. Jr., OF those days
and kunuiakea, +. Pana, j. halanna, POepoe of
those days. All opposed the treaty, which has now
enriched all and preserved the independence Of
the country.
All know that the balance of receipt of the Gov
ernment is ouly half million. Some say that the
opponents of "a million dollar loan have no place
tO stand. If it shall be thought best for the coun
thy to borrow half n million. | shall powerfully
assist but that will not be the proper limit. Ten
is what desire. If there is great capital, there
will he greatr iches
We therefore stand before you, without fear, or
trembling and without Hypocrisy. l would be
opposed to a debt-if there was but one session of
the Legislature, but 1t meets every years, and
can consider it-and if bad repeal the law. There
fore there is cause to fear.

all campaigns when Lilikalani has run he has
put out little papers demanding the erection On
each island of hospitals. The coming Session
will be good time tO pass appropriations for this
purpose. There is in Honolulu leper hos
pital, why not have them each island. l
strongly supported this last session and if again
get i'll, shall give it my full strength till the stars
of heaven fall / am stranger III this district,
but old hand in the Legislature, bat because this
Attorney General has said that nv district cannot
vote, was desired TO come here, and here am
and ask the suifrages of all those who would
sist this man, who would lead the nation into
riches and Independence.
There three great objects for the coming Leg
islature: The public health, source of public
wealth, and watchfullness Of our independence.
