To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES:
The most important question which
now attracts public attention in the
Islands is the departure of
the foreign population by every avail
able opportunity for the coast; the
general stagnation of business with
and the large and continu-
Gus influx of Asiatic coolies, who are
arriving by every steamer and secur-
ing control Of the main business of
the islands; very large and wealthy
portion of them are already fairly es-
tablished in every portion Of our group,
bound together in secret societies,
strictly patronizing and protecting
each other against the whites and the
natives Of the soil; they are now con-
trolling very large portion of our
mercantile pursuits; the whole of the
rice and vegetable productions are
now in their hands; they supply the
white and native races in the country
with the food they consume, raised
from Hawaiian soil, most of which is
now absolutely held by them; they
are supplying nearly the whole of our
plantations with laborers, consequent
ly receiving nearly the whole of the
money paid out by the sugar planter
for labor throughout the islands. This
Mongolian stranger is gradually and
surely sealing the fate Of Hawaiians,
and securing for himself these Ha-
waiian Islands. From the day of his
first landing here lie has been a
scourge and curse to the Hawaiian
and to civilization in all places where
he has been allowed to encroach. 1t
is an indisputable fact that this coun-
try is fast passing into the hands of
the Asiatic planter.imported coolie,
and that by the consent of the King,
our ruler, and his obedient Ministry.
The money received from Hawaiian
sugars entering American ports duty
free, is now passing direct into their
hands. With the assistance and pro-
lection of the Hawaiian Government
he (the COOLEY has artfulIy succeeded
in securing the control of large por-
ton of the native lands, with their full
patronage, and by the united help of
each other these coolies are gradually
compelling our white merchants and
business men to close out at a severe
loss and leave the kingdom-which
process, being continued another year
more without interruption, the future
prosperity of the whites, and the fate
of these islands, will become sealed
beyond redemption, to the sons Of
Confucius. Business is in deplora.
BILE and unsatisfactory state of de.
preston and stagnation. The country
is fast approaching serious crisis
bordering on anarchy or revolution
which can be avoided only for a shor,
time. Failures and bankruptcy, and
the chronicling of daily falsehoods b,
our public journals, mostly in order te
save the Treaty, are the general orde
of the day. The whites are endeavor
ing to convert their property of man,
years accumulation into money, ana
are leaving by every steamer this cor
rupt and misgoverned kingdom. l
the Chinese here are allowed to con
tinue in business with the same priv
ileges they now enjoy under the fos
tering care and protection bestowed
in their behalf by the Hawaiian King
they will in the near future compe
every white merchant to retire a
great sacrifice and bid adieu foreve
to these islands. The business anc
enterprise of the whites have beer
checked by the King and government
the Chinese are dominant, and thu
days Of the native race are numbered
1t is wcll-known fact that there
is in existence a powerful organiza
