are financially and commercially
ruling the Islands. One year from
the day that restriction act shall
receive His Majesty's signature,
large portion of the finance of the
Islands will be directed and flow
into the hands of the Anglo-Saxons
and natives of the soil, which now a
very large portion goes to enrich
and is passing through the hands of
Asiatic. When this shall be accom-
plished hundreds of filthy deadfalls
now in existence in all parts of this
Kingdom will disappear, no longer
to entice the young Hawaiian female
to pursue life of voluptuousness
and immortality; the former owners
or proprietors of these dens of con-
tagion will Ego OUT from the coun-
try or go to work on plantation
for fair wages rs field laborers, in
their proper place. This policy, if
pursued, would supply all the
planters of the Islands with labor
under free working system, the
only system which has ever success
fully built up country either mon
archical or republican; the value of
plantation, sugar and rice lands
would rise to fair level, and the
Chinese themselves would in their
rice lands share the general pros
perity by renting at a reasonable
figure and getting large return
for their labor, capital, etc. Under
these circumstances I opine that it
will be no longer necessary for
Hawaiian statesmen or planters, to
keep the paid writer's in foreign
countries, or agents in Washington,
to hold treaty intended by Ameri-
can statesmen to benefit the Hawai-
ian instead of Eastern paupers, now
the large participators of the bene-
fits of that treaty. When these
Chinese are barred the right of hold
ing licenses they will then be com
PEELED to purchase food, clothing,
farming utensils, and all necessaries
of life from the white merchants,
who will purchase them from Ameri-
can manufacturers instead of pur-
chasing them in British Hongkong,
paying by American gold. When
such policy as l have outlined
shall eventuate, the Chinese mer-
chant and coolie will be the servant
instead of the master, and the Haw-
allan Government will be no longer
able to bring here coolies from the
Eastern Empire to be bound into
bondage under unjust and unfair
laws wholly in favor of the master.
The existing detncto slavery will be
swept away. No longer will the
Hawaiian official or planter be oblig-
ed to lobby in Washington, to hold
a treaty which under present circum-
stances they deserve not to hold !;
no longer will an unfeeling oppres-
sive master or the Government have
the right to imprison these unfortu-
nate laborers for violating overseers'
orders or labor contracts no longer
will contract laborers be seen work.
ing in Hawaiian chain-gang in pre-
ference to serving out their planta-
ton contract; no more the owner,
pseudo master or employer will, if
he feel disposed, dare to WELD his
automatic thunder and hard COM
mands to his fellow-being no more
will be heard of hard times and a
disunited people and utterances of
condemnation and dissatisfaction
which are now heard in the highest
and lowest circles in this land; no
longer will Hawaiian bonds be placed
on'a foreign or home market without
a taker; no longer will the people
refuse the Government means to
redeem her currency, which she has
been obliged to repudiate no longer
will our islands and people be brand
ed by civilized nations as slave
holding kingdom; no longer will the
people be taxed to build and repair
stockades to hold Japanese whom
the Hawaiian planter is unable to
satisfy or control; no longer will
the people be obliged to submit to
taxation to feed and maintain for
eign coolies unwilling to work for
their master whom l understand has
awarded them kind treatment, and
no more willour rulers be able to
run in worthless immigrants and
bring them into bondage under laws
now in existence, expressly made
for their government, then unlaw-
fully and without just authority
supersede our statute laws by a
ministerial order, done so for the
purpose of fulfilling an agreement
with the Asiatic potentate, the Mi
kado, who already has longing eye
on these islands, with his High Com
missioners here looking out for his
interests in the kingdom.
