ourselves against the incoming OF the
thousands of Chinese now on Ha-
waiian soil, wilfully defying our
laws, leading astray and polluting
our young females. The most
learned writers of civilized nations
in this enlightened age, who have
had occasion to experience Asiatic
RIGHTEOUSNESS, acknowledge the in
fuence of those races TO be materi-
ally detrimental to the progress of
humanity and an impediment in the
way of civilization. Especially is
this the case in countries where they |
have been allowed liberty, with
equal rights, to compete with other
nationalities. To His Majesty rs
ruler at the head of the nation, more |
than any other person, belongs the |
responsibility of redeeming the lost
prestige of his race and securing
their future happiness, welfare,
prosperity and unity, by changing
the immigration policy heretofore
pursued by his ministers. If he
accomplish this object he will secure
for himself and people Il name which
will hereafter be honored and re-
spected by foreign nations, render
the balance of his reign inconceiv-
ably grand, and firmly establish him
self under the protection of native
and foreign subjects alike who are
now being superseded and pushed
to the wall by uncomfortable Asia
tics. If there is not a kapu or some
restriction placed upon the influence
of the Mongolian races, or if they
are not restricted in business con-
Germs now controlled by them in q
preponderating degree, the white
race in the near feature will be OBJ
liged to close out their business
enterprises at serious loss, and quit
the Kingdom to invest their capital
in safer market, leaving the Ha-
waiian race and their posterity I'M
der the control and protection (D
of race of unprincipled eastern
pagans who have been liberated
from bondage by their former mas
ters in order to save to them
selves the expense of returning
them home to the Chinese Empire.
What fatal and unforeseeing mis-
take has been made by our law
makers in immigration legislation.
1t has been the direct cause of super
seding many of our foreign mer-
chants, and throwing a very large
portion of Hawaiian trade into the
hands of Asiatic merchants, SO that,
to-day, bankruptcy and insolvency
stare the white merchants in the
face, when they would have been
doing a prosperous business on q
firm and substantial basis in this,
their adopted country, if these
coolie laborers had not been allowed
liberty and equal rights with them
and the original owners of the soil.
We are reluctantly compelled to ac-
cept the situation and the deplorable
state of affairs as they now exist.
Mongolians are here in large num-
5 bers, and by the sanction of our rulers
: they are firmly established, boarding
our gold and controlling very
large portion of Hawaiian business
enterprises throughout the kingdom,
: protected by statute laws and by
His Majesty's leading officials, and

the consent of very large majority
of his foreign and native subjects,

barassed and hostile to this encroach.
