America, and is "monarch of all he
surveys" from Cape Horn to Behr-
ing's Strait He has stepped across
the Pacific Ocean, leaving the i'm
print of his enterprising foot upon
the various islands of the sea; he
has taken possession of Australia
and India with their countless thou
sands; he has gone to Africa and

time, it will not be a Mongo Park.
n Livingstone, Baker, or a Stanley,
as traveller or explorer. The
coming of the white man TO Africa
means government, enterprise, agri-
culture, commerce, churches,
schools, law and order. 1t will be
better for the colored man to have
the white man rule. 1t is better for
the yellow man of India and Austria
liza that the white man rule, and it
is better here that the white man
rule, not that he should hold the
offices and be king, but he must do
a large share towards making the
laws, and then seeing that they are
obeyed by king and people.
Moral benefits. Years ago, when
the first missionaries landed upon
these Islands, they found the people
truly "children of nature"-inno-
cent, hospitable, unschooled and
untaught, living in the rudest way,
laboring but little even to secure
comforts, with no commerce and
little agriculture, and with very
crude ideas about property. But
the native was taught how to in
crease his comforts by labor, which
he has done to some extent, but he
does not like it. He has learned
that civilized government requires
officers. The office he likes-(most
men do if the salaries are large)-
for he has learned that it is an easy
way to get q living. He has also
learned that to support q civilized
government and pay its officers re-
quires money, which is taken from
the people by law in the way of n
tax. These things he has learned,
but he has not learned yet of the
sacredness of money taken from the
people by process of law, and the
personal and moral obligation of
every officer to restore to the people
full value for every dollar taken
from them by process of law, and
that the people will hold him
strictly accountable for it. This
he has, not learned, and must be
taught it by the white man, and you,
gentlemen, must teach him. All
the native seems to comprehend
now, is, first, to get into Office, and
if his salary is not large enough TO
support his fancied dignity, he
must raise it: and if the money is
not in the treasury to pay his checks,
he is to take it from those that have
it by process of law, as he has been
taught. So, almost without discus
sion, without consultation with the
parties most affected, in Il hasty and
undigniiied manner and by rs it
were wave of the hand, 335 per
cent is added to the tax roll of the
kingdom. This, l say, the native
has been taught by the white man,
but he does not yet realize that to
all this power there are necessarily
some bounds and limits fixed, as
well as the moral and personal OBJ
legations attending it. And further,
he does not realize the danger
} there is in taxing people without theil
| consent. An unwarranted use of this
power has upset the authority
| of powerful nations anc
} caused the shedding of much blood
l The white man has organized fo
r the native, a government, placed th'
ballot in his hands, and set him W
f as lawmaker and ruler; but the
placing of these powers in his hands
t before he knows how to use them i:
] like placing sharp knives, pointed
} instruments, and dangerous tools il
, the hands of infants. They do no
, yet realize the effects of their Owl
J acts even upon themselves; hence
, they want teaching. You mus
t teach them, do not take these power
e from them, but teach them how t.
4 use them, so as not to injure them
e selves and us. 1t is now painful,
n evident that our last Legislature an
y the preceding one were handling
