flGnt, anu am Wiling 10 place my
self in your hands. He then went
on in n humorous strain to tell about
the feast he proposed to give on Fri.
day next at Makawao and concluded
by inviting all people of every
nationality to be there and partake
Of his hospitality.
Mr.. J. w. ka)ua was next called
and addressed the meeting in his
most felicitous manner. He said I
represented you in the Legislature
from 1880 To so and was an indie.
pendent candidate, opposed to the
administration because l knew that
it would eventually bring the coun.
try to trouble and perhaps ruin.
This administration was still in
power in 1887 when the crisis came
and the haoles usurped the power.
At that time they went from house
to house, met on the street corners,
in halls and other places, and called
the King all sorts of vile names, and
said the constitution WAS rotten, and
that it must be replaced by new
one, which they forced at the point
of the bayonet on the country, and
what sort of Constitution is il! l
will tell you, it has made you slaves,
by restricting your rights, and Civ
ing the power into the hands of
haoles. care nothing for Baldwin
and his millions or any other sugar
planter who wants to bring in
Chinese TO the dctriment of the
natives, and will oppose them with
all my strength. The planters tried
Portuguese labor, but find that, as
they made mistake by enfranchis-
ing them, they want no more of
them, and arc now flooding the
country with cheap japanese labor.
This is kingdom ruled by sugar
planters, and they have enslayed the
natives. Other countries have pass
ed through the same ordeal. The
United States had four years of bit
ter war and much blood was shed
for the same thing that is now so
prevalent here. The native is o
slave to be sent to prison if he don't
work and if he has no money TO pay
his fine then he has TO work for the
government. Let US change this,
and give the native chance, stop
this wholesale importation Of Asiatic
labor; make those who are now here
work on plantations and, wheu their
time expires, il they don't contract
again, kick them out of the country.
Don't have them here, to pound
poi, cultivate taro, do the mechani-
cal work of the country, or anything
else but just plantation laborers'
work. At the Lahaina mill they
employ one skilled mechanic and
the others are japanese and Chi
nese; what is the consequence?
| They are continually having trouble
| and breakdowns and all on account
| of cheap labor. Not long ago Mr.
Marques went to Portugal As the
| full-fedged representative of this
country, his papers from the King
in his pocket; his mission was to
secure laborers, but when he got
there he was aked in what kind of
money the men were paid. He said,
in L. S. gold coin; they said, Go
to England and get your money
changed to English coin and we will
go. He went to England but could
not obtain the money, as the Eng
lishmen said, $50 away, we want
nothing to dc with you or your
| country, it is oyerrun with Japa-
nese." A great deal has been said
about what has been done for the
Hawaiian by the old missionaries {;
we acknowledge that they have
done great deal, hut there is n
great deal that they have not done.
| On the Island of Molokai there once
lived missionary by the name of
Hitchcock, he, as well as all other
missionaries. told the natives that
they must marry the women they
were living with, and that they
must read their Bibles and live
good, virtuous lives. The natives
