ma, Honolulu, II. /.
DEAR SIR:-You may safely be-
lieve me, that I am deeply sorry at
Wilcox's unsuccessful, but patriotic
and most laudable attempt for de-
livering his race and country from
the execrable tyranny of the mission
airy oligarchy which is the meanest
and most demoralizing of all, be-
cause based on selfish principles.
The missionaries in the Hawaiian
Islands preach on Sunday and do all
kinds of worldly business through
| the week and NEEDLE in politics all
the year round.
The missionaries and their con-
federates and accomplices, are the
moral, material and political ruin of
the Hawaiians, and wherever they
go, these religious hypocrites
through their intense greediness,
equivocation and ambiguous deal
ing always are at the bottom of all
government troubles in Hawaii,
in Samoa, in Japan, in Corea, in
China, in Siam, in Burmah, ETC., etc.
[ have seen the missionaries at work
in the five (5) parts of the globe, and
nowhere they impress the people faV-
orably towards Christianity and
Christian civilization, "auri sacri
flames" being their only highly and
holy ideal, the Bible being used by
them as a mask.
l read with attention your letter
dated Honolulu, August I'd, and the
''Daily Bulletin" Of the same date,
discretionary edition" [ that
brought Wilcox and Boyd to school
in Italy in 1881 am glad that they
have shown some courage in facing
the oppressors of their fatherland
and their present unsuccess may
prove to be the vestibule of future
success.
Wilcox and Boyd who have had
ample opportunity to see the great
ness Of Italy, ancient and modern,
the splendor of the royal Italian
Court and of the papal court, the
might of the Italian army and navy,
the superior civilization, the pat
riotism, the progress, the welfare, the
privileges and the liberty of the
Italian people not tyrannized by any
religious oligarchy and both of them
(Wilcox and Boyd having received
classic education in the military
and naval academies Of Italy, the
superior Of all in Europe, as a mat
ter of course on their return to Ha-
wall, they must sometime have made
a parallel between what they have
seen abroad and what they found at
home; moreover seeing no avenue
open to them for giving to Hawaii
the benefit Of their education and ex-
perience acquired in Italy, owing to
the fact that the missionaries and
their cOnfederates monopolize every
thing and all the offices, they must
have concluded that a change of
constitution and of ministry through
instruction was an imperative
necessity for the good of Ha-
wall and of the Hawaiians, who pre-
vious to the missionary rule they
were prosperous free and numerous
and now reduced to poverty and in
number of population as low as sixty
thousand Hawaiians in all the isl
ands. The Hawaiians say and with
some foundation, that the mission
aries and Claus Spreckels are the
cause of all their evils and Wilcox
and Boyd thought it was their sacred
duty to put an end to them and in
surrection was their only medium;
and took their chances.
The missionaries do not believe in
improvements, do not believe that
the native Hawaiians are capable Of
self-government and therefore not
worthy of liberty; I know them we'll,
these religious statesmen, usurers
and shOpkeepers, | had to face their
narrow and selfish views in the years
1879-1880 in the Hawaiian parlia-
ment in regard to my trans pacific
cable project from California to
Sandwich Islands, Japan, Corea,
China and also about the Chinese
line of steamers from Canton to
Honolulu and San Francisco. These
missionaries do not believe in pro
gross and if it were in their power,
they would build Chinese wall all
around the Hawaiian Islands and
thus perpetuate their religious, poll
teal and commercial monopoly.
The present state of affairs in Ha-
waii is abnormal, obnoxious and
vexatious and cannot last long. It
could have ended the Both July last
if Wilcox had taken the necessary
precautions in time, viz: to have no
traitors in his camp, to arrest peace
fully, if possible, and forcibly, if
necessary, all the leaders of the mis-
sionary ring on the night of the Both,
destroyed all the telephone and tele-
graph communications, taken posses
sion of the strategic positions of
Honolulu, especially OF Punchbowl,
the Kings palace, the government
buildings, the wharf, the armory
and arms of the Honolulu Rifles,
kept his followers ready for action,
then proclaim himself the dictator
and strike a quick and decisive
