whom no one has attacked, and don't
know how. Oh no! Bogus with u
contra prefix, it is not good dead
folks that we are writing about, but
some Of the mcrcenary ones OF the
! present generation. Are you SO
blind with self-suflciency that you
cannot realize that it is you and not
your grandmother that "Whcat"
means? None are so blind as those
that won't see.
3rd Qucstion--If they also were
fortunate enough 10 leave few
acres for their children, was it not
a commcndable, Christian action?
Answer-It was an act Of selfish
interest, commendable enough, but
not the work they were sent here to
do while drawing a salary from the
Board, and if in securing home
stead they got several thousand
acres for plantation and charged
"a per cent interest, compounded, in
loaning out the cash salary to the
native, you should not expect the
| public to pat YOU on the back for it
and call it Christian act.
18th Queslion-If the Hawaiian is
less able to hold land in fee simple,
less provident ny nature aud by
training, let's the kuleana slip from
his grasp, was it the fault of the
missionary fathers who labored for
his benefit, who urged the common
man, sometimes without success, 10
buy land while he could?
Answer If the Missionary fathers
took advantage of these proverbial
failings Of the native, then they were
at fault. The position they occu-
pied to the native as religious teach
ers would forbid it.
9TH Question Would CAV heat"
have the missionary children all de-
camp as fast as they grew up, and,
like Gen. Armstrong and others,
throw the weight of their influence
only in the father land?
Answer-Don't go to the States
and play with the niggers like Gen.
Armstrong. If you can't get along
with the native, you wont have any
show with them. But if it is q mat
ter of taste, we will not dictate.
Cinnamon seem good enough for you
to work on. You are content to i'm
port them into, and not export them
out of, Hawaii to reduce the wages
of the native toiling in your cane
fields, hold the reins of his govern.

doubtful of results at the ballot
box, import few more Portuguese
and give them free franchise. II

He closes as follows: ''It seems
to me that fairly looked at, we have

ers, except that corporation for tn

in the true spirit of brotherhood, b

to tones of thunder and as tn

: Don't you who are now so intclIi
gent, refined, educated and wealth
be content to sec the native slayin
E alongside of the Asiatic in the cane
] field for bare living. This is nc
, the way to carry out the work G
l your fathers and mothers. If thi
: importation of Asiatics is your gain
, it is their loss; if it puts money int
e your pocket, it lessons their shoV
f for existence. During these Ion
a years of prosperity to you and deaf
? to the native, has q voice ever bee
t raised IN your churches or elsewher
: to export or return any of thes
hordes, and why not? Because labo
must be kept down that your gain
. might increase, whether the natv
goes under or not. And you st
expect men to believe that you wor
, for the benefit of the native and nc
your pockets.
