| have the best of reasons to believe
that neither Dillingham;, nor any of
his family, ever contributed one dime
towards this 1854, 600 or 100000
worth of stock held by him and his
relatives. He had through his agents
obtained votes in parliament exempt
ing the company from taxes, but
even yet he is not satisfied with what
others had done for him, and he wants
to have everything in sight. Dill
bingham is under the thumb of CAPT
talists, and he is influenced to do as
they tell him. His line runs to Eva
Plantation, where he hopes to get
1000 tons of sugar as freight for his
railroad, from which he can collect
dividends. But the success of the
plantation, the owners say, depends
on cheap labor-Japanese coolies.
They expect japanese labOrers soon.
The lower class laborers they pick
up, and the high class they send
adrift. If you elect Dillingham;, he
will absolutely flood the country with
coolies, who, Marsden says, will work
for Is cents day. Gentleman, how
can you support and clothe your
families, find food and decent houses
to live in, and compete with laborers
working at Is cents day? Mr.. Dill
lingham has no interest in doing that,
he must do simply what the planters
tell him to do; he is under their
thumb. Dillingham; promises to give
all of you employment. He is good
hand at promises. have heard of
that game being played by the mis-
sionaries before; they are full of
promises, and after their election let
them work for one day, and then they
say, 81 have performed my promise;
you can go, and God bless you" Dill
bingham makes the same promises.
He has got the Chinese contract in
his eye. Gentlemen, the Liberal
party is pledged to promote labor and
to promote everything tending to
benefit the country. We have no
warehouses nor sugar interests, but
we are friendly to all industries. We
say that the laborer must be able
to live, clothe and educate his family.
Scores of Portuguese are out of work,
and you do not get adequate wages.
You are willing to work if you can
get wages sufficient to provide your
family with food. They want more
labor, but they do not look around
for laborers out of work in this
country. They cry for more cheap
Coolies. What will you do if Coolies
come? You must find n place to
work, or else leave the country. You
here have families, and it is right
that you should be employed as
laborers rather than be compelled to
leave your cottages on the slopes Of
Punchbowl Hill and drift away to
California. The stores will miss you,
and will find business failing. The
Liberal party will carry out their
pledges if enough of them are
elected to do it at the coming election.
We pledge ourselves to reduce taxes.
we want to place more on rich sub
jects and less on the poor. The poor
are overtaXed. Unless you own $1,000
worth of property, you ought not to
pay / cent of taxes. If a poor man
gets in debt, the Marshal takes every
thing he has down to his bed quilt and
his his knife and fork. You are left with
nothing to feed your children with
the next day. The planks of oul
platform give you land. At present
the government lands are put up Sc
that nobody but capitalists can touch
them. We promise to divide into
homesteads the Crown lands now
parceled out to sugar kings. We
want to divide the Crown lands, and
give the sovereign compensation
in money instead of the rent
she receives from that source
What has Dillingham; done to give
you land? Nothing. The missionary
party, the land grabbers themselves,
| you'll never get one cent from thai
party. If you want land, vote for the
Liberal candidates. If you want tC
be protected from japanese coolie;
and small poX, vote for the Liberia
candidates. Every vote for Dilling
| ham is vote to lock land up so tina
you can never get at it. Every VOTE
for Dillingham; is to flood the country
with East India coolies. You know
my sentiments and you can see Dill
lingham for yourselves. Take you
choice. God bless you and the win
ming candidate. Good night.
