the fact, no denial will do. They re-
mind me of an old negro deacon in .
the South. He was found by the /
owner of the hen yard just coming
out. The owner suspected the old
deacon of losing in his morals, and /
accused him of stealing. The old |
deacon denied and called upon heaven |
to witness his purity, but just at that |
moment a rooster pOked his head out |
from his pocket and gave lusty |
crow. Now, ThurstOn, in this case,
is the old negro deacon. He is gem
tleman of high pretentiOns to moral
purity, but still we find the rooster
peeping out of the pocket TO attract
the attention of heaven itself. do
not propose to dwell upon this mat
ter. / admire Thurston's not com
ing, for it would only have been add
ing falsehood to Doodle in deny
| ing it. The Doodle is proven.
Mr.. Dillingham; is making promises
| to working people. l admire what he
| has done; he has built railroad. If
[ had Dillingham's peculiar gift of
owning railroads, without paying out
! a cent, | would build a railroad round
| every island in the group. Dilling-
| ham claims to be a friend of the
natives. This gentleman is in the
trusts which have advanced the price
of food and drink. By arbitrarily
raising the freight of tarO from PuulOa
to Honolulu, he has raised the price
of every bite of poi in the market.
Every time you take bite of poi you
are paying tax to Dillingham;. His
o. r. & l.. Co. has got monopoly of
all the lands of Hawaii. They have
a monopoly of all the slaughter
houses, land you all know the fact that
they have raised the price of meat.
Every time you take bite of beef
you are paying a tax to your friend
Dillingham;. He has formed a milk
trust twice. The first time he
fell through. Now he has
raised the price of milk to
II cents and there it sticks.
Now you find this very excellent
friend of yours has raised the price of
poi, of beef and of water and milk.
love to be swindIed, and if you vote
for Dillingham; the people of Hawaii
will dearly love to be swindled. He
claims to be friend of the POrtu-
guese, yet he let contracts to Chinese,
although he got bids from foreigners
and natives. He has coolies on his
road vastly outnumbering the labor
ers of other natiOnalities. / had %
ride on his road yesterday. | saw
Portuguese at work on the road, but
/ noticed that they were born in
China. Last week l visited the POr-
tuguese colony. | found a startling
number of Portuguese out of work
and many are living. in a
precarious condition and don't
know where to get bread from.
This subject of coolies is most inn
portant. Dillingham; is not satisfied
with the coolies at present here, but
wishes to introduce others from East
India which is cheaper Now, if IS
cent coolies come here, where under
heaven are you going to live? How
are you going to provide for your
wives? There is a bird in Europe
called the vampire that bird puts
his bill in human beings and sucks
blood out of them. Marsden will
bring coolies here to suck blood out
of you. Heaven knows the cOolie
question is sufficiently serious already.
The mechanics will soon find that
the Japanese are infinitely more
dangerous than the Chinese ever was.
Dillingham; is allied with those peo-
pie who will bring coolies here, but
will prevent them if / can. Mr.. Dill
lingham sheds q few crocodile tears
and commiserates the natives for the
evils of the present Constitution, but
will he give you better one? MOI
one word of promise do / find in hi:
speeches with regard to Inequalities
to the native people. We, the Liberia
| n,txr MT m
if q sufficient number of us are elect
ed. We shall be elected on a measure
of peace and good fellowship. The
; missionaries are shouting peace
; peace, when there is no peace. The
: inequalities of the new constitution
rankles in his bosom, anC
there will be no peace un
, til the inequality is removed
There is absolutely no color line OF
this point. We are bound to prOtec
you against the missionary influence
If the missionaries can secure the
passing of that amendment, if they car
. GUST you from the right of franchise
then the missionaries can manipulate
the natives as they had done in tn
past, but we say the Germans, Amer
= leans, Portuguese, who have cast il
= their lot with us here, shall not b.
l deprived of their rights if the Liberia
J. party can prevent it. We don't wan
missionary faction to disfranchise tn
honest poor man; we want justice
If you want to avoid the result o
; being crowded out into the sea, int
i foreign countries, vote the Liberia
I ticket. If you don't want your rio
. patches turned into wildernesses, vot
e the Liberal ticket.
