ITO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: Unbidden
I stand upon your shores today where I
thought so soon to receive a royal welcome
on my way to my own Kingdom. l come
unattended except by the loving hearts
that have come with me over the wintry
seas. hear that commissioners from nv
land have been for many days asking this
great nation to take away my little vine
yard. They speak no word to me and
leave me to find out as can from the ru-
mors OF the air that they would leave me
without home or name or a nation.
Demands the Annexers' Authority
Seventy years ago Christian America
sent over Christian men and women to give
religion and civilization to Hawaii They
gave us the gospel, they made us nation
and we learned to love and trust America
Today three of the sons of those mission
Aries are at your capital asking you to
undo their fathers work. Who sent them?
Who gave them authority to break the
constitution which they swore they would
uphold
Comes to Claim Her Rights.
"Today l, a poor, weak girl, with not
one of my people near me, and all these
Hawaiian statesmen against me, have
strength to stand up for the rights Of my
people. Even now 1 can hear their wall in
my heart and it gives me strength and
courage; AMI 1 am strong, strong in the
faith of God, strong in the knowledge that
am right, strong in the strength of TO-
100000 people who in this free land will
hear my cry and will refuse to let their
nag cover dishonor to mine"
