to shoulder the firm step Of a conqueror,
the banker, planter merchant, me
chdnic, laborer and even to the poorest
and humblest of patriotic citizens, to
strain every nerve in the human body
with grit, pluck and courage for the
cause, for ifyou don't succeed, try and
try again, as
Little drops of water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
The time is not far distant that the
Stars and Stripes of the home, the
brave and the free will ascend to the
zenith of its pinnacle on Hawaiian terri
tory unfurling to the breeze in these
beautiful and tropical isles, which are
the emeralds of the Pacific from the
snowy and iced Crests of Mauna kea,

of the sea, its submits piercing into

ago, the barrier between civilization on
the one side and almost unbroken bar.
barlsm on the other, the beautiful plains
Of Waimea, rich and luXuriant in foil
age, with thousand times thousand of
cattle grazing from sunrise till sunset
Sugar plantations and minor industry
IN operation with millions and millions
OF capital invested and planted there
An island of herself rich in resources
and wealth, and in whose glory she
proudly shares. Thence westward
poured the tide of American civiliza-
ton, pride and progress. From the
rugged and towering cliffs of Haleakaa
you gaze upon Spreckelsville, of miles
and miles of sugar cane, once a barren
plain, but by the ingenuity of man, pro-
PEELED by capital and labor, it is con
verted into resources of wealth. Thence
onward to the last, the garden island,
which is the most beautiful of the
group in verdure and green, a vigorous
and prosperous island, during the few
years just passed equal if not superior,
to that of any other in proportion.

are we for a moment to think that the
Democratic administration will restore
the old regime, which is contrary to the
principles and laws of the United
States, when she has done no wrong
or even lifted a finger. Thousands and
thousands of lives persisted at the great
rebellion, and blood flowed like water,
in obtaining from under the heels OF
injustice and tyranny and Great Britain
for Liberty, Freedom and Equality.
We hold forth our hands to the
American people whose forefathers
reared the magnificent structure of a
free republic, that laid its foundation
broad and deep in the elemental prin-
ciples of right. Its materials We're all
guarded from the mountain of truth
and as it rose majestically before an
astonished world it reiolCed the
hearts and hopes of mankind. Ty
rants only cursed the workmen and
their workmanship. Its architecture
was new. 1t had no pattern in GreCian
and Roman history 1t seemed a
paragon let down from Heaven to in
spire the hopes of men, and to demon
strate Gods favor to the people of the
new world. The builders recognized
the rights of human nature as uni
versal. Liberty, the great first right of
man, they claimed for all men, and
claimed it from God himself Upon
this foundation they erected the tenn
pie, and dedicated 1t Liberty Equal
ity and Justice, as the avenue Of hope,
the Utopia of the nations
