preachers or sailors, who are now pos
ing a. American capitalists aud "a
lords OF the soil, claiming the right to
rule ana to dispose of the country,
and whose adherents aud hirelIugs
today are ruthlesSly trampling upon
peoples rights and who dare 10
threaten 10 depOrt, TO assassin and
TO violate all sense Of honor and prin-
ciples of justice. These are the class
of people whom YOU have assisted
more than once With your capital,
aud these are the very men who
threaten, aud If they dared would
take your life, and whose bitter
ness lead them to placard your
residence with their threats. But,
sir, they are not the only peo-
pie in this country. The Hawaiian
people, whom We represent, and q
large number, nay, q majority Of
tradesmen and wOrkingmen who have
lived here and have just interest in
this country abbOr anu condemn the
hypocrisy OF these pretender5 and
their mafia-like intentions. They
sympathiZe with you, and they appre-
ciate all you have done for them in
the past, aud feel deeply indebted TO
you for the friendly attitude which
you have taken in their behalf. In
your contention against the unjust
usurpations of their rights by others,
the Hawaiian people feel thankful
hat your powerful influence has been
exercised and will be continued in
tn ir favor after you have gone away |
from us. 1t is not our intention, nor !
can we feel, we have flattered you by |
anything we have spoken in your fav- |
or. We are simply uttering truths |
while we are gladly giving expires ion |
to our sympathIes for you for the !
abuse which you have unjustly in |
Cured in your efforts TO oppose those |
whom your principles and sense of |
justice condemn, and To give language |
to our gratitude for your kindness to-
ward the Hawaiian people in all your
Intercourse with them, either IS Il
friend, a landlord, or as an employer
Our utterances today with regard 10
you, if praise there be in it, speaking
from my own observations in your
city, are but the echoes which L
once head spoken of you in COM
parisOn with other rich men in Cali
fOrnia, on the occasion Of the shoot
ing of millionaire Mackey,- a man
who was himself fairly well liked.
1t was, "that Of all the rich men of
California Claus Spreckels was about
as we'll liked any i'll the state, and
that rs proof of this feeling, he was
never known to have to travel about
with either detectives or pugilistS to
protect him against enemies In say
ing this of Il wealthy person in these
lays of lust and lawlessness, it speaks
volumes in his favor, especially as
ga pitaI is rarely credited to be just to
It's partner-labOr. With these few
aint expressions OF the Hawaiian
he friendly interest you have ever
aud still take in their welfare, let me
lose with wishing you and your (

md the prayer that we shall meet
