Star Newspaper: The articles i'm
your columns concerning the immigra-
tion of the Armenians to these islands
are well worth the thoughtful atten-
tion Of the Government and planters.
My acquaintance with these people
| impresses me with the fact that no
foreign laborers brought to these
shores would be of greater credit to
this country and Government.
They are an industrious. intelligent
peaceful and a home-loving people.
They are distinguished for their labor
ious character. In spite of the him
drances that have been raised against
them they have been the commercial
masters of Asia minor They are the
merchants, the skilled artisans and
agriculturalistS of that country. The
unjust taxes which the avaricious Of
ficer eXacts from then, at his own will,
would have killed the energy and in
dustry of weaker people. The Ar
+ imenian dares not utter word OF pro-.
test against these burdensome tsXes.

of cruel lashes and some part if not all

Yet he plods on, only to be robbed
again. =
a people who, after five centuries IF
oppression and persecution, will still
hold to their principle of freedom and
Christian profession. show what stuff
they are made of. The fanatical and
lazy Turk, in his disdain. may call
him a "Christian Slave" but in intel
ligent communities he is called free
man and an equal" And as a freeman
and equal he must be treated.
They are free from any character
istics which would arouse the preiu-
dice of western mind. such, for in
stance, as is now held toward the ASH
atics. or even the colored laborers of
the Southern States. The Armenians
are not an Asiatic people in the sense
in which that term is at present used.
As race they belong to the Aryan
or the lndo-European stock, the same
stock from which the Greeks Celts
and Anglo-SaXons originally came.
Hence they possess much the same
character which these nations have
shown. They are not so deeply bound
to their old customs and traditions as
to hinder them from entering into the
spirit and uniting readily with west
ern thought and progressiveness. They
are teachable and amenable to reason
able treatment. Wherever they have
gone they have made for themselves
most commendable record. Their
religious nature united with their en-
terprising character would make them
a valuable addition to any country.
They would undoubtedly play an i'm
portant part in the moral and mater
ial progress of these islands if they
could he induced to come here.
