are stationed in different quarters
on the Peninsula, and each OF them

it is their turn to win race.

ED. The INDEPENDENT
Your issue of Aug. % has the fol-
lowing: "Seventy-eight steerage pas
sengers arrived by the Doric and
greater number was patiently await
ing chance to get here" And then
again you talk thus: 1--WE have
warned white men without capital
to stay away" Is it possible, Mr..
Editor, that you are an enemy to the
plantations7 Here the planters have
been for years past, to heavy ex-
pense, importing Japs and Chinese
to carry on their sugar business,
which has caused the planters no end
Of trouble and worry OF mind. Now
being under the protection OF the
glorious Stars aud Stripes, with
splendid chance to fill the plantation
with good honest American labor at
not over forty dollars month and
found, while you for some strange
reason seem to be dissatisfied with
the outlook. The seventy. eight
Americans who have arrived here,
are only very small vanguard Of
what is to come, and the planters
will no doubt be much overjoyed to
give them work. just think, how
pleasant it will be in the course of
three years, TO visit the PLAN atioHs
and see from one to three hundred
good Americans, some with their
families, on each plantation, all
happy and contented. or course
there will be strike for little
more pay at intervals, but h, Il the
planters will soon become used to
that, and everything will he lovely
and the goose hang high for annex
alton and the heaven Of peace and
plenty it has brought TO the country.
Undoubtedly it will naturally be
expected that those good people
that have lavished pies aud iced
soGa water upon the soldier boys to
further the cause of annexation, will
in the cause Of humanity do the
same for those poor American
laborers until the sugar plant atoms
are able to furnish them with
employment. 1 feel certain that our
good Samaritans that have hypo-
critically blazoned before the pub
lie the Stars and Stripes, from head
TO toe nails, will keep up the good
work by feeding the American labor
boys with plenty. What is sauce for
the goose is also sauce for the geese
