! What other benefits will the republi-
cans promise to make or give US, if we
are all to bolt, and rush head over heels
into the republican ranks and join that
party? Do not be too anxious; wait a
while. before any more benefits should
be forced upon us; better wait until We
have disposed and enjoyed the benefits
received from those anneXationists be-
I fore any more IS heaped upon US; other
wise we viii collapse if we are overloaded
with such promised wealth.
If we did consent, and all of us became
republicans, why, then there would be
among the people. Why, we will then
be compared to a flock of sheep in the
hands of the shearers. Shorn of all of
our rights by placing ourselves in this
manner under their full control, by
which we all would be placed at their
mercy.
We are a very veXing body to the re-
publicans, for opposing what they claim
to be beneficial annexation. For this we
are called stupid fools, and compared to
a baking jackass from pure ignorance.
What have been the results from this
.-lr 1ln<l how md
wealth the people were to receive as
brought about by these annexationists,
which We now all see with our own eyes.
Not only us but they also see it. Plenty
of so-called good seed was brought here;
it was scattered and sown in Hawaii nei,
and has borne it's fruit, such as thieves,
robbers, burglars and murderers. which
we are reaping today.
Who are the local republicans, and who
are those from abroad? They are all of
the one and the same as those of 1898.
This is a matter of much Importance
for us to consider. These two factions
of the republicans who are now among
at present. Those republicans, the
so-called locals, and those from abroad,
are the one and the very same faction
which we know of old, those of, 1893
whom we remember so well, the never to
be forgotten. They are the same of the
Republic of Hawaii, and the party in
power today of the Territory of Hawaii;
they are the very people who by force
deprived you, the Hawaiian race, of
your rights for some years past, and
which was only again restored to you
in the year 1900.
We have been doubly robbed and de-
frauded by them. The loss of country
and the loss of civil rights to you, the
native Hawaiians. Now at this time,
these same republicans expect US to take
heed of their advice. join and help them

We will be benefited. 1t has been for
some years so that the republicans have
had full control and have lived like our
Ali in Hawaii nei controlling all the nu-
merous positions of the government.
Now then, have these people taken the
trouble to look upon those of you of the
land who are now in great need and
assisted them by giving them some kind
of employment to earn a livelihood for
their families? Some of these families
are poor indeed. No! This is what they
do: They persist in preaching to you to
help and support them in their political
work to the detriment of yourselves and
country: and only when you have given
in to their wishes, and only then, Will
they give you work; but if you do not
comply with their wishes, never will they
give you any work to do, or VIII they
help you out of your troubles. What
benefits then can we poor Hawaiians ex-

must be content by laying doubled up

of the republicans who are now in office
and power, that there are numbers OF

this they take no notice Of you and give

will these officials give. and shower upon
them, all manner of offices and employ

stands unfiinchingly and without hesitI-

soil. do not let yourselves be carried
