here should respect this law. He sug.
gested at the time that the Territory
could advertise its advantages. This
would without doubt secure all the
immigrants necessary. The newly ap.
pointed Commission might lay before
the people of other countries the ad
vantages Of Hawaii This was legal
II the Commission would exert Its In
fluence in the United States or Europe
aliens of a desirable class would sure
ly be secured.
Start New Industries
Sargent was now better acquainted
with Hawaii. He had, especially on
Maui, seen what could be done by set
tiers. This was not cane. Cane was
the main industry but 1t was time that
other industries be started which
could insure substantial agricultural
community which would stand by II
sugar should fail.
II member OF the Commission
! could be sent to Europe he could Sc
cure labor. The Italian Government,
was trying to colonize the Italians. II
wanted to take them from the cities to
the open country. Many Italians were
now coming to the South, where they
were doing good work on the planta
tons. The Italians were not all to be
associated with the stilletto. The
Northern Italians were hard workers
If 10000 Of these could be secured for
Hawaii It would be great benefit
They we're fine grape raisers. Good
grapes could be raised here and Ha
wall could be q fine field for the Ital
ian grape grower and wine producer
This industry, as well as every other
budding industry, should be encour
aged.
Encourage Farmers.
Sargent had seen fine small farm
on Maui which showed what could be
done In that line here. That kind OF
people should be encouraged. Because
some had failed that was no reason
why others should not succeed. Ha
wall offered fine opportunities for az
riculturists. 1t had been objected that
there was no market. Hawaii was
getting many articles from the main
land which could be raised here. Ha
wall could raise almost anything and
could consume It herself. Sargent had
tasted fine fruits here. If Hawaii
could raise fruits three or four weeks
earlier than the mainland she could
benefit from the high prices OF the
on rly market
The plantations would benefit from
farmers who would in their spare
time work for the plantations. Sar
gent suggested that II a representa-
tive could be sent properly accredited
to the Italian Commissioner of Immi
ers for Hawaii. Hawaii's distance
from the labor fields would not be In
the way. This had been seen in the
immigration In the United States. A
rate could be. made from Palermo via
New Orleans and San Francisco
which would be low. The same could
be done In other cases. These rates
could surely be secured. Immigrant
rates were common thing. III ia
wall tried to this she could do 1t.
Promises Assistance.
Sargent had figured that Hawaii hat
decreased the population at the rate
of 1000 a week. Some left In the
Alameda and others in other boats
This drain should be counteracted The
Commission could have representa-
tive at New York. where many imml
grants could be found who, with an i'm
migrant rate, could easily be induced
to come to Hawaii. Many would pre-
fer Hawaii to the rugged parts OF the
United States in which they live. The
United States immigration Service
would be ready to encourage immi
grants to come to Hawaii instead OF
staying on the mainland, where there
was now danger of a superabund,
ance of immigrants. Sargent would
be glad to accredit representative of
Hawaii to Commissioner Rossi Of Italy.
