Ter the American to the Japanese goods.
considerably over a million dollars will
be spent in American goods and in
promoting Hawaii s business. trade and
industries, after the demand for the
increased wages is complied with.
These figures certainly should appeal
to the white merchants of Honolulu
and Hawaii in general. Most of the
benefit flowing from the higher wages
Will revert to the interests of Hawaii
capitalists and merchants.
The Japanese are doing an eouar
amount of work, of equal quality in
equal space of time as done by labor
OF any other nationality, and yet they
are given only one-third of the wages
received by other labor. The demand
for higher wages with minimum of
the increase at $225O per month is
neither extravagant nor extraordinary.
They are doing just that amount, or
more, of work deserving that pay. The
demand is not hastily made nor for
mere pleasure of excitement. We are
demanding justice and nothing more.
These considerations will show that our
movement for higher wages is started
no less for the interests of the white :
merchants than for ourselves, and that
the interests of the white merchants are
not only not inconsistent with, but are
rather promoted by, the increased wages
for the plantation hands. We want the
community to understand that our
movement is not inaugurated for selfish
and narrow, antiquated chauvin istic
principles, but on broad and high
principle of justice to labor, and an
ideal to secure for Hawaii an enduring
economic welfare and for the American
ism good, fertile, productive sol, to
plant itself, and grow and prosper.
