ers, when they arrived. They had been
carelessly recruited at time when the
laboring population of Porto Rico was
in condition Of acute distress. Few
were in physical condition to make the
long voyage when they embarked; they
were mostly people from the coffee
country, who had been starved out
when the region was devastated by the
hurricane of 1899. They were half
starved, anaemic, and, in some cases,
diseased. A considerable number were
petty criminals, wharf-rats and prosti-
tutes from Ponce and other coast towns.
They were not SO much representatives
of Porto Rico as Of famine and misery
in the abstract when they arrived at
Honolulu. Numbers Of the men were
afflicted with hydrocele and other dis
eases, and were manifestly incapable Of
working their way among the .immi-
grants. But this was hardly the fault
of the Hawaiian planters, who spent
nearly $565,000 to get these men, or
more than $192 passage money and re-
cruiting expenses for every adult male
arriving, and who were practically in
terested in their physical welfare.
/. When they reached the plantations,
many of them were taken to the hospi-
tails, and never left them alive. They
did not know how to take care of them
selves. They were morally upset by
their long travels and changed environ
ment, and many could not acquire the
new habits of life necessary to their
new condition. So considerable num-
Der Of them became strollers and vaga-
bonds, and whenever possible flocked
into the towns
The Democrat. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1910-1910, 1910-11-01

"The planters appear to have kept
their side of the agreement. In most
cases, however, the men have left the
plantations where they were originally
employed, and have wandered from
place to place, taking positions as fancy
or necessity dictated. Their habits are
untidy, and this prejudiced the mana
gers of the plantations and the people
against them. They became unpopular
on account of the large number Of Grim
inals that accompanied them. Thieving
was extremely rare in the country dis
tricts previous to their arrival. Doors
and windows were seldom locked, and
small articles could be left about with
perfect safety. With the arrival of the
Porto Ricans all this was changed.
Commitments to Oahu prison dur
ing the first ten months of 1902 were,
per thousand inhabitants: Japanese,
IL; Chinese, 3; whites, So; Hawaii
ans, 81; Porto Ricans, 1872"
Notwithstanding, the planters are
still casting envious eyes in the direc-
ton of Porto Rico, and last year it was
announced that they were going to send
agents to that Island again to recruit
more Porto Rican labor. The announce
ment raised an cutlery that made them
pause. Ex-Governor Cleghorn de-
clared that if any attempt were made
to bring in more Porto Ricans, he would
appeal to Congress to put stop Of it.
This threat was effective, for there is
no, desire to have the Federal authori-
ties examine too closely into immigra-
ton methods.

IMPORTING A POPULATION
BY EDWARD P. IRWIN,
In the Pacific Monthly

plantations have had to work for ride
ulously small wages. Associate Justice
Perry, of the Supreme Court, is Por-
tuguese, his father being one of the first
who came to the Islands. Frank An
drade, district magistrate of Honolulu,
is Portuguese. Last year four of the
members of the legislature, Castro, Cor
rea, Alfonso and Furtado, were Portu-
guese.
The Portuguese of Hawaii own real
estate valued at about $3,000,O0O. They
have two or three newspapers and sew
eral mutual benefit societies. Two of
the latter have 1900 members each.
The last lot of Portuguese that were
brought to Hawaii as assisted immi-
grants came last year, being recruited
in the Azores and Madeira by A. j.
Campbell, special agent Of the Terri
torial Board Of immigration. But they
did not prove an entire success, for
most of them are poorer mentally, phys
cally and morally than those who came
earlier. Furthermore, it cost the Terri
tory large sum to bring them to the
Islands, partly on account of accidents
and partly on account Of poor judy
ment. About IT'S Portuguese arrived
in the steamship Swanley, and they cost
the Territory about $15O,OOO. Most of
them, however, are now settling down
as plantation laborers.
A Pinch of Porto Rican in the Mess
If the importation of the Russian i'm
migrations is serious mistake, the
bringing into the country of about 5000
Porto Ricans was blunder that was
hardly less than a crime The sugar
planters fatuously hoped that in the
Porto Rican they might find the solu-
ton of the labor problem. But they
didn't; they only made still worse the
social and economic conditions of the
Territory. Fortunately, many of the
Porto Ricans have gone away. Some
have been hanged and others are in
Jail. Of the remainder, a portion are
working on the plantations; but many
are loafing about Honolulu, living in the
filthiest tenements, doing as little work
as possible, and being looked upon with
suspicion every time crime is commit
ted by an unknown offender
The Porto Ricans had been in Hawaii
but short lime when they began to
complain noisily that they were not well
treated. They made so much noise
about it that the Federal Government
in 1903 sent a commissioner from Wash
ington to investigate into the truth OF
falsity of the tales that had reached the
National Capital. The following ex.
tracts from his report pretty well sun
up the Porto Rican situation as regards
Hawaii:
Were Not Promising.
'The Porto Ricans gave the leasr
promise, either as citizens or as labor

CONTINUED from Yesterday
The Story of the Portuguese.

In the forties and fifties Of the last
century few Portuguese came to Ha-
wall, chiefly sailors, who deserted or
otherwise left the whaling vessels on
which they were employed. These
formed the nucleus Of what is now one
of the most important divisions of the
population of Hawaii. Those early Por-
tuguese established homes in the Islands
and raised families. Some Of them
titled their little plots Of land; others
went into business.
Up to 1858, however, there were but
eighty-six Of them in the Islands, and
the next quarter of a century brought
only comparatively small number, the
Portuguese in 1878 numbering 436. Few
of them, or of those who came later
hailed directly from Portugal being
chiefly natives of Fayal Graciosa, st.
Jorge and the Cape Verde Islands.
Even thirty-fve years ago the scar
city of labor was serious drawback to
the success of the plantations, and
when, in 1876, the reciprocity treaty
with the United States was concluded,
by which Hawaiian sugar was admitted
to the States at low rate Of duty,
thereby making the sugar industry per-
manent and much more profitable, the
demand for more and better labor be-
came pressing, and the Kingdom decid-
ed that something must be done.
Through the agency of DR.. Hillebrand,
the Royal Commissioner Of Immigra-
ton, arrangements were made to recruit
laborers in Madeira and the Azores. On
September 80, 1878, the sailing vessel
Priscilla arrived at Honolulu with $50
Portuguese contract laborers.
This was the beginning of assisted i'm
migration to Hawaii-of system
which, in some form or other, has been
in effect up to the present time, and
which the last Importation of laborers,
that Of the Russians has in all probable
ity fortunately brought to an end. For
while there have been some good results
from the system, the evil effects are to-
day curse to the country.
From that time up TO the present Por-
tuguese have poured into Hawaii, until
today the Portuguese population num-
bers about 10000 Shipload after ship
load came around the Horn. The cur
rent Of immigration was fully estab-
lished by 1882, treaty of immigration
being arranged between Portugal and
the Kingdom of Hawaii.
