which control to a great extent their
pollciaa, would lie driven to tb wall.
The flretguo flr.d at Now York bjr either
of three power would liake Europe to
it center and render it neceeaarjr to
make a new map of that part of the
world. If Knglnnd wua nilly enough to
fight ua ehe would ofierato. an fur a the
Pacific coast In concerned, from Ksqul
malt, which In on our bordere and where
be baa one of the fliioet forU in exist
ence. For fifty year we have warned Euro
pean powere away from the Hawaiian
Inland. That warning baa a! way been
heeded. We are better ajle to take care
ofouraclvea uow than we were then.
Where ta there any new danger?
If it la oeceasary to build fortiflcationa
and guard the islaride, why not Improve
Pearl Harbor which waa ceded to uaby
Art. II of the Treaty of December 0,
1884, by which we wore glren "the ejtolu
elva right to enter the harbor of l'earl
Ulver In the btland of Oahu and to eatab
liah and maintain thero a coaling and
repair atation for the use of veeeelaof
the United Htatea, and to that end the
. United Htate may improve the entrance
to eald harbor and do all other thing
needful to the our 00 aforesaid.
4, It in Hiihl in t tin iiHHoviiUhn of
the llpflprorltf Treat will annul tne
l'earl II arbor eimlon.
Ana. Thl la not true. A cession can
not b avoided by the termination of the
treaty making it. There rnut be a re.
trocession by ua to have that effect,
Hut If there were any defect n to our
title, can we not remedy It? Would not
the Hawaiian government be delighted
to have a etrong friend clone by?
1$. It In until that it we Mime to take
tlw Mamie our onillon will be morally
1 wimkiiniiil.
Ana. The contrary la true. Under the
Monroe Doctrine we do not claim or
take, nor would we have, the Houth
American Republic, or either of them.
Theaame doctrine hue alwaya been ap
plied to Hawaii and Ha application rec
ognized by all powera. The atretigtb ol
the Monroe Doctrine couslat, In our lib
atentlon from conquest or ubsoi ptlou.
We merely warn other government not
to oppreaa our aleter republic. Jf Kurope
aid to ua, take Mexico, or we will take
it, we would reply, "We will not do ao,
and you mnt keep your handa off."
Thl long defined and carefully regarded
policy we apply to Hawaii, if, on the
other hand, we aliall begin the plan of
aborptloo, we 111 tint get ready to tnke
the consequence. Army and navy mut
be indefinitely lncreaed. Onerous taxa
tion arid centralization will follow.
(I. It k clalmeil that animation will
be moHt beneficial to our laboring inter
, ontM.
Ana. Thl la untrue, and happily the
absurdity of the claim la thoroughly ap
preciated by the laboring people of the
lluited Htate who have not bealtated
from their national aHemblage to local
meeting to denounce the entire project.
If Honolulu I a good place for white
labor why baa not audi labor gone there?
In what direction I the new enterprise
to be directed? Kverybody concede
that our intelligent white people will not,
work In the cane field. Notwitustnwl
ing the talk with reference to the general
character of the climate it la certain that
a cane field la a real furnace. While the
temperature rune from 60 to 00 degreee,
the very abence of extreme cold and in
tense heat result lu tt warm aamene
enervating In the extreme. No climate
that cau produce coffee can be otherwise
than uupleaeautly warm Tlw absence
Ol white labor eatatilislie mat there 1
no field for It. Hugar la the great indue
try. In the year 17 over 500,000,000
pound were produced. Thi I about
enough to an pply the whole population
weet of the Miourl river. We hear the
claim often that the limit of production
haa been reached. The name aertion
waa confidently made when the output
was only one-fourth of that of 1ND7.
Hugar I the mainstay of the islands;
without it there would be no consider
able commerce and no talk ol annexa
tion. Much la ald a to coffee raining, Our
coiihuI at Honolulu ha recently made a
very full report a to the statu of thi
InduMtry. He ehow that the labor I
wholly Asiatic That the Chlneee re
ceive ier month and the Japane
15 without board. That the Industry
la not yet firmly etabllhd. That ea pi
tai la neoeaaary. He venture the opin
ion that (lerman labor could be profit
ably employed in plunttug, but doe not
pretend that "picking," the moat exiien
alve part of the truusaction, can be doua
by any but Inferior labor. Tb coffee
apply of the world now fully equal the
consumption. There U no tariff in th la
country upon coffee. The Hawaiian
muHteompete with th. low priced labor
of Hraill and Central America. Mani
festly thra I nothing In thl outlook
for either the American farmer or th
workiug man. A lew nierhantre ran get
work now and then In Hawaii, but th
market in thi rel I quite limited.
Much baa ta eald of the Intention of
the Hole government to prevent Japan
eae Immiiiration.
That there I ao each Intention ean U

are after profit. Tbey trade with na be
cauee they make money by ao doing.
Without any remlreion of duty they
would aend their augar and coff e to ne
becnuee here ia their market. When the
McKlnley bill Interfered with their augar
they till came here. With the reciprocity
treaty in force they would be Inaane to
go ele where. Were it neoeeeary to di
crlmlnate to hold their trade we could
do ao by a reasonable treaty. Ai a mat
ter of fact however, they will, a ha
been aaid continue to deal with the peo
ple of the United Btate for their own
financial benefit.
In conclusion; The treaty la not war
ranted by any of the argument made In
it behalf. That which baa already
been eaid will cover thi propoMitinn. It
I a mere acheme of the Hawaiian Hugar
Truet. The auggar plantere, who ure
not uumeroue but enormoUMly rich,
have reaped their bem At for the inoet
part from the reciprocity treaty with
United etatee, by meana of which we have
donated to them f 75,000,000- the cx
tent of their exemption from duty.
They fear that thie treaty may be
changed and made morctrulyieciprocal.
They therefore are apending time and
money to eecur unnexation and when
thi I accomplished their ample Income
will be made (Ktrmanent without any
benefit accruing to the people of the
United Htate, Tula accounta for the
poNitioti of varlou nowepaper and Indi

We do not exclude Jupauee and will not
do ao If Hawaii I anneved. We exclude
Chlneee laborer, but we do not drive
away thoee already here, Therefore,
the Asiatic uow in the Inland will re
main and ('hiiieee and Japanese "cheap
labor" will be Incorporated.
We are told that mot of the etigur
land I held under lease and that there
lx iilmitv iif (Inn land "(or the iwolile." 1
auyoiie fool enough to think that the
Hawaiian Hugar ISaron will let an out-
aider in? If our land lawa are extended
over the Island, will the American
farmer "get in" firet? If there I a general
grub, will he bo considered? The truth I
that it tukea a fortune to develop und
operate a plantation lu Hawaii to get a
tart and the poor man will bo even les
"in It there than lie l here.
if there ia anything the matter with
the Japanese and liawullun treatie, If
there are trouble with Japnn in con
templation, If there I dltllculty regard
lug our improvement ol l'earl Harbor,
why not tender our good olllce and we
run fix these matter to the satisfaction
of all, II our ability to do thi I ques
tioned, I answer, why not try? The ad
vocate of annexation will not permit
the makinir of any audi negotiation ba
cause they know that the same would be
successful.
It I said that the next war will lie de
termined by a naval battle. K tin Im
true, why go two thousand mile to light
Much battle? Why not bring it oil near
our protected hnrbors7 M by leave homo
to defend homer
It I said that theJapuneseand native
will uniteand overthrow the go vein men t.
Thi will not be done, .lapun openly dis
claim any such intention. Hour inter
eat required it we would intervene to
prevent any sucli eirort. I lie answer
however to thi pretense I that it is au
uuexation bugaboo. It I suggested by
the very men who are importing cotract
laborer uow. The Dole government is
doing thi through it board of immi
gration,
it I eatd that the ugar trust i
ngaint annexation. Why? Mint insti
tution ha made money in conseiiueuce
of th reciprocity treaty and consumer
have not saved a cent. Those who have
lieen supposed to lie the friend of the
trust are working ulght and day for an
nexation.
