Their constitution provides. first. for a property qualification which disfranchises every native. It is a property qualification which would disfranchise 12.000.000 of the voters of the United States. Second. a provision that no man can vote unless he can read and write the English language. With that they shut off the contract laborers and all other foreigners but the English. So their entire voting population is less than a thousand out of a total population of 90.000. Yet they tell us they have started a "sister Republic." I do not blame them for what they have done. because it is the only form of government that can be maintained there.
