These islands are. no doubt. far more valuable in a commercial way than they seem to be at the present time. There are. no doubt. many undeveloped riches in the Hawaiian Islands that will be developed in the future. Gentlemen on the other side of the House who are never interested in the labor of this country when they come to consider questions relating to the protection of labor by levying duties upon imported goods or who have very little interest in protecting labor against the foreign immigration that is thrown upon our shores from year to year. when they come to consider this qnestion are alarmed because 100.000 inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands will in some way be brought in conflict with American labor. I do not suppose that any of the inhabitants of Hawaii will migrate to this country. certainly not the laborers of these islands. They will not compete with the farmers in raising grain. because they do not raise grain.
