A number of Anierican laborers who were taken there years ago to work upon sugar plantations have abandoned the business. and today not one is employed in any of their tropical industries. Between 1895 and 1897 even the eightyseven Americans who were put down in the census of Hawaii as being engaged in the sugar industry as employees have disappeared entirely. They turn them off. They were foremen. they were bookkeepers. but the Jap came in. skilled as he is in every art and in every business. He would work for $12 a month. and the American who was being paid $50 and $75 was dismissed. So even in Hawaii. since 1895. every American employed as a laborer on these plantations has been dismissed and his place filled by an Asiatic.
