This remission of duties. this enormous bonus which we have conferred upon those people. has gone not to the people of the United States but to foreigners. It has not gone to pay a single American laborer. It has gone to pay Asiatic labor under contractslave labor. and twothirds of the profit has gone to Germans. Englishmen. Scandinavians. and native Hawaiians. and less than onethird of it to citizens of the United States. Less than onethird of the sugar plantations of those islands are owned by Americans. twothirds are owned by other people. So we have remitted this vast sum of $78.000.000. and twothirds of it has gone to men who are not citizens of the United States.
